La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at La Bahia for 3 nights and had a great experience! The rooms were comfortable, clean, and cozy, and the location is amazing with direct access to the beach. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and very helpful. The only disappointment was the food from in-room dining and at Low Tide resturant, we really didn’t enjoy it, although the staff was very nice. High Tide restaurant, on the other hand, was excellent, with delicious food and great service and great view. Overall, a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back!"
