10/10 Excellent
"Came for girlfriend's birthday and was one of the best stays we have ever had. Room was beautiful and clean, property was gorgeous, staff was very kind and helpful, and the dining options on-site were amazing snd surprisingly affordable. My personal favorite aspect was easily Beginner's diner's banana pudding French toast. As a diner and French toast fan, it was exactly what I was looking for. Make sure to get to the pool early to get a chair if thats your plan for the day. Check-in and check-out was incredibly easy and stress-free. Highly recommend for any occasion or just a simple overnight stay!"
"This hotel experience was exceptional because of the staff (thanks Pamela!) and care they took to ensure our stay was the best possible. I was there for Comic-Con and through the chaos we had a shuttle that ran every 15-20 minutes, a room with comfortable pillows and a view of the pool, reasonable parking and really great coffee. The room was fine, older but comfortable. My one complaint is the coffee was not great and no fresh half and half! But other than that, I was beyond impressed with the staff and the experience. "
"Bahia Resort is a beautiful property that has been maintained well! It has its dated areas but it didn't feel old as it was clean and kept looking nice! The pool and beach areas were beautiful! "
"Our three night stay at the Kings Inn for our family of four was perfect. The property is within a short driving distance to many attractions. The staff was friendly, our room was clean and our kids enjoyed the pool. "
