I recently stayed at The Bay Hotel, and while the location is absolutely stunning, I was disappointed by several aspects of my experience. The room was spacious with a beautiful view, but the bathroom left a lot to be desired. Breakfast was chaotic and frustrating, and the overall service fell short of expectations, especially for a hotel that claims to be luxury. Unfortunately, I don't think I would choose to stay here again in the future.

My room was spacious and clean with a fantastic view, but the bathroom was small, and water temperature fluctuated during showers, which was annoying. Additionally, I found the furniture quite dated and the amenities lacking.

Service was generally poor, particularly at breakfast where it felt disorganized. I had to rally for basic items like teaspoons and often waited too long to receive assistance. The staff's responsiveness to issues also left much to be desired.

Facilities such as the pool were nice, but some aspects, like the pool temperature and the cleanliness of the public areas, could be improved. I also struggled with the lack of proper laundry bags during my stay.

I had a mixed experience at The Bay Hotel. The location was fantastic, right across from the beach and close to local restaurants. However, the service was inconsistent and there were several maintenance issues in the room. I was particularly disappointed with the lack of proactive customer service and the overall quality of the management response to my concerns. Overall, while the setting was beautiful, the hotel did not meet my expectations for a luxury stay. 🌊🤔
