It is finally official, as of January 17, 2015, the beach areas have been reassigned between the Sian Ka’an and the Coba resorts at Grand Bahia Principe resort in the Riviera Maya.  Guests staying at Sian Ka’an will now be spending their beach time next to the Akumal resort’s beach (the old Coba beach), while Coba guests will now be using the Holbox beach bar and bathroom areas (the old Sian Ka’an beach).  This makes much more sense given the changes which have occurred since the Akumal resort made the switch to the Luxury Don Pablo collection.

The completion of the new infinity pool on the south side of the resort (in the area of villas 66-68) is still on hold during high season, so this area of the Akumal resort will be under construction once again come May 2015.
