My husband, two teenage daughters and I traveled to Bahia del Sol for Spring Break. The resort was clean, the grounds were nice. The main pool was big and lighted at night. We stayed in a Double Suite. It was spacious and had a full size refrigerator, stove, well, fully equipped kitchen.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. Most of them spoke English. Probably one of the best vacations we’ve taken. Lots to do or nothing to do…your choice. We did the Congo Trail Canopy tour..zip lines through the trees, went horseback riding down the beach and up to a mountain lookout and went on a snorkeling tour. All activities went smoothly and are suitable for families. My husband and 15 yr. old daughter studied PADI diving before our trip, then did their testing in the pool and ocean with the on-site dive center…(arranged ahead of our trip).

They were able to take 3 other dives and saw sharks, killer whales, and huge devil rays. The dive instructor took underwater photos and put them on a disk for us to take home. The rest of our time was divided between the pool and the beach. We had a great time walking the beach, picking up shells, playing in the sand, body surfing and watching the incredible sunsets. It was fun sitting there watching the few vendors set up for the day. The food there was adequate and convenient… small local restaurants close by, so…The Golden Shrimp, located up the coast will send a car to pick you up (arrange through the front desk) and is a fun experience as your table literally is sitting in the sand just feet away from the surf.

My favorite thing about this vacation was that you felt you were in a remote tropical paradise. No glitz or glam anywhere. We could wear wet hair and beach cover-ups over our bathing suits to lunch and didn’t spend much more time getting ready for dinner. (Enjoyed not waiting 2 hours for 2 teenagers to shower, dry and straighten hair).

We really overpacked since we wore our bathing suits most of the time. This truly was a beach vacation and I honestly don’t think you could find a better value or a more beautiful beach!
