The best Golf Resort I’ve played in. The facilities so close to each other. The course amazing and a buggy needed for sure. Food was lovely. Highly recommend and we will be back. Amazing value for what we paid 💚

10 / 10

Good clean and tidy accommodation. Helpful staff and buffet offers a good range of food. YGT only offers semi all inclusive which offers free bar from 1700 and dinner. Paid 30€/day supplement for all inclusive which includes lunch/picnic and free bar from 1100.

Excellent staff and accommodation. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

10 / 10

Travelled here on a stag party with 10 other friends. Highly recommend. Hotel was extremely clean, very classy and the rooms excellent. Buffet breakfast was delicious, bar staff highly attentive and seating area outside perfect after a round of golf

10 / 10

The accommodation at the Barceló was very enjoyable the staff was very accommodating in the restaurant and bars as I golfing break you couldn’t ask for more

8 / 10

We were in a chalet which was slightly damp. Not in the actual hotel as I.expected

10 / 10

Lovely hotel. Great staff. One complaint - we asked for full board But found we had been sold half Board - Likely we should have checked.

10 / 10

If any one stays here please get a flight into jerez as it will cost you so much money from else where. The hotel itself was out standing staff friendly course was brilliant please get a buggy to go around the course as there are lot of hill and a fair walk from tee to tee

Fabulous stay for 4 couples - we enjoyed the hotel and close to Jerez for some sightseeing and amazing restaurants.

8 / 10

Been there before, catered for our every need, all staff, very professional and courteous, we had millionaires golf.

8 / 10

Hotel and facilities were great rooms getting a bit tired . Only negative is lack of entertainment as Hotel is isolated with no where to go - being a group of ladies we would have loved a dance in the evenings

10 / 10

Hotel is excellent food extensive & plentiful taken in a lovely restaurant with views over the course.

8 / 10

Very comfortable all the staff friendly and helpful food good and plentiful and plenty of variety Spa very good

2 / 10

I’ll start with the management, the rudest people I have ever met in my life especially the one with the glasses and the bald head, didn’t like our group and made up lies about us and called the police which then resulted in two of us being removed from the hotel on the first night for something that could have been sorted out very quickly if he leant how todo he’s job properly!! Shout out to the barman who joined in the football celebrations with us, couple of very nice men. The golf course, greens are nice and the holes are very good but for the actual condition it needs some TLC. As for the swimming pools they all open at 11am which is not acceptable as alot of our group like to get up early and have a swim. Ive never been to a resort that does this, far at to late!. Hotel room, hot and uncomfortable the aircon is rubbish! One of the nights they didn’t book any taxis for us to go into Cadiz they basically held us in the hotel and it was very uncomfortable and strange as they wouldn’t explain what was going on again very rude! Ive know spoken to everyone in the group and they have all said the same thing, they didn’t feel welcome and a lot of the stuff are very rude especially the one with the glasses and bald head we will never be returning and next year we will go somewhere with more todo on the complex and at least have a shop. So my overall experience is that I would never go back and none of the group would either it’s the rudest hotel I’ve ever been to and I’m really gutted about that as it was the first golf trip away with all my friends and it was ruined.

10 / 10

Stayed here many times the standard is always high

10 / 10

superb hotel as usual, staff are brilliant. unfortunately because of the condition of the golf course I doubt if we will ever return here.

10 / 10

Delightful and efficient staff, always helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean, the views from the rear were not great.

10 / 10

8 / 10

2nd visit to this very good hotel and course A perfect place to relax and unwind Staff friendly and efficient Course is tough with very fast greens even at this time of year Good location to explore Jerez and Cadiz; you won’t need more than a day in each We hope to return to the Barceló soon

10 / 10

Staff were brilliant Our tee time was moved on two occasions due to competitions. We were compensated with free buggies and played at different times. Buggies were compulsory pre 11am cost 42 euros!

10 / 10

5th visit and will be booking the 6th!

10 / 10

The room was superb the service was excellent

Excellent

The staff from reception to restaurants , bars, maintenance and golf employees made our whole stay a real pleasure with there professional and happy demeanour.

