The most bare hotel I have been to. Kettles need to be rented for a charge + deposit. There are no cups or cutlery in the room. Mini fridge is empty. I think I can understand why the hotel went for such measures given the crowd that is staying there - too many wild screaming Britons. Breakfast tables have nothing but a cloth. Lounge chairs are bare plastic making them very uncomfortable to use. Most of the chairs are in fact not available for use because guests dump their towels to reserve them and then not show up for hours. Staff allow this behaviour. The loud entertainment went on till 23:30 (accompanied by partying guests next door) so if you want to sleep any time before that - forget it, it's like trying to sleep inside a night club. Beach towels are not provided, bathroom towels cannot be taken out so if you didn't bring your own - tough. It is a beach property but the beach is private and hotel guests do not get any discounts. The shower was hot and had good pressure but there was hair left in the drain. Beds seemed good at first but I woke up with back pain. Went up to take a look at the roof terrace which looked lovely but we didn't stay for a drink. All in all the hotel was not for us and certainly would not recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing place.

Great location, located on the seafront, next to many beach bars and on the beachfront. Very spacious and clean rooms.

Great location on beach. We didn't go pool view or sea view purely because we don't sit on the balcony & use it only to dry towels. We stayed on bed & breakfast basis, food was great with lots of choices. 6e a day to add breakfast which is very cheap. The only thing we couldn't eat were hash browns, every day burnt to the point of inedible. Overall great value for money Great location & amazing roof top bar Highly recommended We will come back

Just had 10 days on B and B ,view from room and size of balcony very good . Room very dated, bed comfortable,amp,e space in room and wardrobe . No full length mirror,no mirror at right height to sit, for makeup or drying hair . Fridge in room with nice touch included water,cava and box of donuts .Clean towels daily ,but some threadbare. Bed made daily but no cleaning done in the 10 days ,ie floor sink bath or shower atttachment lot of black mould about . No hand rail in bath was slippy and high to get in shower . Table on balcony very marked and grubby . Breakfast food mediocre ,coffee machine was hit and miss with type of coffee. Reception staff excellent ,dining room ok. Outside bar staff very arrogant . Roof top bar very nice amazing views . Signs not to reserve sunbeds but towels on them early morning not policed .Cabana beds for daily rent but no shade on them ,in full sun .Position excellent.easy walk to marina or carihuela ,lots of bars and restaurants. No safes in rooms downstairs in an open room ,not ideal . So some room for improvement.

Last day here. Have been for a week and will definitely come back. Staff very polite and extremely hard working. Bedroom 708. Spacious, and clean. Beds. So comfortable. Shower. Could be cleaner. Black mould on hose pipe. I cleaned myself. Not a problem. Heard no entertainment noice on this level. WiFi really not good. Not too busy. Possibly due to time of year. Temperature just perfect. I don’t think I would enjoy so much at peak season Highly recommended
Response from Property: Dear lmcf63 Thank you for taking part of your time to comment on your experience. We are happy that you had a good stay at our hotel. We would be happy to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards

The hotel is in an excellent location clos to the marina and on the shore line. Staff in restaurant are happy and pleasant. The hotel is in need of investment badly, worn carpets and shoddy wall coverings. Our room 821 was dusty on arrival and the floor area containing the fridge was dirty and unhygienic! I asked for this to be cleaned but was ignored [I took photos]. The restaurant food was luke warm and repetitive, some dishes 3 times in 7 days! The food was poorly presented and lacking in care, the show cooking okay, but some fish was just offcuts that you would feed your cat! The towels in the room were course, hard to the skin and threadbare. There is a lovely roof top bar, but the corridor leading to it is a disgrace. It seems like the owners want to wring as much out of the hotel with no investment. Stayed at pez estrada last year, wish I'd gone back!

