Just spent a week AI in the Pelicanos, found it to be everything it had been described as, great…read morestaff great food (buffet type) but good quality. This is equally a well used hotel by spainish guests and their children, and has a Flintstone theme with organised games and activities. Obviously it has a very Spanish selection with loads of salads, fish, rices & off course my favourite, paella. As we were AI, we had serve yourself White Red Rose Wine & Sangria, Larger & all the pop & fresh juices you could ask for. There was also for the plane eaters plenty of Chips Sausages etc. Ice cream fresh sliced fruit & Spanish sweet stuff fir afters, only problem I sensed was my waist size our room was large with a 40" TV, furniture was a bit dated but other rooms on our floor were updated during our stay. The entertainment at night was first class, high quality stuff with also live English & Spanish football shown in large screen areas. I really enjoyed our stay, we even saw a few of the actors from the TV show Benidorm as they were filming the new series during our stay, but you don't get near the area of the set! Just one word of warning, this hotel has 14 floors! So if you don't like heights you must make that clear when booking. We were on the 9th overlooking the Ocas hotel & pool area and that was high enough for me Overall highly recommend the Sol Pelicanos

No dirty martini but offers a lot of fruity drinks and basic beers. The rooms are clean, the guest service is friendly and efficient. There is a pool in front of the hotel and you can see the ocean from it. There dining area has direct view to the ocean and you can see it and feel the warmth. Of you want to swim in the ocean, it is not far at all which makes it a very convenient and central to everything. If you are wondering where to stay, this is your place.

We visited this hotel on an all inclusive basis for my husbands birthday. From our welcome at…read morereception til our booking out the staff couldn`t have been friendlier or more helpful. The room was not very big, but when all you are doing is sleeping there, how big do you want it? The dining room was large and the buffet and cooking stations were well laid out. The choice was great at each meal time and catered for the Brits who dont want to venture from their "chips with everything". Shame about the Yourkshire puds tho that were a little over done! The sun terrace and bar are nicely sheltered from any winds and we even took part in the afternoon shooting competition. In the evening the entertainment in the downstairs bar was good and varied, hosted by a British couple with disco and karaoke. We will certainly return to this hotel.

Enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Kaktus, which was referred to me by a local friend. First of all, as…read moremany other reviews have mentioned, it is a little dated. However, there are a few things going for the Hotel Kaktus: 1) location and 2) staff. The Hotel Kaktus is across the street from the beach and in the heart of L'Albir, which makes it incredibly convenient to restaurants, shops, and (of course) the beach. The staff is amazing, especially the front office staff. I accidentally left a bag on the tram, and the team called lost and found for me. The hotel is meticulously clean. I ended up purchasing breakfast with my stay, which was a great way to go, as I don't make decisions really well first thing in the morning. Food is available only from 8am-10am, which gives you a limited slot, but the food is plentiful and decent quality for a buffet. I wouldn't recommend eating here for dinner, as there are lots of decent options within 5-10 minutes walking distance. If you're looking to stay in, there are a few caveats I'd give. First of all, the in-house entertainment is really not geared toward younger people (which is fine). A lot of retirees stay here, which is GREAT if you want a quiet holiday. Many of the balconies overlook the ocean, which was a great way to conveniently relax. However, I would also mention that it's also heavily utilized by smokers, so YMMV if you're a non-smoking asthmatic like myself. I also loved the fact that there was a kettle in the room, which I utilized heavily during my stay. I checked out the gym while I was there, and it wasn't anything to write home about. I ended up doing most of my exercise outside the building, so it wasn't as big of an issue for me. Overall, a solid stay, and really great value for the money.
