Gran Bahia Principe Akumal/Tulum/Coba - POST HERE!


Recommended Posts

Swankster...your pictures are beautiful! I love the idea of the post cards for your wedding album. I want my hair style to be quite similar to yours. Love the BM's dresses, your dress....I guess I love most of it. haha

 

Can't wait to see your review! I'm getting married at the GBP next April but I wish it was next month. I love reading the reviews and seeing pictures. It gets you so excited for your own wedding!

 

Did you stay at Tulum? I'm debating on whether to stay at Coba or Tulum. Where is the Hacienda located in relation to the hotels?

Thanks so much!!

We stayed at Tulum and I'm sooo glad we did. Coba looked nicer/newer but Tulum was right on the beach - and that was a must for me. Plus being the Bride/Groom you get a room upgrade and I'm pretty sure the room was the same as the Coba suites. The hacienda is walking distance from Tulum and a short trolley ride from Coba & Akumal. You can see the Hacienda from the Tulum lobby. But I do have to agree with other brides on here who have said that Akumal beach is way better - so true but then again Akumal is farther from the Hacienda... each location has their pros/cons and it's different for each person I guess.

Just thought of something - somewhere earlier in this thread is a link to the resort map.. have you seen it? If not I can try to upload it later from home.

Swankster - I noticed you didn't have the red carpet at the gazebo for your ceremony. Did you ask for it that way or did they just do it? When I was planning, I had noticed the red carpet in some pics and decided I didn't want it. And then I completely forgot about it when we were actually there! After the ceremony was over, the staff looked like they were setting up for another wedding and I said to my MOH "oh I'm glad they didn't have that carpet out for my ceremony". She looked at me and said, "Ummm...yeah they did". hahaha...so wrapped up, I didn't even notice!

Haha that's hilarious!! I didn't want the red carpet either but totally forgot to even mention it... so they took it upon themselves not to use it! I didn't even know they were going to use the pink flower petals either.. so that was a pleasant surprise too!

Oh yeah! I just remembered that it was pouring rain right up until my ceremony started so I bet that's why they didn't use the carpet!

I don't think anyone threw rose petals at mine... they were already spread on the ground.

it shouldn't be a problem, most of the time you have a section of the restaurant or the whole thing for you & your guests. we had 42 people and we were in one area of it, and no one else was in there. the only thing you may have is one option for meal instead of more choices with that many guests. they will accommodate food allergies too when requested so don't worry.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
