The hotel's layout and design make it an easy place to settle into for a few days' golf. Outside, the Andalucian and Moorish look gives it a bit of personality, and inside you'll find a modern finish with bright, clean surfaces, smart furnishings and seating areas that make the most of the sea views. It's the sort of place where you can do the "quick shower and out again" routine, or happily linger with a drink and watch the light change over the Mediterranean.
When you're not on the course, the downtime options are solid. There are two outdoor swimming pools for a proper dip, plus a separate children's pool if you're travelling as a family group. On the beachfront, you can stretch out on the palm-fringed sands and make the most of the Andalucian sun, which is exactly what you want on a winter-sun escape or a shoulder-season trip.
For post-round recovery, the spa facilities include a gym, sauna, steam room and solarium, which is a real plus if you're playing multiple rounds in a short space of time. There's also a paddle tennis court for anyone in the group who fancies a change from the fairways.
Food and drink are straightforward and convenient. The open-air buffet restaurant sits among the gardens and offers a broad spread of international dishes, while the Thalassa Bar-Restaurant by the pool is a handy option when you want something relaxed without heading far. In peak season, you can also make the most of the Terrace Mediterraneo chill-out area for panoramic coastal views, and there's live music in the lobby bar from June to September, which adds a bit of atmosphere in the evenings.
Rooms are comfortably equipped with satellite TV, a safe and a minibar, plus a terrace or balcony. Many have sea views, so it's worth requesting them when you book if that matters to your group.
