Hi Ellie,

You beat me to it! My next job was to e-mail you to say thank you so much for last night. Brilliantly organised, excellent food, great atmosphere. We enjoyed the company at our table, nice people. A shame that we left a little early, always an issue when you give someone else a lift! Still, probably a good thing, given Maggie's sprained ankle.

So, a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous 2016 to you and your team. Barring incidents and accidents I think you can book us for next year!

All the Best, Roger & Maggie

Dear Ellie & the Team

No it’s us who want to thank all of you.  

You did a wonderful job.  The food was lovely and everyone on our table commented on hot it all was and how all the separate meals came together so no one was left waiting to eat.  The service was faultless and the whole evening from 8.00 pm to the early hours of the morning was a lovely happy experience.

Thank you from all on our table and I am sure you could ask anyone who had the pleasure of being at El Torrente for the New Year’s bash would say the same.

Well done all of you.

Best Wishes for the New Year.

Donna & Chris and the rest.

between Thursday 19th November and Sunday 6th December at Desert Springs Resort, Europe’s only international award-winning luxury family resort and championship desert golf course, in the Almanzora region of Almeria, Andalucía in south-east Spain.
 
 
Rudi Knapp with his golf pupils at Desert Springs Resort 
 
The players were accommodated in some of the privately owned apartments used for holidays and short breaks at Desert Springs and the resort’s executive chef was on hand to cater for the special dietary requirements of individual players dining in the award-winning El Torrente Restaurant.
During their time at the resort the players utilised the excellent practice facilities at the Golf Academy and played the Championship Indiana course.
 
 
Rudi Knapp remarked: –
 
"Desert Springs is a beautiful resort, clean and organised with friendly staff.
 
The cooperation from Kirk Lovell, Golf Services Manager was very professional and regarding the resort accommodation everything went smoothly.
 
I am planning to return to Desert Springs with more groups of students from Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Italy in February, November and December 2016!

My wife and I were looking for a sunshine holiday in November at a good resort and I wanted to work on golf game with a teaching professional. We found Neil Evans European Golf School based at The Desert Springs Resort near Almeria and our expectations were exceeded!

The apartment was comfortable, quiet and well furnished. The Club House offered great food and drink served by friendly staff. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. The practise facilities were ideal and the course was very special and superbly maintained. The weather was warm and sunny all week.

The highlight for me were my daily sessions with Neil both on the course and at the range. In a relaxed style all aspects of my game were improved, for which I am very grateful. Lots to work on but now I feel I am on the right path thanks to Neil's knowledge, skill and direction.

We are looking forward to returning to Neil's Golf School and The Desert Springs Resort early next year and we cannot recommend the whole experience highly enough.

“Another great time at DS”

 

We stayed in a villa owned by a family member, we played golf and we enjoyed the superb service offered by Ellie and her team in the El Torrente restaurant. 

The food here is well cooked, beautifully presented and served by attentive staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. 

The golf course is hugely challenging but the golf reception staff and those in the caddy shack are great.


Above all, the people on the front line of service are excellent and this is not always the case.
 

WELL DONE ELLIE & CO.

“Oasis in the desert”

We stayed at the Desert Springs Golf resort earlier this year. The El Torrente restaurant sits centrally on the site. With nothing else within walking distance this bar and restaurant is very convenient if you want to have a drink or just not worry about driving!

I was pleasantly surprised by it all, I have to admit. With a captive audience I expected prices to be very high but they were very reasonable indeed. A very good starting point!

The restaurant has an inside and outside space, both very nice, and tables are far enough apart that you can enjoy privacy. 

Service was relaxed, very helpful and very friendly. Most of the staff were bilingual so English was rarely a problem. That said, they were patient and helpful as I practiced my Spanish!

The menu was varied, changed weekly and there were special nights each week which had a different menu. On the whole, the food was very good. We had a variety of meals and none of them disappointed.

My only grumble, and you cannot please everyone, was that the menu was very English! Obviously the main clientele is English but I would have enjoyed trying a wider range of Spanish dishes.

Eating outside during the day, did mean you got a few flies but I have to say, no more than I've experienced elsewhere. With the restaurant extending out to a large veranda, sparrows quite often make their way inside, meaning you have to watch where you sit, lest you collected a "badge" for your stay. This wasn't a major problem, overall, our meals and relaxed drinks in the bar were excellent value and quality.

We loved this restaurant which is part of Desert Springd resort. You can choose from a frequently changing set-price menu (with choices) or the a la carte menu. The quality of the food is excellent and we were especially pleased that it was not overpriced. There is also a good children's menu which even my fussy little eaters loved!

The atmosphere and location are lovely. It is part of the clubhouse but everyone is welcome even if you don't stay on the resort. Can't wait to go back next year!

"This place is such a nice experience, from the drive up to Desert Springs to the fantastic location and set up of the restaurant. 

The staff are great, really friendly, the house wine is fantastic and the food is a step above everything else that is served in the area. 

It is also fantastic value at 18 euros for 3 courses and coffee. 


Overall it is a real top restaurant experience which costs less than £15 per head, 3 courses, wine and coffee. 

I have visited this place 5 or 6 times, most recently the Chateaubriand was melt in the mouth, pork shank was also a great dish I had from this menu. 

If you are in the area I would definitely advise visiting this place."
