Loved by Bahia Resort Hotel guests
"Loved the private sandy bay area with the cabanas."
"The private beach is easy to access within a calm bay, free of surf or boat traffic (perfect for our toddler, who's afraid of waves)."
"We had a wonderful stay at the Bahia, our room was beautiful with an amazing view of the bay."

“This resort distinguishes itself with a private beach-a rare find among San Diego hotels-and the family-friendly atmosphere extends to the on-site seal exhibit, sure to delight children. Spacious suites with full kitchens make longer stays comfortable, while themed dining adds a spark of fun to the experience. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for families seeking a relaxing coastal getaway near popular attractions.”

perfect stay
friendly staffhelpful staffgreat experienceavailable drink
the check-in experience was great because ben was very friendly and helpful. he got us checked in and even arranged a ride to our room (very helpful with luggage). i also enjoyed the drinks by the pool because jose was there. we ended up making a new drink from what was available and it was so good, we came back for more two days in a row.
the rooms lacked modern upgrades, and the overall design felt a bit outdated, especially the carpets and room doors.
Location
9/10
the resort offers convenient access to various attractions, including shopping, dining, and entertainment options within a short walk. its proximity to the water and places like sea world made exploring easy. this strategic location ensures guests can easily access local amenities and points of interest.
Facilities
8/10
the resort includes a private beach. guests have access to a hot chocolate and apple cider bar, a nice touch especially during cooler weather. the presence of ducks on the back patio adds a unique, charming element.
Rooms

the room was perfect, providing ample space for a comfortable stay. the ambiance of our suite featured a more private lanai than most. we enjoyed views of boats in the marina, shore birds, and the sky colors at sunrise and sunset.

stale airdated furniture
The hotel bills itself as a resort, a claim I find questionable. My room reeked of stale air. The dated furniture did not improve the situation. The tiny pool felt more like a large bathtub. I noticed quite a bit of wear and tear throughout the hotel, disappointing.
