Hotel a {{star}} a Emirato di Umm al-Qaywayn, ({{countryName}})

I usually don’t leave negative reviews, but after my experience at Barako, I felt it was necessary to warn others. We went there for a family dinner and were seated outside on the benches. Within minutes, we were swarmed by mosquitoes, which kept biting us relentlessly. It was so bad that we had to ask to be moved inside after just a short while. To make matters worse, as we were trying to enjoy our meal indoors, we spotted cockroaches crawling around. As someone who works in the health industry, I was truly appalled. A clean and hygienic environment is essential in any food establishment, and this was far from it. Cockroaches are a serious health hazard, and it's alarming that the restaurant is allowing them to be so visible. I would highly recommend that the management take immediate action to address these issues. Both pest control and proper maintenance of outdoor spaces should be a priority, as mosquitoes and cockroaches are not only unpleasant but can also carry diseases. We won’t be coming back, and I would advise others to think twice before dining here. To the restaurant: Please take hygiene and customer comfort seriously. It’s 2024—there are no excuses for this kind of neglect.

I visited from the UK with my teenage son for October half term. We usually stay at the Atlantis so I was interested to experience a quiet resort away from city. I chose this hotel because I loved the idea of sea view chalets and the bowling / arcade/ entertainment for my son. Rooms The sea view chalets are set along a thin ***** of sand, a couple of meters max at low tide. Although lacking in beach it is nice to sleep so close to the water and at first glance looking out from the room reminds me of over- water villas! The sea view rooms are the quieter area of the resort away from the main pools. Saturday night was busy with music from other chalets, families having bbq's and fishing which gave a relaxed holiday atmosphere rather than annoyance. Dining Breakfast is a buffet which catered to our tastes, pancakes, French toast, pastries, freshly made omelette and fruit. The menu for lunch, dinner and room service is the same and absolutely huge! We've had meals in the restaurant and room service pizza. Prices are really reasonable, under £5 for a kids meal and about £20 for 2 pizzas and soft drinks. Entertainment The bowling alley is brilliant, we also played air hockey and arcade games (£1 each. We haven't done water sports yet but there are people out in kayaks. Pools The pools are lovely. Lots of loungers and space, attentive life guards, clean and the right temperature. All of the staff have been so welcoming, even my son commented on the service, nothing is too much trouble. Travelling as a mum and child we feel really safe here. There's a huge bolt on the inside of the room door which is good, a private beach and security getting in which I like. Tips Water shoes for the beach and getting down to the sand as it is quite stony. Bring cash, there's some confusion about whether you can charge things to the room (it's been about 50:50). Bring a beach cover up / sarong. Lots of ladies in and around the pool fully covered, it felt a bit disrespectful to lie there in a swimsuit (from me, no one looked or said anything but I felt happier a bit covered up). My verdict...although nowhere near as glam as Atlantis, the service and setting are lovely, it hasn't cost an arm and a leg and I'm already planning to return next year! Thank you to all the staff and management for a wonderful visit.

Il posto è così bello, tranquillo e rilassante.Il servizio dell'hotel è meraviglioso. Vorremmo esprimere il nostro ringraziamento al personale di servizio Norman per averci fornito un ottimo servizio quando abbiamo avuto il nostro colazione prima, perché abbiamo solo chiesto che le uova scramblete fossero cucinate bene per il nostro bambino ma ci ha anche servito delle tazze di melone d'acqua e non ci sono sementi, e ai guardiani di vita e ai puliziari che erano così carini e vicini. Apprezziamo i loro gesti gentili nei confronti dei loro ospiti.Vorremmo anche ringraziare il receptionista per averci fornito il numero del conducente del taxi che è così bello e ci ha lasciato a casa in modo sicuro. In tutto abbiamo goduto il nostro soggiorno e certamente torneremo lì!

La nostra famiglia ha avuto una vera e propria esperienza di relax e rinfrescamento nel Barracuda Beach Resort nel luglio 2023.Da top to top to top from Mr. Hari Krishnan - G.M to floor cleaner everyone was the best to serve us. È solo una telefonata e il servizio desiderato è al tuo passo di servizio.È stata la mia migliore esperienza per la prima volta che ho avuto negli ultimi 18 anni di soggiorno negli Stati Uniti. Scappa a tutta la squadra di Barracuda e a tutti quelli dietro le scene, dando al loro ospite il sorriso grande e l'esperienza eterna mentre guida a casa. Grazie a Dio sempre. Grazie & Miglior guardia Deepak Rohira & Famiglie.
