This review is coming a little late, as we stayed at the end of January. Yet, here it is. There are three GBP hotels combined (Acumal, Tulum and Coba) and you can use all no matter where you stay. Here is the brief account of our stay in Coba. Reception: Arrived at night, quickly registered, did not wait for bell... More

I never listened to anyone when the told me to use extra caution in Mexico, and I wish I had to after the worst vacation I had in my entire life! Coba is a 5 star hotel... more like 5 thumbs down. The hotel looked nice, until anyone served you. Firstly the reception staff were very rude, and the management... More

We arrived Apri 19th at around 12pm. There was a group of 6 of us (3 couples). Our rooms weren't ready, but the friendly staff at reception got us checked in and gave us our bracelets. They took our luggage and said they'd bring it to our room for us when it was ready (thank goodness!). We immediately beelined for... More

My husband and I had never been to an all inclusive resort before and by the time we left this resort we were wondering why we ever vacationed any other way. The food was very good with lots of selection at the buffet. My husband enjoys his vino and was pleasantly surprised to find that he could wander over to... More

This is my first trip (many more to come) down to Mexico (April 19th 2012-April 26th, 2012. But honestly, I never had a problem with the resort, the people, the food, the entertainment (Nightly). I thought everything and everyone was awesome... Especially Jesus, and Maggi at the Kukulcan Buffet, we tipped them well. :) Jesus and the other dude, at... More

Our room was immaculate every day, fully stocked with decorative towel animals. Had no trouble sleeping, air conditioner worked well, and bed was confortable. We didn't have... More

This was our 5th time to Coba section. As always, it was wonderful. This time we had friends and family with us for my sister's b-day. 16 people in all. Yes, the resort is an hour away from the airport. If you book a shared ride from your travel agent your bus may stop at other resorts. It could take... More

This was my first time to Mexico. The Coba was an absolutely amazing place to stay. The food was wonderful, and I am picky, but never ever went hungry. The drinks were great and the bar tenders were very open to concocting drinks they had never done before. Absolutely everyone from our arrival to our departure were very accommodating and... More
