Bay Club Hotel & Marina
I love the Bayclub Hotel and Marina. The staff is helpful and friendly. The views are amazing. The restaurant is very good and they have happy hour from 2:00-6:00 each day. I absolutely enjoy the server Miriam, who works at breakfast time. She is always so friendly, so polite, and we will go out ...
