Beautiful setting but this is NOT a beach resort. If you are looking for sand and ocean swimming, this is not the place. More like mangrove mud. Pool is amazing but was so cold we could not swim. Room was lovely but bed was very hard. Great balcony overlooking pool. Be prepared to spend a lot of money in the only 2 restaurants on site or pack your own food. If you have mobility issues, ask for a ground floor room. There is no elevator.

A family trip away from city

having stayed before did not expect too much , basically a out of city experience was the motive , however to my surprise the quality has definitely improved and the food served is good. though there are small points to note like the swimming pool was very chill in cold due to no temperature control, it was a pleasant trip.

We stayed for one night. Had one bedroom chalet and two 2 bdr chalet. All were spotlessly clean, but basic. No complaints. Reception staff was very efficient and friendly. Swimming pool cleanliness and security around it were very good. Kids had a fantastic time in the pool. Overall I highly recommend it for a quick getaway.

Barracuda is going under Big Construction. The staff are very friendly, rooms are clean. If you want tospend a quiet weekend, this hotel is not for you. People Barbeque all over the place. highMusic is played by some guests disregarding others feelings. This hotel can be good place to stay at if strict rules applied.
