Hi Sandra,
We had a very enjoyable holiday and we were very happy with the accommodation and amenities at the resort.
Thanks

“A superb 5 days of golf and relaxation”
To start with the drive from the Airport is very simple and quick! (we used Murcia as it has loads of flight options).
The drive is through scenic desert landscape with sea on one side and mountains on the other. (do download the helpful instructions off the web site)
The entrance winds up a hill side surrounded by orange trees and at the top the stunningly coloured villas and townhouses come into view. You next come across the remarkably green fairways set against the desert surrounds and bright flowers.
We had chosen to share a villa with some friends so we could have our own pool and be right among the course.
On arrival at The Clubhouse we were met by the reception staff who were very welcoming and ran through all the details. They spoke excellent english and talked us through the golf and other activities both in the local area and on the resort. Our Group was then taken to our villa in Buena Vista.
The Villa was amazing! It had great views through the valley with a glimpse of the sea at the end. We had our own pool and BBQ which was great for evening meals! Inside there was a fully fitted kitchen and plenty of space.
As we had booked 5 days we decided to make use of the resort restaurant for a couple of evening meals and of course breakfast, either before our early starts on the course or after a more relaxed lye in. The staff in El Torrente were great and got to know us quickly.
The location is great with so many beaches nearby – the couple we went to had charming little Beach Bars for drinks and bites to eat.
Already signing up for next year!
Hi
We had a fantastic holiday on the resort and thought the facilities and accommodation were excellent.
Many thanks

Dear Carmen
We had a brilliant time at Desert Springs, it was all over too quickly unfortunately!
We would definitely visit again, for longer if possible.
Isaac, our son, had an excellent time, made some great friends during the holiday and enjoyed trying his hand at a little golf.
We also met some lovely people and thoroughly enjoyed the superb facilities on offer.
Many thanks to you and your teams throughout the resort for your excellent customer service.
Kindest regards
Jane, John and Isaac Skelt
Thanks Carmen
We had a lovely time again at Desert Springs and we wish we were still there enjoying the villa, the facilities and the sun!
As always all your staff were excellent and we were made to feel most welcome throughout our stay.
We hope to be back again soon.
Kind regards
Andy
Natalia,
Hope you are well.
We would just like to thank you and your colleagues at Desert Springs for making our holiday so enjoyable.
I have to say how much the effort of the staff and standard of accommodation was exceptional, in particular when we locked ourselves out and the response you gave.
Many thanks for your support and look forward to staying with you next year.
Kind regards
Shaun
Great holiday, intersting golf course!”
We spent a week at the Desert Springs Resort in June, in need of a relaxing break and wanting to improve our golf. We had stumbled on Neil Evan's website in search of a golf holiday, and decided to give it a try.
It was very quiet in June which suited us perfectly – we had the swimming pool in our complex to ourselves most of the time, and it was already quite hot enough for us. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. We went for the easy option of half board, and although the menu arrangement was a bit complicated for the dinners, the food was extremely good, and there was plenty of variety considered we were there every night. We also had some very good wine!
As we live in Switzerland we loved the English breakfast every day.
The golf facilities were also very good, and we thoroughly enjoyed Neil's coaching. We had different needs, but Neil was able to coach us both appropriately and we made some good progress during the week. The golf course was a little daunting, but a good experience. And the landscape is amazing.
I would definitely recommend Desert Springs and Neil for a golf break with coaching, and we hope to get back there soon!
Natalia
Just to say a very big thank you to you and all at Desert Springs for making our stay with you last week so enjoyable.
Everyone had a great time, whether golfing, cycling, swimming or playing outdoor chess.
We all feel much better for our stay with you and we've even managed to bring the Spanish sunshine back to the UK, at least for the moment.
Thanks again to you all.
Kind regards
Owen
“A fantastic wedding location”
We were invited to attend the wedding of a very dear friend and were not disappointed with what we discovered at this gem of a place.
The drive from Almeria airport takes about an hour, but the stunning scenery is worth the drive.
