Precise Golf Resort El Rompido The Hotel

“Golf group”

My second visit and has not changed from two years ago. My first recommendation is to get yourselves some insect repellent and anthisan spray or cream. I don’t know if it’s just this time of year that mosquitos are out for blood, but quite a few people did suffer from the bites. But none of this is down to the hotel. We had superior rooms each and they are very good. The aircon hadn’t been switch on by the hotel yet. The mini bar stated on the web site is in fact an empty fridge as it was two years ago. No coffee or tea making facilities, but you can get a kettle from reception to use throughout your stay. There is a shop within the grounds about a five-minute walk at most from the front door which sells most holiday requirements. The rooms a cleaned daily so all good. Restaurant is a typical buffet style. I wasn’t overly impressed, but that’s my own opinion. But the golf bar restaurant which is not part of the inclusive package do some good cooked to order food. The inclusive package starts at 5.00 PM. Beer orders get reduced to half pints and you are unable to reorder until it’s a nearly empty glass. You will not be able to order a drink for someone who is not at the table. Plus, also note that the selection of drinks in the inclusive package is not the same quality as it was when paying. Had no issues with the staff unlike some reviews. Overall, this hotel would not be classed a five-star hotel in the UK. But it suited our golfing group requirements. Two golf courses and I would recommend golf carts, especially as the temperatures start to get hotter. The courses (north & south) themselves are in excellent condition. I did seem strange not playing in wet conditions as we have been in the UK for the last five months. Last point to note for a member of my group. ‘Keep your hat on’ next time the Full Monty gets played.

“Mixed feelings”

The hotel did not change since 10 years ago, still premium materials used, but in need of small repairs. The indoor Pool needs attention and the wooden floor downstairs moves when walking on it. The buffet uses good ingredients, is a bit low on choice, but the preparation of the dishes needs attention, the cesar salad for instance is not balanced and that changes per day. Whoever makes the french fries should be fired for cooking them instead of frying. The first days the bacon was burned, the last days the guy did better, fried eggs still runny on top though. The staff at reception is very friendly, in the restaurant it differs, some extremely nice, some a bit grumpy ? The staff at the Spa is very friendly and service oriented. The golf reception is professional and very friendly, the courses are in prime condition and North is a nice challenge. So that explains the title, mixed feelings,its not bad, but with some minor improvements it would be perfect.

“Good, but needs to sort a few things out!”

Generally a very good golf resort, but they do need to sort a few things out. The staff were all good, some were excellent.

Generally a very good golf resort, but they do need to sort a few things out. The staff were all good, some were excellent. We stayed on the semi all inclusive basis which includes beer etc after 5.00pm - no problem with that, but why do they insist on serving beer in tiny glasses which necessitates them serving you 3 times more often than necessary? The same bars serve in full size glasses when paying! The golf courses are both good and quite different from each other - buggies were great and the lockers for clubs etc excellent value at €7 for the week. The pace of play however was shocking! The rooms were as expected with the exception of no tea/coffee facilities. The food was only ok and bizarrely laid out, but best to avoid here if you’re vegetarian - there was usually only plain pasta, sometimes a sauce, sometimes not - totally unacceptable. The restaurant doesn’t open until 7.30pm which means virtually everyone is trying to eat at the same time resulting in lengthy queues and a very crowded atmosphere.

This is my first time to this golf resort. Unfortunately, there is good and bad to report.We were on a semi inclusive deal. Checking into the appt was painless as there was 11 of us.Rooms where very clean and spacious,2 bedrooms,each with there own doors for privacy if you need it and showers,small kitchen and living area and tv.Cleaned every day for the 7 days we where there. Breakfast //evening meals unfortunately was not good,we had to go to the main hotel for it,when i got there I felt like I was going around the world to find the food.Only the chef food cooking in the corner was Irish /British standard hot,everything else was cold // lukewarm although there is a microwave in the corner also to reheat the food.Not enough varieties over the 7 days. Staff in the hotel itself,especially the bars outside,will hopefully improve their manners,as the staff elsewhere were generally good. Golf courses are very good,restaurant and bar are also recommended.You can leave your clubs in a locker for the week for a small charge,great idea for people around my age hauling them back and forward to the course. Overall, I'm not sure if I'll be coming back as there doesn't look like there's much else to do apart for golfers. The hotel itself is beautiful, and there is plenty of room for improvement. Ps. Watch out for the mosquitos.
