Torremolinos

In the heart of tourist heaven on the Costa del Sol, the Hotel La Barracuda is ideally located in the Montemar area of Torremolinos. Just a stone's throw from the pretty marina and just next to the beach, this popular hotel is also just 2km from the charming old town of Torremolinos with its cobbled streets, shaded squares, colourful gardens and pleasant mix of shops and restaurants. The hotel is surrounded by extensive gardens and boasts everything you need for a fun and relaxing holiday.

Find out why La Barracuda in Montemar is such a popular choice with holiday makers:

There's so much to recommend La Barracuda hotel. As you sit by the pool with the sun shining amid clear blue skies, you'll have plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy your surroundings. To make the most of the weather, sunbeds and parasols are available to hire from the hotel.

Of course lounging poolside is a big part of any sunshine holiday and here at La Barracuda you'll find it's no different. As well as a generously proportioned pool surrounded by grass and shade, for serious sunbathers (or those who just want to find a peaceful corner to enjoy a book) the 10th floor sun terrace offers spectacular views in every direction. You're also sure to want to spend some time in the pool bar overlooking the sea. This is the perfect place to unwind with a cocktail and watch the sun go down as the views are simply wonderful.

If you're looking for alternative activities to sun-worshipping and swimming, why not opt for a spot of tennis – or even table tennis? Both are on offer for guests at no charge. There's also a games room and television room plus Wi-Fi access (at a fee) to stay in touch with the outside world whilst on holiday.

Accommodation at La Barracuda is all designed with guests in mind. Comfortable air conditioned rooms are well equipped with en suite bathroom, satellite TV and telephone. Your room will also have a private terrace or balcony – the perfect place to pause and plan your day or evening, or to breathe in that wonderfully fresh seaside smell that is so much a part of a beach holiday in the sun.

This is a holiday where you can get into the party atmosphere too. As well as a restaurant and two bars, every night at La Barracuda you'll be treated to some great live entertainment including traditional flamenco shows with all their colour and vibrancy. This is exactly the kind of holiday that fond memories are made of.

Good hotel, great location.

Stayed here for a short three night break. The hotel is in a fabulous location with views across the pool and the Mediterranean,( although a premium is to be paid for these rooms). The hotel is very clean in all area and the room we had was fresh and modern with a welcome bottle of Cava and a box of donuts in the fridge! My only complaint was the breakfast,it was cold and was not replenished when the trays were empty. There is a microwave but you should not be having to use it,also as mentioned before the plates are only very small, which I can only think is a food rationing order. Finally the roof top bar is a great chill out place!

Lovely hotel on beachfront

Situated on the beachfront. Close to Benalmadena marina. ( 10 min walk) . Nice large room with balcony overlooking pool and sea. Complete with fridge and t.v. with many English channels. Great rooftop bar with fabulous views but cold in the evening ( it was November). Air-conditioning also heats in room, also daily room service.
Breakfast was good with plenty of choice, both hot and continental. There are plenty of sunbeds, but I think this would be different in the height of the season. Outside hotel, you're straight on to Promenade. Right towards the marina and left towards Torremolinos . Many shops and restaurants both ways. Go away from Promenade back one or 2 blocks and plenty more, much cheaper than Promenade. All in all, i would highly recommend this hotel and will be going back.

Pleasant stay

Nice hotel, we stayed 5 nights B & B in a 5th floor room, pool side with side sea view. Being elderly and having had a bad fall in a French hotel shower I was pleased that this hotel shower and bath had a safety bar fixed to the wall. Plenty of choice at breakfast, all staff friendly and helpful. Many times previously we have stayed the other side of the headland but at this time of year that is very quiet in the evening. The Barracuda is near the marina so there are more people about in the evening but was still not noisy overnight.

Great service

Just booked 35 days Half board from 19th Nov. As a solo traveler in my seventy's i had a personal concern. I emailed the hotel and got a reply within hours from Patricia Ramos. She helped very much. Hope its as good as it looks, will let you know.

Decent 3 Star in a Fabulous Location.

First time in this hotel, but been to this resort a few times. This hotel is Spanish style, a bit old fashioned but nice & clean in a fabulous location for bars & restaurant's, beach & shops . It has a large garden & pool area,with access to the beach by a gate . The sunbeds are extremely old & uncomfortable, causing us backache the next day ,they really need renewing. Our room was clean with a comfortable mattress ,& decent size balcony overlooking Malaga. But no kettle? You can hire one though, very unusual these days. Stayed B & B , food was ok ,not always hot enough though, scrambled & fried eggs were not on every day though ,you only get a tiny tea plate for your breakfast which was a complete joke , I've never known this in ANY hotel I've ever stayed , it was like you were on rations , not right for an adult male . There was not enough staff on at breakfast, trays were empty quite often , which caused queues. The safes in this hotel are in reception, really old with a key , this proves how this hotel really needs updating to be in competition with other nearby hotels. There is plenty of room in the rooms for a safe to be added. The bathroom was clean with a good flow on the shower & also a bath if you like a soak! Also a good size fridge, but no tea or coffee. We did enjoy our stay ,we wasn't expecting the ritz, the hotel is nice & clean which is the most important for us. The rooftop bar is lovely, but if your staying on the 9th floor like us it's quite noisy from the music bass from late afternoon. We would happily return on a B&B basis as we love the location .
