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.

Getaway and Detox

My suggestions to the local UAE residents. This is a very good Getaway over weekends or Public Holidays. What makes it greater than other places is the Customer Service that Mr. Iftekar the Regional GM has trained the staff regard and respect for customers.

You have people like Teddy the restaurant manager and he is always to go a step beyond. We had some slight health issues and just casually mentioned it and lo and behold in 25 minutes he got special food delivered to the room without even having asked for.
Great regard for Chef Jayanta and Khalid F & B Captain.
They just pamper you.

Reservations

I have been very pleased with the service at Bahia. In particular, Diante at reservations was incredibly helpful. He was very patient in answering all of my questions and helping me reserve just the right rooms for our family. Diante was professional and kind. I appreciate his effort to secure our reservation.
One of the best family vacations ever.

Love the resort. Beautifully landscaped. Walking distance to ocean for most. Great food, reasonable prices and very close. Would recommend resort to all.

Pleasantly surprised - it wasn’t cheap, but was only rated 3 star…..the room was very spacious (3 double beds) and it had a lovely view over the beach. Room service was good and we liked the breakfast van, although we could eat breakfast in our room some days as we had a small kitchenette. The beach was rarely too busy and we always got a chair no matter what time we arrived. The pool was refreshing and busy at times, but great for a dip. Overall we loved this hotel as a base for exploring.
