Great beachfront hotel at a good price.

I was only there for one night but I would stay again. I loved the balcony with ocean view and rooftop bar with couches and great views. The pool looked nice but I didn’t get a chance to use it. I would book it again for the price.

La Barracuda Stay

A very nice and clean Hotel. Breakfast was excellent. I would recommend either a sea view or pool and sea view room, it is worth paying the little extra. Roof Top Bar is also a great advantage to staying at this Hotel. Would definitely stay there again.

Great hotel, with all you need

Our experience was very pleasant. Hotel is well located, easy access to nice bars, restaurants and shops. The food was good, great variety. We had breakfast and dinner. Dinner had options of fresh cooked meat, which added a nice option. The staff was superb, special thanks to Nadia , from the restaurant staff , who was always with a nice smile. The hotel also has evening music, either on the poolbar or rooftop bar, which added some fun for the nights we didnt want to leave.
