What’s included at La Bahia and what costs extra
Most standard inclusions are covered by a nightly resort fee (welcome beverage, in-room Nespresso, wine/snacks, bottled water, nightly turndown, unlimited Wi‑Fi, 24‑hour fitness access, and complimentary beach cruisers/Tommy Bahama chairs). Meals, spa treatments, valet parking, pet fees, e‑bike rentals and certain extras are charged separately.

What the nightly resort fee covers
La Bahia charges a nightly resort fee that covers a set of in‑room and property amenities rather than food or paid services. The fee is listed on the hotel site as a nightly charge and applies per room.
Included items are delivered as part of the resort fee; these are available to guests during their stay and are not listed as separate line‑item charges at check‑out.
