looking for inside scoop on Bahia Gran Princpl

[Bill]

Greetings all, we are 3 weeks out from Tulum and looking forward to our arrival. We are looking for a little information to increase our enjoyment. We have heard about King size bed (vs. two pushed together) Restaurant reservations (which are worth it) Guidance for requesting a room (ocean view, upper floors???) Premium Alcohol (do they have it?BYOB???) THANK YOU!!!

Hi, Bill, sorry, but GBP isn't really in Tulum, but about 20 minutes north. You might try the Trip Advisor Tulum forum, which sort of mixes the All-Inclusive information in with their Tulum info. I'm sure you'll find many people with good advice on GBP. I haven't been there so I can't help you, sorry.

GBP has been moved to the Akumal forum on TA - it's closer to Akumal than Tulum. Now...if they would just move Dreams to Tankah...

You might also check in on LocoGringo, if you haven't already. Lots of folks there visit AI's. Here, I think just about all of us stick to the smaller hotels/cabana places or villas.

Sorry we can't be of more help! I'm sure you'll find lots of good info out there though.

Besides...most of us barbarians don't stay at AI's!! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_4_20.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxmk762YYUS)

I do know that it was all over the local papers a month ago how they got caught filling in wetlands, blasting cenotes and pumping their sewage into the underground water system. That's all I know about Grand Bahia.
XD:(

Ugh, Dan, that's dreadful. Thanks for letting us know. :(

And then there's the whole golf course thing....

[beachreader]

Oh man, that is horrible! Glad they got caught, though, hopefully they'll be shamed (and fined) into changing.

Makes me sick.

[luvthesun]

UGH!!! Totally gross. I'm glad they got caught too.

Are they the ones that bought Akumal beach resort? I heard it was changing hands.
