We visited for New Year's, and our experience was decent. However, the property felt OUTDATED both inside and out, and it didn’t match the pictures on Expedia. We noticed an unpleasant smell in our room, but the front office addressed it promptly with some air freshener. If you're looking for a more modern resort, this isn’t the place for you. We paid nearly $900 for two nights, which felt quite high for a motel-like experience. **Pros:** The location is fantastic, right by a private beach. I recommend booking a beach room. It’s also just a 5-7 minute walk to Mission Beach and Belmont Park. The resort features a heated pool and a hot tub, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. Overall, I would rate this as a below-average resort.

Bahia Resort is such a beautiful resort. We love the private beach, the seals are adorable, the dinning options are delicious, the gift shop has a little bit of everything, the staff is always so nice, walking distance to mission beach and boardwalk and honestly every room on the property is beautiful. Really love staying here!

Fireworks???
As soon as we checked into our suite a huge roach crawled out from under the mini fridge. Called front desk to notify and asked for someone to come pick it up and took over 2hrs and a second phone call for housekeeping to show up. I was only offered to waive resort fee. Second we booked Bayview suite in order to see fireworks from 2nd story balcony except our suite had multiple trees blocking the view and we had to leave resort to see fireworks. Was first time staying here will probably not book again.

The hotel staff was great. The microwave and the dishes they had for us and cleaned every day was very helpful. I left 3 stars because when Expedia tells me fees are included and upon arrival Bahia tells me that they are charging a resort fee of $50.00 a night just for parking it was disconcerting. We did not use the pool or beach area so we did not need the resort stuff but they force you to pay it. I would have booked at Marriott Residence if I had to do it over again.

Overall pretty good but nothing to write home about. Room was clean but smelled a little I think due to pets from prior visits. Bed was disappointing was expecting a nicer bed for a resort. Bathroom and sink is small. Parking was an issue when arriving late had to park far from my room. Pool and Jacuzzi very large and nice although didn’t get a chance to use them. Gift shop was nice. Grounds are nice with a stream and palm trees in middle of property and nice private beach. Overall I think a good value and would recommend if you take advantage of the amenities. They do charge extra $99 for resort fees which wasn’t aware of at booking. And they do out a $99 security deposit for every day stayed which I did not like.

The check in process was efficient however there is no bellhop service. If you don’t drive a car to the hotel/motel, plan on walking a long way to your room – dragging your luggage with you. A service was not even offered. Once in my room, my initial impression was that it was clean but dated. The carpet was faded and several tiles in the bathroom were broken. Additionally, the plumbing and heating system were loud. Prior to arrival, I had requested extra pillows and they were there waiting for me. The room was spacious and had a nice patio that looked out over the bay. That first night (Sunday, December 22nd) I ordered a sandwich from room service. On the phone, I was told that it should be there in 25-30 minutes. It took well over an hour. The mattress was hard and extremely uncomfortable. When I inquired the next morning at the front desk about a mattress topper or something they could put on it, I was told that the mattresses are new and there was nothing they could do. They said I could take some extra comforters. Not that they would have housekeeping bring some and put them on the bed, no – that I could “take” some extra and handle it myself. Also, the room where I was must have been at the exterior of the property because there was a public road and camping beach adjacent to the room. This proved to be problematic the next night. There was a camping RV parked just outside my room and the second night (Monday, December 23rd) they had a party with loud talking and la

Restaurant is excellent but rooms are old
The hotel’s ground level rooms are just old, damp, and dirty. Housekeeping does their best to clean the rooms, but the carpet & floors need to be redone. The heating & a/c system is noisy. The restaurant is excellent & the staff are friendly and helpful. We loved the Christmas cruise on the riverboat was fun.
