Hi Laura,

we had a great time. the apartment was comfortable, although I would say it is more than a 10 min walk to the port! Well I suppose Linford Christie might be able to do it.

The golf courses were great although the last one we played looked tired & we would probably not go back. The first course included buggies & I think it would be useful to point this out & offer a buggy booking service for courses that have buggies but are not included in the price.

Overall very good.

we are planning to do this again next year as it will be 30 yrs since we became friends so feel free to get in touch with me after the summer mayhem!

Regards

Andy

Hi Laura

Yeah great holiday, weather could have been better only 2 sunny days but no one can control that!!
Golf courses were amazing you picked 5 great ones, we also booked La Quinta again for the Sunday but had to cancel cause of the rain!! We all played really well on all days and have rated the courses best first:
Almenara :10 out of 10 It was so wet that day only problem La Quinta : 9.5 out of 10 Great course a bit short though GPS on buggies was

really good
Monte Mayor : 9 out of 10 Don't know how they built this course amazing!!!
Some great views and
great holes totally different to anything i have ever seen, also GPS on buggies Los Arqueros : 8.5 out of 10 Good front 9, back 9 was a little poor El Paraiso : 8.5 out of 10 Quite short but in great condition, we walked this course and it was fine!!

We had a problem at Los Arqueros on Fri morning got there handed voucher over and were told we didn't have a tee time it had been booked and then cancelled, but guy at the shop was really helpful made a few phone calls and

then said it wasn't our problem and let us play so not really that sure who paid for it, just as well cause left your contact details in the apartment that day!!!
We found the courses with no problem except Monte Mayor which looked on our map 10 min away but was really about 40 mins and over 2 mountains, we got a costa del golf book at the first course which also helped.
Had no problems with car hire very smoothly done had to report a small scratch on a door which they had missed before we took it out but apart from

that the car had enough space and was fine.
The apartment was brilliant so big and everything we needed, clean and tidy good garden sky and great pool little cold though basically everything that was said in the pack, we had a bbq 2 nights and went out the rest, the restaurants and bars were in good walking distance although not 2 busy but didn't expect that at this time of year. If we were to go back to the same area next year we would want to stay in that apartment again if possible but

maybe sample some of the other courses in the area but will get back to you on that later in the year.
Your service has been great and the price you got us was the best after speaking 2 alot of other golfers at the courses we seemed to get the best deal and i name dropped espana golf in to our conversations so maybe some extra business for you!!!!, if we decide to do it again next year we will use espana golf again and have your email address saved in my contacts list so could be in touch later in the year.

Thanks for a great holiday
Bryan

Hi Laura,

We arrived back safe and well thank you.

We were met at the airport by Celia from the hotel who was very nice and had great English. We found here very pleasant and helpful. The hotel, while close to Valencia, seems quite remote probably because it is surrounded by the beach on one side and the natural park on the other. The main problem was that there were no shops in the local area other than what the hotel had to offer. The hotel itself is lovely and service at all levels was excellent. The shuttle bus service to Valencia is very good also and quite frequent with very pleasant and helpful drivers always willing to assist. The big let down was El Saler golf club. The was no clubhouse, no facilities and the entire place is a building site with the construction of the new hotel and club house. The course, although excellent, was in poor condition especially the greens which they were continually working on for the 3 days we played it. We felt that we should have been informed from the beginning that all this work was going on which probably would have steered us away from that course on this visit. We played the place 3 days and had to put up with allot of inconvenience which annoyed many within my group. We then went to play El Bosque and found that we were not booked in to play at all. We were being turned away by club officials saying they could not fit us in because the course was busy that day and nobody had informed them that we were coming. I contacted the hotel who asked if we would consider playing El Saler or Escorpion later in the day. In the meantime the club manager from El Bosque came out and told us to get ready to play. Imp not sure where the blame is on this one but its certainly would point to a serious lack of communications between the hotel and El Bosque golf club. Escorpion was excellent, well presented and the service provided was courteous and efficient. We were all very impressed by Escorpion.

Hope this is helpful

Many thanks for your service Laura to us which was excellent and very efficient from start to finish

Kind regards
Michael
