Getting to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum: what to know

  • Type All-inclusive
  • Beach Beachfront
  • Hours check-in 15:00 · check-out 12:00
  • From the airport about 98 km

Grand Bahia Principe Tulum is at km 250 on the highway.

It used to be Grand Bahia Principe Tulum. Today it is Bahia Principe Explore Tulum, an all-inclusive family hotel with a water park and a kids club.

It is the hotel in the complex that sits on the beach. It has four pools, including a lazy river and a kids pool.

It went through a full renovation in 2020 that added new superior room categories.

On arrival: It is inside the Bahia Principe Riviera Maya complex in Akumal, on the Chetumal-Cancún highway at km 250, the same address as Explore Coba and Escape Sian Ka'an. An internal shuttle runs between the hotels.

The closest property we also drive to is Aquatech Villas Derosa Resort, less than a kilometre away, and it pays the same fare: the rate goes by area, not by hotel.

FAQs about your Grand Bahia Principe Tulum transportation

How much does transportation from Cancun Airport to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum cost?

The private transfer from Cancun Airport to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum starts at $105 USD per vehicle, not per person: that rate covers your whole group, with taxes, tolls and meet & greet included. The price is locked when you book and does not change on the day of travel, not at night and not in high season. The cheapest rate is Private Transportation, for up to 8 passengers with their luggage.

How much is a round trip from the airport to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum?

Round trip — arrival and return — starts at $195 USD per vehicle, and costs less than buying two separate one-way rides. Booking both at once locks in your pickup at Grand Bahia Principe Tulum on departure day, which is exactly when you do not want to be hunting for a ride.

How long does it take from Cancun Airport to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum?

The ride from the airport to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum takes ~2h 5m in normal traffic. It is a direct trip: your driver leaves the terminal and stops at the hotel door, with no other pickups along the way. For the return we work the time backwards from your flight, adding that same ride time plus the margin your airline asks for.

Where is Grand Bahia Principe Tulum and how far is it from the airport?

Grand Bahia Principe Tulum is at Carretera Federal Chetumal, Benito Juarez Km. 250, 77760 Gran Bahía Príncipe, Q.R., México, inside the Akumal area, about ~2h 5m from Cancun International Airport (CUN) by private vehicle. We drop you at the hotel entrance, not at a stop or a meeting point.

Does Grand Bahia Principe Tulum have a shuttle from the airport?

Most hotels do not include airport transportation, and the ones that offer something usually charge for it separately or share the ride with other guests. What you book here is a private transfer to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum: a vehicle exclusive to your group, the price settled before you travel and a driver waiting with your name. If your hotel does include transport, it is worth confirming with them before booking.

What vehicles are available to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum and how many people fit?

These are the options to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum with their one-way rate: Private Transportation, up to 8 passengers, from $105 · Airport Taxi, up to 3 passengers, from $115 · Private Transportation Premium, up to 8 passengers, from $115 · Luxury Transportation, up to 5 passengers, from $230. The rate is per vehicle, so it costs the same whether two of you travel or the vehicle is full — pick by luggage room, not by seat count.

How much luggage can I bring to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum?

The largest vehicle running to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum (Small Group Transportation) takes up to 15 checked bags plus carry-ons. Strollers, coolers, boards and golf clubs are fine, but tell us the bag count when you book: we would rather send a vehicle with room to spare than one where the luggage barely fits.

Is the transfer to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum private or shared?

It is 100% private. The vehicle is yours alone and goes straight from the airport to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum: no other passengers, no dropping people off at other hotels, no waiting for a van to fill up. That is why the ride takes ~2h 5m and not twice that.

Where do I meet my driver when I land in Cancun?

Right after you clear customs, outside the terminal, holding a sign with your name. From there you head straight to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum: no counters to find, no taxi line and no need to deal with the vendors who approach you at the exit. If you cannot spot the driver, your voucher has our 24/7 phone number and we connect you on the spot.

What if my flight to Cancun is delayed?

We track your flight in real time. If it lands early or late — even if your arrival at Grand Bahia Principe Tulum shifts by hours — the pickup time adjusts by itself and your driver waits at no extra cost. Nothing to report and nothing to rebook.

Do you serve Grand Bahia Principe Tulum at night or in the early morning?

Yes, service runs 24/7 and the rate is the same at any hour: there is no night surcharge. A flight landing at 2 AM has its driver waiting all the same, and the run to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum usually takes less than ~2h 5m with an empty highway.

How far in advance should I book my transfer to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum?

Ideally 24 to 48 hours ahead: with that margin we guarantee the vehicle you picked rather than whatever is left. Last-minute bookings to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum are usually possible — call us and we confirm in minutes — but in high season the larger vehicles go first.

Do you provide child seats for the transfer to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum?

Yes, and they are free. Request them when you book and tell us the ages: the driver fits them at the terminal before pulling away, not somewhere along the highway to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum. We send the seat that matches the child's age, not a generic booster.

Can we stop at a supermarket on the way to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum?

Yes. A quick stop at a supermarket or an OXXO on the way to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum can be arranged and does not change the price — it is a normal request for guests heading to a condo or a villa. Tell us when you book so we allow for it in the ride time.

Do you also do the return from Grand Bahia Principe Tulum to the airport?

Yes. Your driver picks you up at the Grand Bahia Principe Tulum lobby at the time we agree, worked out from the ride time plus the margin your airline requires, and we reconfirm it the day before. Booking round trip from the start costs less than two separate one-way rides.

Is the price to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum the same as for the rest of the Akumal area?

Yes. Grand Bahia Principe Tulum is in the Akumal area and we charge one flat rate for that whole area, so it makes no difference exactly where the hotel sits: the price above is what you pay. And if you end up switching to another hotel in the Akumal area, the rate stays the same — just let us know so your driver has the right address.

Can I cancel or change my transfer to Grand Bahia Principe Tulum?

It depends on the rate you booked. Premium rate: cancel free up to 24 hours before your transfer and we refund the full amount. Economical rate: no refund. The full amount stays as open credit, valid for one year, for whenever you come back. Includes one change of date or time, 48 hours in advance. Either way, send the request in writing, by email, with your reservation number.
