hotel for non-showering people
Situated in a breath-taking location, the Bahia seems to subscribe to the idea that idyllic natural landscapes and a beautiful garden of their own will suffice, with no extra effort required. Some parts of the property must have gone through their last remodel / upgrade several decades ago. Coupled with showers that do not produce reliable hot water but alternate between scalding hot and ice cold every few moments and housekeeping that is only trained to remove towels and bathmats without every bringing fresh ones, it is an epitome of a hotel past its prime and run on the cheap. Some of the front desk staff is great, some of them are rude. After we complained, we were moved to a newer part of the property - that is when we finally saw where the website pictures were taken. Unless you have a magical guarantee for the newest wing, either stay elsewhere or be prepared to deal with unreliable water supplies and rusted-out sinks.
