La Bahia Hotel and Spa
Love the room and was especially grateful that there wasn’t a lot of extra charges for things like in room and amenities. The only thing I would’ve liked more is if they had had more thoughtfulness on how they divided the space between the rooms as there is no privacy when you’re on your balcony
