THE IDEAL DESTINATION
For those who are planning to spend their next vacation enjoying golf, beautiful beaches and the countless charms of the Mexican Caribbean, the Riviera Maya is undoubtedly the ideal destination.
In this field we will find jungle, mangrove and cenotes. The first time you see a cenote -and in this field there are some perfectly integrated into the tour- does not leave you indifferent. It is something to be experienced. So much beauty will pierce you.
The location of the resort is ideal, situated in Akumal, between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. In Playa del Carmen we will find world-class restaurants and fantastic leisure and shopping options. In Tulum we can visit the famous walled city of the Mayan culture. Many other excursions and activities, such as scuba diving or island hopping, are within easy reach of visitors.
There will be, however, those who do not want to leave the resort, as they can travel to the various themed restaurants, the beaches, the golf course and the leisure areas on the little trains that run constantly around the resort.
NATURAL GOLF GUIDANCE METHOD
The golf facilities are completed with an academy run by Toni Planells and where teaching is given with his Natural Golf Guidance method. It can be a great opportunity to approach golf, as this method gets those who have never picked up a club before to approach golf in a non-traumatic way and can have fun from the first moment. It is also perfect for correcting bad habits and getting players who are stuck in their progress and want to improve back on track.
The services are equally excellent: golf clubs and golf carts with GPS are available for rent and there is even a golf shoe rental service.
It has become a tradition that, in October, the BAHIA PRINCIPE Golf Open is held, where the best of the golf world is brought together around one of the most recognized brands in hospitality and tourism: BAHIA PRINCIPE Hotels & Resorts. The tournament is one of the most important in the Riviera Maya.
Regarding the hotels available in the resort, there is something to satisfy all preferences.
There are two hotels reserved for adults only, where luxury and exclusivity prevail: the LUXURY Bahia Principe AKUMAL, right on the beach, and the LUXURY Bahia Principe SIAN KA’AN, located in front of the golf course clubhouse, ideal for golf players.
The other two hotels are also a perfect choice to enjoy the beaches and the authentic Mexican flavor: the GRAND BAHIA PRINCIPE TULUM, with pools right on the beach and with the peculiarity of releasing turtles, and the GRAND BAHIA PRINCIPE COBA, the ideal place for families within the Riviera Maya complex, with the best facilities and spaces for children in the complex such as the waterpark, in addition to being able to choose family rooms for up to eight people and special services for children.
Climate, beaches, golf, gastronomy, culture and the friendliness of the best hosts: the perfect combination for a blissful getaway.
