Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Beach - DoubleTree by Hilton

The hotel is in a good area… hotel itself is outdated and could use some renovations. The pool area is small but was still a good time.

We arrived at the Bahia and when we went to check in the line up was huge and we were told that they had a new computer program for registering guests and it was a bit slow. They also only had 2 customer service reps checking in guests. We did not know it was March Break and the pool area was jammed packed with people and there was no room to sit around the pool. The restaurant was crowded and the floor and chairs were wet. The next day the line up for coffee was at least 10 people long with only 1 person serving. If I was to go back to that hotel I would not go during March Break and I would like to stay in the new section and not the old section

I booked a room for three adults. They gave us a room with two double rooms. They refused to fix the issue, three adult men had to share two double beds. They had rooms available that they could have comped but refused to accomadate us.

Not one person that worked there had a smile on their face or was friendly or helpful

Do not stay in the motel rooms which are garden view they are awful Stains , holes

Good place to hang ou

Water needs to be hotter for showering

One of the worst experiences during check in, starting by being badly treated by valet parking guys once explained we'll park by ourselves, then at the reception by not interested girl that wanted to take double payment. Totally different experience during check out - another girl was super kind but promised an invoice was never sent to us. Hotel is nice, well located, but do not expect nothing really particular

Bahia Mar was a nice hotel. Check in was easy and the room itself was comfortable. There is an extra daily fee called Resort Fee Amenities that we were surprised to see at check out. I’d definitely suggest to ask about this to avoid a shock later on.
