Regrettably
Reviewed March 4, 2024
The hotel of Girona certainly did justice to its promise of a lavish golfing retreat. The field was expansive, with all options available for the discerning golfer, satisfying even the most high-set standards. The spa also lived up to its potential, delivering a level of service that was commendable. It provided a calm sanctuary, offering respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Regrettably, the experience at the restaurant did not match the quality found elsewhere in the hotel. It is disheartening to report that it is not worth mentioning; a stark disparity to the otherwise top-notch offerings.
If the authorities maintain consistency in all parts of the hotel, the overall experience could elevate to a level that matches the standard.
It is important to mention some irregularities
Reviewed January 29, 2024
In the serenity of Girona lies a disconnected realm of serendipity, a hotel that's not merely an establishment, but a testament to beautiful nature. Here, the aesthetically captivating golf courses gracefully weave themselves into the intricate beauty of the place, a view that is a pleasure to one's soul. Everything in this wellness sanctuary, from the elegant rooms to the polished hallways, radiates an air of exquisiteness.
It is important to mention some irregularities. While it retains a charming ambiance, it is perhaps spoilt by the somewhat slow restaurant service. You might find yourself allotting extra time for a meal. Furthermore, the cuisine lacks a fair degree of diversity, with an abrupt and uncalled-for emphasis on proteins. Despite these factors, the establishment holds the promise of a well-rounded experience, a place that merges the thrill of golf with the calm of nature perfectly.
Don't make my mistakes
Reviewed October 30, 2023
Camiral Golf & Wellness Hotel in Spain is renowned for its lush golf course. With 18 holes, this course offers unique opportunities for golfers of all levels. It's my kind of turf, mate. I relished every round on this course, taking in the spectacular views and natural beauty all around. The pristine conditions and top-notch playing facilities make it a golf haven. I was expecting dinner to be a smashing finish to such an action-packed day, especially given the rest of the hotel's excellence. But if you ever decide to step into restaurant 1477, don't make my mistakes, just steer clear of the "Sea Bass"!
Good
Reviewed October 17, 2023
The restaurant 1477 at the hotel left a rather unsatisfactory impression. We ordered a steak, which was tough to chew. However, other aspects of our stay at this hotel were fantastic. The golf course was simply breathtaking, and the level of service there was commendable.
Top-tier Spanish championship course
Reviewed October 13, 2023
Camiral Golf and Wellness golf course absolutely blew me away with its magnificence. This top-tier Spanish championship course, nestled in the heart of Costa Brava, left me truly inspired. The landscapes here are simply breathtaking, and every swing becomes a genuine pleasure. Gripping the club on that first tee, I felt the excitement and adrenaline rush that only golf can deliver.
I must give special recognition to the stadium course, undoubtedly one of the most impressive layouts I've ever laid eyes on. Every green and obstacle was meticulously manicured and brilliantly designed. This place is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Moreover, they offer a kids' tour, making it an excellent choice for family getaways. My children were thrilled to have the opportunity to play golf at such a level. The modern golf center also deserves a notable mention. It provides everything you need to improve your game, including personalized lessons and practice facilities.
I have to say, golfing at Camiral Golf and Wellness exceeded all my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place to golf enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and lovers of beautiful scenery. This golf resort truly left me with unforgettable memories. However, even in such a fairy-tale setting, there were some dark aspects. Without going into detail, I'll just say that dining at the 1477 restaurant is a bad idea.
Perfect condition, but the restaurant service...
Reviewed October 6, 2023
The golf course here is in perfect condition, and every section offers a unique challenge for golfers of all levels! This is what initially drew us to Camiral. However, the restaurant service was subpar, which was quite disappointing. Fortunately, we had a car, so going elsewhere for a meal wasn't an issue for us.

Lemme tell ya, I haven't had this much fun in ages! The golf course was absolutely fantastic, no doubt about it. Me and my friend had a blast out there. But let me just say, the service at Restaurant 1477 was a real letdown. The waitstaff seemed all over the place, like they had no clue what they were doin'. It was a complete mismatch with the rest of the hotel's vibe, I gotta say.

