Travelled to stay in this hotel for 4 nights with a golfing group. The hotel looks a little dated from the outside but the rooms and particularly the beds are very comfortable. The whole place is spotless and very comfortable in all communal areas. It does surprise me that any hotel these days should fail to provide a Wifi service... More

Living 29 km from this hotel we sometimes stay overnight after dinner in one of the restaurants I will review in the restaurant section Tripadviser. The hotel is known having one of the best golf courses in the world and for gourmets it is a reason to stay occasionally a night for a rest after a nice dining. Internet is... More

Spent a week at Penina starting on Easter weekend. The hotel was impeccable throughout, really clean and tidy - absolutely faultless. The staff were excellent through out, particularly the maid service who went the entire week unseen but had managed to service our room whenever we left it! The room was excellent with a spacious balcony and lovely bathroom. The... More

We booked the hotel via Spg-program. The hotel staff gave good information both before arriving (e-mail) and when checking in. Welcome-drink is always nice to have after a long trip. As Spg-quests we got upgrading but only after two days because the hotel was fully booked. I strongly recommend to book a room with a pool wiew, garden/mountain wiew is... More

This resort was built in 1966, and in my opinion, is now seriously showing its age. Compare this offering to Golf resorts in similar resorts in the likes of Belek in Turkey Hotel: Stuck in a 1970’s time warp. 5 Star going on 3 Star!

Stayed here as part of a group (not golfing). The hotel has a very traditional feel to it and seems quite old fashioned. I'm late forties but I ended up feeling very young - it was a little bit stuffy. Rooms are well appointed and we had a lovely view over the golf course. I did think the bathroom could... More
