Hotel Riu Santa Fe

About this hotel

The 24-hour drinks and snacks are the tell here: this is a base for a group that treats the trip as a full social occasion, not just a string of tee times. Fitness classes run daily for anyone keeping a routine between rounds, and the eight-minute walk to El Medano Beach makes an afternoon swim an easy add-on rather than a planned outing. Rooms stay modest rather than lavish, which keeps the focus on the pools, the bar and the beach rather than the room itself. For a buddies trip built around energy and company as much as golf, the round-the-clock service means nobody's night ends because the kitchen closed.
