La Bahia Hotel and Spa

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good
"Great snacks in room. Room service food was good. The drink at the bar didn't have much alcohol. Some others were obviously upset by the length of time and skill making their drinks. One thing that was annoying was after checkout they don't grant access to pool shower or bathroom. We wanted to rinse off after last day at beach. Also they don't rent out or provide umbrellas for beach. Other than that nice visit."