10 / 10

Excellent

10 / 10

Lovely hotel with very friendly helpful staff. It also has a lovely pool and a spa for an even more relaxing experience.

8 / 10

The only negative we have was the poor air con in the room which lead to sleepless nights.

10 / 10

Excellent accommodation, 6 double rooms with verandas and golf course views on all inclusive basis. Meals were good, reception staff, restaurant staff and bar staff excellent. Pro-shop well stocked with clothes and golf equipment. Golf Professionals were excellent also.

8 / 10

The food was a very high standard

10 / 10

Perfect

8 / 10

Great hotel, room was good, staff friendly, food was good quality although the buffet breakfast and buffet dinner format got a bit repetitive after 3 days.

10 / 10

The hotel itself was fine but looking a little tired in places.The rooms were very comfortable but again in need of redecoration.The restaurant had a very good choice of food, all well cooked and presented.A great option to have a packed lunch if needed whilst playing golf. All the hotel staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful.

10 / 10

Brilliant trip, staff at the restaurant’s and pro shop we’re attentive and really helpful…

10 / 10

Great hotel, friendly staff and position. Facilities superb.

10 / 10

We all had a great time at the hotel the manager and staff were excellent

10 / 10

Free room upgrade to overlook golf course. Fantastic views from balcony. Views from other side not good, several rows of unfinished apartments. Very good and varied choice of food and very clean. We were semi all inclusive which was same as half board with free bar ftom 17.00 to 23.00. Staff were first class.

8 / 10

Hotel was in a convenient location for the airport and for going into Jerez. Room was comfortable, staff very efficient. Food in restaurant was okay but a bit repetitive.

8 / 10

Comfortable hotel served by friendly, attentive staff. Bar ran out of Campari and lemons and no delivery of same next day; bar staff’s knowledge of making some cocktails limited which was slightly disappointing. Outdoor patio for drinks and light bites very welcoming but tables and chairs need a good clean (cushions need a good wash/replacing) - hence the lower mark for bar and food Minor quibbles tbh Will return for sure!

6 / 10

This is our third visit. I’d say the rooms are looking a bit “tired”. A couple of things. 1. The quality of the food has deteriorated. In particular the hot food was often just warm. 2. Try and avoid the period leading up to the Moto GP. This time the practice sessions were particularly noisy.

10 / 10

Excellent location for relaxing and enjoyable Golf on an excellent course which was both scenic and challenging but without being too difficult. The rooms are well appointed and staff are friendly and efficient. The food was of a very high standard with plenty of choice and variety to suit any palette. Having traveled extensively this was the first occasion that we have managed to leave the hotel and get onto the plane within an hour. Unbelievable efficiency at the airport. The taxi was just ten minutes which is such a nice way to end a trip.

8 / 10

We have been here several times over last 11 years and the hotel is still great. The room and hotel refurbishment has improved a good hotel.

10 / 10

Best place we have been by far

10 / 10

Accommodation was great we had a 2 bed villa over looking the 18th. Towels and beds etc seen to everyday. Food was excellant as were the staff. Only slight down side was location no other hotels, bars restaurants near by but it didn't spoil the holiday.

8 / 10

Firstly Your Golf Travel were excellent. Hotel was nice and rooms were spacious, had a one bed villa with a small kitchen. All inclusive was not as expected, could not get food between official times. No half way house or drinks carts on the course. There was water stations.Only one choice of beer (which was not for me) and all inclusive runs out at 23:00.Had four nights, 2 nights the food was great, 2 nights not so much. Staff were 5 star all the way. I would go back.

10 / 10

Very enjoyable, golf and hotel good

8 / 10

This was our 4th visit to this resort as we enjoy it so much - the hotel is a bit tired now and needs a bit of updating but it’s still ok for a short golf break

6 / 10

The hotel was clean with friendly staff,room was cleaned daily and overall great for a golf break away from the uk winter weather.

10 / 10

Fantastic golf experience. My entire party are unanimous in giving this trip an enthusiastic thumbs up. Well done Your Golf Travel and thank you for the opportunity to visit this top golf resort.

