01 · In a sentence

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum in Q.R., open FebruaryMay.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum sits directly on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Riviera Maya, where white-sand beaches meet turquoise waters backed by lush tropical vegetation.

The all-inclusive resort spans 440 acres of beachfront property, offering sweeping ocean vistas and direct access to the water for ceremonies and receptions.

Towering palm trees and limestone cliffs frame the landscape, creating natural backdrops for wedding photography and celebrations.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! The hotel staff - especially at the buffet were incredibly friendly and their service was exceptional. Beach and ocean were beautiful. Only complaint is the room. Telephone didn’t work - had to ask to have it fixed multiple times. Toilet leaked all week. Last night of trip ceiling started pouring water from it at 2am. Fridge was not restocked on multiple days and had to request water multiple times. If it weren’t for the room we received and the service related to the room - this resort would be an absolute 10/10.
