Lemon & Soul Cactus Garden

I chose this hotel based on the fantastic reviews on Trip Advisor... however I was quite disappointed by the reality. This hotel is as average as it gets. It is clean, friendly and in a reasonable location (right by the beach) but it is not anything special or luxurious. The location was quite boring, the bars and shops nearby are not very exciting, but that may be due to the time of year we have visited. All the bars were empty and there wasn’t a great atmosphere walking around the little town. The beach next the hotel is fantastic, and if you’re looking for a simple beach holiday this is a great option. We enjoyed lots of water sports at reasonable prices too - jet skis and scuba diving were fantastic! I usually like to spend holidays sat by the pool, but I found myself bored within a few hours. The music is mind numbing, there is not a great choice of bars and they are very basic, with heavily watered down alcohol and overly sugary drinks. This is not somewhere to spend your day time in the hotel. The entertainment was the kind you would expect on a “60+” holiday. Bingo, karaoke, nothing entertaining for younger people or children. Luckily I didn’t bring any children with me, they would have died of boredom! However, one night there was live music on the roof terrace - that was beautiful and we deeply enjoyed it. More like that please, hotel managers! The food - plain and boring. There was lots of it, it was clean, and there was plenty of choice... but nothing special. Again, inoffensive and average. Promo room was nice, but without a balcony which wasn’t made clear on booking. This room was clean, spacious with comfortable beds. Clean and well maintained, but a rubbish shower (changes temperature every 2 seconds) and mould around the shower basin. Spa is fantastic, I enjoyed a wonderful massage. Overall this is a budget holiday for an older couple for a few days by the beach. This is the kind of hotel you enjoy a good sleep in, and then spend the day and evening somewhere else! Young couples and families should look elsewhere. Clean and pleasant but boring and basic.

Just returned from our 2nd visit and it was as good as the 1st. Hotel is spotless and staff friendly. Karen in the restaurant is a credit to the hotel, always smiling and so hardworking. Great little hotel for a week of relaxing, stunning beach 5mins away with a good variety of shops and bars (Oasis do wonderful cocktails). Food was very good. Shame the rooftop bar isn’t open later and hotel would benefit from getting better entertainment. Would definitely return for another week of relaxation.

I can’t comment on the hotel at all as when I arrived on the 7th of October I was informed there was no room for me ?.I received no explanation of why but informed I’d been relocated to another Hotel. I had also booked this hotel Months in advance not impressed at all.
