Days Inn Bahia Cabana Beach Resort - Fort Lauderdale 26.10986, -80.10612

After travelling 7000 miles, I was eager to get some rest in a reasonably quiet, easy-going hotel room. In this, the Days Inn didn?t do too bad. The air-conditioning unit kept the room a comfortable 20oC, but sounded like the engine of a Boeing 747, and had to be switched off during sleep. The décor was okay. Recently redecorated, it smelt of fresh paint, but the quality of the paint finish (chalky residue and wobbly ceiling/wall borders) and paint spots on the bed, suggested it was rushed. Refreshments weren?t great (filter coffee only and a fridge). The cleanliness of the room could not be faulted. Every day it was cleaned and the beds made. Alas, although the comfort was limited, it was kept clean (a cockroach moved in for the one night). The best aspect of the Days Inn Bahia is its proximity to the beach (1 min walk) and the excellent bar patio. Here, the food was quick, tasty and served with a friendly face. The menu was fair, but no vegan or gluten-free options were apparent. However, the dishes were filling. The beer selection was reasonable and the atmosphere excellent. The mixture of taped and live music worked well. This hotel is reasonable value for money for those on a limited budget, who will spend most of the day out (on the beach) and are not bothered about the novel comfort features. The water-taxi service is just round the corner, which makes it ideal for those who want to explore the (limited) touristy bits of Fort Lauderdale.

Directly across the street from the beach. Easy to find. There is a pool and a hot tub/jacuzzi, but they near the restaurant that is located within the hotel. The pool is right next to the bar, and the jacuzzi is on the other side between the rooms and the restaurant. My friend and I didn't prefer swimming while others were eating, nor would we eat while others are swimming. Free Valet Parking for hotel guests. Great Staff!!

The pictures posted on this site must have been taken 10 years ago. This place is a dump. The hotel bar gets busy, I guess that's a plus.

We are 25, and read the reviews so we already knew what to expect. Its def just a place to crash for the night.The water was yellow and the area was a little sketchy. The tiki bar was not busy at all and it may have just been cause it was out of season. The people that were their, seemed like a local crowd and were older. Wouldnt stay their again

It is in a good location, if you are spring breaking with some friends and just want to have a good time this is a good place for you. I went with a couple of friends and the hotel could have been cleaner, however, it was fine for the money we paid.

This is an older Days Inn Hotel, close to the Marina and across the street from the beach. Our room was not in the main part of the complex, away from the bar and the pool. This was a good thing as it could get quite noisy in those areas at night. The room is older, but kept clean and functional, for it's age. Not as nice as some places, and nicer than others. RE:recommendation. a yes if you just need a place to stay over night; maybe if you are looking for a destination resort.

Needs Improvement thur-out it is very out dated.

NO FRILLS, GOOD FOOD, CLOSE TO THE CRUISE SHIPS AND AIRPORT.

great location near beach, themhotel itself very old from early, 50's needs to be torn down & rebuilded. in the room coffee pot mdid not work not enough towels, i guess overall clean but could use few improvements.

Right next to the beach. Bar/pool/hotel area is always crowded. A quick cab ride away to downtown.

liked the hotel very much. Had a Cabana bar with live music, lots of fun. staff very nice!

Hotel is old, Bathroom is very small. sink was less then 8"x6". The pictures on the web are not what we slept in. However it was clean.

If you want a fun atmosphere, come to this hotel. The Tiki bar was right outside our room and went till about 3a.m., but we had such a good time during the day that it didn't keep us up. The food at the restaurant was great! We had breakfast and dinner there and it was well prepared, fast and tasty. The tables are under cover, or on the deck overlooking a nice harbor and the intercoastal water way. The beach is right accross the road and the boardwalk is about 1/2 mile away. I would definately go back.

We were not very pleased with this hotel. Too loud, lots of drinking and loud music. If I were 23, single and drank until I collapsed, this might be a place I would check out. This is not a family resort- nor is this a place to relax as you sleep. Although the location is great, it is not worth it. I would not suggest this hotel to anyone I cared about.

I found the room to be very damp. Our room was beside the pool area where there were a lot of people partying. The room did not appear to be secure. Window closed but would not lock. Shower was too small. Location to beach was very good. Staff was very hospitable. All in all I know I would not stay there again.

