“Fantastic setting”

“We came here twice in one week and it was fabulous.

There was four of us and we all had lunch, which I must say was fantastic.

Two of us shared the nachos which was far too much for us so beware it’s enough for four.

The setting is idyllic, so peaceful, especially if you sit by the stream watching the birds and fish.

The staff are really friendly and very obliging.

This is a real must for a quiet afternoon, great food and drink.”

“I can recommend Desert Springs” 

I was born and live in Cuevas del Almanzora. 

From the moment I discovered Desert Springs I became a regular client in their restaurants. 

First, I fell in love with the Crocodile Club and its burgers!  Afterwards I discovered El Torrente and the Cave. I always find it incredible that such extraordinary places are so close to us. 

I think that many people really are not aware of just how good the food is here and at prices affordable to everyone, with the added value of being able to enjoy the location and ambiance that transport you away. 

I am a regular client and take friends and family to Desert Springs when they are visiting the area.  The result is always the same – they have a wonderful time and are always amazed and surprised by the food as well as the beautiful place. 

I can recommend Desert Springs. 

“If you get an invitation to stay at this resort you will certainly enjoy the stay”

Staying to Desert Springs Resort is a relaxing time, you will need a car as the resort is some distance from the local towns and beaches, I stayed here in April, the weather was fantastic, the properties were beautiful with some lovely evening walks around the Golf course, it was about 1 hours’ drive from the airport on some great roads.

“I wanted to take the time to thank you for people like Jose”

Dear Peter, 

Having had a rather eventful journey down to Spain, I arrived late, in the dark, to find it impossible to turn on the mains water in my parents villa. I did get the tool box out and try myself, but feared I would make the situation 100 times worse!

The El Torrente staff working that evening were so helpful, they offered to call concierge. 

Jose arrived, with his WD40 and hammer and had the water on within minutes, even got the boiler working. He also helped me two years ago when I sadly had to call an ambulance for my Mother-in-law, he even asked after my Mother-in-law this year. 

I am sure you get emails moaning about everyday things here at Desert Springs, well I wanted to take the time to thank you for people like Jose. He, along with a few other members of staff are what make this place different and special.

Kind regards

“Fantastic restaurant, with very well cooked and presented dishes, excellent service”

Highly recommended!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant, the dishes are very well presented, and the cuisine they practice is of a very high quality.

The service is fantastic, and all the waiters always try to please.

It really met the expectations we had when we went there.

“We could not have found a better place in terms of quality, ambience, support, and professional yet friendly accommodating staff.”

“We first came to Desert Springs looking for a wedding venue.

As neither we, nor the majority of our guests, live in Spain we needed a venue which could help us with wedding suppliers and formalities.

Not only is the venue totally stunning but as soon as we arrived we received a friendly welcome by the staff and were introduced to Ellie Hunter, events co-ordinator.

From the first moment we met Ellie we knew we were in good hands.  Nothing was too much trouble for her and she had so many fabulous ideas on how we could make our wedding week at the Desert Springs Resort absolutely perfect.  The events team catered for our every need (including arranging for accommodation at the Resort for our 40+ guests).  We were introduced to all the wedding suppliers we would need, and Ellie often liaised with them where we didn’t have the language skills to co-ordinate ourselves.  In the run up to our big day we were kept up to date with all the arrangements and Ellie personally ensured we had everything in place, so we did not have a moments worry.

When it came to our wedding weekend, each of our guests were met welcomed and showed to their accommodation.  On our first evening we had a wonderful paella night at the Desert Springs Cave where we could welcome our guests to our wedding week and get the party started.

The wedding day itself was a total dream and went like clock-work thanks to the personal care and attention of the team: – from drinks and canapes to the ceremony to the wedding breakfast and photos onto the fun evening at the Crocodile Club.

