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.

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.

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.

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.
