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.

Bahia Hotel is a beautiful resort with great rooms. Love the pool & hot tub! The location is great, a walk to the boardwalk and quick drive to Sea World & SD Zoo. Martin at the front desk was wonderful. He helped us with the best tips for the area and made it a really special stay!

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