10 / 10

We stayed in the villas very comfortable very spacious and cleaned to very high standards

8 / 10

Our room was good and comfortable, although we couldn't adjust the temperature of our room which got a bit hot during the night. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

8 / 10

Hotel was lovely, breakfast was good but dinner awful.

10 / 10

Just one word- superlative ,as always. Upgrade to 4 excellent 2bed apartments most appreciated by everybody in group . Individual lockers in clubhouse facilitated leisurely walk from breakfast to first tee .

8 / 10

Good quality hotel Great helpful check in/front desk staff V good breakfast

6 / 10

We were put in a two bedroom villa which was fine but the sound carried through the adjoining door to next villa and from villa above so if you had noisy neighbours as we did it wasn’t ideal. I stayed on in Week 2 for a golf comp. and the neighbours were 20 something year old boys who partied till 3 so I with a certain amount of perseverance I got moved to hotel where rooms are really nice. Restaurant shut for refurb and good at adjacent hotel was dire. Many folk had stomach problems. Some staff lovely, a couple were rude and grumpy .

10 / 10

Treated like VIP' s from the minute we arrived. Upgraded to luxury apartment. Exceptional service everywhere we went in the hotel and golf resort. Had an amazing long weekend and cannot wait to go back there again. Only small disappointment was not getting a much earlier tee off time on our last golfing day. That apart I had a wonderful and amazing experience.

6 / 10

5th visit - Bar service indifferent. Restaurants buffet - service just about ok - but attention to detail poor - food etc not topped up. However staff cooking hot food to order - good. Quality of food good, management should go to Belek and see what inclusive means. Potentially could be a super hotel.

4 / 10

Rooms were clean but small. And would prefer to have more room between two single beds appointed next to each other.

6 / 10

A disappointing visit. For the first time, we upgraded to “superior” and were upgraded by the hotel from hotel room to 1 bed villa. We then had to report problems every day of our 6 day stay, from ants in the bed and kitchen, no hot water, noisy insufficient lighting, microwave smoking! shower head needed replacement, old rigid towels, bare minimum 2 cups, spoons etc but no cleaning facilities. If this is superior, I dread to see the others.

8 / 10

Was expecting the hotel to be a bit dated and tired considering the amount we paid for the whole trip but was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were fairly modern and comfortable and the hotel in general had good facilities, staff were good and sat in a good place overlooking the golf course.

10 / 10

Everything about hotel facilities first class could not fault it at all.

10 / 10

absolutely brilliant as always

10 / 10

8 / 10

Nice 4/5* hotel . Unfortunately despite brilliant sunny weather both outdoor pool areas closed with no sun loungers . Only pool available was small spa pool which cost E15 per swim . No spike bar although lovely sunny terrace to enjoy a coffee or post match beer.Hotel is next to jerez race track so be prepared for noice from motor cycle and race car testing?practice.

8 / 10

Overall we had a great trip and the weather was perfect for the golf at 23 deg. We even got a free room upgrade to one of the villa's which was great.

10 / 10

Barcelo Monte Castillo was a superb stay for the New Year. Clean,friendly, festive and professionally run. Staff were excellent and the organisation and execution of the gala dinner is to be commended.

10 / 10

The hotel was lovely, the buffet menu was really high quality and the breakfast was superb. The hotel standard was excellent and we thought the price was very reasonable too. All in all, we were delighted with the hotel.

8 / 10

Rooms clean and comfortable. Facilities good. Breakfast and dinner buffets were varied with plenty of choice

8 / 10

We have not stayed in this hotel for two years and they have continued to improve the embiance of the hotel and the buffet. It’s popularity and value for money meant that it was full and tee times difficult to book so I would suggest you book early.

10 / 10

8 / 10

We had a superior twin with golf views and the rooms were spacious and very clean, with great views and a balcony. The quality of the food was excellent and a great choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful with just a couple that were miserable

10 / 10

On arrival was offered a free upgrade to the villa's, so that was a big plus, food and drink all inc, no complaints service was very professional

10 / 10

I enjoy the entire set-up of the resort. The buggy fee is high, and can be windy.

10 / 10

All of the holes were quality. Great apart from having only Cruzcampo beer served in silly stubby glasses.

