Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful time at Barracuda Resort, a hidden gem that offers a peaceful retreat just a short drive from Dubai. The spacious rooms came with stunning views of the Arabian Ocean, creating a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The family-friendly facilities, including a pool and children's play area, were significant highlights. While the ambiance was tranquil, I did notice a few pesky houseflies. Overall, it’s a fantastic getaway, especially for families and pet owners, and the pricing is very reasonable.
My experience at this resort was fantastic! The management truly cares about customer satisfaction, as I noticed improvements in service since my last visit. The rooms were sparkling clean and very comfortable. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the aquapark and the sea front. On the downside, I found the dining options to be limited with the Indian food not quite meeting my expectations, but the Italian and Chinese dishes were great. Overall, the value for money is excellent, especially considering the great amenities available.
Barracuda Resort is a hidden gem offering spacious rooms with beautiful views of the lagoons and a huge pool area. The service from the staff was exceptional, particularly with how they accommodated our family's requests. However, some safety concerns for pets and children arose due to the layout of the villas. Overall, it provided a wonderful getaway for our family, but a few adjustments could enhance the experience even more.
We had an amazing stay at this resort, especially enjoying the spacious villa and the beautiful swimming pool. The staff made our trip memorable with their thoughtful gestures, though we did notice some issues with service responsiveness at times. The location was fantastic for a relaxing getaway, perfect for families and pets. However, improvements could be made regarding pet safety and service speed.
The resort is a perfect getaway for a relaxing time with friends, featuring cozy rooms and a fantastic barbecue experience in the cool night. While the setting is great for unwinding, it’s best to note that the atmosphere may not be suitable for families, given the lively bachelor crowd. Overall, it’s a fun place to visit for a short stay.
