We had such a wonderful time at The Bay Hotel. Upon check-in, concierge was kind enough to walk us through our cabana, ensuring we were comfortable. The room smelled amazing and was super clean. We enjoyed wine on the patio and enjoyed a few sunsets from it. The bar on site was lovely for a warm and cozy nightcap. Security always present on site by the entrance which was great. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wrong room , twice the price.
We had stayed here a few nights before this and our stay was amazing. However, over the weekend someone dropped the ball. I was given the wrong room( a worse room than I had originally booked).It was akin to a staff room. When expressing my grievance it seemed like no one knew what was going on. The next day i was given my correct room but then charged for it , having already paid for my room before arrival. The management tried their best to assist and have me a meal voucher as recompense but I was very unhappy with how everything unfolded.

This hotel is beautiful set in such a central location. We had a cabana pool room which led out onto a small patio and then the small front pools. The room was well equipped and kept immaculate by the daily housekeepers. The bell staff were more than helpful . Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choices and the pool waiting staff amazing - nothing was too much trouble We will definitely return. We had an issue when we arrived but I don’t think that was the hotels fault more the central reservations team so I won’t hold it against the hotel as they more than made up for it
