Recently returned from the Bahia. This was the best hotel we have stayed in on a winter holiday. The food was excellent, as was the staff, and rooms. Very good entertainment which normally we would stay for about about 30minutes we stayed to the very end. The beach was a little on the rough side as were the kiosk shops around the beach, however there is a lovely coastal walk which will take you to Playa de Duque a very nice beach with good umbrellas and chairs (20 mins walk) if you carry on walking La Caleta is a fishing harbour with fantastic fish restaurants around, these walks are to the right once you are on the sea front. To the left is pretty awful a good 45mins walk will take you past Las Americas to Los Cristianos which is quite o.k.

We stayed here end Jan early Feb 2012. The room was well kept and spacious, with a large settee which doubled as a third bed if required, and a small table and two chairs. There was a tv with lots of English channels. More than enough storage, and nice bathroom with shower over bath. All kept spotlessly clean. Towels were changed every day, pool towels three times in a fortnight, which was fine. There are no electrical sockets in the bedroom, but the one in the bathrom is next to the top that the basin is set into, so it's no problem.
There are three pools, the largest one is heated in winter, and there are different areas for sun bathing on various levels, which prevents a 'crowded' feeling. Although there are steps to consider when going to and from the dining room, they are quite shallow so don't really present a problem. People with walking difficulties could use the lifts. The whole area looked lovely at night when lit up. Evening entertainment was varied, and the waiters lit patio heaters around the tables if you wanted to sit out after the evening meal.
The food was excellent, they did try to vary the choices, everything was well cooked and on a Thursday they do a special 'Canarian' day, the waiters dress up a little, there's Cava at breakfast if you want it, and a traditional musical trio walk around the dining room at the evening meal.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the dining room staff, who have to put up with some extremely rude people!!!
The only problem with this hotel is that many of the rooms are devoid of sun all day. The ones facing the road get the morning sun, the ones on the back in the main building get the sun all afternoon until it sets, which are the best. The rooms in the block that overlooks the pool don't get any sun at all. Having said that, there are lots of sunbeds to use. We had a lovely holiday and would return.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the Bahia Princess. The hotel was clean and tidy. Our room was the same. The staff from house keeping, reception, maintenance, waiting and bar were all very friendly and could not be more helpful. Breakfast and dinner selection was vast with something for everyone. The quality of the food was very good and always well presented.
We will be back again. This year I hope.

Thomson rate this as 5 star I would say 3 star plus. I went on my own end of January till early Feb to relax and I was able to do that, I am planning to go back.

All of the Staff were the best I have ever seen well trained friendly and seemed happy to help, the entertainment staff where brilliant they pulled everyone together. Day time and evening activities, certificates handed out I won one for dancing it was all a lot of fun.

Food was excellent if a little limited with choice, salad bar was very small on selection the lay out of the self service needs to be changed, a bit of a bun fight to get food. Water 3 euros enough for two people wine selection OK and you can take un-drunk wine back to your room they don't store it for you. Sangria made with Cava is worth a try. Cava is provided at breakfast once a week on a Thursday.

I ended up with a noisy room (situated in a bit of a built up area) the hotel seemed happy to change but I overheard people having to wait a few nights to get a noise free room and as I had unpacked I didn't bother changing but it was difficult to sleep some nights. Safe hire costs 2.5 euros per night frig 4 euros per night towels are provided and changed once a week if staying two weeks, there is a charge if you need to change before that. Sun beds don't go totally flat so lying on tummy is difficult my front is a lot browner than back you can go to the beach but they charge 6 euros a day for their beds. Night time entertainment is variable but worth a look happy hour 8 till 9 in Princess bar cocktails are fabulous.

There are a lot of steps and quite steep but there are lifts that can be used. Bottom pool is heated others are very cold. No tea making in room 1.7 euros for pot of tea but might want to take own bags as their tea is fairly weak.

Overall I would say good value for money suitable for couples, families and singles.
