The hotel was a little...
Location
Dated and old fashioned.
Great time.
Good location. unfortunately i did not had my breakfast at the hotel. room was nice and clean.
i loved location. neighberhood and kindness of the staff.
Very enjoyable!
Location, freindly staff, bedroom sea views, rooftop bar.
Lighting at night coming back from the beach entrance.
Hotel Barracuda; sun, sea, strolls...
- Free upgrade to a superior double room, due to low occupancy - LOCATION IS UNBEATABLE! Main promenade, beach/waterside. - Central location between Torremolinos & Benalmedina. - Balcony with table/chairs - panoramic view of the beach (sunrises & sunsets are most beautiful) - Waking up to the sound of gentle lapping waves - Room service until 10pm, meals in dining room also an option - Spotless and modern room, tastefully decorated too - Rooftop bar with panoramic view and reasonable prices - Close walking distance to Lidl & bus stops - 3 functional lifts
- Noise on first few nights from either side (drunk/angry/argumentative guests on one side and what sounded like a loud Spanish phone-call / argument on the other side). Swiftly offered a room change but thankfully the noise levels resolved. - Ordered late night room service, 14 euros for burger & chips. The burger was raw/cold/uncooked in the middle - not edible! I showed the receptionist and complained but they still charged the full €14. The sight and taste of raw mince is disgusting - please use a thermometer probe before serving to guests.
I know the hotel and...
No breakfast good location
Every thing was ok
Great hotel, we will return.
The reception staff were very helpful and nice. We had a wonderful view from our room, Room fresh and clean,Location was great.
We didn't like the armchairs in the room, they were far too low for us but I think it was our age rather than the chair.
Won't stay next time
The location of course!
The breakfast was very disappointing... No water jags, no vegan options, coffee is horrible and food quality is very low...

The staff was so nice and helpful and the hotel was right next to the beach
Not A lot

All ok

Location was amazing and staff to and roof top bar at night was stunning
Nothing
Pleasant
Spotlessly clean and great location
Staff at reception were not very friendly or welcoming. Everything you need is extra money and deposits. My colleague collecting me asked to use the bathroom in the lobby and was told no!
Very good
Loved Everything but food variety was a limited
Really nice hotel.. right near a beautiful beach. Lunch was ok but as I dont eat pork i was limited with the meals, especially the breakfast but I really enjoyed my stay
Exceptional
The matress was uncomfortable and hard
Exceptional
Its on the beach front
No bad comments
Very good
Just nice but you need to book a poolside room.
No waste bins in the rooms, strange.
Great location
The location was amazing, right next to the beach. Room clean, comfortable and cool.
Limited parking, managed to park on street outside but gets very busy due to the location next to the beach. Otherwise no other issues.
Good
Really nice well run hotel.
All fine.

Perfect location staff are friendly and helpful pool is beautiful can see the beach from your pool
WiFi doesn’t reach the pool :(
Superb
Location, just in front at the beach
We were very reluctant to go in view of Covid and the hotel unfortunately would not refund or reschedule our trip despite numerous emails so in the end we decided to go. We stayed in room 725 which was large, clean, nicely decorated and very quiet with no neighbours on either side which made our stay so enjoyable (family of 4). The hotel was also very quiet due to Covid. Room was cleaned daily. Beds were comfortable and of good size (kings). Good size pool with sunbeds available at all times. Location was perfect, 10 steps to the beach. No entertainment in the evenings but understandably this was difficult in current climate. Reasonable prices at pool bar. Beautiful sandy beach - we spent a lot of our time there. The evening meals at the hotel were hit and miss, on some nights the food was delicious but the other nights the food was very bland (? chef dependent), nevertheless the choices were good and varied. Nice breakfast and coffee! Multiple bars and restaurants within short walking distance. Wearing face masks outside and inside the hotel did not bother us at all and we got used to wearing them very quickly. Good location for travelling. We rented a car and went to multiple nearby towns including Ronda, Mijas, El Chorro. We also took a day trip to Gibraltar. Beautiful breathtaking views.
The earliest time for the evening meals was 9pm. For us, this was extremely late with small children.

Room is great size and pool bar is very good.
Location, breakfast where great and no issues at all, will be back soon.
I was too hasty in my first review. I had to leave early due to the virus & thought the hotel would not give a refund for our remaining holiday. They are going to issue a refund so I am sorry for my first review. We were having a wonderful time in this hotel. Great value for money & I hope to stay there again Thanks again for all your help
Everything perfect
Staff were lovely and friendly.
Due to corona virus. We had to get an emergency flight home while we could & unfortunately due to this we had no choice but leave 7nights early. The hotel informed us that it is not in their policy to give refunds. Our friends who also travelled home with us stayed in the Sol Hotel and where given a good portion of their money back. I just don’t feel that this was in anyway decent and I’ll know for next year who to stay with.

