I had a blast. I traveled by myself. I met a ton of people because I dove 17 tanks in 6 days. What a trip! Everything was as expected (that's the reason for the 5 stars). This is NOT a 5 star place...it is a 2 star place...but that is what I expected. Check-in was easy (Jennie was working the... more

I loved my stay at the Barracuda: good price, great food at the bar, nice ambiance, the beautiful and friendly women bartenders in "the no name bar", and great owners, nice and clean pool area. I felt like I was part of the family. Sure the cruise ship staff shows up when they are in port., but if that annoys... more

Went to Hotel Barracuda with another couple for a week of SCUBA diving and relaxation. The room was small, but was all that we needed with bed, dresser, storage chest, refrigerator & TV with cable (with some english speaking channels for those of us who don't remember our HS spanish). The bathroom was also tiny, but had a roomy shower... more

I have been diving in Cozumel for 14 yrs now, & have spent many trips at the Barracuda. This was my 1st trip back since Hurricane Wilma hit . The Barracuda was rebuilt and a pool was built in the center of where the beach/yard was. Unfortunately the pool & bar area is a public bar now & that has... more

We just returned February 14 from a 2 week stay at the Barracuda. I wanted a room on the water with a balcony like that of Caribe Blu where I stayed last Christmas. I would have stayed at Caribe Blu, but their hotel was full. Still, at the Barracuda, which provided a balcony for every room, I got the very... more

Had a very enjoyable time at Barracuda. The staff was very accomadating and the rates were great. The rooms were average but they did have air con and a fridge which is nice after spending the whole day in the sun. As for security and leaving your valubles in the room, I had no problem leaving it there. You can... more

Really Good: The 3rd story balcony view alone was worth the price of the room! The view really makes it seem like a special vacation. Easy walk to town and to the local supermarket, close to Rockn Java. The staff was friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff did a great job with our room. For the first time in about... more

I had not stayed at this hotel since my first trip to Cozumel 15 years ago. For the most part, it has not changed all that much. The rooms are adequate and clean, with small refridgerators, A/C and cable tv, but NO phones. The hotel is a short walk from town and great food, shopping. The best part is that... more

We just returned from a week in Cozumell.My wife and I have been to Cozumel 4 times and this last time was by far the best trip yet. The staff at the Barracuda Hotel was the best. The rooms are clean , the air is cold, and the view was great. The No Name Bar and restaurant was first class... more
