Hotel La Barracuda

Just returned from first ever visit to Torremolinos and the La Barracuda. (Both in our early 70's) but think we are 45! What a great Hotel and location. Stayed B & B. Doesn't matter to me what star rating it says, I'll say it as I see it. There was plenty of Choice at breakfast, you couldn't wish for better staff, from reception to Housekeeping and Bar and Restaurants, all cheerful and helpful. Very clean hotel. We asked for a room with a walk in shower, I know some are baths and some walk-in. I emailed them a few week before arrival and they accommodated us. One day after Breakfast they completely refitted the whole of the servery unit with a large island servery, which was ready for the evening meal sitting, very impressive. With little disruption to guests. All in all a Highly recommended Hotel. Will stay again.

We loved the place ,only downside was shower in the bath ,as we are both in our sixties and my partner has hip problems it was unusable by us. We loved the roof bar but it was exspensive ,the rooms were clean ,bed was very compfortable,and local taxis were really cheap. Local bars are plentiful,and enough supermarkets in area ,to have 1 each lol.Will be back deffo ,oh and all staff were ace,partically in restaurant

Still an hour before check-out but writing this review to ensure the great experience is recorded. Location: close to the e beach. One can see the sea from the poolside. There’s adequate beds for all, but was here when it was still slightly on the cool side. If you like sunrise, the poolside gate that leads on to the beach promenade make it easy to catch it everyday. Four out of five, I watched the sunrise. One day it rained (only in the morning). Make sure you pay for the balcony facing the poolside/sea. It is worth it if you like a relaxing holiday with nice views. It’s a small extra to pay for great value! Breakfast: great selection. Cooked English breakfast, bread, cheese, veg, fruits, cereals, etc. Unlimited. Get your own cutlery but this is fine with us! Spacious restaurant. Service: Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Room: very clean, daily clean (or miss it if you wish), power shower, balcony is good size, crisp clean linen, table, chairs. No kettle in room but can be rented. We didn’t! Entertainment: evening musicians, some dancing too! Bar open til late. Activities: so much to do from here. Great base. Taxi (€5-6) or bus (€1.20) to Torrelimos station. Taxi station a minute walk. Bike rental just outside the hotel. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Customer profile: all ages, many are older adults and couples; yuppie couples and couples with children. It’s a great mix and I love this as it makes it normal. Will recommend to friends who see value! Four stars because the place was still in the process of waking up from winter. I think spring/summer, it can be a five! Thanks to all staff of La Barracuda.

The location of this hotel is superb. You get the best of both worlds staying here. Benalmadena to the right and torremolinos to the left. Not far to walk and it is all flat. Hitel itself is great. The food is probably one of the best I've had in a long time, they actually season the food. I'm on floor 8 with a side sea view and it's worth every extra penny I paid. The weather for March is exceptional. I dreaded coming thinking it would be cold but it's hitting the 20s during the day. It is a bit chilly of a night time but nothing major. Would I stay again? Absolutely. Disregard bad reviews, come see it for yourself. I think some people expect 5 star when it clearly isn't 5 star.

An Amazing hotel, with very friendly staff, the Rooms are bright airy, and roomy..the food was 1st class,.We had the best break, and was all down to the Staff, .From the 1st point of contact,in reception..the Restaurant staff the Cleaners, all very Helpful,and always ready to help..We stayed in an Ocean View Apt, and was well worth the extra Money, we pad…the Location is perfect, only minutes from Marina, lots Bars,Shops, Restaurants, on your doorstep, if I was to make some suggestions, to Improve, it would be to have safes in the Rooms, rather than having to use the special room, near reception

I had never stayed in Torremolinos before however other parts of the Cost del Sol. I liked the look of this hotel when doing some research so decided to book up for my 11 night break in February 2026. The hotel is just down a slight hill (roadway) from where you get dropped off with the Coach from the airport. I received a warm welcome on arrival and I said to the very pleasant young lady I was dealing with that I had paid extra for a side SEA VIEW so I hope that is what I had been allocated. She told me I had been allocated what I had paid for. I was on the 9th floor, I was very delighted with my big room which was very comfortable and a nice balcony which got the sun the entire day so that was even more of a bonus !!! The bathroom was not huge but most certainly adequate and it had a GOOD shower over the bath which was great. They provide a fridge which is great, you can hire a kettle if need be for your early morning cuppa before going down for breakfast. I had a little Travel Kettle which I took with me and that was just wonderful. I was VERY SURPRISED AND DELIGHTED WHEN I checked in the fridge to see that I had been left a lovely bottle of Fizz and a litre bottle of water plus some nice tasty cakes!! What a lovely welcome and it was VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. Thank you ! All the staff that I had contact with including the lovely housekeeping staff who did a wonderful job were very friendly. I therefore was so, so surprised to find that the staff working in the restaurant area were ANYTHING BUT FRIENDLY unless they KNEW YOU it seemed !!! I was on my own and only one young lady spoke to me on no more that 2 occasion over my 11 night stay !! I was B&B and although there was quite a verity of food for breakfast both cold and hot it was NOT OVERLY SPECIAL I thought !! As far as the hot food was concerned it was ANYTHING BUT HOT but that is how it was end of story. Lots of lovely restaurants close by to go to for an evening meal which was good. Would I return to this Hotel again in the future I may well certainly do that if the price is right. Would I recommend it well you know we all have different tastes so I would say if you fancy the area and it is right on the beach give it a try. Pay extra for a side sea facing room it is wonderful.
