    〝We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday〞

    We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, the resort, hotel and golf courses were fabulous (as was the weather). A great location which suited us all, the hotel was clean and the staff most welcoming and helpful. The food is great and lots of choices and as much as you like. The golf courses were challenging in their own way but in good condition and we would be happy to play both North and South again. All in all a great holiday and thank you and your team for arranging the trip for us.

    〝Brilliant service.〞

    We have been booking with golf escapes for 20 years. We have always had fantastic service. They also advise if a course is due maintenance while you are there and suggest alternatives.

    〝A Really Good Experience〞

    They organised a bespoke trip for us. We didn't know the area but we enjoyed an excellent 4* hotel in a super, up market resort and played 3 brilliant golf courses. Transfers to and from the airport and to the courses was organised by them and worked beautifully. A really good experience.

    〝We can't speak highly enough〞

    Just returned from two really enjoyable weeks in Islantilla. Though the hotel has been taken over by Hilton, the staff are all retained and nothing is too much trouble. Can't fault the facilities, the food, the clubhouse, and the three courses are a joy, (extra balls for hole 2 on the blue course). The whole holiday went so smoothly and we can't speak highly enough of the friendly help and excellent communications from Golf Escapes with all aspects of the holiday. Wouldn't bother to book with anyone else.

    〝Usual excellent service from Golf Escapes〞

    Usual excellent service from Golf Escapes in arranging our trip to Belek. Golf courses at Sueno and Cullinan were excellent. We have been to Belek for over 10 years at the the end of May / early June but the weather this year was exceptionally hot touching 40c! However we don't hold GE responsible for this!!
