Older place that is still beautiful. I think they need more information when your register . They have an app in the room but who wants to bother. I also like printed receipts and they send an email. So if your traveling you have to make time to see it before you leave for accuracy.

We had a great few days at Bahia Resort. Kids loved the pool and beach access. When we arrived our room smelled musty and we asked to be moved , and staff gave us a bigger nicer room!

My family has been coming to this hotel since the 80's. We love the atmosphere and the idea that so much is available to.us. This trip.was not so good. Our 1st room was on the bottom floor and e had a trasient follow my nephew to.our room and was stalking us. The staff immediately reacted and seurity detained him until the cops arrived. The manager Heather upgraded is to th executive suite ans comped our 1st night stay which we were do grateful for! She was so apologetic and gracious! The room was nice but the fold out couch mattress was so bad you could feel the springs through it. We didn't complain because we were grateful for the upgrade. We ate at the hotel restaurant and our waitress was horrible . It took forever to get our food and then we never saw her again until i asked another waitress for our bill. Snce we were a party of 6 the tip was automatically added. She received a tip that was not deserved . Like i said, we've been coming here for years and honestly, this was our worst experience.

I travel for work and stay in a lot of hotels monthly for the past 13 years. These rooms are extremely outdated very old mildew smelling carpet. You’re paying solely for the location. We had to open our window and turn on the fan to be able to sleep comfortably with the overwhelming smell of mildew. However the property grounds are Beautiful and it’s a block away from the beach and shops. I wouldn’t stay again unless the rate was drastically lower to match the rooms value.
