Hotel Kaktus Playa

"Location pretty good near the beach only an hour from Barcelona. Atmosphere pretty good in the hotel nice lobby lovely corridor outside the room stayed on the 7th floor VIP floor apparently. Rooms very bright and airy, clean, safe wasn’t working upon arrival but was rectified within an hour or so. Shower very good rainfall shower. Standard rooms have twin beds they push together so no double beds unless you get a suite at 100s of euros more. No aircon for April so we were told, blowing out hot air room extremely hot even when it was only 20 degrees. Needs bathrobes ideally, towels are lovely. Coffee machine very good although only 4 pods and 2 creamers they provide if you want more ring down to them and they charge you 9 euros for room service to bring them up so go and get them. Spa facilities lacking tiles missing from steam room not all jets where working in the showers, pool was very small jacuzzi pretty cold hairdryers not working in changing rooms no toiletries in showers after your spa day. 10 euros for spa facilities for an hour or so. Sky lounge pretty nice pool was freezing sun loungers where nice although 10 euros for the privilege of accessing the top floor pool and 10 euros deposit for the towels. Value for money we were lucky as we paid a 4 star price but it’s not value for money if it’s the normal price. The noise from other rooms was evident and the blinds made a whiney noise being open and shut in our room and other rooms but it wasn’t unbearable. Service maids where second to none amazing helpful friendly and room was always made up in quick time. All in all a pleasant stay decent hotel location close to the beach and the train station 10 mins walk up the road along the seafront. Train to Barcelona was around an hour, regular trains around 15-30 mins wait time maximum. Overall I would say this is at best a 4 star hotel more work needs to be done to get that 5 star experience."

"Immaculate hotel absolutely loved it very clean. Friendly and helpful staff they speak good English so language barrier is not a problem. Very good choice for breakfast. A good variety of choices for all tastes. Freshly squeezed juices and barmen Ruben is the best ever."

"My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing and below expectations. The breakfast was poor, with very limited variety and basic quality. The staff were not particularly friendly or welcoming, which made the overall experience less pleasant. The rooms are very standard and do not offer anything special. Additionally, there were no extra amenities provided, such as tea or coffee facilities, and the minibar/fridge was completely empty. These small touches are quite common nowadays and would have made a difference. Overall, I was not satisfied with my stay and unfortunately would not recommend this hotel."
