Hotel

The 133 bedroom, 5-star DoubleTree by Hilton La Torre Golf & Spa Resort is located within the resort, together with several bars, restaurants, shops, a large supermarket, a bank, two tennis courts and 22 communal swimming pools of various sizes. The town centre, located in the middle of the resort near the hotel is a hub of activity, consisting of a hairdressing salon, an Irish bar, a night club, a small ice-cream shop, an Italian restaurant, a Tapas bar and a few other features. [1] Initially managed by Intercontinental hotels, the hotel closed down in 2012 and was later acquired by a Chilean group Pedro García Meroño and Facundo Armero, trading as Phoenix in 2016. From January 2019 the property is operating as DoubleTree by Hilton La Torre Golf & Spa Resort.
