Impressive Playa Granada Golf

Overview of Impressive Playa Granada Golf

Impressive Playa Granada Golf belongs to Impressive Resorts & Spas, a Spanish hotel group whose portfolio spans the Canary Islands, Andalusia and the Dominican Republic. This is the group's Andalusian beach resort, set on the Costa Tropical in Motril, on the Mediterranean coast of Granada province. Traveloka's listing records the building as dating from 2005 and describes a low-rise layout of 396 guestrooms spread over two floors, which gives the resort a sprawling, garden-and-pool feel rather than a tower-block one.

What sets the property apart from most beach hotels on this stretch of coast is the golf course that wraps around it. The resort sits beside Los Moriscos Golf Club, an 18-hole course that the resort describes as having flat fairways, views of the Mediterranean and views towards the Sierra Nevada. According to the official website, the first hole runs along the beachfront and holes three, four and five surround the hotel complex itself, so golfers can be on the tee within a short walk of their room.

The 4-star resort is classified on Traveloka as a resort rather than a city hotel, and its facility list reflects that: several pools, a spa and wellness centre, a kids club, tennis courts, an entertainment programme and a nightclub, alongside conference rooms and wedding services. For Singapore travellers combining the Alhambra and Granada city with a few days by the sea, it works as a self-contained coastal base with the mountains and the city both within a day trip.

Room Types at Impressive Playa Granada Golf

The resort has 396 rooms in total. Traveloka's property description says the guestrooms are individually decorated and lists minibars, flat-screen televisions with satellite channels, phones, safes, desks and private balconies among the room features. The official website sets out a ladder of room categories, summarised below from the entry-level doubles upwards. The exact categories offered for your dates on Traveloka may be named differently, so check the room cards on the live listing before you book.

Double Room Garden View

The official site describes this renovated double as having a double bed, a bathroom with shower and a private terrace overlooking the gardens. It suits couples who are more interested in the pools and golf than in a sea outlook.

Double Room Partial Sea View

Also listed as renovated, this room has a double bed, a bathroom with shower and a balcony with side views of the sea, according to the resort.

Double Room Front Sea View

A renovated double with a double bed, a bathroom with shower and a private terrace facing the sea. This is the category to look for if a direct Mediterranean outlook matters to you.

Impressive Superior Double Rooms

The resort lists several newer rooms under its Impressive label: the Impressive Superior Double Room, with a double bed, a sofa bed, a bathroom with shower and a private terrace overlooking the golf course; the Impressive Superior Double Sea View; and the Double Superior Impressive Side Sea View, which also has a sofa bed and a terrace. The sofa bed makes these a practical step up for small families.

Family Room

The renovated Family Room is described as having two bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and a private terrace, giving parents and children separate sleeping spaces.

Junior Suite Front Sea View and Impressive Deluxe

At the top of the ladder, the renovated Junior Suite Front Sea View adds a lounge area, a double bed, a sofa bed and a spacious terrace with sun loungers. The Doble Impressive Deluxe is listed by the resort at 67 square metres, with a double bed, a sofa bed, a bathroom with shower and two private terraces. Maximum occupancy is not published for every category, so confirm it on the room card for your booking.

Facilities and Amenities

The facility list here is long for a beach property. The official website describes four pools: an outdoor pool, an adults-only pool, a splash area for young children and an indoor heated pool with hydromassage. Traveloka's listing notes that the seasonal outdoor pool opens from 1 March to 16 December, so travellers visiting in late December or February should plan around the indoor pool.

• Spa and wellness: the Spa & Wellness Centre has a sauna, a jacuzzi, a Turkish bath, a water circuit and a glass-enclosed relaxation area, with massages, body treatments, facials and hairdressing available at extra cost. Traveloka notes that spa treatments must be reserved in advance.
• Sport: the adjacent Los Moriscos Golf Club, outdoor tennis courts, beach volleyball, archery, a fitness centre and a health club. The resort's golf page mentions a golf academy and rental of clubs, buggies and trolleys.
• Families: a kids club, a children's pool, children's games and a game room. The resort runs a Mini Club for younger children and a seasonal Teens Club with board games, PlayStation and table tennis.
• Entertainment: an animation programme with daytime activities and evening shows, adult entertainment and a nightclub that operates seasonally.
• Events: meeting rooms, conference rooms, a banquet space and a reception hall, plus wedding services. The official site mentions an auditorium with capacity for 400 people.
• Practical: free WiFi, a lift, a garden and terrace, a safety deposit box, smoke-free areas, coffee and tea in the lobby, bicycle storage and on-site self parking (charges apply and spaces are limited).

