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.
