Bahia

Viridiana bartenders were always lots of fun to talk to at the pool. AC works amazingly. The food at the restaurant was delicious and treated my stomach well.

Loved my stay here, the staff is super friendly. The pools are nice with a bar in them, ask for Jack he’s the best bartender! Along with Jacob he works at the bar restaurant in front he can help you with whatever you need. Perfect location everything is walking distance. Beach around the corner with cool bars and the marina with shopping centers up the street. Perfect vacation stay. Only thing was the wifi, you have to pay per day if you want it in your room & the connect is always going out. Other than that great place.

I purchased 3 days at Bahia thru Skyauction detailing specific dates. Deal done. Later that day after booking my flight etc. I receive a email saying the hotel won’t honor my booking. I contacted the hotel via social media. Keep getting a response management will contact me. They haven’t nor do I believe they will. Terrible customer service and just plain bad way of doing business. Very disappointed no Bueno. The social media person for Bahia has messaged me on more than one occasion informing me the Bahia would contact me regarding my issue. I’m still waiting. This is not the way a businesses get repeat guests and surely has me vey upset.

The service is excellent. The decorating is fabulous. The location is… a block from the beach.
I go to Cabo to be on the beach. This was a last minute trip so I booked a cheap flight and hotel package and were only disappointed that the hotel wasnt on the beach. Everything is great here. It’s clean — the décor is great. It’s romantic and elegant with great textures and colors. Since I’m a beach goer, the hotel was a distant second place. We spent all of our time away from the hotel. Didn’t have one drink nor meal here. Didn’t use the pool. It was merely a resting place.
In summary, there are many great things about the Bahia. I liked it a lot and would come back again if I can’t get into a beach resort. This is a top-​notch second place joint.

Bahia was amazing!
they helped us with transportation from the airport to hotel and back to the airport at the end of our stay ($ 30/​person for a private ride or $ 25 for shuttle but you end up making more stops and its about 45 minutes away)
We got the cheapest room (~$ 125 a night through Expedia) as we did not plan to spend too much time in our room. The cheaper rooms are a bit outdated. They have kitchen which I think is unnecessary and a little awkward. However, we did get a balcony which was lovely to sit on in the mornings or evenings. — We also paid about $ 10 more for the «American Breakfast included» however Expedia did not communicate this to the hotel. I forgot we had purchased the first morning, the second morning I asked the Receptionist and he had nothing in his notes. I showed him my confirmation email and they gave us vouchers. That being said, you have to eat the same thing off the menu every day. You didn’t get options.
Hotel pool was amazing and relaxing. Day beds and lounge chairs. 2 for one drinks all day.
Hotel bar and Restaurant was amazing as well. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was delightful and the staff was even better.
Hotel was located less than a block from Medano beach. We split our time between the pool and the restaurants/​bars at the beach. — careful with the restaurants on the beach as they will try to charge you for more than what you ordered. We were charged $ 50 for 2 drinks and nachos at one place. Another place added on drinks to our tab that we did not order.
Downtown was a bit further than «2 blocks» which is what everyone will tell you. It is a bit of a trek and honestly not my type of scene. But if you enjoy the «nightclubs» then I highly suggest you make the trek.
If you are looking for a party hotel, BAHIA IS NOT THE HOTEL FOR YOU. If you are looking for something classy, relaxing, and with a good ambiance, Bahia Is the place!
I will 100% book my next stay here and will recommend to everyone I know.

Tours to fun is the affiliate to this hotel to set up transportation to and from the airport. Pain in the ass. Finally, Miriam helped me out. Very nice young lady. Everyone seemed professional and helpful. The hotel is clean and accommodating. Each room has a kitchenette. Providing dish soap and a packaged new sponge and paper towels would have been helpful.
Pool area is standard small boutique hotel style and very relaxing. Sun doesn’t hit pool area until after 2 or so. Hotel blocks the sun.
Grab water and snacks from local corner store. Cocktails are $ 12 – 15 at the bar I hear.
This place is literally a short block from the main beach where the office is located. Edith’s is on the corner across and the marina is a short 5 blocks over. Super easy to walk… everything very centralized.
We didn’t get talked to at all for a time share here but we were bombarded at a taco shop and when we walked by Baja Brewery on behalf of cabo villas. So annoying.
Always ask what things cost in this town. Some people are reasonable and some price gauge!
This hotel is recommended. Cute, quaint, centralized, clean and professional.

