The hotel Barceló Montecastillo Golf & Sports Resort, one of the most emblematic establishments in Jerez, has been distinguished with the Andalucía Excelente 2017 Award in the Tourism category for its magnificent facilities, services and customer service. The hotel has recently undergone a major renovation of its rooms and common areas, highlighting its determination to incorporate the latest trends in hotel comfort. To this end, the rooms have been updated following a new B-Room concept. Rooms that adapt to the most demanding needs and stand out for being equipped with premium rest elements such as queen size beds, panoramic raindance showers, complimentary kettle service with coffee and tea, 42″ high-definition TV screen and free Wi-Fi. The exteriors and common areas have also been renovated to give them a more elegant and contemporary look. As has the U Spa, its 1,400-square-meter wellness center.
The 18-hole golf course – home of the Volvo Masters for five years and three of the Peugeot Tour, which was designed by American Jack Nicklaus, arguably the greatest golfer of all time – has also undergone improvements in bunkers and rough, using an exclusive sand tested by professionals. Likewise, the original design of the lake on holes 10 and 17, which Jack Nicklaus defined as “one of the most spectacular places on the course”, has been recovered. On the other hand, in homage to its designer, a reform of hole 3 has been carried out, which now has a central island crowned with a centenary olive tree that gives shade to a representative botijo as one of the symbols of Montecastillo.

In keeping with its faimily friendly philosophy, Barceló Montecastillo has added new, colorful, pet-friendly, single-family villas for up to six people, offering independence, spaciousness and comfort in a unique, natural setting.
