My partner and I have been going to the Kaktus since 2008 and it is in fact the place where we first met in 2011. I have probably been at least ten times. Staff at the Kaktus have got to know us and have proved to be very friendly and helpful. The main reason we continue to use the Kaktus is it’s huge dance floor. The weekend gets very busy with locals coming in to dance, which is lovely.

Other Hotel Information
The hotel is located opposite an attractive pebble beach and has a small garden with sun loungers.
From the Hotel Kaktus Albir, an 800-metre walk along a pleasant, level promenade will bring you to the town of Albir with its good choice of restaurants, bars and cafes. There is a Sunday market where you can browse a selection of locally made souvenirs and enjoy a taste of real Spain. Lively Benidorm, six kilometres away, can be reached by local bus from a stop 275 metres from the hotel.
Alicante airport is approximately an hour’s driveaway.
Costa Blanca
With its great beaches and ancient ports, the Costa Blanca has plenty of attractions – and a favourable climate too. Though there has been a lot of development, you can still find quiet bays, hidden coves and traditional fishing villages, while inland there are unspoilt Moorish villages. Just a short six-kilometre bus ride from Albir is lively Benidorm, with its array of many restaurants, bars and shops. Sports enthusiasts might want to try their hand at water sports, or spend time on the bowling green or tennis court. The Benidorm Palace is one of Spain's most famous nightclubs and features international cabaret acts. If you want to play a round of golf, the nearest course is at the Club Don Cayo in Altea, some 13 kilometres away. If you enjoy markets perhaps visit the weekly El Cisne flea market or Alfaz del Pi market, both just a short journey by local bus.
Those with a sense of adventure will enjoy this excursion into the unknown.

Guadalest
This tiny historic village sits on a peak between the mountain ranges. A natural strongpoint, it was used by the Moors as a fortress centuries ago – you enter the remains of the fort via a crevice in the rock. Guadalest is famous for its lacemaking and crochet work, and shops selling artisan work lie in the heart of the village.

Villajoyosa
Travel south to this beautiful seaside resort with its brightly coloured houses, designed to help fishermen find their way home. The town developed trading connections with Ecuador and Venezuela in the 19th century, importing cocoa. A chocolate industry sprang up and Villajoyosa is now famous for its particular confectionary. Enjoy a guided tour of a chocolate factory – with the opportunity to taste the product – followed by a visit to the local market.

Valencia
Drive past citrus groves and rice fields to tour Spain's third-largest city. The cathedral dates from 1262 and, lying to the right of the main entrance, in the flamboyant Gothic-style Capilla del Santo Cáliz, is what is claimed to be the Holy Grail, the chalice from which Jesus sipped during the Last Supper. Plaza de la Virgin occupies the site that was once the forum of Roman Valencia, the spot where its main north-south and east-west highways met. Beside the cathedral is the church of Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados, home to the ornate, silk-robed statue of Our Lady of the Abandoned Ones, the patroness of Valencia. You'll also visit UNESCO-listed La Lonja, a former silk exchange building dating back to the 15th century and built in flamboyant Gothic style. Please note: This excursion involves quite extensive walking with a local guide.

Moraira
Picturesque Moraira was once a coastal hamlet where the local fishermen lived and stored their boats and nets. Very little of the original settlement remains, except for the castle and the parish church, both of which have been restored and the latter considerably enlarged. The town has been developed sensitively, with strong planning control ensuring it has a very different appearance to the other coastal resorts of Spain with very few buildings more than two storeys high. Several mountain streams wind down the Moraira Valley from pine forests and converge at the coast to flow across the beach and into the sea, even in the driest August weather.
