Barracuda apartments

We stayed in the Barracuda from January 2 until January 30 2026. We were in apartment #3. The property was beautiful, the pool was always clean and fresh and there were several lovely places to sit in the shade to relax. We had a lovey view of the ocean. The breeze from the ocean keeps it cooler away from the town. The management will do anything for you. Danny picked us from the airport which is 2 hours from the property. He even stopped half way and bought us dinner! Either Martin or Danny were available at all times. They made you feel at home. The hotel is located outside of town, about a 15 min walk to the beach and town. However if you have mobility issues you will need a car as the last half kilometre to the property is a bit steep. I have to send a special thanks to both Danny and Martin. They literally saved my life. I was a stupid tourist who got myself stuck on the rocks between Sámara beach and Carrillo beach as the tide was coming in and I was literally trapped. I was able to call Danny and he found a local fisherman to find me and helped me swim to his boat. No one else could have saved me! I recommend The Barracuda 100% for your next vacation in the lovely town of Sámara!

No AC in the main living room

This. Beautiful luxury 7th floor apartment is located in an amazing property. All the amenities you’d expect plus more. Secure gated grounds with 3 pools, gym, meeting/business Center, plus poolside games and entertainment area complete with bbqs and dining tables for use. The unit itself is a 2 bedroom unit with new modern appliances. Each bedroom has its own ac unit, queen bed and closet space. Large dining table and sofa, washer/dryer combo, satellite tv and wifi complete the setup.

There is nothing not to like. But some instructions for the washer/dryer combo unit would be helpful

The pool area was fabulous and provided a beautiful view. The owner and staff were excellent and anytime we had questions or needed something they delivered quickly. The owner even took us on a short tour and a stop at the grocery store. The apartments are basic but large and very clean. We also liked the location as it was a 7 minute walk to the town centre but away enough to avoid the noise.

Nothing much other than the towels and dish cloths were very worn. There is also a big hill when you walk back but we appreciated the exercise.

When we turned up we found Danny to be helpful, easy going and funny. He showed us around the premises and the pool and views were fantastic.

As we took the cheaper option for the booking of the room our expectations were not high, but by the time you read this review we hope that Danny has got new pillows and sheets that fit the bed
