The Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka'an on the Riviera Maya, formerly known as the Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Ka'an, is located on the Robert Trent Jones golf course of the Bahia Principe Riviera Maya, approximately 42 km from Playa del Carmen, 26 km from Tulum, and 95 km from Cancun Airport. It is reserved for adults only (18 years and older).
Guests particularly appreciate the excellent quality of the food, both at the buffets and à la carte restaurants, as well as the welcoming staff and attentive service. The impeccable cleanliness of the grounds and rooms is also frequently highlighted, along with the lush beauty of the surroundings and the pleasant swimming pools. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the beach can be rocky or have seaweed, making access to the water somewhat more difficult.

Small, quiet, ordinary resort, but far from everything.
Petit resort tranquille ordinaire mais loin de tout.
Lobby bar closed at 11:00 AM. ??????? In 45 years of traveling in the south, I have NEVER SEEN a lobby bar closed at 11:00 AM. Don't go there 10 minutes before closing time; it's just beer??? Snack bar open until 1:00 AM. The only two à la carte restaurants are OK, but the service needs improvement! You haven't even finished your appetizer before the main course arrives. You feel constant pressure; they're in a rush to serve you so you leave as quickly as possible. I had to use the cart every day to go to the other Bahia resorts. The selection of pools, beaches, sea, beach bars, etc., is much better... None of that at the Sian Ka'an. And it's the same every night. 99% of the à la carte restaurants are in the other Bahia resorts.
Lobby bar fermé à 11h. ???????
More... Less...En 45 ans de voyage dans le sud je n'ai JAMAIS VUE un lobby bar fermé à 11h. N'y allez pas 10 minutes avant la fermeture ce n'est que la bière???
Snack bar jusqu'à 1h AM. Les 2 seuls restos à la carte sont OK mais le service est à améliorer! Tu n'as pas terminé ton entrée que l'assiette principale arrive. On ressent une pression constante ils sont pressés de nous servir pour que l'on quitte au plus vite. J'ai dû utiliser le cart à tous les jours pour aller dans les autres Bahia. Choix de piscines vraiment mieux, plage, mer, beach bar, etc ... Rien de tout ça au Sian Ka'an. TOUS les soirs aussi. 99% des restaurants à la carte sont dans les autres Bahia.

Overall, a very nice week! The only downside was how difficult it was to book à la carte restaurants. The air conditioning in the room was faulty. The buffet at Sian Kah was ordinary, but the one at Akumal was truly excellent! As for the beach, one side has been developed to limit the sargassum seaweed!
En général, très belle semaine ! Bémol, très compliqué de réservé des restaurant à la carte. Air climatisé dans la chambre défaillante. Buffet au Sian Kan ordinaire mais celui du Akumal vraiment excellent! Pour la plage , un côté à été aménagé afin que les sargasses soient restreintes!

Superb experience! I recommend this place for ages 18 and up!
Superbe expérience ! Je recommande cet endroit 18 ans et plus!
I'd say I really enjoyed everything! The only annoying thing was waiting for the little train (shuttle) that takes you to the beach and the other Bahia Principe resorts. We're allowed to go to the other Bahia Principe resorts (Akumal, Tequila, Tulum, and Coba). The shuttle takes 10-12 minutes, and there are speed bumps in the streets, so you get a bit of a jostle, but most Mexican drivers are careful. If you miss the shuttle, you have to wait, and I prefer to walk and go straight to the beach. I like having that freedom. It's possible to walk to the beach, but it takes at least 30 minutes, and there's a small viaduct bridge that crosses the main road. There's no sidewalk there, and cars other than the shuttle can pass by. So, generally, you don't really have a choice but to take the shuttle. Also, when I went, all the beaches were full of sargassum seaweed except for Akumal, which is in a small bay and is shallow, teeming with fish. People feed them bread and chips (which I don't like as much). You can swim and snorkel there. There are small rocks, so for those who don't like them, you can wear water shoes. The other Bahia Principe (18+) is the Tequila, but it's more of a party spot. And at Sian Ka'an, it's quieter, the staff is truly amazing, it's intimate, like a little jungle. I highly recommend this place unless you want to be close to the beach.
Je dirai que j ai vraiment tout apprécié! Le seul irritant a ete d attendre apres le petit train ( navette) qui nous apporte a la plage et dans les autres Bahia Principe. Car nous avons le droit d aller dans les autres Bahia principe ( akumal, tequilla, tulum et coba). La navette est de 10-12 minutes et il y a des dos d anes dans les rues donc, on se fait un peu brasser les fesses et le dos disons mais la plupart des conducteurs mexicains font attention. Si tu manques la navette, tu dois attendre et moi je suis plutot marche et me rendre directement a la plage. J aime avoir cette liberte. Il est possible de se rendre a la plage a pied mais c est minimum 30 minutes et il y a un petit pont viaduc qui traverse la grande route. Il n y a pas de trottoir a cet endroit et des autos autre que la navette peuvent passer par la. Donc en général, pas vraiment le choix de prendre la navette. Aussi, au moment ou je suis allee, toutes les plages etaient pleines de sargasses a part celle du Akumal qui est dans une petite baie et c est peu profond, pleins de poissons. Des personnes les nourrissent avec du pain et des chips( ca j aime moins). On peut se baigner et faire de la plongee en apnée a cet endroit. Il y a des petites roches donc pour ceux qui n aiment pas, vous pouvez mettre des souliers d eau.
More... Less...L autre Bahia principe 18 et plus est le tequilla mais plus de party. Et au Sian K an , c est plus tranquille, le personnel est vraiment wow, c est intime, une petite jungle. Je recommande vraiment cet endroit a moins que vous voulez etre proche de la plage.

Quiet hotel for resting
Hôtel tranquille pour se reposer
Sian Ka'an is the quietest of the five. It provides access to Akumal, Tequila, Coba, and Tulum. The trains are a pleasant way to travel between the resorts and run regularly. The food at the à la carte restaurants is excellent. Akumal's beach is clean and cleared of the sargassum seaweed; there are tons of fish, but the water is currently low.
Le Sian Ka' an est le plus tranquille des 5. Il donne accès au Akumal, Tequila, Coba et Tulum. Les trains sont agréables pour se déplacer d' un resort à l' autre et passent régulièrement. On mange tellement bien dans les restaurants à la carte. La plage du Akumal est propre et nettoyé des nombreuses Sargasses, il y a énormément de poissons mais l' eau est présentement basse.
