The rooms were good standard,and very clean.The restaurant had a good choice of food but the seating and lighting do not give a good atmosphere to dine out.Needs some screens and less harsher lights.There is a nearby bar which is great price and service adjacent to hotel and a supermarket too.Take pillows as those in the room are much too hard to sleep on.The hotel is about 50 minutes from almeria airport and a bit isolated.

Nice hotel if maybe a wee bit tired. Very comfortable room with good CH for January. Would not have junior suite again for January as balcony recessed for summer shade - standard room better to capitalise on what heat there is. Cuisine OK but have to be selective. Good reasonably priced wine list. Spa good. For the money our 3 week stay was a steal! Will return but take warm golf gear.

I am biased as i have stayed at this hotel at least 10 times in January. The staff are welcoming and efficient, the rooms good and the food also very good. The weather in January is always pleasant. Rain is almost unheard of and the midday temperature approaches 20. This year for the 3 weeks of our stay it was almost wall to wall sunshine.

Bradley Allmark failed to ask or recommend golf carts adding €70 of unexpected expenses. When confronted with this situation, he didn’t offer any kind of resolution, only that his other clients were satisfied. We are in our 60’s and trying to make the most of our retirement, we are on a fixed income, we have to budget ourselves carefully. A refund would be much appreciated and repeat business from us much more likely. Sincerely, Leo Potts

The first two days we played we were impressed with the speed of play. On the last day it was spoilt by two large groups being slotted in. We waited a long time on tee ten as groups were still trying to go off and it was then slow. We were told the they had made a mistake as they had double booked the big groups. However we made it round and would return.

The course is very demanding for walking players, with long distances between holes and quite hilly.There was some repair work being done on the greens to replace bare patches. However all our players enjoyed the challenge and will certainly be coming back here.

The greens were terrible, very sandy as they had been spiked days b4 we arrived, they got better as the week went on but still not great. The rest of the course was good tho. The putting practice green has been ripped up and replaced with a croquet green (didn't see anybody playing croquet all the time we were there so couldn't understand that decision) the putting green was shocking and a waste of time. Driving range good tho. Buggies had sat navs which gave wrong distances which was a bit confusing.

The course, despite alterations over the years remains a challenge. The condition for the time of the year was good, the greens true but a little variable in pace. Pace of play was ok with a marshall to move on the slow groups. The Pro's shop was as always very helpful. The new buggies with details of distance were excellent and once again my wife and enjoyed our stay

We have played the course quite a few times before, but this time the overall course condition was the best we have seen. The greens were really excellent. True and fast ( quite a shock to the system coming out from a wintertime UK!) fairways were also excellent. The newly rebuilt 8th hole looks like it has always been there and is a definite improvement. Generally the course conditions and layout seems to improve with every visit

Slow play is a real problem here , they seem to put a priority on large groups ( more money ) with smaller ones pushed aside . 5 hours plus was the norm on this course which is useless when you're out at 3.30 and it's dark at 8pm . The greens are still work in progress a year after they were damaged last year , and no one seems tho know what a pitch repairer is for !!

The course was generally in good condition. The greens were better than in some January visits. The beauty of Val D.Este is that no 2 holes are the same. You have to think your way around. It also has avariety of tees that means a veteran like myself can choose the length i play. In 15 rounds in 3 weeks the longest round time wise was 4hrs. 20min and the shortest 3hrs. 30 min.

Too many people as usual and not enough supervision of players enabling some to play very slowly. On the first day we just finished as the sun set making it a bit difficult. The marshall although present on the course never mentioned the fact that if play was not sped up it would be dark for us as the last group finishing. Etiquette is not observed or enforced on this course and although it is a delight to play it definatley needs some serious policing on the course. Essential maintainance of the greens was taking place so it did make a difference to the round but overall still enjoyable.
