To say this is a 'villa' is like saying Burj Al Arab is just a hotel.... Every room was different and quirky, and the whole experience of the villa unique and special. The pool area outside was a delight and could accommodate all 14 of us easily. The fact that the villa was formerly used as a hotel meant that there were many other extras which added to the experience. The pool table was used extensively, as were the table tennis table and baby-foot tables. Jeffrey and his team did a fantastic job of making the villa ready every morning, and were both efficient and unobtrusive. It was also a really nice touch that Jeffrey made himself available out of hours to help with finding taxis etc. In summary it is virtually impossible to find fault anywhere. If I were to give 2 minor suggestions to make the experience even better, I'd suggest fixing the fan in the kitchen and getting better cool air circulation there generally (it got VERY warm in there during cooking times), and also consider more effective mosquito protection around the outdoor seating areas (although accept you don't control pest behaviour !). These did not at all detract from the holiday however. So...Thank you Andres to you and your staff for giving us a fantastic holiday. And thank you for coming round to wish us well on the last night. That was a really nice gesture.

Our experience as a family of eleven guests was fantastic, from the beautiful sculptured gardens to the enormous swimming pool, sun loungers and lots of relaxing chairs available dotted around the garden. The three outdoor patio seating areas where used every day, with the extra long table out-side the kitchen big enough for us all. We all enjoyed the games facilities, table tennis table football and pool. The living room where we spent most of our evenings was presented to a very high standard as was the dining room and reception area's. The kitchen was a double kitchen which held everything you could possibly want, including four fridges and a freezer. The bedrooms were over three floors, all with their own facilities, the beds were very comfortable and the décor of all the rooms was excellent. Two hours on most days we went down into the caves to visit the spa which was ever more spectacular than is imaginable. We were looked after by Jeffery every day and nothing was to much bother for him, he certainly made our stay an ever more enjoyable occasion than we thought possible. Thanks for letting us visit this lovely oasis you have built in Alicante. Ted

Have just got back from our wonderful stay at King James Villa . There were 9 of us and none of us were interested in going anywhere else. Our ages were from age 5 years to 73 years. Beds were very comfortable along with the pillows. ( Andres if possible can you let us know what the pillows are.) We were welcomed by Jeffrey and his girlfriend who were very smart in their uniform, as we had not told any of our family anything about the villa this added to the surprise. Bedrooms, pool and spa are out of this world décor was fabulous. As food and drink are one of our hobbies (owning a restaurant for 30 years and Hubby a chef) he and my Son were in their element in the kitchen. We look forward to returning soon. Thank you Andres for letting us use your house. Thank you Jeffrey for your help and not forgetting Manola.

My family along with two other families (12 of us altogether) have been hiring out villas together for many years now and this one is by far the best! We had a lovely warm welcome from the owner Andreas and Jeffrey (who works for Andreas). Jeffrey is English and speaks fluent Spanish. The facilities of the villa are amazing. (The pictures do not do it justice). The villa is spacious and very clean and it was a refreshing change to have our beds made and rubbish taken away each day!! (even the BBQ grill was washed for us each day!!!) There is plenty to do in Alicante, however if you just wanted to spend the whole time chilling at the villa you would not get bored. There is a Restaurant at a walkable distance which does an all you can eat for 12.00 Euros and the food is amazing. We had a lovely time and Jeffrey was very helpful and contactable as and when we needed him. A great time was had by all and we would definitely recommend anyone to hire out this villa. You will not be disappointed!! Thank you Andreas and Jeffrey! Jackie and everyone. x

From arriving at the electric gates to be met by the wonderful Jeffrey (who was the absolute backbone of our holiday stay)our holiday was just perfect.The opulence and luxury this house oozes has to be experienced to be understood,the house encompasses you and is all too consuming to the point we weren’t too bothered to venture out,we were enjoying the luxury and splendour of every room and especially the most amazing spa,this house is thee most amazing,comfortable,fascinating dwelling I have ever had the pleasure of staying in (and I am well travelled) Myself and my family (12 of us)enjoyed all the house has to offer,we had a 6month old (high chairs and cot provided)3year old,10 year old,14 year old and they were all entertained,the table football,table tennis,pool table provided endless competitions for the 4 men that were with us whilst the ladies sunbathed to their hearts content knowing the men were enjoying their time. Jeffrey was always on hand and not one thing was too much trouble for him,I cannot praise him enough,even when off duty was ordering taxis for us as the taxi firm could not understand our accents and promptly hung up🙄 6-8pm was family spa time and the spa is just fabulous. The World Cup is on at the minute and Jeffrey sorted that so the men could watch it,he does everything with a smile on his face and really takes delight in wanting to make your stay at villa Rey Jaume unforgettable and he definitely succeeded. Cannot wait to return with my family and several of my friends are also looking at dates to book on my recommendation. Villa Rey Jaume it’s been amazing Jeffrey thank you for all you did for us our holiday was amazing because of you,Andreas thank you for allowing us the pleasure of staying in your sumptuous beautiful home. We shall definitely be returning soon😎 Only complaint is Jeffrey please get some tea towels😜 See you soon. Natalie and family

We (3 families) stayed here in April 2018 and had a great time. The pictures do not do justice to the villa. Rooms were well laid out and were extremely comfortable. The kitchen and dining areas had everything we needed and more. The outside areas were fantastic. Our young kids had plenty to do. The pool area was covered when we stayed and provided a brilliant place to relax, which was only surpassed by the spa area later in the day. We were met by Andres and Jeffrey who gave us the tour of the villa. Throughtout the week Jeffrey was available for any questions but wasn't intrusive allowing us to enjoy ourselves. Overall, a fab week and we'll definitely be loo king to return in the future.

