Maybe next time...

Hotel itself has great location, very clean and friendly staff. Bed was beyond horrible, I've stayed in many hotels on Coz. This is, by far, the worst bed I've ever experienced. Even after buying a pad from Mega, still miserable. That said, everything else about the hotel was great for a diving couple.

Perfect hotel close to downtown and snorkeling out back door!

We wanted to be close to the downtown and are not into the resort style places. This hotel had everything we needed, ac, view of ocean, dive services, pool and bar and the snorkeling stairs were perfect for our 3 and 5 yr old. Wireless was available down at the pool. The super market was right across the street, car rental next door, what more did we need? The staff were always polite, accommodating and helpful. We even lost our camera in the rental car the night before we left. The hotel staff, went next door, found the camera and even shipped it to me in California!! Wow, I was so impressed! Please, do not even hesitate, perfect place!

They took my money out of the office safe

They stoled $1598 out of the envelope they provided to put in their safe. After I called the police and yelled at the manager several times they gave me my cash back. It was on the last day of the trip and ruined my nice vacation feeling. They had to pay because I had a reciept according to the police. The manager agreed to pay the dive shop the $1000. I had to yell before he finally gave me my money. That is not good business.

The more you know....Helpful Tips

We had a great experience overall. This is an nice hotel in Mexico. It is not a resort. In my opinion you don't see much of the country if you stay at a resort. It is walking distance from the tourist shops and has a grocery store right across the road. All the rooms have 2 full size beds, a mini refrigerator, and a air conditioner unit. They do not have wash clothes or TV remotes. There is a bar next door that serves the hotel guest but they are pricey. On the other side is a scooba/snorkling rental, not sure about their prices. The staff was always nice and pleasant. The hotel has a pool, always clean, in the back with a bar. And they have a little area with lay out chairs. They have a dock for boat to pick up the scooba divers. They also have steps down to the water for anyone wanting to swim or snorkle. A few doors down is a restuarant called "Jeanie's". They offer 15% discount to Barracuda guests. We plan to go back and will definately stay here.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

The grocery store across from Barracuda have great exchange prices. You can bargain at the tourist shops and with taxi cabs...but when the cruise ships are in, the taxi drivers won't bargain as much. One day the cost might be $3 but when the ships are in, they want $12 to the same destination. if you get off the main strip, the taxi driver's will negotiate or give cheaper prices. If you rent a scooter or car and have to refill on gas, make sure they start out at $.00 on the pump, sometimes they will try to charge you for the previous customer. Bring a little calculator with you. that way you can calculate the exchange rates, they are different wherever you go.