Guest services listed on Traveloka include a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, multilingual staff, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage and a business centre. A hair salon and gift shop are also listed among the facilities in the area.

Location and Getting There

The resort's address is Calle Rector Pascual Rivas Carrerra 1, in the Playa Granada beach zone of Motril, postcode 18613. Traveloka places it 0.1 km from Los Moriscos Golf Club and 0.8 km from Granada Beach, with Punta del Rio Beach and Platja de Ponent also within roughly a kilometre or so. This is the quieter western edge of Motril, between the port town and the neighbouring resort of Salobreña.

Nearby points listed on Traveloka include:

• Ron Montero Winery, a rum producer about 2.8 km away
• Charca de Suarez, a coastal nature reserve about 3 km away
• Playa de La Charca, about 4 km away
• Paseo de las Flores and La Fuente Park in Motril town, about 6 km away
• Salobreña Castle, about 6.1 km away, and Salobreña's beaches a short drive west
• Aqua Tropic Waterpark in Almuñécar, about 17.2 km away

Traveloka lists Federico García Lorca Granada Airport (GRX) as the preferred airport, around 84 km away by its distance data; the resort also points guests flying in via Málaga Airport. Singapore travellers usually connect through a European hub, so compare flights to Granada or Málaga on Traveloka before fixing your dates. A car is recommended for getting to and from the property, and the resort can arrange a roundtrip airport shuttle on request for a surcharge. The official site puts the Sierra Nevada ski area about 50 minutes away, and the resort also offers car rental.

Dining at Impressive Playa Granada Golf

The main restaurant is the Motril Buffet Restaurant (listed on Traveloka as Restaurante buffet Motril), which the resort describes as serving international and themed buffets with a sea-view terrace. Traveloka records one restaurant and three bars or lounges, along with a snack bar, a beach bar and a poolside bar.

• La Palapa: the poolside bar for cocktails and snacks.
• Reception Bar: drinks in the lobby.
• Mirador de la Reina: a sky bar terrace for cocktails with sea views, open depending on the season.
• Seasonal à la carte venues: the official website also lists El Olivo (Spanish), Villa Magna (Italian), Marjal (Mediterranean) and La Pérgola, a tasting-menu restaurant subject to a minimum stay. Some of these close outside the main season, so check what is operating for your dates.

Continental breakfast is served daily from 7:30 to 10:30 for a fee, according to Traveloka, and the resort sells all-inclusive packages on its own site. The kitchen offers gluten-free and vegetarian menus, baby food and dishes for guests with food allergies. Away from the resort, Motril's town centre and the seafood restaurants of Salobreña and Almuñécar are all a short drive away, and you can browse tours and activities around Granada if you want to add an Alhambra visit or a Sierra Nevada excursion.

Why Stay at Impressive Playa Granada Golf

Golf is the obvious draw. With Los Moriscos Golf Club right next door and holes running around the hotel complex, you can step out of your room and be on an 18-hole course that also looks out over the sea within minutes. Non-golfers get a beach within walking distance and four pools to rotate between.

Families are well catered for, with a splash pool, a kids club, a seasonal teens club and Family Rooms with two separate bedrooms. Couples can retreat to the adults-only pool, the spa circuit and the sea-view terraces of the higher room categories, while the conference rooms and auditorium make the resort a practical option for events and weddings.

The heated indoor pool and spa also make the resort a reasonable choice outside the peak summer months, when the Sierra Nevada is close enough for a day in the snow. If you want something smaller or closer to Motril town, compare other hotels on the Costa Tropical on Traveloka.

Tips for Booking Impressive Playa Granada Golf on Traveloka

1. Pick your view deliberately. The room ladder runs from garden-view doubles to front-sea-view rooms and suites; golfers may prefer the Impressive Superior rooms that overlook the course.
2. Check pool and venue seasons. The outdoor pool runs from 1 March to 16 December, and several à la carte restaurants and the nightclub are seasonal.
3. Breakfast and parking are extras. Continental breakfast and self parking are charged separately unless your rate includes them, so read the rate details.
4. Bring a card. Traveloka's check-in notes say the property accepts credit cards and does not accept cash, and photo ID plus a card or deposit may be needed for incidentals.
5. Book spa treatments early. Massages and treatments must be reserved before arrival.
6. Know the times. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00; late check-out may be available for a fee. Pets are not allowed.
7. Arrange transport. A car is recommended, and the airport shuttle must be requested in advance.
