Top hotels in Central Mission Beach
Bahia Resort Hotel
Staff was friendly and kitchen was nice but missing a sponge and wine opener. Clean room but the fires on the beach and RVs next to us put off a lot of smoke and exhaust. We will definitely stay here again but more in the center of the property.
