The Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We checked in and there was a mix-up on the room and we didn't get the room that was promised but the stuff was very accommodating and did as much as they could"

Bahia Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"At check in the desk clerk was friendly and seemed to enjoy his job. He pointed out directions to the room and things to do on property. We had a nice room on the 3rd floor in the north tower overlooking the bay. The weather was nice and we enjoyed a bottle of wine on the patio one evening. Had dinner in the Dockside restaurant and the food was wonderful. Waitress was super friendly and checked on us often. We began with oysters, wine and cold brew. My wife had the ribeye, which she enjoyed and I had the spicy salmon. The portion was perfect and the flavor was so good. I highly recommend the salmon. We took our bikes and rode up and down the boardwalk and visited a few other places for snacks and drinks. I also recommend the Sandbar just north of the rollercoaster, for a great Big Ass bloody mary. All in all, a great 3 day getaway."
