Bottom Line
The 188-room Hotel Bahia de Santander is one of the largest and most sophisticated hotels in the neighborhood. The four-pearl property was completely renovated in 2014 bringing clean lines and elegant furnishings to the restaurant, rooms, and public areas. Ferry service and the pier are only 100 meters from the front door. The hotel is a popular place to hold weddings and business events. If the beach is more important than the ferry, try comparing rates at Hotel Chiqui.
