The room was well worn, especially the bathroom. Room was as expected. Cleaning staff did a good job daily. Buffet restaurant at the Turquesa was much better than expected. Biggest disappointment was with the a-la-cart dining. We had 4 dinners during our stay and the food overall would rates well below average. Good temperature (not hot) and being overlooked were the biggest negatives on the food side but my biggest issue was the complete lack of regard for the posted guidelines for dress. Ratty shorts, flip flops, swim suits under a nearly non existence cover up were normal and the guideline called for slacks and closed shoes. One even required formal attire in the reservation combination but shorts and muscle shirts were allowed. Very disappointed! Staff at these restaurants were generally pleasant and attentive but the food at the buffet was at least as good. Pools and bar staff were very good. Hard to find a spot at the beach pool as reserved chairs were often reserved? The evening before! Although there are signs everywhere saying this isn’t allowed. I would return but with lower expectations!

Very outdated, starting with the 24 inch Tvs in the room. Multiple resorts share the same beach front, which is way crowded, and beach chairs that are occupied by a towel or a pair of flip flops with no actual people using them in sight. Same thing with the swimming pool. Very limited dining options, only allowed 1 reservation for 3 days, leaving you with nothing but the same buffet for the rest of every meal.

The state of the bathroom is just unacceptable. It was so gross I had to shower in my water shoes. The mattress was so hard, I’m so achy and will need to book a massage once I landed back home. The day before we left, there wasn’t any hot water & at this point I was just ready to go. Woke up today to get ready for the airport, still no hot water. There were other things but it doesn’t matter. I know I will never be staying at another Bahia. I know better & should have gone for a Hilton or Marriott property. And what decade are we in that I needed to physically go back to the counter to check out.

This resort was clean, had friendly staff and we had an overall good experience. Only downside was, depending on which hotel you stayed at within the resort, you only had 1 buffet option to eat all for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Beds were supper uncomfortable and tv only speaks Spanish with 2 channels. Otherwise, good experience

I want to give a huge shout-out to the staff at this resort. They were absolutely amazing, so energetic, always smiling, dancing, and genuinely helpful. You could really feel their positive energy everywhere. The cleanliness of the resort truly stood out. Everywhere we looked, someone was cleaning or fixing something. The bathrooms near the pools, close to the beach, and throughout the resort were always spotless. This is especially impressive considering how many guests there were and how large the resort is. We stayed at Turquesa, and I just want to add a small heads up for anyone with mobility issues. The buildings do not have elevators, only stairs, although there are rooms available on the ground floor. It is not an issue if you are comfortable walking, but it is something good to know in advance. The room itself was comfortable, and the bed was great. That said, the room is a bit outdated, and you can clearly see that some things could be refreshed or fixed. However, this did not bother us at all. It was a minor detail and did not affect our stay in any way. Speaking of size, the resort is huge, but there is always something to do. We spent New Year’s Eve there, and the celebration was incredible. It was a huge party and so much fun. The only small downside was the VIP area, which felt a bit too exclusive. It did not bother me much, but I do think it could have been more equal so everyone could enjoy the experience the same way. Still, it was not a big deal overall.

What truly stood out was the overall sense of care and organisation throughout the resort. The staff were consistently warm, professional, and attentive, always willing to help and quick to resolve any issues, which made the experience feel personalised rather than generic. The room was spotless and well maintained, with daily housekeeping that ensured a comfortable and relaxing space to return to. The amenities were a major highlight, from the well-kept pools and beach access to the wide variety of food options that catered to different tastes. The resort’s layout, entertainment, and family-friendly atmosphere created an enjoyable balance between relaxation and activity, making the stay both memorable and stress-free.
