Our stay at the Bahia Resort was filled with ups and downs. While we loved the spacious room with a beautiful view and fantastic dining at Cafe Bahia, there were notable issues like the presence of termites in our room, which forced us to leave early. Though the staff was responsive and offered a refund, the overall experience was overshadowed by cleanliness concerns. I would recommend waiting until after renovations are completed before booking.
