The hotel has a solid location, just a short walk to both the beach and the bay, making it easy to enjoy water activities. The rooms were in decent condition, but the kitchenette was a little outdated and not very clean. While the staff provided adequate assistance, the service could definitely improve, especially regarding housekeeping. Unfortunately, the parking situation was quite chaotic during my stay, which added some frustration to the experience.

The rooms had a kitchenette, but the overall cleanliness was lacking, and the carpet felt perpetually damp. It's a bit dated, and I wouldn't say it's ideal for those expecting luxury.

My stay at the Bay Resort was overall a mix of highlights and frustrations. The views of the bay were amazing, especially during sunset, and the outdoor spaces were perfect for relaxation. However, my experience was dampened by some issues with my reservation and the lack of available support when I needed it. While I appreciated the scenic surroundings, the difficulties I faced made it hard to fully enjoy my time there.

My stay at the resort was truly enjoyable, especially with the stunning views of the bay that made every moment special. The staff was incredibly attentive, always ensuring our needs were met and making us feel at home. The rooms were pleasant, but there were a few areas that could use some updates for a more modern feel. The location right by the bay was perfect for relaxation, and the availability of outdoor activities made it a great choice for families. All in all, a good value for a delightful getaway!
