Its accommodations include guestrooms and suites designed with a blend of Mediterranean style and worldly details. Guests can enjoy a pool, beach access, and fitness and wellness offerings, including a Moorish-inspired spa with a steam room, ocean-view sauna, relaxation area, Zen deck, and outdoor treatment rooms.

The hotel’s dining and bar venues serve a range of experiences: High Tide offers elevated coastal cuisine, while Low Tide Bar & Grill provides casual dining, cocktails, and live music. Pearl is a lobby cocktail bar, and Plunge serves poolside bites, Mexican specialties, and margaritas. La Bahia also hosts meetings, celebrations, weddings, and other seaside gatherings, with event spaces that include a ballroom and rooftop setting.