Nice hotel within easy walking distance of the beach. All of the staff are very friendly, accommodating, and competent. We were especially impressed with the help of Kelly, who helped us navigate some issue, and get some cards mailed.
The nice thing about this place is that it is close enough to the action to walk there if you want to, but, at the same time, has all of the amenities to keep you happy even if you never want to leave the hotel.
They have a nice, exclusive pool with a «swim up» bar, they have a nice bar/​restaurant with great bartenders, and they even have a «Smoothie Bar» serving healthy smoothies, and other beverages made with local fruit. They have coffee, too.
This place is an easy walk to either the beach, or the marina, and close to anything you want to be close to. It is a good choice, and, if you plan it right, you can do it for a good price, too.
Oh, yeah, they told us that for best reception on the WiFi, we needed to go to the lobby. We did not find that to be true. We got perfectly good, fast WiFi right in our room.

The staff made our stay! Short 40^th birthday weekend went bad when 2 of our group got sick. We were staying in the suite and had get another room at 11pm. They made the transition easy and continued to check on our group throughout the weekend. The setup is great at this hotel with their pool, restaurant and close proximity to the beach without all the lame resort bs. Loved the cabo sup tour we took out to lovers beach. Thanks Lee, Pepe and all the others that made our weekend memorable!

Bahia is the classic Baja style hotel… Yes you get that nasty seashell bed and fixtures, throw in some see through bamboo doors and old kitchen tiles with some gross counter top and stoves… (Yuk!)
So why Bahia then? It’s one of the most affordable hotels that is 2 blocks from the beach and a short walk into downtown and it’s not resort style where you can’t relax at the pool because 15 kids are screaming at the top of their lungs and splashing chlorine water in your drinks. It is however young bachelorette or spring break trashy drunk people being loud and obnoxious at the pool… You pick, kids or trashy drunks. I honestly prefer trashy drunks because if you can’t be one, join them! (Where as you can’t really scream and play with kids unless you want to be known as the resort pedo.) the 2 for 1 drinks special at the pool probably doesn’t help, but it sure makes you feel good! You can get wasted from 11−5pm, and Jack (director of first impressions) can make ANYTHING happen for you.
The rooms itself is stinky and old. I was really hoping the hurricane destroyed it and they had to rebuild into modern rooms… Or at least newer rooms without the tackiness of Baja and the old smell gone. The toilets are the worst. I came last year and the toilet clogged 4 times, poor guy who tried to fix it… We gave him a good tip every time though bc it was gross. You need a good toilet in Cabo! Especially if you are eating beans, cheese, spicy, and drinking! We were «poopgraded» to a penthouse suite.
If you’re just looking for a decent hotel (not resort) to stay in, Bahia is great. It’s not fancy or resort feel. You still get good service and the AC works. Just as long as the toilet is good Bahia would be perfect for a no frills traveler.

Bahia turned out to be a great choice for our accommodations. It was clean, staff was extremely friendly, and very reasonable. The pool bartender, Jack, was legit! He was extremely helpful and very personable. It’s nice they everyone mostly speaks English as well. I’ll definitely come back.
Pluses:
Clean — None of that nasty bed bug crap.
Friendly Staff
Bar Esquina — Attached restaurant was very good. See my other review.
Pool — Clean. 2 for 1 deals from 11am to 5pm.
Everyone spoke decent English.
Central Location — We walked everywhere. About 20 minutes from everything. 2 minutes from the beach.
Wifi — Thank god
No kids — More of an adult hotel.
AC — Our room was an ice box. Thank god, again.
Large rooms with kitchenettes (fridge, stove, sink)
Delta:
Bathrooms doors were bamboo. No privacy for Montezuma :)
Rough toilet paper haha
Hard beds
Bad plumbing — weak toilets, terrible shower drain
*The pluses outweighed the deltas by far, so don’t be discouraged. I bet most hotels in Cabo have these annoyances, or similar. I’ll be back!
**Go to the liquor store on the corner across from Bar Esquina to buy your waters and beers for the room. Cheap!

Very decently priced for a hotel just a block away from the ocean. Its in a really good area, downtown is just a short cab ride away. Or maybe a 15 minute walk. The pool is beautiful, the pool bar is amazing, and the bartenders are very nice. We ate. Few times and the ceviche and the pizza are the ways to go. If you’re trying to get some work done while at this hotel, it’s pretty difficult unless you were in the lobby. Wi-​Fi doesn’t extend quite pass that which was OK by us but I know for those who had to get some work done, it was pretty frustrating. They have a fully stocked fridgerator with beer, water, and sodas but be sure to check the prices before you buy them.

