  • The walk from Albir Playa to the lighthouse is a delight - not to be missed by anyone who can walk 6Km with some fairly steep hills. Well signposted, good underfoot. Start the walk at the Southern end of the playa. from Robert 
    in Orpington     Stayed at Kaktus Albir HotelApril 2007
  • Altea is a must. A very quaint spanish holiday resort and well worth a walk along the promenade. There is a no 10 bus that travels continually between Benidorm and Altea passing through Albir. The old town of Benidorm is worth a visit. from K

  • The beach is located about 5 mins away from the hotel. It's quiet with beautiful scenery and loads of restaurants around - Chinese, Italian ,Spanish etc. I eat at the Hong Kong Chinese restaurant and it was less than 6 euros. Also Lidl and McDonalds are just 5 and 10 mins walk from the hotel. If you want to add a bit of spice to your stay you could take the bus 10 which cost just 1 euro to Benidorm Centro (central) and have a wonder around the very busy beach and the streets which seems to be hyper busy during the day and night. from Oluwagbenga B

  • Well worth the walk into the old town of the next resort and climb the steep narrow roads to the church. Amazing views and what we considered to be the real Spain from Alan

  • Restaurants and shops....get your hands on a local map and head East or for the non-geographical folk, out of the hotel front (as in onto the beach and walk right along the spotlessly clean path) and up the small hill into a better selection of shops and places to eat! Regular pretty traders markets were held in the 7 days we were there and there were a nice range of restaurants to choose from as well as supermarkets. Number 10 bus takes you to Benidorm, runs every half an hour for one euro each fare. from Samantha Jane

  • A trip to nearby Altea cathedral and the restaurants around it is a must. from William 
    in Bonnyrigg     Stayed at Albir Garden HotelMay 2006
  • The tram was cheap and comfortable had a day trip to Benidorm less than 2 euros return. 1 day in Benidorm was quite enough but found a good Spanish restaurant in the old town food and atmosphere was terrific. Althea is only 20 min walk along the coast good half day visit. Or head right along the coast for a glorias walk to the lighthouse (great views) from AMDREW 
    in WORTHING     Stayed at Kaktus Albir HotelMarch 2008
  • Albir is a lively place with lots of bars and restaurants. Beach is ok but stony. If you want a good beach, try Moraira or Benidorm, both of which are golden, sandy ones! from Denise 
    in Felixstowe     Stayed at Albir Playa and Spa HotelDecember 2006
  • Albir a very nice resort. Altea a nice resort, a walk up to the church is a must. from JULIE 
    in RETFORD     Stayed at Albir Playa and Spa HotelMay 2008
  • Travel by local train was very good value for money from Richard 
    in Cardiff     Stayed at Albir Playa and Spa HotelMay 2007
  • Small town a mile along the coast - Altea - absolutely fabulous. from Jonathan 
    in Dunfermline     Stayed at Albir Playa and Spa HotelJune 2008
  • Great place to use as a base. from Savio 
    in Chertsey     Stayed at Albir Garden HotelMay 2007
  • If you can hire a car - a visit to the fonts/waterfall outside Castel is worth a visit. It worked out cheaper for us to hire car rather than pay for transfers and then bus fares or taxis to attractions. from Erni 
    in Perth     Stayed at Albir Garden HotelJune 2008
  • Get some beach shoes you can swim in cos the beach in El Albir is a pebble one and getting in and out of the sea hurts! Apart from the stones the sea is gorgeous also take a leisurely walk to Altea it's a lovely walk taking about 40min. from ANGELA
