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.

Wonderful staff and experience

Beautiful grounds and plenty of amenities, close by restaurants/attraction, and access to main roads. Every staff member I interacted with from the front desk staff (Daniel, Ben, Georgia, and new Tim) , maintenance, restaurant staff, and housekeeping (Liset) were consistently courteous, competent and responsive. I was sad when our 10 days ended.
Great guest service!

We arrived early for our reservation and inquired about leaving our bags until check in time. Ben was working the front desk and was absolutely phenomenal in getting us checked in early and giving us the complete rundown on the resort, including best places to eat, etc. Thank you so much Ben!!!

The Bahia Resort Hotel is such a beautiful hotel with lots of things to do. Very quiet and away from the madness San Diego can offer. I would like to thank Diante for his valuable customer service, he is very knowledgeable and I thank him for his professionalism.
Kid had the BEST time!!

We recently returned from another trip to the Bahia for our anniversary and once again it felt like coming home. Ben at the front desk welcomed us with a friendly face and was full of recommendations on things to do. He made us feel like family. As always, I saw Andre from Security on my early morning walks and totally enjoyed our early morning conversations and the company on my walks. Shout out to both of these employees along with the rest of the amazing staff, from housekeeping to the groundkeepers, they were all awesome! Thank you Bahia, Andre and Ben for another awesome trip!
