Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was helpful and friendly but didn’t have the key for us, we had to ask for towels and sheets which were stained and torn when we finally retrieved them ourselves in the rain. The shower was filthy and stained, I don’t think it could have appeared clean even if scrubbed. There was a gap in the wooden front door and the glass slider wouldn’t close completely, gapped between panels- also if tugged on, it would come away from the door frame- could have been broken easily to gain entry. There was giant ants crawling all over. The walls and window covers were faded and stained - the whole place seemed unclean and was uncomfortable to be in.

So disappointed! We arrived after dark. Check in was quick but the room we were given was so disgusting. Lights falling out the ceiling, fridge didn't keep items cold, the toilet didn't flush, the ac filters were so dirty and clogged, the cobwebs in the windows, dirty drawers in the kitchen, just to name a few. We survived the night and asked for a new room. The new room was mariginally better but the moldy grounds left in the coffee pot pushed me over the edge. We booked 3 nights but left after 2. This place has the potential but the owners need to invest in repairs and maintenance.

Check in was easy. Pool was nice. Staff was attentive with minimal resources. The room was substandard; beds, cooking utensils, lights and fans not working, dirty old fridge, air conditioning that could not keep up with the heat, no decking furniture ( we had to ask), bathroom had missing tiles, screen not secured and was disgusting We had payed for 5 nights and left after the second night even though it was not- refundable by the Expedia. To top it off our neighbors who were local paid 1/4 of the price which we were charge by Expedia. They actually laughed at us. We believe Expedia mislead us or they were mislead. We use Expedia regularly and did not anticipate they would lead us that way according to the posting. Stay away!!

The property is at walking distance of the beach, quiet and the sea is visible from the room, however it feels abandoned, one of the the beds didn't have any linens, it was literally just the mattress and the staff didn't provide any even after requesting at the front desk. All pillows had mold and rust came out of the tap when we first opened it. Also the fridge didn't work. Would not recommend.

I generally don’t write reviews but felt I should here. Toilet had major leak ((water running out of bathroom even). Had to argue to get a different room. Dirty bedding. No comforter. Promised king bed was given a double. No toiletries as promised. Kitchen is not very workable. Broken thumb latch on entry door. Balcony door was locked shut so we couldn’t use. Completely neglected place.

First, there is no entrance sign for this property, it took us about 15 minutes to figure out. Road to the unit is all one way, narrow & tight parking space. The reception area was so primitive. The unit we got was in bad shape: bed not comfy, bedsheets were old and torn, chairs & sofa looked dirty, shower tub and glass door had all dirty stain and mold, a few wall tiles were missing, air conditioning dripped water on floor all night and we had to be careful walking around in the room, couldn't open safe & staff wouldn't provide master code to open, lock on patio door were broken. We felt so unsafe and uncomfortable the whole night and we felt being cheated by the pictures and descriptions posted on Expedia. That was the worst stay in my life. I would not stay there even if that was free of charge. That place needs a big renovation or they just need to shut down the business.

A cheap hotel, and it shows.
The best ting about Vista Bahia was the service. The staff were friendly and accommodating -- even allowing us to check in much earlier than advertised. The hotel was lower priced so I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but nothing like what was pictured. The room was spacious and came with a kitchenette, but the sink only had working water on the hot faucet, no cold, no filtered. The tub faucet was leaky and both tub and toilet were either stained or dirty (hard to tell.) Towels were given at check in, but none are provided in the rooms (including wash cloths.) There are no other amenities, like a hair dryer, soap & shampoo. Beds are firm, with fitted, top sheet and 2 pillows. Several items were in disrepair including: the sliding door to the balcony (had no working latch so it always remained unlocked), the cable and wi-fi worked intermittently, and several lights were out. There is a bar in the lobby, but no restaurant and no bottled water available. The pool was nice, but the overall impression of the hotel was one in disrepair. It was a place to sleep for the night, but nothing more. We were only there 1 night, but you can do better. Much better.

Great location, they appear to be trying to fix the place up. But the room was far from acceptable. It appears no one has cleaned the rooms in months. Upon arrival we were missing towels for the bathroom, and it was odd that they left the key just hanging in the lock for us to just "let ourselves in". I thought my 11 y.o. daughter was exaggerating when she told me it looked like a scary movie in the bathroom. She would not shower without my wife right outside the door. And to my dismay, she was right on. The soap scum and mold in the shower was unacceptable. Then to find out it was a cold shower because she didn't have any hot water. It didn't appear to have been swept in weeks with all of the bugs and dust under the bed. These are the big items of my nit picking. The small items, beach access? Kind of. It is shared with the hotel next door that you have to cross a trench to get to. Sliding glass door to the balcony didn't lock. This place has some very serious potential, and I did see people working to fix it up. Just would have been nice to know these things before we were there.
