We have stayed at the Bay Resort twice and both times were very pleasant. Love stepping out on the back patio to sit in the morning with my coffee. At night we sit and watch a beautiful sunset. Also, hotel is pet friendly.

Not sure why I had to pay a 2 night resort fee when the pool wasn't open and when I called about the dog staying with us back in February they said there is no fee that weekend,but when we got to the hotel they told me we owe $150. Disappointed!
