Having the patio and the beach right outside our room was incredible!

We got there 3 hours early and Ben Tristan got us to our room right away and even upgraded us to a bay view.

Pool was nice and the fire pits on marina side are a great feature/experience.

The beach views - from the meeting room, from the rooms, from the restaurant, from the private beach - all outstanding.

Ethan B. was our sever at the "Dockside 1953" restaurant at the Bahia Resort Hotel in Mission Bay.

It's conveniently close to the beach, SeaWorld, and many other local attractions.

The proximity to the beach and local amenities made the stay even better.

On our down time, from the pool, the food at the Dockside 1953, the bar, the beach with the cabana's, the friendliest staff, we will always recommend Bahia to anyone looking for a place to stay in Mission Bay San Diego.

The good - single story, parking outside your door, beach access, pool across the way.

Neat rooms, delecious food, beautiful beaches and a lot of opportunity to relax and socialize.

We were in town for a triathlon, and this allowed us ample time to get our bikes unpacked and set up, as well as get a quick familiarization swim done in the bay.

There is a nice pool and a private beach,  overall a lovely stay

She made our stay absolutely amazing by placing us in a beautiful, beach front room!

We traveled all morning from the Bay Area in hopes for an early check in.

Bahia Belle evening bay cruise was a fun event.

I planned a bay day at the Bahia for my 40th birthday and I needed a specific type of room.

The rooms are nice, the pool and hot tub are exceptional and the private beach is a great feature.

You have immediate private beach access to the bay and a quick walk to the ocean beach.

There are great walking paths along the ocean and beach that get you to great views, restaurants and coffee.

but also gave us a upgrade to a  balcony  room with nice view of the bay.

The view of Seaworld fireworks is spectacular and the view of the ocean/ bay is beautiful. !

The ceremony site (we picked the pond/garden/gazebo) was stunning and the reception hall overlooking the bay and palm trees was so magical, we barely needed any extra decor as the garden and views were beautiful already!

We overlooked the bay, and our kids were able to walk right out the sliding door onto the beach.

Stayed in room 493, highly recommend it…great view of the bay, a balcony, large room with a king bed, pull out couch (unexpected

We stayed in the building across from the lobby with a bay view.

Notes: there’s a big difference in view between bay view and bay front rooms.

I called back a couple of times with questions and each time he was just as kind and accommodating and reassuring that we would have the second-floor rooms with a view of the bay.

we ended up upgrading at a great fee and had the most gorgeous room with the most beautiful view of the bay!

but hearing that it was our kids’ first trip to see the ocean, he upgraded our room to a bay view.

The hotel is located right on Mission Bay and the views were breathtaking.

We loved seeing the seals everyday, the pool was super clean and heated, outdoor amenities were always out and available, the room was comfortable (could use a little updating) and our view from the Bay Front room was dreamy.

We had a wonderful stay in Dec 2022 at the Bahia Resort Hotel. Diante helped us once again secure the perfect room with exceptional views of the mountains, bay and ocean ( I know- how is that possible?)

The gorgeous views of the bay, the beachy yet modern look of the room, nice gym, great pool all made my time here very special!

Walkable to Mission Bay Beach and Pacific Ocean.

Close to Belmont Park, great restaurants, rent boats or relax by a bonfire set up by the hotel.

My husband and I booked a last minute weekend get away to the Bahia to look at a boat in San Diego.

We arrived hours before check in time and he went out of his way to put a rush on getting us a beautiful room with view of the  water and boats !

The Bahia Belle boat ride, crafts for the kids, snack trailer, seals, and ducks made it quite memorable.

One of our 4 seater bikes had a flat, and since there wasn't another one, they kindly set us up with electric boats and we had just as much fun, if not more, on those!

The kids loved the seals and the ride on the Bahia Belle was great as we watched the sunset on the boat.

I also rented paddleboards and boats several times from the convenient on site rental location and we enjoyed the hotel bay cruise one evening.

We had our ceremony on the beach and reception on the William D Evans boat and that was an incredibly unique experience
-They offer a lot in their packages for a decent(ish) price
-Luckily lots of positive feedback from our guests,

We enjoyed an evening out on the Bahia Belle, which is a 45 minute ride on the local boat (50 Ton boat).