What can I say about this great 3 star hotel. Nothing but good. First time for me, 3rd time for some family members. Super clean, sea front room ,very little noise after 12 at night. Great staff ,very friendly. Good breakfast section also .We did not do dinner there as we like to eat in different places on holiday. Super clean pool and safe for the kids. Lots of entertainment at night and daytime also. 2 mins to the beach and the shops and so on. Bathroom is small with a shower over the bath, best hotel shower I have ever had, tons of hot water all day long .Delighted with this hotel, a great base to stay with all the tours ,shops, marina all near. Will be back for sure.

We've stayed a few times before and booked 4 nights for my wife's 60th birthday. Again this hotel cracked it with great location but the main thing are the staff, everyone goes above 5 star service to help out in any way. You must as in all partds of Spain try to use the language as this brings everything to an even higher level of service. Thanks again for a memorable few days and can't wait to get back, John and Eileen.

The place is a bit run down. There are no Kettles in the room. The pool bar staff were rude and showed no respect to English paying customers. On some good notes, the cleaners were great as was the entertainment manager. Top guy. The reception staff were plesent.

We were there for 10 nights and had an amazing holiday. Pool view room on 7th floor. Fantastic view. Room was large and comfortable and sound proof. Great Air conditioning. Fridge in Room with lovely welcome pack. Slightly dated furniture but very clean. Cleaners in every day. Beds lovely and comfortable. Quick easy check in. Breakfast was good. Plenty of choice but could be warmer. Lovely clean pool. Try to get sunbeds early as people leave towels on. Amazing rooftop bar for evening drinks with spectacular view. Alll staff were lovely and very helpful. There were 2 in particular. FRANK the entertainment guy and ELLIOT who serves drinks and food round the pool. They made our stay extra special. So friendly and we had great laughs with them. You won't be bored with Frank around and you'll make a friend for life with Elliot. We loved you guys. We would highly recommend La Barracuda and are booking for next year. Hope to see Frank and Elliot still there ☺️

Well my friend and I booked this hotel over a year ago and was so excited to stay with you. But wow not the best experience. Food cold. Rooms dirty. Some staff rude. Beds changed once in 10 days room not cleaned. Balcony didn’t get cleaned once. Over all experience won’t be going again. Far to much I could write but I won’t. Leave you to make your own minds up. Sad and disappointing
Response from Property: Dear 198helenb Thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay You have already spoken to reception about the problems you had with the cleanliness of the room and, although the hotel does not share your opinion, we have doubled our efforts to make you comfortable. In addition, you complain about the change of sheets publicly when you know as well as we do that we change your sheets several times. We do not understand the meaning of this. Management has been with the staff of each department and no one was rude to you. It is strange that in all the previous comments people praise the treatment and service of our staff and you say the opposite. We could write a lot but we will not. Let our guests write their own conclusions. Kind regards

I was sceptical when first booking as it was around half the price of the hotels nearby which I have stayed in. But I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is extremely clean and the reception staff are polite and efficient. Although I did find the pool bar staff would rather just walk past you than serve you. It wasn’t the end of the world though. The pool isn’t as nice as the other hotels but it’s more than adequate Only downside I had was I booked a pool view room so I could have afternoon sun as I needed to do some work and fancied chilling in the sun. I used a booking app to book it and paid the extra. Unfortunately when I got my room the only pool I could see was an apartment blocks next door. I was only staying one night so put up with it and I would imagine it’s the booking company that didn’t notify the hotel. I would imagine the hotel would have swapped my room if I asked. So just be aware if using a booking app that you are getting a room you paid for, Again I don’t believe this was the hotels fault and I didn’t complain as the room I got was lovely
Response from Property: Dear Andrew R Thank you for taking the time to comment on your experience We are pleased with your assessment of our facilities. Thank you for speaking well of us. Regarding the agency, there are times when online agencies make this type of mistake because they do not know the hotel and sell what is not appropriate. Or it could also have been a technical error. In any case, we apologize for the part that affects us. Kind regards
