Overall, a luxury hotel right on the beach in an area that doesn't typically offer luxury.
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and brand new. There is tons of character and lots of beautiful details. The rooms are comfortable, nicely decorated, spacious, and come many little goodies to take home. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and always went above and beyond to try and meet their guests expectations. The spa is lovely and has gorgeous views. Looking forward to returning to explore more of what this place has to offer.

Cons:

The sauna was not working and under construction. We had three guests on our reservation and you can only use 2 bikes for free, after that you have to pay. I think the bikes should just be complimentary in general.

lovely and peaceful stay
Pros:

I find that many hotels like to follow a monotonous kind of modern and sleek design, and while that contemporary style does tend to exude “cleanliness,” I found that La Bahia did an amazing job at incorporating that feeling of cleanliness while also having such unique and sumptuous interior design! Though tedious, as someone with OCD (specifically for contamination and orderliness), I often have 3 specific criteria for choosing a hotel: 1) bathroom and shower must be as clean as possible and the design/architecture factors into my interpretation of cleanliness as well, 2) non-carpeted/nonporous floors as I feel significantly more comfortable being able to clearly see just how clean the floor is, 3) toilet and shower/vanity area are separated at least by a door. Each criteria was met and thus I was supremely satisfied with my stay! Though the rain prevented me from truly getting to enjoy all of the hotel’s facilities, I enjoyed my stay enough to conceive of revisiting under better weather conditions. Also the hotel’s location is prime!! - And not to mention the Le Labo amenities!

We had a very nice stay at La Bahia. All of the staff were great from check in to departure
Pros:

The room was very comfortable, the room amenities were very nice. The bathroom layout was great. Tbar & restaurant were nice. Alcohol selection was limited, no Bacardi. The location was great.

Cons:

I thought valet parking was a bit high and no options on the property for general parking.

Okay, but the on site parking and dog fees were excessive.
Pros:

Location across from the water. Nice lobby, nicely appointed room, comfortable bed.

Cons:

Not dog friendly. Don’t bring your fur friends. The up charge is just sick (stay $400+ $70 city pet fee) and you can only have them in your room, on the balcony and lobby. During the winter months that is unwelcoming. And you then can’t go to the pool or gym because that can’t be in the room alone either. Up charges for parking is ridiculous.
