This property was beautiful and the area was beautiful. We would definitely come back. We loved the view from our room. I would rate the property as a 5 star. The only things I would say that differs from most 5 stars we have stayed is your luggage being taken to your room for you. Really small detail but is a above and beyond service you expect from 5 star

Altea

A nice hotel maybe not the greatest location as it's located at the far end of Altea. Taxis took on average 20 to 30 minutes wait time's to and from the old city. Hotel staff was friendly. Pool area was nice except the 3 days of filming with drones flying over you and the film crew were annoying. Buffet for breakfast and dinner had a nice selection.

The stay was really good, super nice hotel, the bar are is lovely and the spa is probably on of the best in Costa Blanca. The only thing I would say was the standard double room, it was a bit dated, but still very clean and comfortable.

Slow checkout

We have stayed in this hotel 5 times so obviously enjoy the facilities abd location. However this time checkout was very slow and I was in line for 20 minutes. I had to eventually ask a member of staff standing in the background to check me out, not good customer service. Express checkout or better training of staff would help.

We have stayed several times and always enjoyed our stay. Your staff are exceptionally good - efficient, professional, courteous and excellent english skills. Communication before our stay was very helpful and secured our very comfortable transfers to and from the airport. Our room was exactly what we hoped for. We enjoyed breakfast in our room on 2 occasions and found room service to be excellent. Our only concerns were the haphazard local taxi service. After booking with reception and told we were number 2 or 3, others took the taxis saying they were number 2 or 3. This was quite irritating. Also Kitsume restaurant was disappointing and we were given a limited choice of dishes as everything we chose ( 3 diners ) was unavailable. Reception staff are wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. We love the hotel and will certainly be back. Thank you.

The housekeeping at this place is amazing!!! The room was thouroughly cleaned every single day. The brekfast was great with so many options, the staff is nice. The only minor thing is the enforcement of the pool policies. Apperently, neither the jumping, nor the valleyballi in the pool are allowed, but some guests were consistently doing it without any objections from the pool staff. I guess, some guests are treated differentlly.
