dramatic contrasting sensational vista. hotels are numerous along this coast, the majority 5 star and All Inclusive, many with their own golf courses attached to the resort. They seem all to have been designed and developed with a quality and style commensurate to the location. We stayed at Sueno Golf and it was superb and amazing value for money.. Golf course development and construction has been carefully planned as to integrate into the location. Many noted and Internationally renowned architects have been utilised here. Indeed the standard is very much on a par with both the Costa del Sol and the Algarve.
