Top Poway Hotel Reviews

Bahia Resort Hotel

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good
"Nice location, beautiful views, but somewhat older buildings. The rooms could use an update, but they were clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful any time we needed anything. The on-site restaurants and staff were actually very good, albeit somewhat expensive (but it's a resort so that's expected). The gym was very small, but worked fine for us since it was not crowded. The gym never had any hand sanitizer though and rarely had disinfecting wipes for the equipment."