If you’re like me, you read every review to anywhere you go. So that’s exactly what I did before staying at the Bahia. One review in particular made me think, «Great, what did I book?». But the moment we got here, and 5 nights later… I could not wait to write this review.
I was well aware we booked the most inexpensive room on the 5^th floor, so we expected the basics that were shown on EVERY site. I was not surprised or unsatisfied with our room at all, because again… I knew exactly what we paid for considering there are photos on Unilocal,Bahia’s website, Tripadvisor, etc. Personally, we didn’t spend enough time in the room to care that there wasn’t a flat screen TV. I did appreciate that the room was spotless upon arrival.
As for the «dirty tile», «1980’s deadbolt», and «cushions for a living room»…the dirty tile comes from walking on the beach and back into your room. Maybe being from the beach it didn’t bother me. Plus they clean your room daily if you allow them. The deadbolt… see attached photo… you’ll see a second lock just like every other hotel. And the cushioned bench made a great area to pack and unpack. I’ve also attached a photo of the MEXICAN cable channel guide for those interested in watching TV while in Cabo (you’ll see that they have kindly labeled the available channels in English).
If you don’t want the classic room I recommend spending a little more for the designer room, or a pool side room.
We spent about half of our trip in the pool. The bartenders at the swim up bar were very friendly and it was always fun. There were always a few other people when we went so it was like social hour.
If you do any activities during your stay, I recommend visiting Cabo SUP (which is partnered with the hotel). Pepe and Diego were helpful everyday with all the activities we did.
Their restaurant, Bar Esquina, is amazing. We ate there everyday for breakfast. Great service as well.
The Bahia is a 2 minute walk to Medano beach, and from our room you have somewhat of a view of the ocean. About 2 blocks to the mall and marina, and 3 blocks to downtown.
I don’t have a single complaint about this place. Great customer service, and a beautiful hotel. Everyone from the moment we walked in to the moment we left were all very kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend the Bahia, and will definitely be back for another stay.

We are halfway through our stay here at the Bahia and I’ve been extremely satisfied from the start. Check in was smooth and easy with Miriam, who had been my personal rockstar since we arrived. The rooms are nothing lavish, but for what my boyfriend and I needed on this trip, we were more than satisfied. He is not much a fan of Mexican food, nor Italian or sushi and since he is Muslim, he doesn’t eat pork either, so basically he struggles with pretty much all the food options in Cabo. The little kitchen area was great for him. We were able
To go to a little shop a couple blocks away and he bought eggs and rice and he stayed happy, especially because they lent us plenty of cooking supplies, and had them delivered to our room in less than 5 minutes after we called concierge asking if they had a pan we could use.
Back to Miriam. y boyfriend and I sat through one of those timeshare pitches and we got some great deals for a few activities around town to try while here. I went to Miriam and she asked what days I’d like to do things, and within 10 minutes she had booked all 3 activities for us!
The location is really great and has easy access to the marina and Medano Beach. Sure this might not be the flashiest hotel around, but they take great care of their customers here and for what we paid, we cannot complain at all! We never had an issue with getting wifi or hot water, and always walked into an ice cold room from the great A/​C unit. I would definitely stay again!

I don’t need luxury. I prefer getting outside to see the area and experience the activities with the kids. So, the hotel was nice enough for me and the room wasn’t bad at all. Sure, it was dated, the tile floor was always sandy and the drains were kinda clogged, but everything was usable and the location was pretty great for not being right on the beach.
We arrived on a Tuesday for a weeklong stay. The biggest problem right off the bat was that our Priceline reservation apparently only covered 2 adults. The hotel said they allowed one child, but we needed to pay another $ 35/​night for the other. That almost doubled what we had paid for the whole week. The front desk staff was very professional despite our frustration and even helped us call Priceline and her booking office (manager?) to no avail. We finally relented, but it really put the trip off to a terrible start. The room was literally no different if we had one or two kids in there – no breakfast, no significant additional cleaning or supplies for two 13 and under girls.
We always had warm water and ice cold air conditioning, which we realized is a must after being outside in the humid, hot air. The pool was nice, though the swim up bar was pretty boring, at least during the weekdays before peak season.
Overall a good choice for cost-​conscious vacationers if you don’t have too many people in your room.

