La Bahia Hotel and Spa

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The spotless room and excellent customer service, coupled with the hotel’s amenities, restaurants and location were absolutely magical. The fact that they are very dog friendly (treats at the front desk!) is the cherry on top. I suggest you get the beachfront balcony. It’s so worth it."
