La Bahia Hotel and Spa

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"This is a Five Star Hotel! It is in a great location for everything you need. Friendly staff, great service and they made sure you had everything you could possibly need. Rooms were above and beyond, with a wonderful view from every room. Pool and hot tub at your leisure, along with relaxing chairs and firepits. The beds where so comfortable and they had water, turned down your bed at night, plus left you a little treat, along with a bottle of wine and snacks. Breakfast was to die for; the avocado toast was amazing. I would definitely stay here again! It was such a relaxing 4-night stay we thought about extending but had to go home."
