driving up the road and arriving to this spectacular futuristic spaceship. what an amazing modern design with minimalism in mind. truly beautiful space not just indoor but the outdoors as well. i have to say the food was very good not just in their main restaurant but especially at the outdoor place at the pool - great place to have lunch with spectacular views. we played golf and having such amazing place to decompress, is fantasy. i would like to send big thank you to the sommelier Luis R. - your personal touch with sharing your knowledge of local wines is very much appreciated. you made our stay that much enjoyable by making our wine tasting experience richer. we would like to thank to golf hotel check in guys for making our golf rounds perfect.

“Great stay! Will go again.”

Very Good hotel. I was here for a Technology conference in Q4 2024. Food arrangements were very good. The rooms were very big. The Japanese style toilets was amazing. Small issue was around the quality of beds. Apart from all it was a very good stay of 3 days. Will plan to go there again with famil… more

“An uber Modern design hotel, not without flaws.”

Came here for a couple of nights to play at the golf course. I spent a little more to get a Corner Sea Loft room which was great as it had a wrap around balcony with a massive amount of space, sun loungers etc and a full sea view. Other rooms I thought were strangely positioned and look to have small balconies and side views. Worth upgrading your room here I would say. First impressions, a super cool hotel. Very minimalistic and I can see why some reviewers would not like it all. I loved it though. Walking to my room for the first time was so cool. A huge wide long corridor with just one window at the very end looking straight out to sea. The closer you get the bigger this window gets. Like a really cool art gallery or something you would find in The Tate Modern. My room was enormous and excellent. Only issue was sound from above very audible. High heels, footsteps, scraping furniture etc. Surprised that happens in a newish built modern structure like this. Public areas a wee bit sterile for me. The bar seemed to be part of the restaurant and I wasnt comfortable sitting at it, which is something I always do in a Hotel. For a cool Hotel, they should have a better bar. Dinner was lovely, with an exceptional and knowledgeable sommelier who made super pairings. Staff were absolutely brilliant throughout. Very friendly and helpful and dressed immaculately. The only thing I did not like here was the breakfast. A let down and poor. One juice (concentrate?) no butter for toast, filter coffee (yuk) and a poor coffee machine that appeared to make espresso only. Eggs to order but little information on options? Omelettes? who knows. I got two poached eggs. Both came hard boiled, and had to be eaten with dry toast as no butter available. I didn't even bother with breakfast the day I left as its so poor. Seemed to be lots of cold meats and cheese about if thats your thing, it's not mine early in the morning. Cold cheese for breakfast is all wrong :-)

“More than out-dated”

We were actually wondering why there were so few reviews in 2024 on Tripadvisor so we checked Google. Majority of reviews there were good. Little did we know… The hotel is so much out dated. Some reviewed it as uber modern, we feel it is just old. Vinyl flooring everywhere - the lobby, the rooms,… more

We were actually wondering why there were so few reviews in 2024 on Tripadvisor so we checked Google. Majority of reviews there were good. Little did we know… The hotel is so much out dated. Some reviewed it as uber modern, we feel it is just old. Vinyl flooring everywhere - the lobby, the rooms, the gym (which is a run down and the two modern techno gym pilates things or whatever it is don’t help). No clue why others call vinyl modern. Also the color blue which is omnipresent everywhere doesn’t add a touch of modernity but rather a memory of the 80ies and it was built in 2009… Rooms are huge indeed but again vinyl and this run down blue color. Hallways are wide and dark with this one window at the end of it. Some might say this is a design element we just felt darkness, see pictures. Majority of guests is 50+ male, playing golf. So it seems like a good spot for golfing. If you wann stay there to relax, go and look for another hotel. Highlight and the only good thing, for us, was breakfast: extremely broad selection of different breads, fruits, cheese, eggs to order, and, and, and. So, the hotel is not a disaster at all even though my review might sound like it. However, it is an old hotel and didn’t undergo any refurbishment lately - a fact no one can deny. They try hard but it is far away from what a modern hotel is called these days, which is sad as it has potential. Just changing room flooring to wood would bring so much more comfort to the rooms but maybe this vinyl and blue is their concept and USP… If you’re into new and modern hotels with wood flooring and charm, do not stay here. Also if you’re not a golfer.
