I am staying at the BPT in July and was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions? Is there a workout room there? If so, do they have weights, or just cardio stuff? Also, can you elaborate on the beach and ocean? Is the beach nice? I have read reviews about it being "rocky." Can you swim out into the ocean, or are you restricted to a certain area? Thanks for any info you can offer.

We are going there May 31 and from all the research I have done and pictures seen, there is a nice stretch of beach between the Tulum and Akumal side. You will need beach shoes (purchase at Wallmart for approx. $6.00) as there are sharp rocks at the Tulum side, but at the Akumal side you can go in the ocean approx. 15 meters before you encounter any rocks. Remember, where there are rocks you will find fish, so bring your own snorkel equipment. From what I understand you can rent as well, but you are limited to 1 hour at a time. This is mainly why we picked this resort. As for workout room, there is one and most have weights high end all-inclusives have them. I one web-site that there are aerobic and body building classes, so I would say they have weights. Hope this helps. When we come back in June, I will post my report. I am looking so forward to this trip. From what I have read so far, the resort is excellent.

We are going to the Bahia Principe Tulum on Aug. 10th. This is our second time going there. It is beautiful, the service is wonderful, the food at Mama Mia's, Tequila's, and the main Buffet are great.It is like heaven on earth there!
