"I was simply amazed at how beautiful this property was. I expected it to be very expensive. However, I looked at all the hotels in the area and it was comparable and way above other motels at the same price. I’ve stayed there twice, and I will continue to stay whenever I frequent the area thank you so much. With that being said the restaurant the prices and the food were 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!"
