Beautiful location on the busy promenade; Perfect to watch the sunset. Friendly staff. Ordered the chicken Fajitas and they were delicious. Only downside is the toilets which smell quite unclean. But overall a great restaurant with good prices!

Great bar! Fantastic sea views and fun atmosphere. Live music was really good and drinks were reasonable. Table service was quite slow but there were 14 of us and it was busy so maybe an us problem.

I visited Blue Cactus with my wife in may and was very impressed. We got the $30 mixed meat grill that came with 1li of sangria. The food was very good quality, the atmosphere was nice. The service was a tad slow but they were busy and it's a holiday afterall, I don't have to be up in the morning. Live music was also enjoyable. That all topped off with a great view of the sunset, what's not to like. I'll definitely come back. And recommend.

Great food, great service and nice view. We had the schrimps and avocado salad, dorada fish, paella with sea food and fish soup. The portions were too big and could not finish them.
