    We stayed at BP Tulum, but we got a good sense of it while we were touring - it’s a great resort for the money… good food, pools, service, entertainment 👍🏻 the only drawback is the proximity to the beach, but they do have a nice little snack bar in the Coba beach section.

    My boyfriend and I went to Bahia Principe in 2002, 2003, and 2009. It was before the storm, so the resort looked very different. We stayed in the "middle part" of the resort. To the left was the "upgrade" resort, to the right, it was more children, and we noticed the difference in the "sand." More rocks, less "white beautiful sand." We always got up early, went down to beach and saved "2" beach chairs and canopies. Then to the breakfast buffet (to the right) as opposed to the large buffet. We went to the large buffet for lunch and dinner. We reserved a couple of the specialty restaurants on the 1st day, when we arrived. After the 1st year we went, the large blue towels for the beach were in the rooms. However, the following years, you needed a card to go to a kiosk to receive your towels, (which was a pain, long walks) The 1st and 2nd year, (we had Apple Vacation) there were large comfortable buses that stopped along each resort and dropped off their guests. We, were the last stop. Very long ride. We were exhausted. The 3rd time, the buses were no more, they used small vans, which were very uncomfortable. I'm only 5' and couldn't sit with my boyfriend so I had to sit in front seat, and my knees were hitting the dashboard! Were we were, no children, "topless were allowed" and really no big deal! The rooms were great, we lucked out, and got the 3rd floor each time. Alot of large lizards. Since we were guests that returned, the front desk sent us to the VIP section, which sent us to the left, ( which we didn't want) so we asked to go to the other part of the resort. It took 4 hrs and I had an enormous migraine! Anyway, I noticed how different Bahia Principe is now. The storm (years ago) changed it, completely. The food was very good! Entertainment very good also. The water clear, warm plenty of beautiful small fish, swimming around our legs. There were kayaks (we, didn't use) The airport was horrible, each time! My 1st time, I was pulled out of line and my bag torn apart! Very embarrassing! 2nd and 3rd trip, no searches. But, no improvement in the airport. I am now 68, my boyfriend 81 and I'm disabled needing a walker, so unfortunately, my travel days are over. May still in near future, a cruise. Anyway, thank you, for the vlog, shows how much, it has changed. But they also added a few things that caught my eye, "The Coffee Bar!"

    Thanks for watching! We haven’t been to iberostar. From the other resorts you mentioned, we would recommend either the Coba or the Barcelona Maya Beach. Coba is great- great food, entertainment, amenities, pools- but it’s far from the beach. The Barcelo Maya Beach is also great- it’s part of a large complex that has a lot to offer, has good food and rooms, and is right on the beach. It depends what you’re after in a vacation 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Doesn't look like they have much vegetarian options for dinner as the vegetarian corner was small but i did see vegetarian mixed in with the meat, if you can let me know if there was a lot of vegetarian options that didn't contain any meat , eggs, chicken, etc. Do the other restaurants in this resort have more vegetarian options mentioned above and are they difficult to book a reservation.also would they be able to make vegetarian fajita, enchiladas, buritto, quasedella and veg nachos if we were to mention this?. I have sent you another reply message if you could please reply when you have time. Thanks

    The Coba and Tulum are very similar in terms of amenities and food - the main difference is that Tulum is right on the beach, whereas Coba is not.. plus Tulum is newly renovated so the rooms are much nicer. Both hotels have lots of activities and splash pads for the kids 👍🏻
