Hotel Bahia Playa

  • December 6, 2007

Hotel Bahia Playa

From the very first moment we knew we had chosen the best hotel to stay at. Many people would say that it’s better to stay at a “Posada” close to the Historic Quarter, but what we liked about Hotel Bahia Playa was the peace of the place. It’s located at the rambla in front of the river. You can have breakfast with a beautiful view, then go for a walk along the rambla, or have fun at the pools. The hotel has a beautiful park, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Jacuzzi, sauna, game room, and a gym.

In spite of the 100% occupation of the hotel, we seldom saw other guests or hear noises. The only time was when we had breakfast. The restaurant was full, but both days we manage to get a table by the window. Is there a better way to start your day than having breakfast with a great view of the river on a sunny day? I can’t think of any.

There are three types of rooms: standard, superior, and special. For a reasonable rate of $70 we booked a superior room. It was a nice room overlooking the garden with cable TV, air-conditioning, mini bar, and a comfortable private bathroom with hairdryer. The special rooms are considerably bigger and they have a balcony. Some of the superior rooms have a balcony overlooking the park too, but unfortunately they weren’t available ones when we called to book.

It’s highly recommended to have a car if you stay here since it’s quite far from the city center, around 25 blocks. There are several companies in Colonia that rent cars, scooters, golf carts, and bikes. We rented a scooter, which allowed us to come and go to the different places we wanted to visit, so being far from the center wasn’t an inconvenience.

Service was flawless. I had never seen more attentive staff at any hotel I have stayed. They always made their best to give you what you needed and always with a smile. Check out is at 11am, but if you have lunch at the hotel’s restaurant, you can keep your room until 7pm. Not only didn’t we have to pay late check out, but also we had a delicious lunch. Hotel Bahia Playa: Very Highly Recommended!