The food was totally delicious and a topic of admiration from all the guests for every meal and whenever we or our guests went for coffee or dinner throughout our stay we received the best care and attention of Adria, restaurant manager, and his team.  We even managed to play a round of golf on the first-class golf course at the resort.

In short, we cannot recommend Desert Springs Resort enough as a wedding venue.  We could not have found a better place in terms of quality, ambience, support, and professional yet friendly accommodating staff. Thanks to everyone who made our day the best day ever, so many memories and we’ll be back at Desert Springs often for sure.”

“I really don’t have a bad word to say about Desert Springs.

My mother-in-law owns a villa there and we stay normally for a week.

The whole grounds are kept immaculate, it’s always very quiet and there’s plenty on site to do if you’re more active.

The staff are incredibly helpful, cheerful, polite and professional.

If this place isn’t a little paradise, I don’t know what is.

If I could live here I would!!”

Golf break

“We stayed in a 3-bedroom apartment that was perfect for us.

The clubhouse bar and restaurant were great – good food at reasonable prices.

The golf was fantastic with probably the best greens I have played on.

Definitely recommend. “

“What a fabulous tranquil setting, as I have said loved and appreciated by us all.” 

Dear Malcolm,

Following our societies visit to your fabulous resort yesterday, I wrote to our organisers to say just how much we all enjoyed our day, I am not sure whether our thanks have been passed on but just in case they have not we would like to do so directly. 

All your staff, golf, bar, restaurant and reception gave us all such a warm welcome and looked after us all superbly during the day both on and off the course, please thank them all on our behalf.

Your course, its design, standard of maintenance and ambience is just superb, you should all be really proud of it! What a fabulous tranquil setting, as I have said it was loved and appreciated by us all.

We have decided to make Desert Springs an annual event around this time and we all look forwards to visiting again although I am sure many of us will visit independently before next May.

Once again, a big thank you to you all.

Kind Regards

Gilly Paton 

“Sir, if I can give you any help please ask”.

Good Evening Malcolm

Alamo Golf Society played Desert Springs Golf Course on Sunday 24^th March. Upon arrival we were greeted by the gentleman who does the buggies and it was a pleasure to hear welcome to Desert Springs “Sir if I can give you any help please ask”. Went into the Club House and the 2 ladies on reception where an absolute pleasure to deal with. Met yourself and I have to say you are an absolute gentleman to deal with and speak to.

All our members met in the club house which was really nice with a great atmosphere and a beautiful big log fire burning. Service was top notch and a number of our members sampled the fair from the kitchen. Each and every member who dined said the food was excellent and would recommend eating there to anyone.

The course was really well laid out and a true challenge to play. No 2 holes where the same and it was nice to play on a course where you do not play driver off all the par 4’s and par 5’s. A real thinkers course plays pretty difficult but a very fair challenge of golf. Par 3’s where all different and if you landed the ball in the right place you have a good chance of a 2. Greens where really fast but also very true.

I have to say that I and all of our members really look forward to playing Desert Springs again in the very near future. I would recommend Desert springs to any Golfer for the Golf, service, and all-round experience.

Massive thanks again to you and your team for organising and delivering the event seamlessly for our large group.

“Couldn’t be better!”

This is our first visit to the Resort, and I can assure you I will return, it is an oasis in the middle of the desert, excellent cuisine and customer service.

There is a very good relation between quality and price.

“Excellent place”

There are already several times that my wife and I have gone to eat and it is always a delight.

An exquisite meal, good treatment, quiet atmosphere.

We will keep repeating.

“Enchanting place”

The attention to detail, service and the quality of the food are very good, exotic touches such as Mexican, Moroccan, etc. very successful.

There is a very good relation between quality and price.

The restaurant and the place are lovely, you can notice this as soon as you arrived at the Resort, you feel that you have travelled to Colonial America. After your meal there are great sofas with a fireplace for winter and a terrace for summer, so, you can chill and have drinks after lunch or dinner.

Highly recommended.
