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.

Noisy- heater turning on woke us up every time it came on, bedroom near where people park. First night we were up from 3:30am to 4:30am with drunk/loud people near us (called security at 4am); garbage trucks started at 5am. (they moved us to a new room the next night)
Old rundown- rooms need tlc on paint, baseboards, grout; showers didn’t work well; microwave and coffee maker didn’t work. Refrigerator shelves broken.
Restaurant was expensive and dinner meals the 4 of us had were not great
Overpriced
Resort fees are a ripoff in the winter when you can’t use most of the facilities

I had a really lovely stay at this hotel for 6 nights.. The staff were extremely accommodating and the front of house staff were excellent. This hotel is perfect for families. It's a large resort with a great pool that opens very late, but you have the option of your using their private secluded and safe bay beach with cabanas. The little shop was fantastic that stocked everything from sandwiches, chips, chocolate, swimwear and of course souvenirs.
The hotel offers various room choices. I opted for a king, which was huge and a massive balcony that overlooked the bay. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The onsite restaurant served a great choice of food with great breakfasts and dinner choices for both adults and children.
The location of this hotel is less than 5 mins walk to both Mission Beach, with its promenade boardwalk to Pacific Beach, which allows easy access to miles of yellow sand as well as Belmont Park.
If you are looking for a beach hotel which is reasonably priced, this hotel is a great option.

From my initial booking a few months ago, everything went smoothly.
We arrived at the resort a little early and were greeted by the front desk representative, Karina. We were able to check into our room with little to no wait time. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Kids eat for free the month of October at the onsite restaurant. The food was amazing. We ate there several nights and even ordered room service one night. The staff was amazing! Our studio was a perfect fit for our family. Very clean with no issues. Awesome view of the bay area. This hotel was very convenient. Everything was in walking distance. We even had the chance to see the seals at the resort and enjoy the pool.
During checkout, we received a last-minute delayed flight. We immediately called the front desk and spoke to Karina again. She was very accommodating and allowed us to stay in our room a little longer due to our delayed flight. We feel Karina has great customer service skills and really enjoys what she does.
We really enjoyed our stay at Bahia and plan on staying here again the next time we are in San Diego.

Normally don’t write reviews, but Yandel at the front desk made our anniversary a perfect celebration. He helped us find the perfect room and made great suggestions for activities and dining. The room was clean and comfortable. The resort had all the amenities we were looking for.