My son loved the view of the water and boats.

Boat tour Crew: Captain Anthony, Senior deckhand Kyle, Deckhands Josh and Alejandro,   and last-

In fact,  I had a boat in the Marina for many years as well.

It was fun sitting on our little patio to watch the boats on the beautiful Mission Bay and the lights at night were gorgeous.

The boat ride that’s available is awesome.

Lastly, it is easy to rent boats from the hotel or take bicycles from the hotel around the bay.

10) Private beach has an oily slick on the surface because boats dock in it.

We loved walking around and exploring, we decided to take the boat ride they have to offer and are so glad we did!

The hotel is set in a pretty location in mission bay and has a steam boat that you can go on for $10/pp.

but they need to get rid of the carpet in the rooms.

but still I wouldn’t walk on the carpet barefoot. 2.

Upon arriving in our room we opened the door to find debris on the entryway floor, a rubber band and stick at the end of the bed on the carpet, a bug in the refrigerator, the microwave had food splattered all over in it and the smell was so bad my 9-year-old immediately closed it.

Very old carpet that could definitely use a shampoo at minimum.

but dated with some updates (tv, wifi) but other dated items (sunbeds, sofa, carpet).

I told him I was going to my 50th high school reunion and hadn’t travelled by myself in a very long time and he really rolled out the red carpet!

The suite was not very clean: the carpet in the suite is old, has stains due to the sand, etc.

5) Carpet turned our feet black immediately after taking a shower or wiping our feet clean.

More like a 2 star Motel with old carpet, coffee makers that don’t work, slow delivery service, and no AC in the bedrooms of their “suites.” 

The good: great location to walk to the beach and go on rides if that’s your thing.

Overall the property is old, very tired, could definitely do with some paint, new carpet, and updating.

We were never offered another room due to the filthy carpet.

though we take shoes off on carpets the sand just manages to get everywhere.

We are in a tower obviously and the carpet in the hallway is stained and smells.

Therefore, the carpet was accumulating all the moist from the water which explain the mold disgusting smell inside on the whole place.

The restaurant staff basically rolled out the red carpet for my friends and I. Although it was chilly outside, we sat on the patio, around a gas fire pit and near the fireplace, so we couldn't even feel the San Diego "cold."

I have two small children, so the door had to stay closed the entire weekend.

Namely, the sliding glass doors are old and don't slide well or block out sounds and the A/C units constantly drip from one floor to the next.

but definitely the noisy side of the property with a very busy public beach access road right out your patio door.

It appears to be the original sliding door from when the building was built.

There was a water damage mark (large) on the ceiling of my room and the sliding glass door to the balcony was so hard to open.

We had two rooms - one was very musty and we had to leave the slider and front door open to air it out.

Our bathroom door had some additional artwork in green crayon (made me smile tho.

On our last night there we were awakened at 1 am with knocking on our door ..

But once I opened the balcony doors my excitement level went down unfortunately.

We got lost and had a hard time locating the building we were in, he took the golfcart to locate my family and drove us directly to our door.

The patio door was covered with handprints, so it had not been cleaned.

My only complaints are the walls are too thin so you hear your neighbors slamming the doors, as there is no way for them to close gently.

Our first night the room next door had left their barking dog alone for 3 hours and when we advised the front desk, they handled and gave us a resort fee refund.

and then have someone come by and leave a couple of bottles of water at my door, a little bag of some signature snack? something.

but when we opened the doors the air conditioners were not working and both needed to be replaced.

but there were events at the beach most of the nights.. we were in building 600 which is not that close to the beach but we can hear the music from the events crystal clear as though the event was next door.

Small dark, on the ground floor with the doors opening onto the road directly opposite the reception.

We had ants in the bathroom every morning; the toilet paper holder came apart and we were unable to reassemble it without tools; blackout curtain over the patio door had holes, patio door was unlocked when we checked in; patio door was difficult to latch as the latch was bent and only had one very old lounge chair; the coffee pot did not work; and the safe did not lock after repeated attempts.

The door definitely needs to be replaced.

