“We stayed at the Barracuda at the end of April for my sisters hen do. All the girls thoroughly enjoyed our mad get away, especially as we booked it as last minute holidays and saved a bomb!
Rooms were clean, food was varied and good (we were all inclusive). All the nightlife was close by so we would have drinks by the pool (making the most of our all inclusive deal) and then hit the town. We never got back to the hotel much before 5 but this was fine as most of the people staying there were on hen or stag parties.
Wouldn’t recommend this hotel for families with children (haven’t got children of my own so i could be wrong saying that) as it did become rowdy at times but would definitely recommend it for couples wanting some lively night life, hen and stag parties.
We (just us girls) have decided to book again for next year, can’t wait.”

“Nice, clean and spacious pool area.  The beach was a short walk away and is sandy but at times could get rather busy as space is limited although you could catch the local bus to Alcudia 5 minutes away which has a beautiful large stretch of beach.
Nice buffet style restaurant.  There was also an a la carte restaurant which required a reservation.
Good size room with balcony.
Enterainment both at night and during the day was adult orientated.
Would recommend this hotel to older couples looking to spend their holidays at a nice hotel in pleasant surroundings.”