The variety in accommodation adds to the uniqueness of this wonderful resort and whilst I am no golfer, you can see how much effort dedication and love is placed on ensuring that golfer's at every level are given the best facilities and resources.
The staff are so friendly, helpful and eager to ensure that everything is as you would like it to be.
The wedding we attended was absolutely fabulous with a ceremony on the lawn outside the club house and the reception and evening festivities taking place in the club house. Stunning, is the only word to describe the location.
My daughter was bridesmaid to the stunning bride and what a fabulous time we had.
I must at this point mention Ellie (Duty Manager), her attention to detail, her professionalism and her "nothing is too much trouble" attitude shone as brightly as her smile. Ellie you are an asset to this wonderful resort.
I should also add here that every member of staff was absolutely fabulous in their endeavours that ensure that we had the best possible time.
We will definitely return to Desert Springs.
Congratulations to you all.
Sandra Downie
Dear Daniel,
Please accept a somewhat belated thank you to you and your team for helping make my 60th Birthday Dinner such a very special occasion!
Special credit must go to Ellie who did a fantastic job in organising the event and adding her own very special touches to the evening. The table/room decoration was fantastic and the ambience that was created in the Clubhouse and having access to the lawn outside, where the ham and sherry was served, worked perfectly. The service was seamless and everyone who attended was very complimentary about the whole evening. I in particular will remember a very happy day, wonderful evening and great food spent in the company of some very good friends and family.
Jesus in particular should be singled out for special praise. His "Tasting Menu" was absolutely fantastic – well balanced and of exceptional quality and finally thanks to you too Daniel for your role in "making it all happen" – all very much appreciated.
You should be justifiably proud of your whole team.
Please pass on my grateful thanks to all concerned.
All good wishes,
Linda Kendall
“A quite extraordinary golfing experience”
A short interesting trip from Almeria Airport through spectacular "spaghetti Western" countryside to the most extraordinary resort – a stunning & eclectic mix of beautifully done & cleverly designed & located "villas", a great clubhouse, fine golf course & wonderful food with great service – a complete treat & great value….. Jonathan Lear
“Discerning , understated and superb”
Not much of a golfer but was recommended to try Desert Spring for a break with a few rounds of golf ,sun and swimming , chill out time and great grub….and some rather good Spanish plonk.
Five of us made the trip and not one of has left without raving about the place.
Golf testing and my balls are in the lake!
Food amazing and the wine wow.
Accommodation simply great and I wanted to nick the wonderful pillows .
The staff were kind and considerate and couldn't have done more for us.
In short Desert Springs is a great place for a short or long break /holiday.
“A very special place for a family reunion – Easter Holiday 2014”
Having last stayed at Desert Springs for the most beautiful blessing on our wedding by my Grandpa (ex-vicar) in 2007 (with every thought met and almost every special person we knew with us), I thought it would have been impossible to compete with the last experience; but I was wrong.
This time returning with our two small children it was different but we had a very precious time reuniting with family and also experienced the wonderful Desert Springs through their eyes.
Whilst we caught up with family and friends we were able to enjoy the unique views of the desert golf course (a paradise for golfers), switching off and catching up in the spacious and extravagant houses (which you can quite easily share between families to double or triple the fun), excellent food and service and of course a pampering from the beauty salon.
At the same time our 3 and 5 year olds were in heaven. Seeing their cousins is always special as we live abroad, but everything was fun from fish watching, laughing with staff and playing endlessly in the pool. It was so well organized and everything such good quality it was easy to relax.
At night 5 children huddled together to hear that nights children stories whilst men made BBQ's, or we had easter egg hunts in the very large garden (full of hiding places). Other nights we all ate out within Desert Springs and children were given drinks to toast together and were safe to explore.
It really is a place where there is something for people of all ages.
Very simply; upon arrival, the surroundings make you relax and then you enjoy being spoilt!
We returned to the Crocodile Club (which is place that stands alone for its clever design, food and beautiful pools) to show the children where we received our blessing and it was a lovely moment to share with them, but for them not least to find an exciting hidden play area just behind!
For us Desert Springs is a very special place, we would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of a wedding or simply just a spoiling in a very special unique place golfer, or not.