We had to leave because of the virus& we had not completed our stay. We hoped for a partial refund but were told no. Yet our friends were staying in Sol house beside us & they were given a refund on departure. The same virus different hotel? My daughter had a week more of her holiday also & so we are at a major loss due to our choice of hotel. Shame on the hotel
We were booked for b&b,but due to corona virus lock down we purchased bar meals and drinks,and on one occasion evening meal in the dining room.
The food quality was ok and definitely could have been warmer,and at breakfast the bacon was overcooked more often than not.
The hotel is such a nice place to stay,it’s in a great location next to the beach with nice views of the sea.It’s near everything you could want,restaurants,bars ,the marina and also shops. The place is so clean and well presented.It’s maintained brilliantly.The staff are really friendly and helpful and the hotel basically has a nice feel to it.Would recommend it to anyone.
To be honest there is nothing I didn’t like about the hotel and the rooms.
It had a good vibe
Price went up on weekeyt
Great location, friendly staff especially the bar man Antonio.
The staff and location are great. Return here time & time again and had two Christmas holiday here also.
I think they should have hand sanitizer as you enter the restaurant especially now with Coronavirus.
Breakfast abit boreing. But you only get what you pay for
A little dated. But clean good Location. Staff on reception very helpful. I will go back
Location ,
Been there about 5 times now.
Location
Nice location friendly staff good room
The food was appalling. It was always flat cold. If you like Pork or Fish ok. But very little alternative. Breakfast was always cold.
Very spread out, had to walk a bit to get out to pool. Think lay out of hotel could have been better, rather than having to go down corridor and open 2 heavy doors. Food very average, sometimes a bit dried up looking. Salads could be more inviting. Lots of fish, which is ok if u like fish all the time. Was ok.
Staff were nice and a big variety of food
Bed was shaking and banging off the wall, like the legs were going to collapse. Room service arrived at 9.30 and if you were there - you dont want room service? I dont understand? Goodbye!!
Location by the beach, lost of cafes etc with in easy walking distance
The noise from the car park that our balcony overlooked Toilet flush in our friends room didn’t work
Location was excellent
The location of the hotel is excellent, right in the middle so an easy walk either to Torremolinos or to far end of Benalmadena. Our room was the corner overlooking the promenade with a wonderful view of the sea and towards the marina. There was lots of piping hot water which meant the shower and bath facilities were great. All the staff were extremely polite and friendly. There is a great choice of food both at breakfast and dinner with a nice selection of local dishes. There was lots of choice for non-meaters which for me was great. Very reasonably priced local wines in the restaurant. The rice pudding was fantastic! A great stay - very relaxing and easy.