The Bahia was perfect for us. The room is pretty basic but roomy. It had lots of closet space/​built ins and a handy little kitchenette which was great. The Bahia staff was awesome. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. (The concierge, Daniel, was especially delightful.)
The best part about the Bahia is definitely Bar Esquina. Seriously, this place rocks. It has such a great vibe — classy but chill and not cheesy or overdone like a lot of other places in Cabo. Great patio, great people watching and live band every night. A+ all around. (Be sure to try the Vampire cocktail!)
We’ll definitely be back to the Bahia.

I was a guest at The Bahia Hotel and Beach Club in June and had a great time!
I was there with my film crew for about 7-​days. My poolside room was comfy, the food and drinks at Bar Esquina were incredible — my favorite was the mango picante! The nightlife scene is one of the most sophisticated in the area. They have a band on Friday and Saturday evenings and the atmosphere makes you want to stay all night.
The hotel is beautifully designed and has lovely boutique feel. Its about a 5 minute walk from Medano Beach, which means that there are ocean breezes floating through the hotel at all times. The beds are plush, the rooms are air-​conditioned and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Here is a link to the hotel tour video:

For the price, you can’t beat this resort. We had a studio condo. It has a full kitchen with a full size frig and 4 burner stove. The unit is older but the décor is quaint and the bed comfortable.
The view is gone since Casa Dorado built in front of it but it has a great location. Just walk down the 1 block hill to the famous Medana Beach. It is just 2 blocks to the wharf and 3 to downtown.
Our unit also had a DVD player and we took many DVDs from home. I don’t think you can rent them in Cabo, yet.
The hot tub is actually HOT! It was July 2015 and the weather was FABULOUS! I have never seen the Sea of Cortez so warm. I could have staying in it all day.

Awful! Thought we booked a «boutique» hotel… don’t be fooled by the site and pictures!
From the start we had problems-​room keys didn’t work 6 times the first day… had to switch rooms because the original we were guaranteed had two queen beds. Nope try a sofa bed without a mattress! Next room… missing patio furniture, missing kitchen plates oh yah and the «80+ premium TV channels» ARE ALL IN SPANISH! Jesus… the furniture is ghetto, front desk is incompetent, pool is dirty and I nearly killed myself cause the pool stairs are tile you slip right off of.
Take a pass on this place… even if you get a deal (which we didn’t) it’s not worth it!

This is literally a «Eek! Methinks not.» kind of review.
OH. MY. GOODNESS. WTF did I just step into?! Don’t let the exterior fool you. They advertised this as a «boutique hotel,» but shit… there’s nothing «boutique» about this except for the lobby. and that’s still farfetched.
Wifi was completely nonexistent in our room and surrounding areas. They said it’s available in the lobby but that’s complete bullshit… it won’t even connect half the time and the other half, it’s slower than a 56k connection. I’m not saying that I can’t live without the internet, but it’s just frustrating when you can’t even log online to check on important things… ie. bank accounts, print our boarding passes or check flight status.
Maybe it was our fault for booking a non-​renovated room. But holy moly, our room looked like a Mexican barrio. Dirty tile floors, a mattress placed next to our kitchen stove, a poor excuse of a bench with cushions as our «living room» and a bathroom door constructed of bamboo sticks which looked like it was inserted half-​assed because you can see what that person is doing in the bathroom. (ahem). =P Talk about a Peeping Tom’s ultimate dream. And don’t get me started on our shitty ass «deadbolt» lock. (see picture attached). And $ 200 (not including tax and fees) per night for this shit!!! WHAT??? I’m sure Motel 6 would’ve looked more like a hotel room.
Not to mention, we didn’t even have HOT WATER for our shower at 5 in the afternoon!!! How in the world was hot water not accessible during this time of the day??? It’s not like we were taking showers bright and early or late at night when the temperature is cooler. Going from our beautiful, luxurious timeshare at Fiesta Americana to THIS shithole… ahhh…what a nightmare this place was.
Did not feel welcoming or homely at all. Stay far… far…away from this dump.

The Cabo San Lucas bay is full of shops, restaurants, and locals offering boat rides to playa el medano (beach), el arco (the arch), and lover’s beach. There are also relatively clean bathrooms here in the cruise ship terminal.
Shop around before making a purchase decision, as prices can vary a whole lot from one vendor or shop to another. Most vendors are happy to take US dollars.
If you are coming from a cruise ship, you can walk to playa el medano, or you can pay a couple dollars for a boat ride. I would suggest the walk, as it allows you to see more of the town.
Downtown is about a 10 minute walk, with tons of shops and restaurants both there and on the way over.
If you want a boat ride to the arch or lover’s beach, or want to rent snorkeling equipment, you’ll find lots of options here.