What an amazing place & as a lot of people have already said the pictures do not do it justice. We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our friends 40th & 50th Birthday & we had everything we could wish for & more (The Sun) Andres, Jeffery & Manolo were lovely & they were there within seconds of if we needed them. Wish we could do it all again but for longer. Great location only 20 minuets from the airport & several supermarkets near by, would highly recommend the beautiful villa

We spend a long weekend in January with two more families and absolutely loved it. The images on the HomeAway site do no justice. The villa is 100 times better. It is is simply breathtaking. And most importantly - kids/family friendly. There is so much to do that we did not leave the place for 4 days. And Andreas was a great host. He catered for everything we wanted and went way beyond by surprising us with a bottle of champagne and roses for my wife's birthday. I have travelled to many places around the World,but have never seen anything like this. Highly recommended

This is a lovely villa, the facilities are great, surpassed only by the wonderful staff who cleaned and looked after us.

Just come back from 2 weeks holiday, the Villa was exceptional great for large families , I took my children and my grandchildren,there were 10 of us, as the Villa was so big we all had our own space. Andres was there to greet us when we arrived and introduced us to Manolo who looked after us during our stay. While we were there Andres had a Snooker table and Football table delivered this enhanced our stay and grandkids loved playing with the grown ups. I would recommend this Villa, something to be aware of, not a lot around to do within walking distance, used Taxis that cost 10 euros each way to the Marina but well worth it when we got there. We also decided to hire a car so the boys could go off to golf and we could do our food shopping.There was is an abundance of restaurants to choose from so caters for everyone a cab ride away at the Marina. We visited San Juan beach a few times great beach lovely and clean. The local beach that was 5 mins away by car was great for the grandkids that had a nice friendly family bar on beach and served meals but nothing fancy. I would definitely recommend this Villa and will be going back .

This Villa has everything needed for a relaxing holiday, there is plenty of space to get lost in, its fantastic for hide and seek with the children ( or adults ). The pool is great, set in beautiful gardens with many seating areas, it even has an outside bar with fridge, (so no need to go all the way back into the house for a top up). The underground caves with spa were amazing and very relaxing after a hard day in the sun, ( open from18.00 - 20.00 ) We loved everything about this Villa and are looking forward to returning. The only negative thing i can think of about this villa is, due to the beautiful tropical gardens with many water features you will need plenty of insect repellent to prevent bites, however this was a small price to pay for such a luxurious Villa.

We visited this property as a large family group including five couples, a single adult, two children and a baby. We were absolutely delighted with the villa. It was spotlessly clean and equipped for our arrival. The owner is there to greet you and show you how to use the facilities for your stay. The grounds and pool are looked after daily by Manola and his occasional helpers. They work discreetly, however are always on hand if you need any help. He booked taxis for us as this proved difficult to do with the language barrier. One tip research minibus or large hire cars before travel as taxis proved to be expensive as the meter runs the minute they enter the property grounds . The photos of the villa discription are spot on, everything is just as described, however the whole property is better than you expect it to be. The gardens and seating areas are beautiful, with hidden gems everywhere, and the pool is excellent especially with the partial cover in the searing heat. The decking area could do with a little maintenance as some boards have trap ends. The spa is amazing but only open for two hours daily, so make the most of it. A week was not long enough at the hidden gem.

Family holiday at this location 1st - 15th July, nine adults and three children. The villa has enough space for couples to have quite time around the grounds or in three reception rooms, one that is for adults only. Two kitchens, smaller one for light meals the larger one for family cooking all modern utensils. Coffee pot was cracked on closer inspection, Manolo had this replaced within two hours with a brand new machine. Excellent service. Any faults during our stay Manolo had the issues cleared within the hour ie fridge leaking, toilet not flushing. Would recommend this Villa to family and friends, in the process of planning our return next year. Public transport is excellent, bus trip to the city €1:45, taxi €10:50 single trip. SuperMarket 10 minute walk, check timings. Santa Faz, 7 minute walk, couple of small bars/cafe and a hotel plus open air market. Alicante is not a major tourist area as yet and English speakers are few. Our son had an app that translates English to Spanish that helped a lot but you miss out on learning a few words of Spanish. Would I do anything different? Yes, I would hire my own car and bikes.
