We had such a lovely time at Cactus Beach and felt really at home throughout our stay. The whole team in the restaurant was fantastic and so friendly, but we have to say—the food was the absolute star of the show! We were honestly treated to so many divine flavors every single day. A huge thank you to everyone for making our holiday so delicious and pleasant. We truly enjoyed every moment!

“Great for families with little children”
Food great, also one dinner we had at the seaside restaurant - very nice! Ask to books “special restaurants” upon arrival to get a spot. Beach is great, baby disco and evening animation we enjoyed. Some nights were truly impressive (acrobatic trio)

“We were very disappointed that almost all additional services came at an extra cost.”
The hotel is cozy, with a clean and well-maintained territory and plenty of greenery, including their signature cacti. The food was quite tasty, and the bar menu was simply top-notch! Last year we stayed at a 5-star hotel, and even there the bar selection was smaller. Every cocktail we tried was delicious! On the positive side, I’d like to mention the convenient luggage storage room, where you can also take a shower. This is especially useful if your flight is in the evening and you have to check out at 11:00 AM — you can still enjoy the beach or the bar for the rest of the day and head to the airport feeling fresh and relaxed.

“We loved every minute at Cactus beach hotel! Thank you”
Beautiful resort with lovely architecture and gardens. All staff were amazing and incredibly kind. Our children really loved the kids club and water park. Personally I loved the clean pool, big buffet, architecture of the hotel and great atmosphere for families. We had an amazing 10 days stay with our family with two children and grandparents.

The water park for children is fun, the hotel from the outside is beautiful and well maintained. Too bad our whole experience was ruined because of the room and we couldn't sleep!!!

“Nice facilities, great food, attention to details seems to be missing.”
The food was maybe the only thing that i will miss from these facilities, the restaurant staff were very helpful. The animators were very pleasant for children. The beach is beautiful if there is no wind.

“Very good choice”
Very good quality-price ratio, smiling friendly personel, nice location- lots of small shops and eating places just next door. Coctails are more or less okay.

“Great value for money, the perfect weather helped tip the scale.”
We went at the tail end of the season so it wasn’t that busy. Enough sun beds and pools to choose from. Also very close to the beach with all inclusive bar nearby.
