Any recent stays? We were hoping to go back to Bahia Beach this fall, but the recent reviews at TripAdvisor are dreadful. Were thinking of moving to here but no points reservations available on the dates we checked

As for Bahia Beach, keep in mind that a lot of the reviews are from folks who stay on the condo side or rent rooms there via airbnb/VRBO. We've been to the St. Regis twice during covid and it's pretty darn spectacular.

RC Reserve properties don't participate in Bonvoy so you can't earn or redeem points here.

Thanks for the info. The reviews I've read at TA sound like the regular hotel part is a mess. No help, no room at the restaurants, food at Sea Grapes is bad. We were there in March of 2020, about 10 days before everything got locked down and we agree it was spectacular. But there are no good recent reviews which has us worried.

Going to keep our res at Bahia but not buying flights until further along, hoping to see better reviews. Will have to figure out a Plan B for October instead.

Ritz Reserve Dorado Beach to join Bonvoy
New owners…….
the Reserve will join the Bonvoy Program where you can earn and burn points.
program starts April 14th.
I’m sure the amount of points needed for a free night will be super high.
