La Bahia Hotel and Spa
We had a really lovely stay overall. The property is beautiful and very clean, and we appreciated that most of the in-room amenities were complimentary. Our room had a great view of both the ocean and the pool, which made the experience even more relaxing. We would have liked to use the spa services ...