8 / 10

All holes were very interesting and enjoyable. If you are of middle H/C would advise playing from blue tees. The hotel was very nice and food was of good standard.

8 / 10

Nice hotel, although a bit tired. 18th and 9th holes were beautiful.

6 / 10

18th was a glorious par 4. Hotel average, and no food after 2pm until 7pm. i.e. No lunch, so drinks only and limited choice.

8 / 10

The hotel was excellent, but we were disappointed that there were no organised trips to anywhere. We paid for transport to Seville. Also, there weren't enough sun umbrellas at the pool and you couldn't get a drink at the pool either.

8 / 10

8 / 10

Hotel was good.

10 / 10

Great hotel & course.

10 / 10

Too many great holes to mention but the 12th was probably my favourite.

10 / 10

Golf course and the 3 nine holes were all good. Use a local caddy. Great hotel which is being updated end of the year. Food outstanding, very friendly staff, plenty to do and only 2 mins from the beach. The whole party loved it and would go back again.

8 / 10

Everything was top class. Tough but playable golf, good accommodation (recently upgraded) and great ambience and food.

8 / 10

Hole 18 was fantastic.

10 / 10

Fabulous course, venue and staff. I would definitely recommend and would go back. 

8 / 10

The course is well kept and challenging. The hotel has been recently upgraded. The staff are warm and friendly. The food is good to excellent depending on a la carts or buffet. The pool and spa are fab.

10 / 10

Challenging resort type course - good condition in Nov. Hotel was 3.5* in my opinion. Staff really friendly. Will return.

10 / 10

18th is a great hole though I didn't play it particularly well. It was a walkable course even though there were some long walks from greens to tees.

8 / 10

The hotel food and drink was cheaper than expected. You definetly need a buggy as there are long distances between holes. A fair test for all standards of golf. Not a bad hole on the course and was enjoyable to play the back 9 especially. However, the course does need a little TLC in places!

6 / 10

Hotel fine but there are too many non golfers on the course. Paid for unlimited golf but with rounds taking over 6 hours and no flexibility on tee times there's no chance of playing more than one round. The hotel was fine, all inclusive was good value and the food was a good version of buffet style catering.

8 / 10

Hotel is very top quality if a little remote; taxi or car to local restaurants. Golf course is top notch - tough but fair. Definitely worth playing.

8 / 10

Many stand-out holes. Buggy a good idea for first round at least. Hotel dating but local.

8 / 10

You need a buggy but they are quite expensive.

10 / 10

18th was fantastic.

6 / 10

The 18th hole is fabulous with an interesting elevated tee.

10 / 10

The 18th was my favourite hole. 

10 / 10

Just love this course. Favourite hole has to be the 18th with an elevated tee giving superb views and the challenge of hitting the fairway! Coming off the green to the terrace for a cool glass of Sauvignon. Doesn't get any better. 

8 / 10

The hotel is fine. Buffet choice is varied and rooms very comfortable. The course suits all levels of golf and has some interesting holes.

10 / 10

The 18th was the best hole for me, but a very challenging course, not for new starters in golf. The hotel is fantastic and the rooms are very comfortable. The all inclusive deal is very good value for money and there is a very good choice of food, from breakfast, lunch and dinner.

10 / 10

18th hole was brilliant. Long drive from Malaga but worth going if it is all inclusive.

6 / 10

The hotel was tired, the food was not great and the location was very secluded. Even though we had a hire car, there was nowhere really to go within an hours drive. However, the course itself we enjoyed and at the time of our visit, the greens were being repaired and airiated and what had been removed from greens were actually piled around or even in front of the greens.

10 / 10

Golf and hotel was first class and and had everthing for a great golf trip. Would go back anytime.

10 / 10

Hotel was great, as was the food. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

10 / 10

Great but very hilly course. 

10 / 10

The Hotel is top drawer, the staff are wonderful, the service is excellent. The golf course is a very tough test of golf and is not really suitable for anybody who is not a regular golfer, but, for a good golfer it is good. This year maybe due to the weather some of the tees were in poor condition and generally the bunkers were difficult to get out of as they were solid under a thin layer of sand. They have spent a lot of money over the last few years on the hotel and the course and it shows.

