Not on the beach
The 196-room Precise Resort El Rompido is a luxury, family-friendly golf resort near the fishing village of El Rompido. The hotel is in a gorgeous, palm tree and tropical plant-filled setting, with many peaceful spots to sit, sun, swim, or, of course, golf. The 36-hole golf course, driving range, and golf school are the resort's centerpiece, so much so that the front desk features large arty photographs of golf balls. Rooms upscale, contemporary decor in neutral colors.
Scene
Modern and contemporary, with lush greenery and lots of space
The Precise Resort El Rompido is a modern, contemporary hotel surrounded by the Marismas del Rio Piedras national wetland preserve. The grounds are lush and beautifully landscaped, with lots of open space for wandering. The lobby is super stylish, furnished with elegant high-backed sofas, and decorated with gorgeous woods, rock gardens, sculptures, candlelight, and orchids. The high ceilings give the space an elite game lodge feel; walls of windows flood the area with natural light.The Son Saura Lounge Bar is chicly done in white, elegant grays, and exotic woods. There is often live music here in the evenings. La Galea is a more Zen-like bar option, where guests can hang and look out onto the wetlands. The poolside bar, El Faro, serves lunch and light bites all day, between dips in the water. The buffet restaurant, Binidalí, with its crisp white tablecloths, full place settings, including fine wine glasses, and elegant decor, belies the reputation of buffet dining. At the end of a long day of sunning, golfing, and other sports, there is ample opportunity to sip an exotic cocktail or local wine in an elegant setting.
Location
Near a fishing village, by a nature preserve
One hour from both the Faro and Seville airports, the Precise Resort El Rompido is located near a picturesque fishing village, and the resort runs a free tourist train back and forth to the village all day long. A free boat ferries guests across the Rio Piedros to a gorgeous, unpopulated beach exclusively for the hotel's guests. There is no shopping or dining in the immediate vicinity of the resort, which is set beside a wetlands preserve, but a short drive takes guests to a waterpark and go-kart track.

Private balconies with wood furniture, harmonious decor

Suites have a double-size whirlpool and an enormous rooftop terrace with sunbeds.
