All

One star is for location. All other is terrible. Property is old and outdated with maintenance problems. But this was expected. Main problem is that beach, you can see in property description is now rented to a bar, which specialized on Cruise Ships crew. So, it is always crowded with very loud music and fish n chips smell all around. Good luck if you want to take a nap in the afternoon, or intake a fresh air. Second - WiFi very slow and unstable, disconnecting every 5-10 minutes. Cleaning - means just making a bed. Save your vacation, do not stay there.

Central, close to downtown, dive shops and great pool bar!

Very dated. Had to go to Maga and buy wash clothes as none were provided. No elevators ! Beautiful views is the positive.

The rooms are not fancy, but exactly what I look for in accommodations for a scuba diving trip. Rooms are clean and cool. The bar on the grounds is a little noisy and boisterous when the cruise ship staffers are there, but gets quiet before 10:00pm. All things considered, a fun place to stay and convenient to everything.

We stayed at this Property around 25 times in the last 35 years. We love it. Nothing fancy, but it’s right on the water and dive boats pick you up from the dock. The pool is wonderful with a swim up bar.

Great location. 11 minute walk to the main plaza and almost across the street from an excellent cocktail pub…. Welcome to Miami for the best mojitos I’ve ever had. Also across the street from the Mega supermarket

It was what I expected for the price. The location was what it was about and that did not disappoint.

Love this place and will be back next year again

Loved the direct access to the water to snorkel.

Manage has hidden fees and taxes to take more money from you. You are also responsible for air condition remote and TV remote. The pros is the Mega and good restaurants near by. Beware

I like how close it is to the town, plenty of eating options close by. Grocery store across the street. I like the pool/bar and simple rooms. I don't like the horrible mattresses. They are all bad. The bar music sucks and is really loud until late.

Staff is so very caring and accountable. View spectacular! Gregory is the Best!

I loved the ocean view

It was a wonderful stay! Helpful staff, friendly, clean, a bit old, but we loved it! We had a second story room with balcony overlooking the sea, about 15 feet away. No beach, but sandy area with loungers, tables, ool, and bar.Close to city center, large grocery store across street, helpful tour guide, luggage help. Beat my expectations, miss it already!!

Check in took a long time and after asked for 2 dollars US per night for some island improvements tax. If is well needed since there is garbage everywhere. It’s survived is based on the cruise ships that came in daily, not going back for sure.

Nice little hotel for the price Service was great and close enough for us to get around to all the shops Little noisy but willl definitely stay again Thanks to Aj,Carmen,Jose and knorky for the best service

I love the Hotel barracuda with the exception of the very loud pounding music all day.

We like it the 🏨 they let us in early and we are happy!

As soon as we checked in we were asked to pay additional fees which caught us off guard since we thought everything was included when we paid online. Also, this property has no elevators, so you have to carry your luggage up the stairs. The rooms are outdated but the views make up for it. The so called rainfall shower has no pressure & took forever to wash out the shampoo from my hair. They give you a remote when you check in for the tv & ac unit. If you let the bar downstairs by the pool know your from the hotel they give you half off of food & drinks. If you plan on renting a car you're able to park it across the street at the Mega overnight. We were able to see the car from our room incase we needed to check on it. The location of the hotel was nice since you are able to walk to most places. The bar downstairs would close by 11pm most nights. So the music & people partying didnt bother me since I knew it wouldn't go on all night. No Name Bar was showing all the football games in english, but if you prefer to watch it in your room they had it in spanish only. If you're able to get snorkel gear I recommend snorkeling right by the hotel before the crowd starts to gather for the day. Most nights we would just go to the Mega & buy beer/ice and take our ice chest up to the room and hang out on the balcony. FYI, this hotel has no ice machines or microwaves. Overall, I would recommend staying here for the views & convenience of having everything in walking distance.

Great location on the water with pool swim up bar!

Good downtown location,walking distance to everything ,clean ,great staff ! Ocean front ! Good place for the money

Close to everything . No name bar is fun.

For what we paid for it suitable

beautiful waterfront ,walkable to town , grocery etc. and missed 1st night due to plane mechanical & they said expedia would give us a refund.in an email. 2@nd request to expedia and no response from expedia. WE did not like that the place next door that is connected to hotel w/ uses their pool told us happy hr 5-9 every night. Got it 1st night. 2nd night ordered & waitress took order and verified it was 2 for 1 . We did not get it so talked to cashier and she said mgr said for last night only.. Manager then told us something different..only for locals. 3 different stories about the same thing with 15 minutes.We reported it to the hotel. I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING LIED TO AND FOR reason that reason we will never stay there again.

Loved loved waking up to the beautiful views and the sound of the ocean, being able to walk out and dive in and snorkel!

Front desk staff is rude, and seems bothered even when asking for something as simple as towls. Rooms are dated, mattresses are flat and wore out. You can literally see and feel the springs. Bedding isnt changed, only made.

For us? It’s all about location! Hotel Barracuda is literally bare bones… ac & cleanliness are THE amenities.

This hotel has a serious cleaning issue. The fridge looked dirty. Bed sheets, pillowcases and towels had stains all over. Do they even wash these? Our room had trash under the bed and behind the nightstand, and as I soon as we went into the room for the first time, we saw a dead bug on the floor, clear proof they don’t clean rooms thoroughly when guests leave. They don’t mop the floors. The cleaning person came during morning cleaning and “cleaned” the room in about 5 minutes. Barely cleaned the bathroom. We had to tell the person about the trash under the bed and behind the nightstand, otherwise it was going to stay there for who knows how long. We saw cockroaches. Yes, multiple baby roaches. And we saw a big flying cockroach. Fridge had multiple baby roaches. Saw baby roaches on the nightstand as well. As I said, this hotel has a serious cleaning issue. We also saw something that looked like a gecko. This one came from the hallway. It went in through the gap under the door. They need to seal these gaps. The shower water pressure is too low. On the first day some type of black stuff was coming out of the bathroom sink faucet. No idea what it was but I refused to use that water to wash my mouth. No hand towels, and no bathroom carpet when we arrived. AC could be better. It did its job but it felt like it took a while to cool the room.

The owners do not care about this property! turn Down.

The best part was the view! Just gorgeous! The hotel is very clean and the staff is very nice. We like snorkeling and this place is absolutely perfect for it ( our kid is 11 and loved it). The interior is a bit outdated, but the AC and the fridge worked perfect. We will be staying in this hotel again.

There was no shampoo in the shower, and possibly the lunpiest beds I've ever tried to sleep on. The pool was great, staff was great as well.
