We had a lovely weekend at this hotel.Very good service, the room was lovely with a amanzing view to the pool. The bathroom needs a TLC, but still good. Breakfast was really good, with lots of option and good service.

We had a great stay at the Bay Hotel. One receptionist there, Roeline, was amazingly helpful since we had never been there before and made our trip so much better. Thank you! The only downside was the noise on Saturday night from a club nearby I think. Otherwise everything was perfect!

Having stayed at the Bay for my 6th time, I was left wondering what has changed at the hotel. The views are incredible, the rooms are still stunning (although a new shower would be good as it still only chest high) and some of the staff are still there from years gone by. I guess it is all in the... More
