Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent
"A great property that is well taken care of. The staff care about the customers and the location is beautiful. It is a small hotel near the water, away from the crazy traffic, bustle of downtown, noise. We have stayed here 3 times already and will definitely stay again. A great value for the money."
