Beautiful setting

The people at the Bahia were helpful and positive to work with whenever we talked with them.The view from our room was absolutely fabulous. It was delightful to have an immediately accessible beach that was available from every room. It was a great choice for our stay and we would visit there again.

Good location

Clean, helpful staff, free parking, convenient location. Had a complete mini kitchen! Room was across from front lobby and ony complaint would be the noise of other visitors outside, cars driving in, etc. Next time would request room in a different location.

Did the job...

Room was fine...nothing too special. I definitely got a deal since it was off season...it don't think I could pay the price they charge regularly for what I got. I wanted a king, but got 2 queens, which was fine, except the bed that i could see the TV fully sunk in and I couldn't sleep on it, so i couldn't watch TV while i was in the bed. I liked the size of the room and the kitchen was actually really a nice touch.
