    We had a great stay! Staff throughout the hotel were friendly, helpful and accommodating. We loved our balcony view of the lake and the easy accessible, clean beach. There was even Moomers ice cream available on site. We would definitely stay again!

    this is my second time at the facility and I will come back every single year. The staff are incredible! I love the little snack area available 24 hours a day, it is immaculate, and it’s location cannot be beat. They keep up the beach beautifully I have nothing to add here. It was a phenomenal stay as always.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was very clean and comfortable. Would have been nice to have had maid service but I guess you only get that after staying more than 3 nights.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great hotel, great location on a lovely beach. Not much available around it so have to drive to restaurants, etc.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent location and the hotel and rooms were very accommodating. Staff was ok, but could have been more personable. Breakfast was very basic, but a nice added feature. We had stayover service and I didn't realize they didn't remake the bed. They did replenish towels, empty trash, and vacuum tge room. We would stsy again purely for the nice beach access

    Staff were very helpful. Beautiful views from the bayside balcony and

    Although I only stayed overnight. My husband and I enjoyed our visit. We especially loved the fact we were steps away from the beach + the views were amazing! We had some noisy neighbors! But they were very friendly… so all was well!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We had a king with balcony beach front view it was beautiful the room was spacious and very clean and updated. The only problem was the tv was not a smart tv and we had to watch basic regular cable which was a bummer because it rained and we had a full evening in the room. But other then that it was 5 stars will be staying again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We like the location and the cleanliness of the hotel. I didn't like having to get refills on items like coffee, towels and toilet paper from the front desk. I miss housekeeping! Breakfast options were disappointing. We had very loud guests in the room right above ours.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We had a great stay at the Baywatch Resort! The room was pristine and modern, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a beach view balcony, and the view was fantastic! Breakfast was simple but good too. Overall, I highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Breakfast options could have been better.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Another problem for us was exacerbated by really bad weather. Rain, rain didn’t go away. No real choice of restaurants near enough to warrant braving the storms. Beach was very pretty, well cared for. Would have been a great place to hang in better weather. Families with young children and a collection of teens were not stopped by the clouds and rain. We were. All that to say that we take responsibility for choosing Baywatch. More research may have guided us to a better option.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    All was good. Breakfast Poor selection. The Highway . Television selection was as bad as it can get. TV was great. To bad all programs were from 1970. I don't understand why.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Gorgeous lake views, beach access, comfortable bed.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We love this hotel! Friendly staff and great views of the Bay