Living up to the hype??
Reviewed May 11, 2012
Having been exposed to all the hype about the Number 1 Ranking in Spain, we arrived with great anticipation, but feel apologetic to report that the course is over-rated and under-maintained. The fairways are in decent shape, but NOWHERE near PGA TPC level. Most of the greens are noticeably pockmarked with dried and browned pitch marks, a sure sign of a clientele without the culture of repairing such, and a lack of ground-keeping practice to patch up.
The front nine of the Stadium course is next to some Go-Kart or Motor-Cross track and the loud rattling of engines ruins any semblance of tranquility. The back nine borders a busy highway, and #17 & # 18 are at the moment overshadowed by construction cranes. The resort is preoccupied with its real estate development and may have taken the golfing a bit for granted. It is by all account, a very good public course but not much more.
On a positive note, the staff in the pro shop, restaurant, and on course are very friendly, helpful and efficient.
Played Stadium course on May 10,2012.

Tour - Excellent condition, slightly less exciting than Stadium
Reviewed November 30, 2022
As promised in my March 6th review - next drive through, next round here. This time we played the tour course. As with the stadium course, the quality of the entire system is very convincing. Tees, fairways, greens - all great! The "trappings" were just as perfect as in March.
In my opinion, the tour course differs from the even more attractive stadium course in that it has a somewhat more boring design. The fairways are significantly wider, a little shorter and are very similar, especially on the first nine holes. The second nine holes are visually more exciting.
But that should not be a reason not to play this course. I only recommend the Stadium course to those who only have time for one course.

2 top places! Be sure to play!
Reviewed June 7, 2022
Just returned from 5 days at Hotel Camiral.
2x stadium and 1x tour cours played (1x external).
I have never played two such perfect courses in Europe! The entire facility is terrific: practice facilities... clubhouse terrace... team... ambience... courts: everything at the top level!
Stadium more spectacular... each fairway is individual and great but also difficult: forget green in regulation... unless you're a single HCP'er and long hitter.
Tour a little easier/further/shorter... Condition also sensational. In the middle 4 lanes back and forth that you don't remember which hole was which. And the Autobahn is somewhat present. But also very beautiful!
The greens at both courses are incredible! I love it: lightning fast and super exciting. 3 putts is not uncommon... 4 putt also happens. If you take something like that personally, it doesn't feel good: more shots on the green than on the lane!
Now for the negative things:
I'm here for the third time and unfortunately the houses are getting closer to the fairways. Of course, the complex wants to sell houses... but it shouldn't tip over to a golf course between the houses... and that's starting to feel like it. Directly at the tee of the 12 on the left there is no house. And opposite there is a large new building. Hotel? Apartments? Let's see…
For me, tee-off boards and visible distance markings are also part of a relaxed day of golf. While this minimalism is pretty cool... a little more service would be better.
Complaining at the highest level: 15cm curbs without lowering are a bit annoying for our TiCads or rental trolleys.
But if you have problems like that, you're doing damn well! :-)
Conclusion: A must experience!
PS: Playing the 13 (stadium) at dusk will change your (golf) life!

We were in the area last December and were interested in a round (or two) beforehand. The mail traffic was a bit uninspired, so we dropped the project. Now we were in transit again and tried it again. What a good idea!
The stadium course was in perfect condition. Great fairways, exciting bunkers and fair difficult greens. I liked the design too. Staff - friendly from AZ. This is how golf is fun! And the round was worth every euro.
The service and food in the restaurant were also convincing. Conclusion: next time we're passing through, we'll be happy to stop here again. Muchas gracias por todo - nos veremos!

We have now played the course again in September after 2019. (Tour course). Great place, my best personal lap of the year. Platz also forgives a warped drive. Cart is not necessary in my opinion. There were three-wheeled push trolleys available for hire, which were absolutely sufficient.

