There's so much to recommend La Barracuda hotel. As you sit by the pool with the sun shining amid clear blue skies, you'll have plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy your surroundings. To make the most of the weather, sunbeds and parasols are available to hire from the hotel.
Of course lounging poolside is a big part of any sunshine holiday and here at La Barracuda you'll find it's no different. As well as a generously proportioned pool surrounded by grass and shade, for serious sunbathers (or those who just want to find a peaceful corner to enjoy a book) the 10th floor sun terrace offers spectacular views in every direction. You're also sure to want to spend some time in the pool bar overlooking the sea. This is the perfect place to unwind with a cocktail and watch the sun go down as the views are simply wonderful.
If you're looking for alternative activities to sun-worshipping and swimming, why not opt for a spot of tennis – or even table tennis? Both are on offer for guests at no charge. There's also a games room and television room plus Wi-Fi access (at a fee) to stay in touch with the outside world whilst on holiday.
Accommodation at La Barracuda is all designed with guests in mind. Comfortable air conditioned rooms are well equipped with en suite bathroom, satellite TV and telephone. Your room will also have a private terrace or balcony – the perfect place to pause and plan your day or evening, or to breathe in that wonderfully fresh seaside smell that is so much a part of a beach holiday in the sun.
This is a holiday where you can get into the party atmosphere too. As well as a restaurant and two bars, every night at La Barracuda you'll be treated to some great live entertainment including traditional flamenco shows with all their colour and vibrancy. This is exactly the kind of holiday that fond memories are made of.

Our stay
Me and my boyfriend stayed at the barracuda hotel for 8 days at the beginning of June, we stayed in a frontal sea view room and were half bored. When we arrived we paid the extra money for the frontal sea view which was 97 euros and it was definitely worth. We really enjoyed our stay and the location is perfect but the hotel does have a few let downs. The breakfast was always very good and gave you plenty of choice however the dinners were always cold unless the meats are cooked in front of you but if it isn’t then the food won’t be hot even the specialty meat they had on offer that they cut up for you is cold which is very disappointing also most dishes are labelled very well which is concerning. The bar staff can be great but sometimes they can be rude, my boyfriend ordered some lunch at the bar just some chips and was left waiting fifteen minutes then he enquired to one of the barmen and was told it hadn’t been put through to the kitchen. The pool area is lovely but the pool itself needs some TLC as a lot of the tiles have come off. The day entertainer was amazing and so fun we loved him. The cleaners were outstanding and cleaned our room excellently. Oh and I must not forget to mention the rooftop bar it’s absolutely amazing and the drinks were delicious. Overall we would stay at the barracuda again but only bed and breakfast and definitely with a frontal sea view room.
Good history
Excellent hotel. This is are 3 time in 2 years. We will be coming back in September. We did have a issue with the food but not no more. The management does listen and on genuine comments does something about it. Great pool. Location for shopping and beech Excellent. What's not to like. We will be requesting floor 7 sea view . They never disappoint. See you soon. Good luck to the man who after many years has retired.
Another great stay
We stayed for the first time in January, we returned in March & have today (26/06/2026) just returned from another stay. We will be staying again in October so obviously like it. Our 2 previous stays were Half Board but this time we just did B&B, mainly due to the vast number of places to eat nearby. We prefer Lunch as our main meal and tend to eat about 3-4pm so thought it would be best. Have noticed that they were doing Full Board, not sure if that's just for those who book direct & for the summer season, but it is an option. The only downsides are that the WiFi only works inside the main Hotel, not in pool area or even rooftop bar ( which is a terrific place for a drink ). There is no air con in public areas, unless it is on too high!. Another great thing we spent a day on the Balinese Beds, these cost 20euros for 2 which includes a bottles of prosecco and snacks, there are other options. It was worth it. Also we could leave towels without them being taken away, as you pay for all day usage. I was pleased to see that they do act on towels reserving normal sunbeds & no sign of the inhabitants because they have decided to go on a shopping spree! All the staff are lovely, helpful and happy, although checkout this morning was funny as man thought we were asking for a taxi & we wanted to store our cases whilst we had breakfast, soon sorted. All in all another lovely stay and looking forward to next time.

Best hotel!
Stayed at the Barracuda many times before, and as always, we loved it there again. Staff are superb, especially on reception, had a fabulous room overlooking the pool, and the rooftop bar has a stunning view of Málaga, Torremolinos and towards Benalmádena. See you again in September