Verity of food
The hotel is central location + situated on the promandae beach from absolutely amazing. We had a lovely corner room with sea/pool + promandae views brilliant. We ad sun on out balcony on the morning n well into the afternoon. Upon arrival check in was fast + the lady in question was ever so helpful. We had fruit, water + a bottle of pescesso in our room what a lovely touch. Our bed was double n so comfortable ❤️The breakfast was beautiful, hot + cold + something for everyone. We really ad a fabulous time n will definitely return x
The only negative thing I have about this hotel, is that they did not have any shower facilities on our departure. Our flight wasn't until late evening + we only had the toilets to change in (no showers) I know this is minor but it's lovely to spend the last day in the sun ☀️+ get a lovely shower + freshen up before we head for our journey home. Maybe something to think about as it's a beautiful big hotel + they must have a small spare room some were
Location excellent. Pancakes left under heater lights and went like crisps.
The main course was awful. Sometimes dried out under lights although we arrived at 7pm. 7 choices - 3 fish dishes (bland) 2 pasta dishes (also bland) 1 meat very fatty and chewy. Pizza also had fish on!
Good location ,really clean lovely staff
Food was below average, breakfast was the best lunch and dinner needs more variation .Apart from that a lovely hotel would return.
Property in brilliant location. Rooms are basic. Shower good and powerful. Shower cubicle would be more handy than full size bath.
Corridors on fifth floor could be better decorated. Refresh is needed in areas.
Room was very comfy, great location on the beach, could have done with a hairdryer in the bedroom. Breakfast wasn’t particularly hot so didn’t really have it but still a very good value for money stay and would stay again
Needed a hairdryer Better selection of breakfast The juice was not nice at all
So close to the beach and also to busstop. It is surrounded by restaurants and pubs
Breakfast does not include vegetables such as cucumber, lettuce or tomatoes. It was mostly English style
The eggs were good as was the cold selection
No bath mat so safety was an issue No tea or coffee making facility No hairdryer Lots of work going on so not at all peaceful or relaxing Tinned fruit at breakfast was unacceptable
Staff where amazing and in particular the chef Jose Luis. In my opinion the food was verty good and he explained to me about the food as I have some food allergies. The hotel is nice, clean and well presented. Our room was on the 8th floor and the bed was very uncomfortable and on the last 2 nights I slept on the floor. This was the only fault of this hotel. If there were better beds i would be very happy to return.
Beds
Staff were excellent and accommodated our extra requests very well. Love the location, good to have evening entertainment in hotel if required, love outside café/ bar area. Generally a lovely hotel to stay in. Great to have TV for English speaking people, thank you.
Breakfast generally very good but think yoghurts could be better quality and would really help to have little jugs for milk for those who want tea with milk! Direct access to the outside bar/ café area at all times would be an improvement, as long-way round during hotel meal times.
Perfect location to the beach and all the restaurants and bars. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was varied and extremely nice. The rooms were comfortable clean and had a great shower.
Great location
The worst thing at the hotel was food. There was not many options to choose and only 2 types of meat to have.
This hotel need full re furb.
the whole hotel
Been many times to Torremolinos. Loads of places to eat suits all pockets.
Great location and very good value for money
Ticked every box for the amount we paid
La Barracuda has an excellent location on the promenade. Room was nice and clean with a surprisingly big bathroom. Lots of English channels on TV. Plenty for breakfast including hot and cold food.
There was some maintainance work going on, prior notification would have been helpful
Great location friendly people and the room view was just beautiful
We had an ant problem but we sprayed down some bug spray they soon went away
Good selection for breakfast Unfortunately most of the time it was cold!!
We had a good sized bedroom with a pool/beach view Only stayed on a Bed and breakfast board and it was good Our room was a good size with plenty storage fridge and tv Cooler in the evenings in November but our room was cozy with the heating on. Nice cheery staff especially Abraham.
Good hotel in a great location Would definitely go back
Liked beachfront location,bright ,clean rooms,
Nothing,nice place to stay
Location
Not a great variety of food
Breakfast at the hotel was the highlight of the day, starting with the freshly made omelette and finishing with fresh fruit and pancakes with lots more in between was great. Only disappointment was the instant coffee. But the Bar outside, once opened, made very good coffee.
There wasn't much too gripe about, coffee with Breakfast could be improved, but everything else was good.
Excellent staff. Good location. Very clean.
No kettle in bedrooms. Stayed full board. Hotel tends to cater more towards German tourist's, with regards to food.
breakfast and evening meal good choices good service
Fantastic value. At this time of year filled with Brit senior citizens of all types - old couples to single blokes with long hair and bald spot who became enchanted with and never progressed beyond sun, sea and booze in the seventies. For all that, quite quiet and relaxing and right on the seafront.
At the price, nothing.
Location was excellent
Overall very happy
we only had the buffet one night - it wasnt that great - however we looked on other nights and it looked better
buffet. entertainment
Fantastic location easy walking distance to both torromelinos centre and benalmadina. Rooms kept very clean
Glad we didn’t book lunch and evening meal with the whole booking. Tried it once and wasn’t really to our taste.
Location was great, hotel was clean and quiet. The room could do a freshen up i.e. new shower head and fresh paint. Otherwise good value hotel with friendly staff.
Breakfast
We loved the location of the hotel. On the front, overlooking the sea and the promenade. Breakfast was very acceptable with a good choice.
there wasn't much we didn't like. Some of the decor was a little tired. The communal lounge was a little small but there was no room to make it larger.
Location to the beach and bars and restaurants
Lovely hotel and great staff. We had a room on the 10th floor looking out onto the beach which was stunning aa the sun came up
Plenty of sea food resturants right the way along the prom as well as shops
Very friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were clean, daily cleaning. Very good location.
Missing heated pool in colder months.
not the best but you only get what you pay for
nicer bacon and sausage, more variety with fruit
very good
busy
More or less everything
No pool table
Pleasent hotel, simple but comfortable rooms. Nice view from the balcony. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Sometimes we also joined the buffet dinner, it cost 12EUR/person and worth the price. Luggage room at disposal if you leave late ( as we did ) First row hotel by the promenade, plenty of restaurants, chiringuitos. Beautiful beach with easy access from the garden.
The view and sunny side of hotel plus location was brilliant
Nothing
The breakfast had lots of choice something to suit everyone. The location of the Hotel was excellent so close to the beach and walking distance to shops bars and Restaurants. Great having BB1 etc on our TV as we sat in some evenings.

Outstanding view and location
Brilliant location. Good choice at breakfast.. Lovely friendly staff.. Over all good stay
beds bit uncomfortable
Cleanliness of the hotel room cleaned every day and so close to beech and shops. Room was big and beds were comfortable
Room had no sun as street facing but was manageable for a week
being able to sit outside (When the grump staff didnt lock you out )
Poor cold and very rude staff
Loved the recption staff on arrival they were so helpful, the first thing he said to me is i have a lovely room for you and it was.I Loved our room on the 10th floor,I want it all the time as with my hip i would sit on the balcony quite a bit so it was important to have a lovely view.i loved that it was centeral to both the Port and Carihuela. I would recommend it.
Only complaint was that the food was cold all the time.
Location was excellent. Breakfast not good.. Dinner was truly awful. Little selection and food always cold.