8 / 10

Hotel was excellent and the course was great, just make sure you book a buggy before you go. 

10 / 10

Love everything about Montecastillo.

10 / 10

Every hole unique, especially par 3's. Hotel excellent with superb food and service.

10 / 10

Take a camera onto the 18th tee.

10 / 10

Many nice holes and the hotel is just great.

8 / 10

Need a buggy, as long distances from green to tee. Need a car, as hotel is quite isolated.

8 / 10

Hotel was very good and the food excellent. Expensive buggies!

10 / 10

The 18th has to be the best but most testing hole of the course, water all down left side after an elevated tee shot and the mens tee is almost in the clouds. Very small green so approach shot needs to be accurate.

10 / 10

All aspects of the break were superb- course, hotel etc.

10 / 10

Quality hotel with a testing golf course and a wonderful Spanish Town nearby.

10 / 10

Very pleasant stay: golf course, hotel and weather were all great.

8 / 10

18th is a great finishing hole.

8 / 10

The 18th is spectacular and I enjoyed playing the 10th too. Hotel, food and staff excellent.

6 / 10

The course was good, although a lot of remedial work was being done. The 18th hole was dramatic and challenging but in a beautiful setting. This was our golf groups favourite hole. The hotel gave good value for all inclusive and service was good. The only criticisms were the constant daytime noise from the nearby Jerez motor circuit and the view from the front of the hotel which was just an unfinished building site.

10 / 10

5 star hotel and course at two star prices. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here. The course is quite long and challenging, and buggies are mandatory for starts before 11am. We used our own trolleys, but be warned, there is quite a walk from green to tee in a number of places where housing development is planned. We had booked bed and breakfast, but the hotel offers a set price buffet evening meal (3 courses and wine) which was excellent value. Montecastillo is quite remote, but well worth a visit.

10 / 10

Fantastic golf course suitable for all handicap levels.

8 / 10

Holes 9 & 12 are great par 5s but on this course you need to accept what your handicap is. Do not try to smash the course because it won't happen. Play to your handicap and you will have a great game of golf. You can play well and get 18/19 points on front nine, then you come up against the back nine, which is certainly a challenge.

10 / 10

18th hole is great. Hotel & facilities are good. It's a couple of miles out of Jerez motor circuit.

10 / 10

Favourite hole was the 1st in the morning mist, right after an awesome breakfast. Ending hole 18 gives spectacular views. And cerveca is right on the money after the course!

8 / 10

The 18th was a fantastic hole, with an elevated tee & I loved the beer on the 19th. Nice Hotel. Good breakfast.

8 / 10

No favourite holes. Hotel good but try to go when the motor cycling is not on as it can get a bit noisy.

10 / 10

All holes were interesting and a good challenge. Buggies are available but very expensive. However, at 70 years old and a lot of walking between greens to tees I would advise having one.

10 / 10

Loved our holiday at Montecastillo and will return. Only downside is that the room we were given on the deal was not course facing so we paid a supplement. Wouldn't be the same if you couldn't enjoy the view. 

10 / 10

Great venue if all you want to do is play golf or if you have a car, as it is a bit isolated. The staff were very helpful and the food in the restaurant was great. All in all, a great golfing holiday.

8 / 10

We had a very good trip all in all. The weather the first 2 days was awesome but it was a bit chilly and windy thereafter...still great fun though!   

The hotel room was very nice, and had just been renovated. I believe they are renovating all the rooms so the resort is on the up. The restaurants and bar were well decorated with a nice friendly atmosphere and the food although basic, was plentiful and tasty.

The golf course was great. Overall the greens, fairways and bunkers were all in great shape. The paths are starting to look slightly worn and battered but that happens with time I guess. It’s a little harder for the higher handicapper but still a great test of golf and very rewarding with some breathtaking views.

The members of staff at the resort were friendly and helpful overall and the pro shop assistant was even happy to book other courses for us during our stay.

YGT were top drawer. I was worried that booking through a travel agent would mean we suffer on comfort a little but not this time! We got a great deal too.

We would definitely go back to Montecastillo Resort and always via YGT.
