Top Cardiff-by-the-Sea Hotel Reviews

Ocean Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, friendly staff"

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Bahia Resort was a lovely stay. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. (Shoutout to Beverly for being so kind to us) Price point however is quite high if you are going in with the expectation of updated amenities. The original hotel was built sometime in the 50s and updated during the 70s and it doesn’t seem like much renovation has been done since the early 2000s. If that isn’t an issue for you, and if you plan on staying here, come during the season where the Bahia Belle Steamboat is in season. Additionally it has great access and location to the beach as well as Belmont Park Their onsite restaurants and cocktails were really good too! TLDR High price point for small slightly outdated rooms with excellent central location near many attractions."
