THB Gran Bahia Hotel and Apartments

Cleaning staff works very hard. Gran Bahai is clean, clean, clean. Early in AM, staff are outside washing lounge chairs by the pool, sweeping & cleaning everywhere. Every day they replenished towels, TP, cleaned sinks & toilets & whatever needed doing. Small, efficient fridge was in room (non mini-bar stocked) to fill with your cold drinks. Pool was lovely, but quite small for a hotel of this size (2 buildings). There was also a lifeguard/attendant from 9:30am-6:30pm, who handed out towels. Some didn't care if there were towels on chairs with no one on them for hours on end, while others did and removed towels after about half an hour. It was usually challenging to get a chair unless you went out bright & early before lifeguard arrived. 6:30pm way too early to close pool when it's that hot (35-40C). Excellent breakfast buffet - pretty much anything you could want, except for oatmeal (or a hot porridge of some sort). They also offered a dinner buffet at 15 Euro per person. Each day they had a different roasted meat + cooked fresh fish for those who wanted it. It was a nice break from all the heavy fried stuff along the Boardwalk. Our room was right at the front facing the beach. We had a huge terrace which provided a lovely cool and welcoming breeze - worth the splurge. Staff very nice and accommodating. 4 Star? Not in my opinion. Our room had 1 uncomfortable molded plastic chair in it. We were there for 2 wks, so not ideal. Dresser for clothes would've been nice.

Everything was great. We chose to purchase a room that had breakfast included. Well worth it. Only thing I would request is to have coffee pods in the room for guest. Other than that everything was great and the staff were super friendly.

Staff very friendly, lovely hotel, great location

very nice room with comfortable amenities and kitchenette. the beach is amazing and very close by with good access. Gym is very good.
