Coba is a great place to stay. Beds are firm but bed toppers are available.Rooms are dated but didn't bother us as they are clean and comfy. We had upgraded bracelets so we could visit other areas. I'd recommend this as Coba buffet for lunch and dinner is good but repetitive. All staff were amazingly helpful. We had bed toppers and help with AC within an hour of request. Pools and beach areas are beautiful.
Everything was great, but more activities would be nice. Lots of wildlife (the coatis are so cute!), and the food was pretty good. Overall, we had a very good experience.
The food is not up to par and not consistent,not much diversity and the taste was not good overall. Difficulties booking a la carte restaurent and beach is a little bit small. The service was very good and the personnel attentive.
Amazing staff, good food, nice beach plenty of events going on for entertainment. Awesome a la carte restaurants!! Which you get a couple with your stay. No complaints it was everything we wanted in our vacation.
Our room was very clean and quiet.
Buffet was very good and well stocked if you went earlier.
Wait staff was so kind and helpful.
Swim up bar should have two bar tenders - we felt so bad for the bars with one person working.
Dinner reservations were difficult to get but the concierge was helpful and we did manage to get two nights out.
We appreciated the shuttle to the beach and hacienda areas.
Bike tour was so good - through that we found out where the snorkel gear and kayaks were but we should have done this the first day.
Yoga class with Ronaldo was a highlight and excellent. Swim up bar was wonderful, beach and water beautiful.
Loud music til 11pm we could hear from our room kept me up at night.
Staff was super helpful, the room was clean, the trollies running around were fantastic, we usually travel to more party oriented resorts but for a family friendly resort we had a great time, a lot of the tours are local to the area as well

3/5 stars. It was fine, nothing to scream about. Definitely needs upgrades. Water park needs a fresh coat of paint, sucks the beach wasn't on the actual COBA property but a short trolley ride away. The staff were very good to us as we had two young kids. I would likely comeback but stay at the AKUMAL resort instead it was beautiful and beach front.
Late checkout was accommodated at no charge which was fantastic, but no chance for el la carte dinners as they were all booked up solid before we even arrived. So buffet 3x a day for 7 days was a bit much.
Had an unforgettable experience with my family. We look forward to returning soon and wished we could have extended our stay.
On a wish list for the next time is to see the pool hours extended just a little longer in the evening.
A big thank you and appreciation to all the staff.
The Kids’ Club really stood up, the staff were nice and they had a good daily schedule for kids. Kids could also participate in theatre performances and dance in the evenings. My son really enjoyed participating.
We also liked the food at the resort.
Hi, I enjoyed my stay. The resort and grounds are nice. The buffet food is meh but was able to find enough. The al a carte restaurants were better but tough to get reservations. They were all full even though they are only actually ~30% full when we got there. The beach is rocky unless you go down to Tulum resort. I am suffering from a lot of bites on my legs I assume were sand fleas from the beach. The entertainment was good on a couple nights, not so much on others. Nightlife is done a 11:30. No place to congregate or get drinks after that. Pay for the upgrade to use the other resorts as well or may get bored. Couple better restaurants at the other resorts. It was generally a good vacation but could use some improvements.
This was a great vacation for my family (two teen boys), everyone had a great time. Because we booked through Expedia, we had access to two other resorts, and tried all the buffets and the other pools. The beach is accessible through the other two resorts (Tulum and Akamai), and the beach was okay (it’s kind of rocky) so bring water shoes if you are beach people.
Staff was friendly and very helpful, and tried to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Pool policies that we personally loved: You cannot place towels in the morning on chairs by the pool and leave them there, which for that policy alone, I would book again. It’s so frustrating to see towels on chairs all day when people aren’t in them and other people could be enjoying spaces by the pool. This was a great policy and I hope more places adopt it.
My biggest suggestion was maybe more pool party music, there was a foam party one day and had some great music, so more fun music at the pool, but pretty minor in the scheme of things.
Overall, this was a great hotel and we would go back again.
