We enjoyed an amazing nine-night stay at this hotel, which offered spacious and bright rooms with lovely balconies. The friendly staff went above and beyond, making our experience even better. We appreciated the diverse dining options and the convenient shuttle service to nearby attractions. However, the noise from the entertainment in the evenings could be disruptive if you're looking for peace and quiet.

My family and I enjoyed our stay, finding the hotel to be clean and welcoming despite its dated appearance. The staff was friendly, and the food options were plentiful and delicious. However, the saltwater pool was a letdown for me personally, and the limited drink offerings during full board was unexpected. Overall, the location was great for beach access, but a few improvements could make it better.

The hotel is perfectly situated on a cliff with stunning views of the ocean, making it a picturesque getaway. The rooms are spacious and kept impeccably clean, showcasing great housekeeping efforts. However, the staff at reception could be more welcoming, which dampened the first impressions. Also, while the bar has some great offerings, the dining service could use more organization, especially during busy times.

I had a wonderful time at the Bahia Cristal Hotel! The location is perfect, with beautiful beaches nearby and plenty of family-friendly activities. The room offered great views and ample space for my family. However, I found the dining experience frustrating due to the lack of complimentary water at dinner and the chilly outdoor pool. Overall, a memorable family vacation with a few minor downsides.
