A very enjoyable stay with a beautiful beachfront location, friendly staff, and relaxing resort atm.
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Bahia Resort Hotel. We loved the beautiful beachfront location, easy access to the beach, and the relaxed resort atmosphere. The staff were generally very friendly and welcoming. We especially appreciated the complimentary room upgrade offered by the reception lady at check-in—it was a very nice gesture. Overall, we really liked the location, the beach, and the pleasant vibe of the resort.

Cons:

The main area that could be improved is the cleanliness of the rooms, especially the bathrooms, which was average during our stay. Also, since this is a beach resort, the carpeted floors can easily collect sand brought in from the beach. Replacing the carpets with easy-to-clean flooring would make the rooms more practical and easier to maintain. Overall, these were minor issues, as we otherwise enjoyed our stay.

Pros:

The location of the resort is beautiful because it’s on the bay, that is probably the only thing that I liked.

Cons:

The resort is pretty however the rooms are extremely old and outdated. The carpets are old. They smelled the room smelled like an old closet , the carpets were stained. The couches were also dirty, dingy falling apart. Some of the rooms don’t have AC.! for the price that I paid. It’s totally not worth it. 2 nights $1550!

Very enjoyable stay overall. Location great.
Pros:

Bay view, room size, greet pool and outdoor jacuzzi.

Cons:

No courtesy room or shower for changing in.
Accommodation a little run down.
Wet carpet and constant dripping onto balcony due to aircon unit condensation from above room was strange and “normal” when I raised it to staff.

Super Lage, toller Pool
Pros:

Super Lage, wir hatten ein Apartment direkt am Wasser. Zwei Kochplatten vorhanden. Sehr freundliches Personal. Toller Pool.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war gefühlt sehr feucht. Bettdecke war teils klamm und es hat auch modrig gerochen. Wir haben versucht die Feuchtigkeit über die Klima zu regulieren, hat aber leider nicht wirklich funktioniert.

Not worth the price we paid
Pros:

Access to the beach bayside

Cons:

I had stayed at this resort approximately 40 years ago. I remember it being great. It feels like the room we were in was dated, especially the bathroom. For being a suite, we expected more than just a microwave.

Si salvano solo i servizi esterni alla camera
Pros:

La zona piscina con jacuzzi calda, i ristoranti all'interno, l'attività sul battello della Bahia Belle, gli spazi esterni, le aree comuni e la gentilezza del personale.

Cons:

La stanza non è per niente quella vista in foto al momento della prenotazione. Ci aspettavamo un patio con due sdraio fuori nel giardino "privato" e una delimitazione con aiuole. Invece le stanze a piano terra erano su strada con transito di macchine dei clienti della struttura, con due sedie al posto delle sdraio e ovviamente senza delimitazione di aiuole per la privacy. Abbiamo quindi deciso di passare in una stanza al terzo piano con balcone arrendendoci al godimento dell'inesistente giardino e perdendo tutto il fascino della stanza e del soggiorno che avevamo pianificato. La stanza inoltre era molto umida, il condizionatore rumoroso, moquette polverosa, e balcone con infissi datati. Il bagno era striminzito. Stanza da dimenticare decisamente. Per quanto è stato pagato il soggiorno non si meritano voto più alto.

Pros:

Resort molto bello sulla spiaggia privata, bella per prendere il sole ma non per il bagno considerando che c’è un porticciolo turistico. La spiaggia pubblica più vicina è a 2 minuti di auto.
Camere molto belle direttamente sulla spiaggia, ma risentivano un po’ dell’umidità della zona.
Comodi i bar e i ristoranti nella struttura.
Lettino sulla spiaggia e in piscina a disposizione degli ospiti.
Posizione molto comoda, vicina a mission beach e a Seaworld

Cons:

Il servizio di pulizia e riordino della camera e’ gratuito ma su richiesta.
