Bruce Party - Costa Del Sol

Andy,

Hi, the holiday went very well thanks, we all had a good time.
The Hotel in reality was ideally positioned between Marbella and Puerto Banus so allowed us the flexibilty to go to either on an evening, breakfasts were excellent. The only issue was they wanted 18€ per day to use the gym as we were not in 'superior' rooms. Needless to say they got short thrift from Yorkshire lads!!
The golf courses were fine, we even went along to Valderama (the day we played San Roque) and had a look round. We bumped into the General Manager there, a Derek somebody or other, who had previously been the Manager at Gleneagles.
He apologised for the shutdown but gave us his email to contact if we want to play there again next time.
The only thing I would change would be the Car Hire company, purely and simply because the queues were unbelievable - we were lucky as one of the party got there an hour before us so he arranged the car - plus he marched to the front of the queue. So I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a company that is not quite as popular!
In conclusion, yes had a good time and thanks for that. we have discussed a similar time next year but going to Barcelona and playing a few courses round there. Any suggestions - it's never to early to start arranging!!
Regards
Richard Bruce
