Pros:

The minute we pulled into the valet, the great service began. The bellman was very friendly, offered information and explained how things worked in the room. We were able to check in a little early and offered a glass of champagne upon arrival. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud! We will be back.

Pros:

My husband I stayed at La Bahia for one night just a weekend getaway. It was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The moment I arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed.

The room was beautifully designed , spotlessly clean, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful details such as quiet night pillow mist ❤️ that made the stay feel special. I especially loved the view of the pool along with the beach behind it, such relaxing ambience; it was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

The hotel’s amenities were top-notch as well. Whether it was enjoying a delicious breakfast, lounging by the pool, or simply taking in the serene surroundings, everything was truly impressive.

La Bahia exceeded my expectations in every way. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, high-quality getaway.
