We went to Bahia Tropical in Almuñécar in August 2022 and just booked it again so we can explore this beautiful place further. Upon our research we expected the place to be good, but it exceeded our expectations by far! An authentic spanish experience not the crazy party style which we were runing away from, but family orientated, relaxed,  stress free. The wast majority of the guests were spanish people and that added to our experience of the local culture and atmosphere. Elegant hotel, very clean, relaxed,good pool and across the road from the beach. Before we arrived we emailed the hotel making some enquiries and Christine replied promptly answering all our questions. Most of the reception staff were friendly and polite, the only thing I would sugest would be to offer better information regarding bus service (bus stop just outside hotel) as we found it a bit complicated and  difficult to understand the time table from the website. Breakfast ticked all the boxes (cooked and european); the fruit , the cheese and freshly cooked waffles were a favourite. Plenty of choice for dinner too (buffet style). Table cloth would enhance the presentation. Daily organised activities in the pool and outside (outlined beside reception). You can ask for towels for the pool for a €20 returnable deposit and have them changed every day. The water pollo was mixed adults and children which felt a bit unsafe as some adults took the game far too serious. One of the life guards was very helpful and good with all the children-Manu, keeping them both entertained and safe;  one of the entertainers-Flavia helped us with translations and explained how some of the activities worked. Cleaners were fabulous,  restaurant staff helpful and patient. The best staff memeber was by far Juan Carlos- managed the pool bookings (you must book your sun lounge every day for the morning session 10am-2pm or/and the afternoon session 4pm-8pm; therr is nol use of the pool between 2-4 when siesta is observed +). Juan Carlos was extremely curteous, professional and helpful with everything we needed during our stay. We hope he will be there again this year, as it made our stay so much more enjoyable! Bahia and Almuñécar- a Spanish gem!