The remodeling they said was poorly done! No where to park and we had to put a chair under the doornob! Thank God I was with a buddy for a football game and not my wife! We would have left and lost the money we paid!!! Would not do it again!!!

Bitterly dissapointed with the shocking condition of this hotel.Everything was dirty- doors, walls floors. This hotel is actually just a big party place- so if you are travelling with kids- dont bother. We were kept awake by people and music till about 2 in the morning. It was the middle of summer in Fort Lauderdale and we booked the hotel because it had a pool- but were only told once we had paid and checked in that the pool was empty. Checked straight out the next day.

Started vacation a day early & needed last minute reservation so went on hotels.com. Hotel was a little old or maybe retro is a better word. Was clean & comfortable. Room was a little small. Very reasonable rate though. Right across from the beach was a plus. Had deck bar/restaurant facing marina, with live entertainment. Got in late & kitchen was closing but they let us order food & were very nice about it. Food was good & server was very friendly. Had alot of fun & would go back in the future.

It was a great location on Ft Lauderdale Beach. Plus I loved the friendly service from the employees. Would like to stay there again. S.O.

It was decent. The floor plan of the hotel was unique. All centers around a courtyard with the jaccuzi and a restaurant/bar overlooking the Intercoastal. If you're not worried about people staring at you in your bikini, the jaccuzi would be great. Mold around the window in the bathroom. No valet parking in the morning.

The Hotel is located across the street from the beach and from a very good restaurant. It's a two lane street crowded with auto's, trying to get to their hotel or get parked for the restaurant. So, we did experience a little road rage. This would probably be a great place for the younger crowd, as it is close to a lot of action. If they don't mind the condition of the place. The Hotel is very old and in dire need of being remodeled. It is clean and that says a lot. I really didn't know it was only a two star hotel because we usually only do a three if it's just for one night, as this was. We were just going to catch the Discovery to Freeport, Bahamas early the next morning. Staff was wonderful, and didn't forget that wake up call, bless them. I would recommend this Hotel to the very young who just want to party and don't care about much else and to folks like us who just need a place to stay for one night.

There was a really big mix up with our reservation. Hotel finally fixed everything.

The hotel was just old. Carpet and beds were fairly new but the bathroom and everything else was old. Had to be built in the 50s or 60s. Next to a Marina and has outside bar/dining area and even had live music. Be great if I was on College Spring Break. But that is over 20 years too late for me.

This hotel was one of the worst hotels I have stayed in a long time. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone at all.

Great hotel for spring breakers, Very Loud with partiers till 3 Am, the pool was not anywhere near clean, the food and drink prices were WAY over priced for the quality of food, they added the gratuities to every bill so you are forced to leave a 15% tip if the service was good or not, you have no choice........will NEVER stay there again, too many other hotels to choose from.....also they claim all rooms were re-done in 2007.......a joke, holes in walls covered with fresh pain.......you decide....see a room before you pay for it.

An older hotel, but kept up. Could use some improvements in the bathroom fixtures and tub. What i expected for the price i paid.

The stay was good for the time we were there close to the beach clean room friendly people all whys asking if we needed some thing the staff was nice. Good food & bar was fun great breakfast food keep u going all day.

Room wasn't ready when I checked in. TV didn't work. Bugs.

mauvais etat,sinistre, inondation ,minable.....

Hotellet er en stor bodega, med larm til kl 0100 alle ugens dage og i weekenden til kl 0300, dårlige drinks og for dyre, sammenlignet med andre steder i Fort Lauderdale, betjeningen lidt for frisk og halv frække kommentarer, bar og restaurant område halvnusset, fugle der spiser rester på bordene når tallerkerne ikke blive rydet hurtigt nok af, affaldspande uden låg med madrester, så fuglene spiser af, der er godt nok skilte med at man ikke må fodre fuglene, men det ordner hotellet med affaldspandene uden låg. Mit råd find et andet hotel.

Första intrycket är sådär, men kommer man in på området och hör musiken från baren, ser floran av besökare, förstår närheten till vatten (och taxibåtar) samt beachen, då känner man att man har bokat rätt. Ingen lyx, men en skön känsla av alla-känner-alla och ett ställe många återkommer till. Ett måste för partysugna.
