My husband and I stayed here April 2009, this review is long overdue but well deserved. Prior to this resort I had stayed at Bahia Principe Tulum twice. This resort is small, not alot of walking involved but that's what makes it more romantic in my opinion. When we arrived the resort was at a low occupancy due to the H1N1 scare. The day after we arrived actually it was announced that all the airlines were shut down in Canada to fly to Mexico. During the week we watched the staff disinfect doorknobs, menus, chairs, everything. We never got sick nor did we meet anyone that got sick. By the end of the week the resort had 20% occupancy and we were told that 400 staff were sent home for lack of work. Needless to say we had the resort to ourselves. Every night at dinner was so private, food was excellent at all restaurants. The beach was lovely. We really spent most of our time by the pool listening to music. We did enjoy the lobby bar, they play the best music there. Our room was spectacular, it was partial ocean view but in our opinion was full ocean view. Service was 100% all week long. We really enjoyed the grouper sandwich at the grill and the breakfast buffet was also a favourite. The gym was super, all new equipment and well spaced out however the a/c was not working so it was extremely humid in there all week.
All in all this resort made our honeymoon special and romantic. We would go back in a heartbeat and book the same room category.
