Suche läuft ...

Wir brauchten eine Bleibe für die Heimreise aus Südspanien, das Hotel war eigentlich eher ein "Zufallstreffer" für unseren Zwischenstopp. Die Anfahrt hat uns ein wenig geschockt, diese Reihenhausanlagen und Ferienappartements ... man kann in diesem Fall ja nicht direkt von Bausünden sprechen, erinnert aber ein wenig an Massentierhaltung. Aber die Gegend ist natürlich ein Paradies für Golfer ... Wir sind keine Golfer, trotzdem fiel unsere Wahl auf dieses Hotel, schon der Empfang war recht unkompliziert, außerdem wurde uns eine Flasche Rotwein sowie ein Schinkenteller aufs Zimmer serviert (war in diesem Paket inbegriffen, leider keine Ahnung mehr was das für ein "Paket"war). Die Zimmer sind hell und freundlich, sehr modern aber trotzdem brauchbar, vor allem das Bett, endlich wieder einmal ein richtiges riesiges Bett! Im Badezimmer waren sämtliche Dusch- und Badeutensilien (von Chopard) vorhanden, einzig die Minibar ist sehr spärlich ausgestattet. Wir haben dann noch den Abend auf dem Balkon (immerhin war schon Dezember!) verbracht, die Ruhe um uns war schon beinahe unheimlich. Großzügig ist auch der Pool-Bereich, leider war es dafür schon etwas zu kühl... Alles in allem: ein sehr stylisches Hotel und trotzdem gemütlich. Wir haben keine Nachteile entdeckt - außer dass wir selbst keine Golfer sind ...

Stayed here last year same time, Hotel very good breakfast good, the spa is a bit of a con as you have to pay extra which I think is not on in a 5 star hotel, The golf this year was very slow 5 and a half hour round the first day, there were far to many hackers on the course, under instruction on how to play, and apparently the Scandinavians have handicaps up to 36, well some of the people playing weren't as good as that, they need to marshal the course better. This is a golfing resort after all. I don't think we will return again as there is nothing else in the area besides golf.

Stayed here as part of a group of 12 golfers in April.We booked via yourgolftravel which removed any hard work, the deal included 3 nights b&b, all transfers and 3 rounds of golf (Villamartin, Las Ramblas and La Finca), and I think we got a very good deal.The hotel is very good, it's modern, clean and comfortable, although quite quiet as it was off season.The rooms are great, we had a twin on the ground floor with a terrace. The bathrooms are outstanding with a wet room shower, bath, seperate toilet and a sink area. The room had a safe which was free of charge, TV , hair dryer etc.There is a large pool with a child pool to the side, and plenty of room to relax around it. The pool was empty when we arrived but on asking it was full and ready to use when we got back from golf on the second day.Breakfast was okay, a good selection of cereal, fruit, cold meats, cheese etc. The cooked breakfast wasn't great, just okay, although they are happy to cook eggs whichever way you prefer them.I didn't eat in the restaurant, although some of our party did and were disappointed at the quality of the food. I had a La Finca burger in the bar area which was very good. Drinks are a little on the pricey side, as you would expect in a hotel of this type. There is a nice patio area to sit and drink/eat on which looks out over the pool with the golf course as the back drop.A point to note, the hotel is in the middle of nowhere, you will to need a car or taxi to get out and about. We visited Casada and Torrevella by taxi, both were nice but quiet due to it being off season.I can't comment on the Spa facilities as we didn't use them.The Golf:Villamartin - Arrived to be told they had no record of our booking and that they were full and couldn't fit us in. After 15 minutes of discussion they told us that we would have to tee off immediately, 1 group at the first, 2 groups at the 10th. The attitude of the marshal at the 10th tee was terrible, and after one of our group had a bad drive muttered "can any of these ***** play golf?", he just didn't relalise he was saying it to a group that included one of our party... It spoilt the day to a point, we felt rushed and unwelcome. The course was in poor condition in some places, as we some of the tee boxes.Las Ramblas - The hardest of the 3 but I really enjoyed it, The Marshal at the first tee box couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. The course is very very tight, with some blind drives and long carries. THere are some really great holes. Take plenty of balls!La Finca - A very nice open course with some interesting holes and hazards. Again, there was a very friendly marshal to set us off who even helped with the group photos. Try driving the par 4 17th green, one of our party managed it.The weather was great, the golf was good and the beer flowed, I would recommend it.

Just come back from 4 nights staying at La Finca and have to say that my main thoughts are that this is a good hotel. To begin with I easily arranged taxi transfers to and from Alicante airport for myself and companions through Facebook. 65 euros each way which was cheaper than some but mostly made life easier for us. Pepe the taxi driver was there waiting for us, brill.There are plenty of facilities as well, an outdoor pool, spa, sky tv in bar, tennis and golf to name a few. As this was a golfing trip, the fact that they offered a shuttle transfer to Las Ramblas and Villamartin was a great bonus as they were further away than I thought they would be.Of the 3 courses, La Finca is the best in my opinion.I had a twin room which had 2 single beds, both very comfy. While it might be nit-picky, I prefer my single beds to have a gap between them. The room and en-suite were very clean and were made up daily with clean towels. The downside to the room was that there were no drawers. There were a few shelves in a cupboatrd but no drawers. The tv did not have a great choice of English speaking channels.The bar was fairly expensive and the seats were not that comfy, so not really conducive to keeping people there for their drinks. There is a happy hour though. The bar food was ok without being outstanding, but I cannot comment on the main restaurant food as I did not use it. There was quite a lot of choice at the buffet breakfast but not for the fry-up.I found the staff that we had dealings with to be very helpful

This review relates to a standard room.This is a modern hotel that as other reviews have stated is great for golfers. The hotel has a very modern look and feels very spacious. The check-in staff are friendly and helpful. There is both a full service restaurant and buffet. The restaurant has an express menu, (although there a few details and costs 25 euro) which was reasonable, but the buffet was bit expensive, but the food was fine. There is a large bar area and all the staff are friendly. The drinks and food are on the expensive side with a lunchtime snack costing over ¿¿10 per person.There is a reasonable spa and again friendly staff and a massage was ok, but seemed to lack effort.The rooms are large and reasonably comfortable. There is a dressing table that is set out so there is enough room to use it as a desk. There are a couple of chairs, but not what I would call a lounge chair.There is a nice patio area with a table and two chairs and a comfy chair. If you want a sun lounger, it is an extra charge.The bathroom was big and had a large bath and shower that was very good with nice toiletries provided.The security of the hotel is ok, but there are some omissions that were surprising. There is no sound buffering between the bar and the rooms and rooms have wooden floors and therefore they are very noisy. You can close the fire door between the rooms and the bar, which helps. There was no window opening for the room and therefore to get some fresh air, the patio door had to be left open. There are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. Nor is there a hotel directory.There is free Internet in the reception area, which is well laid out with several tables and chairs to work from. There is internet in the rooms, but there is a charge of about ¿¿5 per day.If you are going with some friends for a golfing break for a few days, then the hotel is fine, but for couples or families, you may be better off looking for a villa or hotel more geared to that market.
