The views from the hotel were amazing. We could see the ocean from our room, from the pool and jacuzzi, and best of all, from the rooftop patio with warming firepits and comfy seating. The staff was friendly and attentive.

Incredible stay

Top notch hotel right across from the beach. Beautiful property, wonderful staff, the best beds and pillows and luxurious bath products. I will be back soon.

We had an excellent experience in the new hotel. Low Tide had great food and drinks, the service was super attentive, the pool, spa and room were nicely designed and at high standards.

This is the nicest hotel I have stayed at in years. Everything is top of the line, the beds are so comfortable, the views, restaurants and amenities are fantastic. The gym is incredible too!! The staff is super friendly, the turndown and lavender satchel was great! I could go on and on, but I would make a trip back just to stay here again! I highly recommend!

Two nights on the waterfront. Wonderful caring staff. Incredible hotel, so new, shiny, and fancy. Best food around, delicious coffee. Sleep on cushy plushy beds. Yes indeed a WINNER. I'll be back.

This place is beautiful! The staff is extremely professional and very friendly. The only thing I can say that’s negative is that I didn’t stay there longer. Treat yourself this place is wonderful.
Dana, 1-night trip

Nice, but expensive hotel across from Boardwalk

We had a deluxe ocean view room, but the room was so far away from the ocean, it wasn't quite worth the price. The hotel is very nice and we did get a complimentary bottle of wine, sodas, and taffy/popcorn, however it does seem over priced. Including valet parking which is $50/night. This was a one time splurge.

Don’t be spooked by the Google review

We randomly found this hotel while looking for a place to stay on our way down to Big Sur, and it turned out to be such a wonderful surprise. The view was beautiful, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The low Google Map reviews initially made me a little hesitant, but don’t be spooked by them — the hotel is VERY new so maybe that’s why, our experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The lobby and common areas are tastefully decorated, and the valet parking and EV charging options are convenient (there’s also street parking if you prefer). The Le Labo amenities were a lovely touch, and the turn down service amenities were so nice! There are cozy seating areas with views and fire pits, and we were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco upon arrival. The layout is also very convenient, with multiple access points that make coming and going easy with your room key. Lastly, a huge thank-you to the staff for going above and beyond — my dad accidentally left something behind, and they quickly found it and shipping it to our home. Truly outstanding service and hospitality!

10/10 Exceptional

Yes partially. There was a mix up with our room type, ocean view. We had booked a 1 night on hotels.com. Premium king - full ocean view. We checked in and they assigned us to a room 3rd floor with view to the swimming pool. We called and discussed it with Matthew, front desk Manager. Came back down and Matthew worked on getting us another room, #605, partial ocean view. He was very attentive, decisive and committed to make our stay memorable (celebrating my wife's birthday and our anniversary). Since we had paid more for an ocean view he compensated us with a credit on our account and a nice bottle of wine. Outstanding service and delivery.. We love this hotel, overall experience, we will be big supporters of this property and will recommend it to all our friends.

10/10 Exceptional

My husband I stayed at La Bahia for one night just a weekend getaway. It was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The moment I arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was beautifully designed , spotlessly clean, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful details such as quiet night pillow mist ❤️ that made the stay feel special. I especially loved the view of the pool along with the beach behind it, such relaxing ambience; it was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. The hotel’s amenities were top-notch as well. Whether it was enjoying a delicious breakfast, lounging by the pool, or simply taking in the serene surroundings, everything was truly impressive. La Bahia exceeded my expectations in every way. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, high-quality getaway.
