We booked the Bahia for a cycling holiday and chose the all-inclusive option.
The food was excellent with plenty of choice every day and always something we both enjoyed. The only downside was breakfast starting at 07:45, which meant we missed it several times when heading out early for rides - something cyclists should be aware of.
The cycle storage facilities were very good with secure bike storage available. Bikes are not officially allowed in rooms, although some guests did take them upstairs. One thing to note is that the bike exit gate was locked on some early mornings, so it’s worth asking the night manager to unlock it before setting off.
The staff were fantastic throughout the hotel, especially the bar team. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and helpful.
We stayed in a Junior Suite which was spacious, spotless and very well maintained, with excellent daily cleaning. However, the suites are on the first floor above the bar, reception or restaurant and the soundproofing is poor. We were above the bar and the nightly entertainment was very loud, so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. This is the reason for the 4-star rating.
The pool area was excellent with very comfortable sunbeds, and the small gym was a useful bonus. Overall we had a great stay and would happily return.
