Can anyone tell me about the Bahia Mar?

[Dolby1000]

We arriving two days before our cruise and would like to stay near/on a beach. Has anyone stayed here? Opinion, thoughts, suggestions?

 

We previously stayed at the Hyatt Pier 66, but that had a bit of a walk to get to the beach.

 

If anyone has stayed here, do you know how difficult of a walk it would be to the opening where the Cruise ships sail? I know it is straight south of the hotel, not sure how far of a walk.

 

Does the resort have laundry facilities? We are trying to under pack.

 

Thank you for any responses.

We're staying at Bahia Mar for the first time in May, so I can't help much. I can tell you that it's an easy walk to the beach, just over the highway on the walkway. Not sure how far from the port entrance.

 

Royalcruz can answer these questions for you. Enjoy!

If you wanted to walk to the inlet, it would be best to walk "on the beach" from the Bahia Mar straight south. It would probably be about 1.5 miles each way so leave with plenty of time. Once you pass the Marriott Harbor Beach resort, there isn't much else "public" so bring refreshments if you're going to make an outing of it on a weekend (in case there are a lot of ships to watch leave).

Ricktwo has it right.

We have stayed at the Bahia Mar on 2 separate occasions and really like it! Great location. You might be able to find out about if it has laundry facilities by by searching their website under amenities.

We stayed there Jan 2 & 3, 2014 pre cruise. ( Full Ocean View Room in the Tower ) We really liked it.

 

Nice to be able to get out and walk around the marina, the beach, lots of restaurants also within walking distance with sidewalk patios over looking the beach.

 

No idea about the walk to the opening to where the cruise ships sail

 

Yes, the do have laundry, ground floor, outside entrance ......seen it on one of our walks :D
