The location is great but the rooms are dated and the food, while good quality was very expensive. We ordered 3 extra eg
Pros:

The location is great.

Cons:

The room quality varies dramatically. We had 3 executive king bedrooms and the one in the main building was so much nicer than those in the single story building.

Was good but not as good as I thought the amenities were.
Pros:

That it had more than one restaurant to dine at & is on the bay. Nice sports center that was convenient. Nice pool & large hottub.

Cons:

room was much smaller & beds were smaller then advertised. Said we were getting two queens but was smaller. Others using cabanas early in the morning right in front of our patio when there were others available without people in the room directly in front of them. We had to go in front of domeone else room to get one & feel there was a Lack of privacy that way for all. Stated that it had electrical chargers but then charged for them & not even a reasonable amount so wasn't worth to use them. Would have cost more than the gas price depite record high prices at the time.

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.
