I'm intrigued that you rate it so highly. I stayed at Bahia Principe in Dec 1999 and found it to be pretty average -- though certainly cheap as well. It was all-inclusive (except for alcoholic drinks, IIRC), and the food quality was mediocre as a result. I found much better value for money elsewhere in the Yucatan.
Of course, this was just over six years ago, so perhaps things have changed substantially. Has anyone stayed there recently?
