Great value hotel, worth considering. Clean, modern hotel priced at mid-range.Close to beach and also to town. Decent sized rooms in interesting style. All staff were really helpful and friendly [ special mention for our waitress Dado] Buffet breakfasts and dinners were varied and plentiful, really delicious. Drinks surprisingly reasonably priced. Nice pool area. Because of location the views from balcony weren't great but that shouldn't really matter much [ how much time do you spend on your balcony anyway?] and I would certainly stay there again if I return to Calella. My only real criticism would be the fairly mediocre evening entertainment .. .

Coach trip Oct 25. Overall an enjoyable experience , hotel close to sea but a bit far from town centre. Rooms and public areas fine , food choice good friendly atmosphere with live entertainment at night .No complaints overall... .

Needs improvement. Staff were extremely friendly but slow. Food was fantastic. In the suite rooms. King size bed is false advertising. It is 2 single mattresses on a single frame. I sat in the middle of the bed and was immediately rocked to the left side as the mattresses were uneven. Multiple light switches in the room had led issues and lights in the hallway were flickering constantly. Elevator was jerky and extremely slow. In my opinion does not meet 5 star standards. .

Nice location, food service. Still at the hotel so can give a very fair justified review. Rooms - great little layout, although a little cramped. Great sea view with balcony. Breakfast - nothing is labelled, so some items you don’t know what is in them. However, the worst of it is, there is not enough spatulas/tongs per food plate. So tongs get used on numerous items, from meat to vegetables. Incredible how this hasn’t been raised an issue before with cross contamination, especially for any vegetarians/vegans. Coffee - is coffee machine based. Using pods, which in my mind is so wasteful in terms of packaging. Location - 5 minute walk to beach, pool downstairs is nice, loses sun around 16:00. Beach is great, very deep water straight away so if you are a weak swimmer, be careful.. .

Good hotel and good value. I stayed at Kaktus Hotel Kaktus Playa and really liked the hotel. It did all that I wanted it for and would not hesitate to stay there again if I ever go back to Calella. The staff were good and the hotel was clean. It is not a criticism but my only surprise was that the indoor bar area was never busy? Maybe it is earlier in the season? However it didn't bother me as there are many other bars to visit nearby.. .

Not For English Fussy Eaters, But..... I have just returned from the Kaktus Playa Hotel in Catelonia having been there as part of a coach tour with Parrys International Tours. I will keep my review solely on the Hotel. My wife and I stayed in room 409 on the 4th floor. The room was spotlessly clean with a nice large bed. Sky, BBC and GB News channels on the TV and a fridge and safe in the room. Nice walk in rain shower with and a separate hand held shower which sadly didn't work, the push button for this had apparently seized up. We didn't complain about this as it wasn't much of an issue. We had all inclusive drinks from 6pm until 11pm but with limited choice which was nice as the drinks were quite expensive, that said we only had about 3 drinks each evening. Onto the food, I am a very fussy eater so for me I struggled each evening for something to eat, it was largely Mediterranean food and I am a plain English food eater. There was a choice of 2 soups each evening, a blended soup and a consomme, salad galore and a good buffet choice. The blended soup always tasted very bland and needed to be seasoned more but everyone else was very impressed with the choice and quality of the food. Breakfast was always a good choice too but typically Mediterranean style, the usual buffet type. The hotel staff were all very friendly and hard working. The view from our room wasn't much to shout about, we faced a youth hostel and a couple of souvenir shops. There was some noise from the road but it wasn't too bad. If there had been more English type food for me Id have given it 4 stars and a better view would have made it 5 stars. If you're a foodie you won't go wrong here.. .

Another great stay at one of the most friendly hotels I've stayed at. This was our 3rd stay in Kaktus Playa, this time as part of our honeymoon tour of Spain. Once again, we had a lovely stay. The rooms are clean, the food is good and the staff are really friendly. My only criticism of the hotel is that sometimes the breakfast buffet food is only warm rather than hot but was tasty all the same. The food at the pool/Sky Lounge is great. A special mention must be made for Celia and Oriol who are really friendly and looked after us so well during our stay. We'll definitely be back and are looking at dates for next year.. .

. Hôtel bien situé, chambre correct, petit déjeuner et dîner très bien pour un buffet, dommage pas beaucoup de transats à la piscine pour le nombre de personnes, du coup obligé d'aller à la plage où il faut payer pour un transat. Parking hôtel assez cher . .
