La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I can’t possibly give this resort enough stars. Exceeds expectations with the complimentary bottle of wine and snacks in the room, motion activated lighting under bathroom counters to guide the way to the toilet at night, the low step in the shower to put your leg on to shave. The pool was fantastic, as was the Aperol Spritz. The location could not have been better. Valet parking so easy. Helpful, effective staff. Everywhere I looked there was some decorative accent impressive enough to photograph. I could hear the ocean from my pool view room. I’m leaving against my will, can’t wait to go back. When I get home I guarantee no one will greet me with a smile and glass of champagne!"

"Hotel was good for us and fairly quiet. The bed was large although rather hard. I was happy to have housekeeping every day, many hotels are moving away from that. There was just about enough parking for all the rooms although it was sometimes hard to park when large vehicles didn't park straight and made the neighboring space very small. For a busy holiday weekend when we booked late it got the job done."
