La Galiana Golf Resort- Adults Only

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.

A clean modern hotel in a scenic location. Good size rooms with hi-tech features and great views to the golf course. A Nespresso coffee machine is provided as like many other hotels. However, unlike other hotels, for every coffee pod used in the room you will, (unexpectedly), be charged 2 euros at checkout listed as 'minibar'.

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.

I can´t even begin to say enough good things about our stay at La Galiana. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable – reception, pool bar, the restaurant . . . everyone was so attentive and seemed to love their work. The hotel itself is beautifully located at the top of a mountain, the design is perfect, attention to every small detail. Beautiful furniture, warm inviting wood and huge windows that make you feel like you are outside all the time. My room was beyond perfect with the a beautiful view of the garden, nice patio furniture on the private patio, a luxury. The bathroom was large and beautiful with both a bath tub and a shower that had an amazing water pressure and products from Rituals that I really like ! The spa was a special chapter – my massage was perfect, so was the sauna. I did not use the gym as we spent all mornings at the golf course but everything was so well organized and beautiful. The golf course is amazing – very challenging to say the least. The surroundings and the design makes this golf course unique, definitely the best I have ever played. Looking very much forward to come back to La Galiana, We noticed that they are building a new club house which will be the perfect addition to this already . . . almost perfect place. To the staff a La Galiana - you could not have done anything else to make our stay memorable. There are good hotels and well designed golf courses all over the world – it is people like you that make the difference between very good stay and perfect stay ! TAKK FYRIR OKKUR !

A new, modern hotel in the hills overlooking an excellent golf course. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with a very comfortable room and bathroom near the swimming pool and overlooking the golf course. The spa was also excellent and very quiet when we were there so most of the time we had it to ourselves. it was also included in the room charge. Residents of the hotel received favourable rates at the golf course and staff were helpful in advising the best tee times, so that we didn't have to wait on the course. The only draw back for us (in October) was that there weren't many restaurants in the vicinity - many were apparently closed at this time of year. The menu in the hotel was quite limited the first evening but in the weekends there was an excellent buffet and that included freshly cooked meats and fish on the grill. We suggested they should advertise it better as it was well worth having! In all a very comfortable resort for golfers and not too commercial!

Superb hotel-resort located in a unique setting. Mountain views and a golf course. Magnificent contemporary building of exceptionally beautiful architecture. Rooms are surprisingly large and equipped with everything. Comfortable beds. Excellent restaurant. Important: in the evening only hotel guests can dine. In the afternoon everyone, including non-hotel guests, can eat for lunch. Spacious car park. Friendly welcome.
