If you haven’t watched Unlimited Vacation Club videos about Hyatt resorts then perhaps you aren’t into extended videos with an emphasis on the benefits of being a member of this particular chain of properties.  If you have watched any of them you know they do a mixture of Spanish and English, it can be a great way to test your Spanish skills because the English portions basically repeat what they’ve just said in Spanish or add additional information about the same subject which they have been describing.

The Coba section at Bahia Principe Riviera Maya Resort is a family and budget-friendly part of this Bahia Principe megaresort.  It is located inland so if you want to get to the beach you have to take a shuttle or be prepared to walk quite a bit to get to your location.  In Dec. 2025, the resort opened its new adults-only section called Bahia Principe Grand Tequila which has 360 rooms, two pools, four restaurants (two are dinner a la cartes), and four bars onsite.  Guests of the new Tequila section have access to all common areas, bars, and restaurants at the regular Coba section, and access to the a la carte restaurants at the Grand Tulum section of this megaresort (no access to their buffet, however).

For those of you who remember when Paraiso de la Bonita used to be a Zoëtry resort, you probably recollect the upgraded section with the huge suites which were added the last several years it still was a Zoëtry property (called the Impression Club section back then)…Well, they are up and running again and waiting for you to enjoy their awesomeness!  They are now referred to as The Reserve Section of Paraiso de la Bonita; guests have full access to the entire resort which only includes around 90-100 other suites, so this is a boutique property as a whole.  This is the type of resort where individuals and couples stay on vacation in order to relax, enjoy spa treatments, and concentrate on spending time with one another if traveling as a couple.
