Welcome to the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal Resort!
The Gran Bahia Príncipe Resort is formed by three 5 star hotels (Tulum, Akumal, and Coba) with a total of 1,440 rooms, the commercial and entertainment center "Hacienda Doña Isabel" and the best variety of services in the Caribbean. Designed by the prestigious Mexican architect, Fernando Quirarte, and inspired by the Puuc Mayan architectural period, the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal welcomes its guests with all of Mexican's characteristic warmth. Materials such as stone, talavera pottery, marble, large palapas, hardwoods and an exquisite colour combination make the hotel a cool and harmonious place that is easy to discover and enjoy.
The project was carried out following patterns of sustained tourism in order to make the best use of all the area's resources. The kilometre-long beach is completely natural, and large, manicured gardens will make your strolls around the complex all the more enjoyable. Modern energy-saving and water-processing systems, among others, illustrate the hotel's concern for the environment.
The Mayan fortress of Tulum is only 20 minutes away from Gran Bahia Principe Akumal Mexico, where visitors will find ancient ruins overlooking the blue Caribbean. At the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal, you will find a splendid variety of dining options, including a choice of specialty Mexican, Italian and open-air Mediterranean. The kids will enjoy meeting new friends at the Bahia Principe Akumal El Principito Mini Club throughout the day, and the adults can dance at the disco until dawn. Gran Bahia Principe Akumal has 810 air-conditioned rooms and suites. Gran Bahia Principe Akumal has just added a full service Spa to the resort. Guests can decide to be pampered with massages, facials and relaxing therapies at the newly opened Marina Spa also within the Gran Bahia Principe Akumal complex. The professional gymnasium equipment, which also forms part of the new feature, is of course at their disposal without cost
