Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka'an (Adults Only)

“Good Hotel But Not So Luxury”

Excellent Staff, Pools, and Grounds. Very Good to Excellent a la carte and night entertainment. Average Buffet and Drinks. Lobby furniture needs replacement. Rooms large but average. Bathrooms could use renovations (ceilings especially). Modern minimalist aesthetic doesn't feel luxury.

“Lots of potential”

This resort has so much potential. It’s beautiful, with good food, friendly staff and lots of beach chairs. Unfortunately there is no one enforcing the rules, so people tend to smoke wherever and whenever they want without a care for the travellers that came to this resort because of the non smoking rules. I have even seen people smoking at the bar or next to security and the staff do nothing about it. The adults only private beach regularly has kids and other guests there. The shuttles that transport you around the resort can be a wait, and often the last people to show up for a shuttle rush to be the first on so be prepared to miss a shuttle opportunity.

“Great Staff but not for me”

I really wanted to like this place as the staff are lovely and work really hard and the grounds are lovely. Unfortunately that's where it stops.

I really wanted to like this place as the staff are lovely and work really hard and the grounds are lovely. Unfortunately that's where it stops. I have never been a fan of All Inc resorts & the BH did nothing to change my mind. Rooms - very spacious but basic, a bit shabby & and dire need of an update - I was on a top floor room and it had a strong smell of damp. Pools - too shallow to swim in - seem to have been designed for people to stand around and drink in. The lovely lady Marisol doing drinks service around the Cenote pool worked really hard to keep everyone's glasses topped up Beach - the beach is lovely however the complex has a motorway running through it so you are forced to queue at a stop for a "wally trolley" to get to the other 3 resorts & beach and take your chances with the inevitable scrum of people fighting to also get on. One particularly aggressive gentlemen almost pushed me down a flight of stairs the the Akumal stop in his determination to get on before anyone else. Food - if you like beige food you will like the buffet - breakfast was ok but lunch and dinner was not for me - nothing was more than luke warm - I like to eat al fresco on holiday and nowhere other that the Cenote snack bar catered to this. The a la Carte restaurants ranged from ok to dire - the service seemed to sky rocket if you paid for the a la carte wine. Overall it did nothing to change my views on AI resorts but we made the most of our week long girls trip.
