Staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly attentive front desk staff is what sets this resort apart from all of the other choices on the bay. Walk in shower also a real plus for folks with challenges stepping over the edge of a bathtub like my 90 year-old mother who travels with me. The only draw back was that we stayed for 4 nights and no one came in to empty the wastebaskets, give us clean towels, or replenish the coffee machine supplies the entire time we were there.

This was our 2nd stay at the Baywatch. We love that it is newer, the rooms are clean and nicely furnished, not carpeted. The balcony view of the East Bay is amazing. Very nice and well-equipped fitness center. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. When we encountered a couple of glitches with our door lock and a broken fitness bike, both were repaired that day. We already look forward to our next stay!

Property was beautiful, rooms were very nice and new looking. Liked the little breakfast they delivered to your door in the morning. Staff was friendly and the bed was really comfortable. The only small thing that bothered me was the noise. I love the fact that there are hardwood floors throughout the property, however, I feel like it makes everything more noisy. The walls are very thin and you can hear everyone coming and going. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Great views! Kind of liked the continental boxed breakfast delivered to the room, however wish there were more options for drinks, such as a bottle of water instead of OJ.

Yes! Here's a slightly refined version for better flow: My partner and I had an amazing stay! The room and view were fantastic. We booked a balcony room, but the weather was too cold and windy....Still, we enjoyed the view from indoors. The breakfast was good, though I expected more options. Overall, the stay was wonderful, and I’d give the room and property a 10/10!
