Spotlight On: Bahia Principe Escape Tequila

Some adult only resorts are all about peace and quiet. Others lean into lively entertainment and a social atmosphere. Bahia Principe Escape Tequila manages to strike a balance between the two. Surrounded by tropical greenery in Mexico‘s Riviera Maya, this colourful resort combines laid-back days by the pool with evenings that seriously pack a punch.

Whether you’re planning a couples escape, a holiday with friends or simply looking for somewhere that blends relaxation with a sociable atmosphere, Bahia Principe Escape Tequila is well worth a look.

A Lively Setting Near Akumal

Location has a big role to play in any holiday, and Bahia Principe Escape Tequila benefits from being close to one of Riviera Maya’s most popular coastal spots. Just a short taxi ride away, Akumal is famous for its calm waters and resident sea turtles, giving guests the opportunity to experience one of the area’s most memorable natural attractions.

Back at the hotel, it’s easy to settle into holiday mode. Tropical gardens, colourful Mexican-inspired details and vibrant surroundings create an atmosphere that feels truly welcoming from the moment you arrive. From decorative bunting to traditional touches scattered throughout the grounds, there’s a character here that helps the really resort stand out!

Pools Made for Holiday Living

At the heart of the resort sit two lagoon-style swimming pools surrounded by palms, sun loungers and plenty of space to settle in for the day. It’s the sort of setting where hours seem to disappear surprisingly quickly.

One pool features a swim-up bar, ensuring refreshments are never far away, while a built-in hot tub provides another spot to switch off between dips in the water. Whether you’re chatting with friends, stretching out with a book or simply soaking up the toasty Mexican sunshine, the atmosphere strikes a comfortable balance between lively and relaxed.

A Little Activity, A Lot of Relaxation

Some days are made for doing very little at all. Others call for something a bit more fiery. Fortunately, Bahia Principe Escape Tequila caters to both. Included activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, tennis and snorkelling make it easy to break up long afternoons by the pool. For guests looking to slow things down even further, the spa offers a quieter change of pace, complete with treatments, relaxation areas and even a refreshing cold plunge pool. Perfect for recuperating after enjoying the evening entertainment a little too much…

Flavours for Every Occasion

Let’s be honest, good food is always an important part of the all inclusive holiday you choose. Fortunately, there’s plenty of variety on offer here. Guests can choose between four restaurants, each offering something a little different. The Mexican restaurant is a particular highlight, serving local flavours in vibrant surroundings that reflect the character of the destination itself. Elsewhere, you’ll find a buffet restaurant for easy-going dining, alongside à la carte options including a smokehouse grill offering hearty barbecue dishes and a Japanese-Peruvian fusion venue.

With three à la carte dinners included each week, there’s every opportunity to mix things up throughout your stay. And when it comes to drinks, several bars around the resort ensure your cocktail glass is never empty!

Suites Designed for Switching Off

The superior junior suites provide a comfortable retreat after a day spent in the sunshine. Bright, spacious and thoughtfully designed, they offer everything needed for a relaxed stay. Private balconies or terraces create the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a quiet moment before the evening begins. Inside, you’ll find air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, a minibar filled with your favourites and a comfortable lounge area, it’s the perfect modern space to unwind in after a day in the sun.

Evenings That Bring the Resort to Life

Evenings at Bahia Principe Escape Tequila bring a more social energy, with entertainment designed to keep the fun going long after the pool towels have been packed away.
