THB Gran Bahia

"Location: Great location, easy walk up and down the coast. Lots of restraunts and bars nearby. Check in and staff: Mostly great, check in was a breeze. Food and drink: Only had breakfast. It was mediocre. Wouldn't pay for it, rather go for a croissant and coffee elsewhere but that's personal preference. Hotel bar operation is weird, owned by other people who have their dogs and family taking up half the venue. Weird. Nevertheless, friendly. Cleanliness: Good. My room was clean and the hotel appeared clean if just slightly dated. On some days the the pool was a bit dirty by the end of the day. This was the deal breaker for me the ROOM. I booked a single room ----- which is advertised and shown on the hotel website and third party websites as being a room designed for people on their own but still with a larger bed. ------- I stayed in 105, it was a small single bed in a tiny room. The balcony was tiny, with no privacy and mostly obstructed view. The sun poured through the window in the bathroom and directly into the room through the frosted glass door every morning at sunrise. When I asked the reception staff about this I was told pay extra 20 euro a night my own fault for booking it."

"Had a brilliant time at this hotel. Staff were really friendly, rooms amazing and very clean. The room we where in was really quite and great views of the sea. The AC wasn’t great but we had taken fans so it was ok. One thing that was a little disappointing was there was no breakfast option if going on an early morning trip/leaving early for the airport. We paid for bed and breakfast for 4 nights but only got to have breakfast twice. A suggestion would be that the restaurant is open to get tea/coffee, pastries/cereals a bit earlier. Will definitely be returning to this hotel next year"

"I had to cut my holiday short because I couldn't sleep for five consecutive nights. The lack of sleep completely ruined my vacation. The soundproofing is practically non-existent. I could hear loud music from the bars outside until late at night, and from around 6 a.m. the music from the hotel's breakfast area started blasting. I could also hear every chair being moved in the room above me, people coughing, conversations from neighboring rooms, and even intimate moments next door. If you're looking for a peaceful holiday, this is not the place. The balconies are extremely close together, offering almost no privacy. Cigarette smoke from neighboring balconies constantly drifted into my room, making it impossible to enjoy sitting outside or even keep the balcony door open. The room also had an ant problem. When I mentioned it at reception, I was simply told, "You're by the sea, what do you expect?" They offered a strong chemical ant spray, but I'm allergic to those products, so I couldn't use it. The ants even ended up in my bed. The food was very average and disappointing for a hotel of this category. There were very few vegetables, the overall quality was poor, and I had stomach pain after every dinner. Even with half board, water wasn't included at dinner—a 0.5L bottle cost €5, which felt unreasonable. Overall, this hotel is overpriced and nowhere near the standard I'd expect from a 4-star property. I would rate it closer to 2 stars. I cannot recommend it, especially if you value sleep, comfort, and a relaxing holiday."