I've been to the Bahia many times - heading there again in March and wanted to give a 5 star review to the staff who helped me make plans for our family trip - Sam and Diante were incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

The most amazing person friendly empathetic.

Martin at the front desk was amazing:) He accommodated a last minute change for us without hesitation and was very friendly.

He was friendly and even upgraded our room.

Everyone is incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient.

Ben and Stacy (front desk staff) were very friendly and welcoming.

Very friendly and knowledgeable, and willing to give us as much time as we needed with our questions.

The resort is lovely and the staff exceptionally helpful & friendly.

Friendly, Clean, Beautiful, Fast, Accommodating!!!

He greeted my husband and I at the front desk with a friendly smile, told us what type of room to book and even guided me as to what to ask for over the phone while I spoke with reservations.

Martin at the front desk and all of the other staff were very friendly and helpful.

Renee was so friendly and knowledgeable helping us out with some details regarding our Bahia reservations.

The staff was very friendly and had fun activities that encouraged our exploration of the resort.

All of the staff were friendly and polite.

The hotel was amazing and the staff is so friendly.

I have moved across country with five children because of domestic violence situation.

There is so much to do in the area it is great for kids and families.

Ocean and kids amusement area on Mission Beach is just a few minutes walk.

I want to thank Karina, Anastasia, and Mr.Tim at the front desk for going above and beyond to make sure my son and I were comfortable and had everything we needed, all with great professionalism!!

Thank you Bahia and Karina will be back with the kids next summer

The room was clean, huge, and very comfortable for feeding kids with celiac and having a babysitter with us the second night.

I am so happy to bring our two girls here in two weeks!

Plenty of families and kids at this resort.

Out of our very large group of 15 only 4 of us (me, husband and daughters) stayed at the resort

The boys liked watching the seals as well as running through the grounds.

We stayed at the Bahia Resort for 3 nights with our two young daughters (4 and 1.5).

Martin the daily activity team member was lovely and great with the kids activities.

Just busy enough for my kids to play with other kids.

The Bahia is a great place for families with children who love the beach and pool.

Loved the playground on site for my kids and the bay was clean and set up everymorning .

Aside from all of this, my kids did have fun playing on the sand and in the ocean.

Due to the severe weather conditions of hurricane Hilary, I had to leave a day early for the safety of my 5 & 11 year old daughters.

The rooms are very tired, outdated, and dirty.

The rooms need updating and better lighting.

The room felt dirty and outdated, insulation was terrible, we could hear the people above us constantly running around so sleep wasn’t an option.

They do have a clock radio next to the bed that has ports to charge your cell phone so that was a nice update to the room.

While some of the furniture & flooring could use some updating, the rooms, bathroom, and common areas were clean.

but probably hadn’t been updated since 1975.

The room was on the bottom floor ( which is what I requested .. traveling with small dog) of four story building … the website said recently renovated

Our accommodation was a bay view deluxe suite, it was really in need of updating, the kitchenette was in poor condition, the oven  was not good, and the microwave didn’t work.

The facilities are quite outdated, and the resort is very overpriced for what you get.

It was difficult to get updates on where it was out and how to get it back.

While our room was recently remodeled,the rest of the resort is still 1953.The pool is a typical rectangle from that era.No slides,waterfalls,or swim up bar.It was filled with screaming kids and no lounge chairs available.They had a makeshift snack bar with very limited items and a guy flipping $17 burgers on a Weber grill.

The restaurant and food was great   I would certainly recommend

The hospitality continued at the bar, at the restaurant and across the entire property.

The food is good, fresh and the customer service is also great.

Doskside restaurant gave us blankets in a chilly evening.

The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious and has some great variety.

The hotel is very conveniently located--so many restaurants within an easy walk.

Benjamin at the front desk checked us in early and gave us tons of options and recommendations to fun entertainment and food.

We ate in the restaurant and food was great.

My check in with Karina was awesome as she saw we were there for our HM and upgraded us to a suite on the water and gave us a good Mexican restaurant recommendations.

The waiting staff in the restaurant were very kind, special mention to Jean.

