Rooms were large. Breakfast was great, however, for a 5 star hotel, not having a proper coffee machine in the room (powdered coffee and kettle provided, breakfast starts at 8 am) is not acceptable. Furthrmore, wifi in the rooms was so weak and poor, could not log in (had to go to reception to do so), and then could not upload normal apps like IG. Hotel reception were aware of this problem, so ongoing for a while. Also could not watch Netflix on iPad. TVs in the room are not smart TVs, not good enough for a 5 star hotel. Staff were all friendly and pleasant though. Would not stay here again.

The electronic keys to the room was not working and the staff had to come and open the room everytime. It got fixed the third day of my stay. The hotel is clean and spacious and the staff were courteous. The problem is they didn’t provide water everyday. I was told to purchase it from the bar. The breakfast buffet was ok and nothing to rave about. The hotel is a bit far from the old town and you have to take a cab to go to the old town or walk from 45 mins. Its a nice hotel for the price!

The standard rooms, which we had, face a very busy road intersection and is very noisy. The air-conditioning which you need is controlled only by reception, not as advertised, individually. Therefore the room was 27°, so we turned it off and suffered the road noise. The bathroom sink was blocked and the jacuzzi bath jets let out brown 'scum' when just using the bath so not great.

Really nice hotel. Has the ‘solid marble feel’ of a high end hotel. That said I almost gave it a 4 star as the location isn’t great, the beach is just stones, and the hotel can seem almost empty. The spa is amazing but the gym could be improved and larger. Food was very good.

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

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.

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.

The hotel has a beautiful view of the ocean and is very well appointed. Rooms and bathroom are spacious. Everything is clean and well maintained. There were ample pool chairs.

It’s a great place to experience resort-like atmosphere in Spain.

This was a lovely hotel, our room (1201) had lovely views over the pool and the sea and was also spacious. Even thought it was next to the lift you could not hear it. As it was out of season there was not a lot guests and that was nice. Bar staff were lovely as were the breakfast staff. Reception staff were also very helpful and the cleaners were also very friendly. Hot and cold buffet breakfast was a huge selection and also included cava and wine if you wanted it. The pool was cold and very refreshing, however the indoor pool was great. You can walk to Altea town via the sea walkway or use the tram which is a 10 min walk away. Definitely would recommend and will visit again.

Breakfast was typical buffet style, something for everyone, some choices a little limited. Evening meal was again typical buffet fair, standard not great, which lets hotel down.
Lunch in poolside restaurant was of a much higher standard, very enjoyable.

Superb hotel with breathtaking seaview

It was a 5 day family break birthday trip and SH Villa Gadea made the break truly memorable. We were upgraded to a lovely seaview terrace on arrival, the view is AMAZING, and I would totally book it next time. Ive also got a surprise bottle of bubbly plus selection of cakes on the birthday- thank you so much Team Villa Gadea, that was lovely!
Besides that, would like to highlight how fantastic everyone on the receltion team is, particularly Surin ( might be misspelling the name here),nothing is too much and are very helpful. We loved the pool, especially the indoor one, as the trip was end of October, and it's a very unusual set up with all the walls and ceiling made of glass so you can swim in the indoor pool while still enjoying the palms swalying outside.
We had a rental car to explore the area, which was the right choice for us, but it's pretty walkalble to the old town should you choose to do so.
Hotel breakfast was good and plentiful but we only had it one day as we prefer exploring the world outside of the hotel.Our fave places for food were by the cliffs for a breakfast and Bistro for dinners. Both have fresh food and outstanding staff.

I think these amenities should be offered for free to customers, being a 5 star hotel. Other than that everything was great, expecially the breakfast!
