Family trip
The hotel was really a great place for our family. It is within walking distance of the beach, Belmont Park, and a cool park. It is also nice because you have access to the beach on the bayside which is really nice for little ones. They can enjoy the water with the safety of no waves. The resort had a lot of nice amenities. I just wish there was a more affordable food option with young children on the grounds.

Ok for a few days.
Hotel and property is nice. The sounds from highway were extremely loud at night. The restaurant was extremely over priced for ok food. Steak was overpriced and over cooked. Not a great bourbon selection.

By the Bay at Bahia Resort Hotel
The receptionist was all business, she could be more friendly and outgoing.
The bungalow on the ground floor facing the bay was really nice. I did point out to management that we had no hot water at the bathroom sink. The shower however had plenty of hot water and pressure.
