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.

I called reservations with a long list of questions regarding our stay in the 1 bedroom suite, San Diego, places within walking distance, transport, City of San Diego, etc. I was connected to Diante who was knowledgeable and so patient with me. His tips and information helped me make final plans for our family reunion at the Bahia. We had a fabulous time. One thing I neglected to ask was if the 1 bedroom suite had a/c in the bedroom. It did not. Knowing the "lay of the land, I'd love to return there. Read less

This resort was epic. The service couldn’t have been better! They were accommodating and super friendly and helpful. Walking distance to Mission Beach! Perfect location! The view of the bay was beautiful and romantic. We had a perfect view of the Sea World fireworks. Super romantic and relaxing vacation.
