La Galiana Golf Resort - Adults Only

The location is exceptional with stunning mountain views, offering spacious rooms, high-tech features, and a professional, friendly service. Guests enjoy comfortable beds and luxurious bathrooms, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Spent 4 nights here last week, and played golf 3 times. There was clearly once an intention to build a large housing estate on the road up to the resort, which never happened. It feels quite isolated, although it’s really not that far to the coast, and less than an hour to Valencia. The scenery around the hotel and golf course is spectacular, as it’s nestled between the mountains and orange groves. Absolutely beautiful. Arriving at the hotel we were warmly welcomed and shown to our room. The facility is modern, spacious and impressive. Our room was very comfortable, clean, and had a terrace with great views. Wi-Fi was good. We did not use the spa or the gym. We asked for a table for lunch at 1.30 when we arrived, and were surprised to find that we could only just be fitted in. It became apparent why, as the restaurant was soon full. Not with tourists or hotel guests, as the restaurant is open to all for lunch (not dinner). The food and service were excellent, so we could see why it was so popular. We arrived on a bank holiday, but actually the lunch session was very busy each day of our stay. The hotel was hosting a professional Spanish cycling team for a couple of weeks, whilst we were there, so there weren’t many other guests apart from us. I think there’s only about 48 rooms. We were on half board, and dinner is usually a buffet for hotel guests only. This was a bit tricky with all the cyclists staying. The hotel staff went out of their way to accommodate us, as it was a bit unusual, and ensure that we weren’t inconvenienced at all. This was very much appreciated. The golf course was as challenging as expected ! Some really great views, greens/fairways in good condition and interesting holes, but we certainly lost lots of golf balls. It was a bit windy, but not wet, and you need a buggy unless you are particularly super fit. The staff were all very friendly helpful and accommodating, and the course wasn’t busy (low season). We enjoyed our stay and would happily return, but need to improve our golfing skills to do the course justice.

Our expectation has not been met. We already played the golf course several times, so we have been curious about the hotel. While using the SPA, several little kids standing outside, shouting and knocking at the window of the pool area - it is an adult only hotel. For dinner only the buffet restaurant was open, the offered menu was just average and the restaurant has an atmosphere like a canteen. Nothing what we expected for a dinner on a saturday evening. Enjoyable is the view from the rooms. Also staff was very friendly and engaged.
