Rating7.9Standard Bahia Principe activity programme — non-motorized water sports, kids club (Zama Kids Club), teen programme, fitness classes, and evening entertainment. The PGA golf course is the standout paid activity. Evening entertainment is described as minimal — the stronger shows are at Grand Coba's theatre.
Central pool with swim-up bars and water activities. Busy from mid-morning. Sunbed shortage is a recurring complaint — arrive before 9am for shaded positions.
Children's water park with slides. Supervised. The main draw for families with kids under 12.
Quieter pool areas. The practical option when the main pool is at full social capacity.
5-minute shuttle from the resort. White sand Caribbean beach, chairs and umbrellas included. Non-motorized water sports available (1 hour/day included).
Adults-only section of the beach. Quieter, better service. Worth requesting access specifically if you're a couple or adults-only group.
Premium beach club experience. May carry extra charge — check pricing at the beach desk.
1 hour per day at the beach, included. Snorkeling, kayaking, paddle surfing.
Extra charge with guest discount. Golf Digest-ranked 2021 — the on-site course has a genuine credential for serious golfers.
