Bahia Resort Hotel

Bahia Resort Hotel

2/10 Terrible
"⭐️☆☆☆☆ | Incredibly Disappointing – A Total Waste of Time and Money Do not let the "resort" label fool you; this is nothing more than an overpriced, outdated hotel. I have absolutely no clue why people gave this place more than two stars—it is honestly impossible to understand how anyone could rate it higher. Staying here was a massive disappointment, and I deeply regret not choosing a much cheaper hotel with a pool near Mission Beach instead. Family of 6 - 2 rooms! The Bad: Outdated & Musty Rooms: The rooms are incredibly old and have a horrible, moldy odor. To make matters worse, they don't even turn on the AC before you check in, so you walk right into a hot, stagnant room. Broken AC: The air conditioning is terrible and completely stopped working in the middle of the night, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. Overpriced/No Amenities: There is no complimentary breakfast—expect to pay an arm and a leg if you want to eat here. Underwhelming "Resort" Features: The pool is completely basic and nothing special, and the "beach" is entirely useless. Safety Concerns: There is no enforced speed limit on the property. This place is vastly overrated and absolutely not worth the premium price tag. Save your money, skip the headache, and book elsewhere."
