Grand Tulum is now Explore Tulum

Hyatt and Google Maps list the hotel as Bahia Principe Explore Tulum. You may still see Grand Bahia Principe Tulum or Bahia Principe Grand Tulum on an older confirmation. These names refer to the same hotel here; keep the Tulum property selected when you book.

Where your airport ride ends

The hotel is in the Bahia Principe complex near Akumal, at highway km 250. The calculated route from Cancun Airport Terminal 3 is about 95.3 km and 1 hour 20 minutes without live traffic. It is not a drop-off in Tulum town.

Choose the right Bahia Principe reception

Several Bahia Principe hotels share the surrounding complex. A confirmation for the Akumal or Coba property is not a confirmation for the Tulum property. Send us the full hotel name if your booking document only says Bahia Principe Riviera Maya.

Family rooms and the airport ride

This is a family resort with a children’s water park and kids’ club. Count every child when choosing a vehicle. For a longer airport ride, keep medicines and anything your children will need in your carry-on, and discuss child-seat requests with us before paying.

Hotel activities and trips outside the complex

Hacienda Doña Isabel is part of the resort experience, with activities charged separately by the hotel. An outing to Tulum town is a different journey from your airport transfer. Tell us where you want to go and on which date if you need another ride.

Set up the return before departure day

Add the return to Cancun Airport when booking round trip. We need the flight and the correct hotel pickup point. The road estimate is not a recommended pickup time; departure planning must also allow for traffic and your airline’s airport procedures.

Hotel information

Explore your destination

Enjoy Akumal without disturbing its wildlife

Akumal Bay is a protected marine refuge. Choose an outing that respects the area rather than treating turtle sightings as something an operator can guarantee.

Arrange your airport arrival →

The bay and turtle observation

Before booking, ask whether the operator is authorized, which area you will visit and which rules apply that day. Do not chase, touch or feed wildlife. Follow the guide and respect marked areas.

Hotel area and village are not interchangeable

Resorts carrying the Akumal name can have different entrances along the coast. Check your exact hotel before planning a walk to the bay or village; do not use the highway as a pedestrian shortcut.

Keep the day comfortable

Take water, sun-protective clothing and a dry bag. Check the sea conditions before entering the water. Your airport transfer brings you to your selected drop-off; guides, marine activities and admission are separate arrangements.

Official information for your visit
