Liked the rooms, cleanliness and area. Bit disappointed after booking cabana room that the pool was being re plastered- couldn't sit outside due to chemical smell of Resin/paint. Wish we’d had been told. Amazing breakfast.

The kind staff was very appreciated. My beautiful room was to die for. I had a wonderful view of the pool and ocean. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and the staff made me feel like I was at home. The free breakfast was an excellent addition. I can’t wait to come back with family and friends!

We had such a wonderful time at The Bay Hotel. Upon check-in, concierge was kind enough to walk us through our cabana, ensuring we were comfortable. The room smelled amazing and was super clean. We enjoyed wine on the patio and enjoyed a few sunsets from it. The bar on site was lovely for a warm and cozy nightcap. Security always present on site by the entrance which was great. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wrong room , twice the price.
We had stayed here a few nights before this and our stay was amazing. However, over the weekend someone dropped the ball. I was given the wrong room( a worse room than I had originally booked).It was akin to a staff room. When expressing my grievance it seemed like no one knew what was going on. The next day i was given my correct room but then charged for it , having already paid for my room before arrival. The management tried their best to assist and have me a meal voucher as recompense but I was very unhappy with how everything unfolded.

Staff was amazing! We booked two rooms (family of four) and they allowed us to change to a family suite. The staff was amazing! The hotel is beautiful. Breakfast is excellent. We used the hotel driver, great service in amazing vehicles. We felt safe inside and around the property. Definitely recommend for families with kids. Plenty of pools and rooms with pool access.

Liked: Amenities
This hotel is beautiful set in such a central location. We had a cabana pool room which led out onto a small patio and then the small front pools. The room was well equipped and kept immaculate by the daily housekeepers. The bell staff were more than helpful . Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choices and the pool waiting staff amazing - nothing was too much trouble We will definitely return. We had an issue when we arrived but I don’t think that was the hotels fault more the central reservations team so I won’t hold it against the hotel as they more than made up for it
