"El Plantio is a great stay for a family vacation and golf. The rooms are spacious and clean. The pools are great and very well maintained. The restaurant offers good food, allthough the variety of the menu is lacking if you plan for a longer stay. Thankfully though, Alicante is close by, around 15 Minnute drive or taxi ride (ca. 20 Euros one way trip). All in all, if you are looking for a combined family and golf vacation for a reasonable price. I can with good conscience recomend El Plantio. Tip -The owner of El Plantio has recently also bought the Alicante Golf Course, and as a guest at El Plantio, one might get reduced Greenfee there too."
