La Bahia Hotel and Spa
"Probably the coolest hotel I’ve stayed at in as far as I can remember. The decor was out of this world! The bed was absolutely fabulous! Loved the little extras (night time surprises on my pillow, cold lavender towels and popsicles by the pool). Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!"
