Stayed for 6 nights in April. Liked the ocean views from my room, comfortable and clean. Friendly Staff. Diving available on site. Nice pool area and accessible to the ocean for swimming or snorkeling. MegaMart right across the street. Close to everything. I would stay here again.

Located directly on the water and downtown. Perfect scuba diving trip. You get picked-up directly from the hotel dock every morning. Rooms are very basic but clean. We dive up to 4 dives a day so did not see the room much. Walking distance to many restaurants, ferry, shopping, etc..

When I arrive the front desk tall me there have no reservation under my name and they couldn’t give me any room because there were no vacancy. I did make the reservation on line 4 weeks prior and pay for it, but as I can see they have terrible organization, no booking or software control other than a simple paper... More

I stayed at the Barracuda over Thanksgiving week 2011. Note that this is not a "resort" or luxury hotel by any means. The rooms are modest, and there aren't any resort-type services or activities. It is a great hotel if you are on the island to dive and primarily use a hotel for sleeping. If you plan to hang out... More

My husband is a diver and I'm a snorkler, so we thought we'd try the Hotel Barracuda on this trip to Cozumel. My husband had stayed there many years ago on a dive trip, and didn't have very nice things to say about it, but that had been over 20 years ago. I was sure it had been updated since... More

We have stayed at this hotel for going on 11 years. It is great for scuba divers. Dive Paradise picks up up at their pier. Comfortable rooms. No frills. Recently remodeled. Nothing for kids, homeymooners, ect... But perfect for what it is. Also walking distance from town

I have stayed at The 'Cuda many times with my buddies on long weekend dive trips. If you want bang for the buck while diving and having a great time, then this is the place for you. The 'Cuda is not plush, its not fancy, its not high-profile. If you want all that spa-oriented stuff, The 'Cuda is not for... More

I have been at the Hotel Barracuda since May 1st in Room 103. Absolutely, no sign of bed bugs during my stay. The room was very clean and is kept that way by a very efficient housekeeping staff. The hotel is located close to town. I have truly enjoyed the peace and quiet along with the ability to be able... More

This WAS my favorite place to stay in Cozumel. It's cheap, friendly, has a great location only a 3 minute walk from town, and a beautiful beachside pool/ restaurant. Albeit, it's a 2 of 5 star hotel, with the rooms sparse and basic. But it worked for the money. HOWEVER.......... We've been going here for years. However, I'm scared to... More
