I stayed at Kaktus Hotel Albir for a week from 17 June 2026, travelling with Saga. I had a few concerns due to reading some negative reviews beforehand, but I honestly don't understand what some people are complaining about as my experience was all positive and I had a great holiday. I have seen some complaints about the hotel being old fashioned but, in my view, this added to its charm. It was much nicer than the bland, modern box type hotels. There is an unusual and (I think) quite beautiful circular internal staircase to all the floors, and all the rooms appear to be slightly different. This is by far the cleanest hotel I have ever visited! It was absolutely spotless everywhere. My room was large and very comfortable with lots of storage space. The food was lovely, particularly the salads. I am a vegetarian and I never had any trouble finding something nice to eat. The cleaning staff, reception staff and bar staff were all very pleasant and helpful. I only have one slight criticism and that is on several occasions I had to wait a long time in the restaurant before I was served with a drink. The drinks service was excellent for the first few days when an older man was at the door, he seemed to be in charge and directed the staff, but then a different person took over the role and it was not the same. I sometimes felt I was invisible to the waiters. It did not spoil my holiday though - I had a brilliant week there and I will definitely return to this hotel.
Lovely hotel situated overlooking the beach , rooms could do with updating though . Reception staff lovely , extremely rude Maître d’ at breakfast time , only negative .
Me and my wife have stayed 2 times at this hotel. Yes the furniture needs to be updated, and I heard from staff that is coming this winter. The hotel is clean, the staff is very nice and friendly. Front desk staff is very helpful and assisted us with everything we needed.
I look forward to my next visit
We loved our stay at the Kaktus hotel Albir. Wonderful location and excellent hotel. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Excellent breakfast spread with something for everyone. Pool and bar areas were excellent and well maintained every day. A lovely holiday and looking forward to our return.
Lovely spacious hotel, cleanliness of a very high standard and obvious to see that all staff work hard to maintain high standards. Well positioned on the promenade and close to restaurants and bars. Good sized rooms which were thoroughly cleaned daily and plenty of cupboard/wardrobe space. Buffet food was varied and good, whilst staff in the dining area were polite and kept tables cleared effectively. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