Absolutely brilliant.
There is nothing I can complain about this resort.
Accommodation, staff, food etc all top class.
Definitely go there again.
Eight of us went for a four day break and nobody wanted to leave.
Everything about the place oozes class.
Hi Tania
Just a short note to thank the staff at Desert Springs for looking after us – again – in such style and indulgence!
We all had a ball, the company was great (even sharing a room with Jonathan) the golf was great (special thanks to your guys who looked after the buggies and clubs and let us mess about with starting times ) the eating and drinking was great, the weather was great – in fact the whole trip was just great – so thanks for all your attention to detail and for making it go so smoothly.
Ian
PS. Please pass on my and our (I know H was dealing with it) grateful thanks to all your staff who looked after us so tremendously well.
They are a huge asset to Desert Springs, and did us proud!

Firstly our party of 5 called in for breakfast on April 27, had it on the decking, superb, then on April 29th we came for dinner, the 3 adults had the set meal and the children ate from the deck menu.
The service & food was top class and outstandingly well priced, a brilliant evening was had by all, can't wait to return, only wish the crocodile club was open, a brilliant venue.
“Awesome break in the sun in the crazy desert surroundings!”
What a fantastic week.
A very relaxing break in the fantastic desert surroundings with the family.
After a solid breakfast in the club house with the tasty freshly squeezed desert springs orange juice it was difficult to leave the easy going pace around the pool with the kids!
The setting of the golf course is stunning and provides a completely different perspective to the wonderful atmosphere in the villa!
“Family Holiday in Desert Springs Paradise”
My family of various ages from me Granny down to the 5 young grandchildren, have just returned from the most amazing holiday in fabulous Desert Springs.
I arranged flights to arrive in Alicante as my daughter lives in Rome with her 2 children whereas my 3 sons live in England with their families.
Staff at Desert Springs very efficiently arranged for a private bus to transfer us back to our luxurious villas, complete with their own pools for an extremely comfortable holiday with activities to suit all ages.
Breakfast in the Clubhouse every morning with delicious selections, including freshly squeezed orange juice from their own trees, was a great start to the day.
We then could choose from Golfing, Tennis, Swimming, Cycling, Football Pitch, Children's play Area at the Crocodile Club, Massages and Treatments by Karen in the Day Spa or in our own villa, visits to local beautiful close sandy beaches, markets and many more activities.
The sun shone beautifully and so we were all able to enjoy the various activities, ending with a fabulous tasty dinner in The Clubhouse, Crocodile Club or Bar b q in our villa.
Staff were extremely efficient, pleasant and looked after us all, making our stay the best holiday ever.
I cannot praise enough and can honestly say this is a hidden delight which needs to be seen to be believed. Such a great place with continual sunshine, so close to home that it is easy to visit and already I am planning a return annual visit as it suited all our ages and requirements much more than I could have ever hoped for.
We have just returned from an amazing family holiday to Desert Springs.
Our party consisted of 8 adults and 5 children.
We stayed in two luxurious villas overlooking the golf course, one with it's own pool.
Our villa exceeded our expectations, it was modern, spacious and had all the facilities we could have wished for and was very clean and well maintained.
We found the restaurants to be very good value for money, the food was delicious and the staff were very attentive and friendly.
Our children were very happy to stay on resort, they loved playing in the pool and we visited the play area on a daily basis, but we did also hire a car and visited a nearby beach which was literally 5-10 minutes drive away.
The male members of our group took advantage of the championship golf course and enjoyed a daily round of golf, whilst the female members took full advantage of the beauty treatments available.
We absolutely loved the resort and would definitely recommend and hope to return in the near future.
Dear Sandra,
We had a superb trip to Desert Springs at the end of March.
Accommodation – clean, immaculate and well serviced. Exactly what I would expect!
Resort – staff were superb. Welcoming, friendly and had plenty of time to stop and chat. Very impressed!
The quality of food in the restaurant was superb. Fresh, well presented food.
Course – was in excellent order. Greens, tees and fairways were all exactly as I would expect.
The practice area was in beautiful condition.
Look forward to my next visit!
