Review by Marion R Lytham St Anne's, United Kingdom
Holiday with friends
Hotel is in a prime spot for visiting Albir, Altea, Calpe and Benidorm. Our room had been modernised and was excellent. Fab view of the beach and the sea. Restaurant had a good selection of food at each meal time. The hotel even allowed you to swap your mealtimes when Half Board. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool area, just wish there had been more umberellas available. The pool is only small in the front of the hotel, there was a small jacuzzi pool available too. A lovely area to relax. Enteryainment in the evening was more for the European guests who enjoy the ballroom scene rather than the slightly younger guests but plenty of bars and restaurants to keep you entertained locally. We would definitely visit again.

Just bad
100 sunbeds in a 500-600 capacity hotel. Out of words. Stay away.

Would definitely recommend
I had a delightful stay at Kaktus and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Yes, the décor is something out of the 70s in places but not in a run down wanting to escape kind of way. Helped by the fact that one of the cleanest hotels that I've ever stayed in.
Rooms spacious, free safe, and good wifi. Had a comfortable night's sleep in a large set of twin beds. Again, room and bathroom very clean and well presented. Yes the room isn't the most modern (green pine furniture), but spacious and somehow it works
Everything you needed in the bathroom, toiletries, hair dryer for the missus. Toilet flush was powerful which you could hear from other rooms but to be honest I'm a light sleeper but had no problems getting a good night's sleep. Except for the second night when a young couple were, how shall I put it, very enthusiastically getting to know each other. Luckily his performance was more of a sprint than a marathon so still got a good night's sleep. Apart from the occasional scraping of wooden chairs across hard floors (why not invest in cushioned pads!) noise from other rooms was minimal.
Food was generally good, except that as a veggie I was a little let down. Labelling was not great with meat dishes not marked as such. I tucked into what looked like a nice tomato salad only to find out it had sea food in it. They did do great pizzas but on a couple of occasions three types of meat ones! Also fried mushrooms for breakfast with had been covered in pancetta. I should add though that I didn't go hungry and often ate too much. Apart from breakfast (I was half board) no drinks were complimentary, which included hot or cold water for an evening (I would have liked a tea with dessert).
That said, the staff were very helpful (restaurant and kitchen) and would go out of their way to help, including organising a veggie pizza and also requests for the picnic breakfast we had on our last day to replace the fact that we had to leave early.
I did like Albir, but was grateful for a car for 3 days to explore around (Albirent). Albir is low-rise compared to its neighbour and the pebble beach might be off-putting, but the sea was clean, and its southern tip finer pebble allowing you to get in and out easier without the need for beach/sea shoes. A less mobile person might struggle to get in and out of the sea at times.
Note that this hotel does seem to attract an older crowd (Saga) and I count myself as not far off that, which made it more unfortunate to get such enthusiastic neighbours.
Sept 26 holiday
Never get tired of coming to Albir and staying at the kacktus hotel.Had a fabulous time,gets better every time we come.Very relaxed when we got home.Our room was lovely located as usual and always clean. Faran and Martin who work in the bar area and terrace,are such lovely and kind people and always go the extra mile and ensure your customers are looked after.You must be proud to have them as part of the hotels team . We look forward to returning next year.