The resort is so beautiful and in the best location to many sights 
All the workers couldn’t be nicer and accommodating 
The food is also delicious 
We would definitely return in our next visit 
Family of 4 ❤️ you made our trip memorable

Dockside 1953 has good food with pricing about $20-$30pp.

Our trip was lovely the room was very beautiful.

Upgraded our stay on my 70 birthday and made us feel super special   Our room was very clean and spacious on the sand…fabulous.

I was booking 5 rooms for various family members so it was pretty complicated and had to make sure all families got the rooms they wanted.

Very helpful when making my selection of rooms and very polite and knowledgeable.

The room location is gorgeous and the hotel amenities are fantastic!

The room we got was soooo amazing, it deserves it's own review.

Rooms were large and I was happy to find that washable dishes/flatware were supplied, along with the mini fridge and microwave.

When we got to our room, we were able to do everything we needed.

The room was clean, well-maintained, and provided all the amenities I needed for a perfect stay.

He was so nice to us got us a room near our family, our checkout was at 4pm we got here at 8am so he let us check in earlier he’s extremely great at what he does and for sure deserves a raise he even told us where everything is at and helped us find our room.

Diante, at the reservatiions , was patient and clearly explained our room options for the stay.

He took time to research rooms hotel needs and answer all my questions.

Additionally he upgraded my room to a beautiful suite complimentary.

Once we got to the room, the room smelled musty and moldy.

It was a cross between dog pee and mildew.

(and since the AC didn't really work everything in the room got sort of damp--I noticed this when we got home and I was unpacking our suitcase--everything was just a little damp! San Diego was particularly warm and humid during our stay,

We initially had a garden room, and when we arrived it was a very dated, dark, damp room with an unpleasant aroma.

The resort in it self is very old, run down where our toilet seat was broken, the room smelled like mildew which gave us all headaches, bathroom sink was very shallow and every time you washed your hands there was water everywhere.

I used bleach on the bathtub and got the grime marks off of there.

Our room had an odor that didn't seem to go away, again upgrades are needed.

The only downside to the room was that our bathroom sink didn’t drain unless you held it open, other than that the room was perfect!

We had a bit of a hiccup with rooms - the first one smelled very musty and the pull out bed/cots were not comfortable for our kids so we wound up getting air mattresses for them -

Instead she gave my husband a very nasty attitude in return.

but reminisce about the feeling I got as a kid, smelling bacon, or any another cuisine being prepared, wafting from the kitchen.

The sink smelled like sulfur so bad that we had to brush our teeth with bottled water.

Room was very warm and musty upon our arrival .. a/c did not cool room sufficiently.. asked front desk if they have fans for air circulation.. they do not!

Also, the people staying below us brought 2 bbqs and were cooking up a storm under us so all we smelled was their food for hours.

My wife got a robe from the wardrobe, that had been hung and tied the same as the other one, it had 7 brown stains all over the front of it, disgusting!

The room was smelly there and the grounds were dark and musky feeling.

The ‘fitness center’ seemed to be a converted storage room-most home gyms have better equipment.Our room was in the back of the resort and instead of walking through lush tropical paths, we had to walk through a cigarette

Ben at the front desk was so personable and welcoming.

Anastasia and Benjamin were outstanding at the front desk.

but he was extremely polite and courteous to me.

Karina and Tim at the front desk were extremely accommodating.

Diante was extremely helpful in our booking - He expertly advised me on the details of our booking and went above and beyond in his excellent service!

Kudos to Ben for going above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

The staff is responsive and full of happy personality.

The hotel staff Tristan and Ben were fantastic.

Armando Hernandez was exceptionally helpful and informative.

DIante I give 5 stars for excellent service great individual and very helpful.

Tristan at the front desk was extremely helpful.

This is a quiet, tranquil, beautiful facility on the Island of Mission Bay.

The location was excellent - easy access to beaches and beach combing.

The resort is beautifully situated on the bay and we didn't leave all weekend.

Enjoy the Barefoot Bar live entertainment , stroll the shore line of the bay.

They have a wide selection of watercraft, from paddleboards all the way up to pontoon boats and 22-foot sailboats, and Mission Bay is an excellent for an enjoyable, safe jaunt on the water.

A relaxing, beautiful time right on the beach.
