The Bahia Principe Grand Tulum resort will make its debut on November 15, following a year of renovations. 

As Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts flagship property when the brand first arrived to Mexico over 20 years ago, the Bahia Principe Grand Tulum has been transformed with a focus on Mayan culture.  

“We are proud to have reached such an important milestone in the company’s history as we prepare to unveil this special property and share its completely new concept with our guests,” explained Helen Montijano, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the U.S. and Canada. “As part of the brand’s evolution, we have reimagined all the spaces, amenities and experience to pay tribute to the rich Mayan heritage of the area, while maintaining the same principles of our brand and offering outstanding quality service. We are sure all who visit will appreciate this setting in a completely new way.”

The property is reopening with a new health and safety program developed in partnership with international consulting firm HS Consulting. 

The multifaceted program ranges from ensuring proper social distancing to health checks to increased cleaning and disinfection.
