Sep 14, 2024 pat J Green Bay, Wisconsin

We haven't been back since 2019. We stayed at the catamaran but now looking at the Bahia. Can someone give us comparisons of the two. We loved the location of the Catamaran by the boardwalk and restaurants. Looking for input between the two resorts. I think they are sister hotels?

The resort itself was beautiful but the room was very dirty. Dead bugs on the sink and gnats flying around the room. Trash in the top dresser drawer including a pill bottle, lipstick on all glasses with a paper cover put on ans if they were clean and filthy robe hanging in closet. Sliding door did not lock so our room was not secure.
