Mijas Golf: TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence

Mijas Golf International has received a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence award. Now in its fifth year, the award celebrates excellence in hospitality and is given only to establishments that consistently achieve great l reviews on TripAdvisor. Certificate of Excellence winners include accommodations, eateries and attractions located all over the world that have continually delivered a superior customer experience.

When selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honourees that takes into account the quality, quantity and recency of reviews and opinions submitted by travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period as well as business’s tenure and ranking on the Popularity Index on the site. To qualify, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.

Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at Mijas Golf International and we’d like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor,” said Lorenzo Pérez Cortes, managing director at Mijas Golf Club. “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognised by one’s customers. With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence.”

\"TripAdvisor is pleased to honour exceptional hospitality businesses that have received consistent praise and recognition by travellers on the site,” said Marc Charron President, TripAdvisor for Business. “By putting a spotlight on businesses that are focused on delivering great service to customers, TripAdvisor not only helps drive increasing hospitality standards around the world, it also gives businesses both large and small the ability to shine and stand out from the competition.”

THE GECKO TOUR, AT MIJAS GOLF

The Gecko Tour, a winter circuit played on the Costa del Sol, will hold one of its legs at Mijas Golf during the next season (20015-16), The event will be held from 14 to 16 December, a three-day tournament played at the two Mijas Golf courses, Los Lagos and Los Olivos. It will be the last event of the first part of the Gecko Tour: i.e. a potentially decisive leg for the eventual final result.

Mijas Golf is making its debut on the Gecko schedule, a significant initiative that the Costa del Sol club is looking forward to with maximum anticipation and enthusiasm. “It represents a promotional impact at a national level,” says manager Lorenzo Pérez Cortés. “Mijas Golf, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2016, is very well known around Europe, especially in such countries as England, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, etc. All those countries have been providing Mijas Golf with clients for the past four decades. However, at a national Spanish level golf was barely played two decades ago, even though it is much more popular these days. So it is extremely important for us to become better known among the Spanish public, who can follow the circuit on TV and through other national promotional media.”
