"My biggest question would be why on earth are the towels grey…? They don’t look clean even if they are, but also they don’t look like the color is intentionally chosen… they’re pale grey and look as though they just don’t get washed properly."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I can’t possibly give this resort enough stars. Exceeds expectations with the complimentary bottle of wine and snacks in the room, motion activated lighting under bathroom counters to guide the way to the toilet at night, the low step in the shower to put your leg on to shave. The pool was fantastic, as was the Aperol Spritz. The location could not have been better. Valet parking so easy. Helpful, effective staff. Everywhere I looked there was some decorative accent impressive enough to photograph. I could hear the ocean from my pool view room. I’m leaving against my will, can’t wait to go back. When I get home I guarantee no one will greet me with a smile and glass of champagne!"
