We stayed at Bahia Resort Hotel for 2 nights, and it was a very disappointing experience—especially as a mom traveling with a toddler and a newborn. The room was not clean at all. There were pubic hairs on the bathroom floor, and long hairs on the bedsheets, which made the entire space feel unhygienic and uncomfortable. I expected much higher standards from a resort of this caliber, especially when traveling with small children. On top of that, the check-in process was delayed—we had to wait 45 minutes past the check-in time because the hotel was apparently fully booked and looked understaffed. With two young children, that wait was incredibly frustrating. What made it worse was the lack of care from the hotel staff. I called to report the issues after we checked out, and I was told they couldn’t do anything because we had already left. There was no sensitivity at all to the fact that I was traveling with two young kids. As a mom, you do your best in the moment to accommodate your family’s needs, which is why I waited to call until things settled down. Unfortunately, the lack of cleanliness, poor service, and dismissive attitude from staff make it very hard to recommend this hotel—especially for families.

I wasn’t thrilled to see over night/multinight campers (homeless) straight across from room. it didn’t make it feel very safe. The floor in my room probably wasn’t mopped so we used a towel to clean the floor ourselves. The maids did not clean our room as requested on the 2nd day of our stay.

The Good and the Bad

The good - We stayed here for one night after a cruise. The hotel is amazing. The private beach is gorgeous, restaurant is fabulous, staff goes above and beyond. We had a studio king bed with bay view and everything about it was great. It was a huge room - exceptionally clean and well maintained. And short walk to Belmont Park and Boardwalk. I could not have been happier with the hotel itself than I was. The bad, however, was that our amazing room with the beautiful bay view was overlooking the PUBLIC beach side of the hotel. By day, it was a great experience to sit on the balcony and look at the beach. Very peaceful. Once it got dark the entire experience changed. It started around 8;00 with a man loudly wailing Mexican music. That was followed by what sounded like a fight; lots of yelling and cursing. Not long after we heard sirens, which sounded like they stopped right under our room. That cleared up and then we heard dogs barking at each other. And then the man started "singing" again. It was unbelievably noisy until late. And once that ended, there was a lot of car noise (loud bikes and fast and furious sounding cars). We had been told there may be some "street noise" due to the location by guest services but I was not expecting this at all. Sadly, all of this foolishness on the beach is nothing that the hotel can do anything about as it's a public beach. Despite this, I would actually stay here again but would book a room that is nowhere near the public beach.

We loved the resort. The biggest issue I had was parking. We stayed at the tower in the back of the property. There is not sufficient parking for the back. I would suggest opening up the spots where the make shift construction zone is being used. It was frustrating to see wood sitting in a perfectly good parking spot. The desk was super friendly.

I absolutely love the Bahia!!! Every year we go to San Diego we stay there. Super close to walk to everything wether it's the quiet bay side or mission beach. Luigi's is a staple which is also a quick walk. Each year we stay in a different type of room... I recommend the garden side you won't be disappointed.
