Low Tide restaurant serves American cuisine for brunch, lunch, and dinner. High Tide offers brunch with ocean views and a prix fixe menu created by Chef Fernando. The Plunge pool bar, tended by bartender April, provides cocktails and snacks by the heated pool.

The spa on the 6th floor offers a signature La Bahia massage, facials, and a dry sauna with ocean views and Bluetooth music. The spa also has a steam room, and guests can use the rooftop sauna and chaise lounges after treatments. Yoga classes take place at the hotel, and the fitness center is open for guest use.
