Bahia Resort Hotel

San Diego, California

Virgin rating

The hotel

There's a real resort feel to this Mission Bay hotel. On a 14-acre peninsula, the views are quite something, and you’re just steps from the the calm bay waters. Head to the white sandy beach and grab yourself a beach cabana or take a stroll through the lush tropical gardens. The pool is a great spot too and the huge hot tub is just the ticket on a cooler evening. Don't miss an evening cruise around the bay on the Bahia Belle paddle steamer — there’s drinks, live entertainment and views galore.

We stayed at this resort for one night and thoroughly enjoyed it! Sand in our toes right outside our room, and the cutest little circle shaped lounge bed you could imagine! We watched the sunset and went out for an evening concert to see Andrea Boccelli! Ben Curry at the front desk was friendly, warm and exceeded our expectations with a fabulous room! We ate at the restaurant and Ethan was a great server, as was Jessica and her sweet disposition and attention. Lots to do and we will come back another time and stay longer! Read less

I called The Bahia hotel phone line to figure out a plan on where to park and what time was check in on our trip among other questions. Marcelis really helped me answer every single question. He recommended which hotel room had the best view and easiest with 2 kids and a dog. Thanks bro! Appreciate you!

Just finished making my reservation. As I am not computer savvy, I called the hotel directly and was lucky enough to be greeted by Renee Stauffer on the line. She made it so easy for me to figure out the type of room I needed to book for my stay. She was cheerful and knowledgeable. Thank you so much Renee, can't wait to get there!!
