"The staff was very friendly and helpful with our last-minute check-in. They communicated quickly via WhatsApp to coordinate shuttle services and provided a welcome drink ticket and free breakfast. The room was very nice, and the amenities suited our needs well. The only downside was that the bed had a little sand on it and a hair on the pillow before we got into it. It is understandable, being near a beach, but I took off one star for cleanliness because of that. Otherwise, the pool was gorgeous, with easy access to the ocean, the pier, and several other resorts, restaurants, and the market. I would stay here again!"

Blue Bahia Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The Blue Bahia is a boutique resort in Sandy Bay. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The pool is refreshing. The restaurant is excellent. The beach is less a beach and more of a road, which was disappointing, but not a deal breaker. The best part of the resort are the people who own it and their employees. Josh and Kim make sure their guests are well taken care of and make a point of checking in with you every day to make sure everything is going well. Johny, Luis, Kenya, and JoJo at the restaurant are amazing! So kind, so friendly, honestly good people. Sulema, the housekeeper, kept our room clean and well stocked with towels. They all treat you like they've known you forever, and truly care about you. Also, I can't forget our furry friends, Allie, Mia, and Pancake, the resort's canine greeters. I always miss my dogs when I'm away from them, and having a little puppy lovin' makes it easier. We truly had a lovely stay at Blue Bahia."
