We absolutely love this property and we will continue to stay there. However, the rooms do need updating and the prices for the Sunday brunch are over the top expensive.

We absolutely love this property. The location, accommodations and service are amazing. The only thing that it lacks is that the rooms need updating and the prices for the Sunday brunch are over the top expensive, otherwise this location gives us a great feeling and we rate it five stars.

I liked the gardens and Koi pond! The T Restaurant was very nice along with the view- Disappointed that the coffee places was closed by 2 pm and that we did not receive maid service. We were gone most of the day and did NOT have our do not disturb sign in the door. We were able to get extra face cloth and coffee for the next day. We stayed two nights. We have stayed at the Bahia a few times but preferred the Catamaran.

You won’t stay here for the rooms…
I wasn’t too fond about staying in the tower; seemed like a late 80’s apartment…including the smell. Partial ocean view room and they weren’t kidding about the partial. If I were to stay here again, it would be the ocean front room/patio or none. It was a nice resort overall with a restaurant and lots of activities. Service was good and friendly throughout. Pool was nice and clean and towels and chairs were plenty for all.