* tour course * - pleasant, relaxing and beautiful.
Reviewed February 10, 2020
If you first played the stadium course in catalunya, then the second place, the * tour course *, is really relaxing and liberating.
* tour * is topographically similar to the * stadium *, so great in the shot, but it is much more open (forgiving) and also shorter. while * stadium * has ten par 4s over 400m in length, tour has no over 400m. the length-bolt must therefore be omitted. nevertheless there are still more than enough well placed bunkers and the many greens lying uphill still need a little extra length. the greens are lightning fast and at first glance you think they are only flat, ie easy to play. you can tell at a second glance that this is not the case. Tip: Before putting the game on, it's better to put the putting green 15 minutes over the driving range!!!
also on the * tour *: the only real lack is the completely missing information on the fairway at the tee.

The * stadium * course is an absolute championship course, of the finest quality. much up and down, many bunker (top sand) and water hazards. the place is difficult to play because a lot of length is required. slope 151 for the yellow men's deductions actually says it all. black championship has 155. only four out of a total of ten par 4 under 400m in length and the shortest par 3 has 169m. Add to that the lightning-fast undulating greens that make you desperate. conclusion: definitely no place for beginners,
The only real lack are the completely missing track information at the tee. that does not work and has cost the 5th *.

Both places were the highlights of our trip. The Tour course is easier than the Stadium Course and can be done on foot, while the latter is a challenge in terms of both golfing and physical condition.

Reviewed November 7, 2018
We played the courses in November 2018 and loved both courses.
Both the layout and the care state leave nothing to be desired.
The Stadium Course may be more challenging than the Tour Course, but both are hard to play due to the layout and the fast greens you rarely play.
In November, the place was very wet in 2 of 4 rounds due to previous rain, so the place played even longer than it already is.
The greens are not only fast, but also heavily undulating, so that again and again heavy flag positions arise that are difficult to play, especially if you do not know the place. 3 putts are not uncommon.
The care condition is especially unique compared to the other places in the area.
You can often see that already, what the greenkeepers care about. Often these are little things that would not even be perceived by anyone in other places.
The mentioned in other reviews construction noise is here and there to hear especially weekdays, but should have done within the next six months. Extremely disturbing, we did not find it. From the noise level maybe comparable to the greenkeeping with lawn mower or leaf blower.
The training possibilities are very good and the service in all places was also good.
Of the two affiliated hotels the Lavida is the simpler hotel on 3 star level, while the Camiral 5 star level and appropriate Aufenhaltsqualität offers.
All in all, 2 places that you should definitely include in your personal "To play" list.

The golf course is well laid out and the professional impression (PGA Square) ileicht recognizable. The area was very extensive, which has to be considered in time for the match preparation. The fairways. are well maintained and the greens very demanding fast. Very disturbing we found the extensive construction work in a very loud noise on the edge of the fairways on about 15 tracks of time (at full price). In the reception there was mentioned, but no mention of this magnitude. You play virtually at a construction site, which significantly reduces the golfing experience and does not justify the price.

The mentioned highway is only at hole 14 in's game, and I was not really disturbing, otherwise it was very quiet in the square, except Teebox 17, as they are building a new block of flats. We walked because all Buggy's were rented, we paid absolutely ok for 2 Greenfee's and 2 electro Trolley's € 204, in my opinion, for a European Tour course this quality. Who is not so good on foot, reserve definitely a buggy.

The Twighlight attractive green fee attracted us to the Spanish NUMERO UNO.
In early October 2012, we have now played both courses.
The first impression of Club House / Reception / driving range / staff were very promising. The Tour Course made a very neat impression - we both played almost alone in this interesting course a very relaxing round of golf.
The following day we were curious about the Stadium Course and were disappointed with the exact opposite here. Presumably, this course is very busy that divots and pitch marks are ubiquitous. Too bad that many players "forget" to fix it.
This course is demanding but still playing very attractive. If you miss the fairway from the tee, expects a ferocious rough. I would almost describe it as a "rubber grass"? We would hope the next time It also reflects a better state, which corresponds to the top ranking!
