I could see my apartment in your video lol. You parked right opposite. In answer to how many properties, there are just over 1,700 homes on the resort. The closed part of the hotel jaq was referring to isn't part of the hotel. That is the 'Business Centre'. It has been closed for some years now and was owned and operated by Polaris World before they went bust. It was intended for conferences and functions and was very nice when it was operational. Hope my added info is useful to you guys and if it is give my comment a like. Cheers!

Thank you for adding your information - it helps others looking at buying or visiting. Jackie has just shown a video of the flood from Friday, hopefully it will be cleared up soon. Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)

I Live there!

Great place to live - many thanks for watching :)

[@TheOlivermasterson]

Would you recommend would you say the community fees are spent wisely and everything is taken care of ? Who’s responsible for painting the buildings?

[@PBazBarrett]

Yep one big resort all right.. Interesting place. They do like the golf. Thanks 4 sharing..

Thank you Baz, glad you enjoyed the tour - plenty of golf courses here if you got the money!!! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@BaqPaqJaq]

Nice review Shaun of my home resort! It’s a truly fab place to live. A car is necessary for living here, as it’s out in rural Spain, surrounded by fields, 20 mins to the nearest beach! On the resort though are swimming pools, an onsite supermarket, and the famous Kings College British school. 24 hour security, and all our gardening is done for us! I have a 3 storey 2 bed town house, community fee for it is less than €120 a month. Look forward to welcoming you back in summer Shaun when it’s at it’s liveliest!!!

[@stuartcrawford8796]

Thanks great info Jaq

Thank you Jackie for being my host and showing this amazing place where you live and giving me some more info on the place. Looking forward to come back later in the year in the evening to capture the night life here. Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@Darth_Gorilla]

Jaq Grafiq - EXPLORING MAR-MENOR & MORE! Have you tried the fish & chips at the Woodhouse yet Jaq? The best fish I've ever had!

[@TheOlivermasterson]

This resort and mar Menor seem the best.

It's a lovely resort. Many thanks for watching :)

[@chrisilogan8059]

An answer for Kate. In order to use the swimming pools you must have a residents/visitor wrist band which must worn I’m led to believe they are very strict on that rule. The Hilton charges a daily rate for the use of their facilities.

Thank you Chrisi, hopefully Kate has read your comment :)

[@3vimages471]

How is La Torre doing during the horrible virus? There seems to be numerous properties for sale on this golf resort. I am considering buying here .... if it was closer to the Mar Menor it would be the one for me.

I've a friend at La Torre and our keeping safe. We our only allowed to stay within our local towns. It's not that far from Mar Menor. Many thanks for watching :)

[@chrisilogan8059]

We have just bought on here and moving over June 25th. It’s an amazing place and beautifully kept. Our monthly fees are going to be 134 euros a month but may vary according to the property. Apart from the golf course it has the 5* double tree Hilton which has outdoor indoor pools, spa and gym facilities which all can enjoy. A spar shop. Hairdressers ,Play areas, tennis courts, shops, restaurants and pubs, there are football pitches and new paddle courts to be soon opened. the golf club is amazing with library and rooms to use not forgetting the restaurant and outdoor seating area. There’s plenty of walking areas too. We have an undercroft car parking area which belongs to our spacious apartment. There is also around 16 swimming pools in the resort. The market square is busy too on a Friday. Overall a beautiful complex to live on and you don’t have to play golf to live there either 🙂

Thank you Chrisi for all the information and good luck on your new adventure - it's amazing place as one of my friends live there. I'm re-visiting in the summer to capture the night life. Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)

[@chrisilogan8059]

It’s us that should be thanking you, because of your great videos and help answering questions you’re the one that inspired us to move out to Spain and the murcia region .Hope you and your wife can meet up with Alan and I when you come to visit again. (Ps I love sewing so maybe your wife can give me a few tips of where to buy sewing related stuff)

@@chrisilogan8059 Thank you very much for those kind words - you can contact me on Messenger (Shaun Matthews) and my wife holds dress making classes on Saturday mornings. I'm hoping to come back in late July to capture the night life there :)

[@chrisilogan8059]

Hopefully it would be nice to meet up in july

[@Mallia_93]

Thank you for sharing! Is there a daily/monthly charge to use the facilities such as the Indoor swimming pool, gym etc at the Hilton?

[@jeanettedavies8665]

Wow what a lovely resort

Thank you Jeanette, it's amazing resort, one of the best in the Murcia Region. Many thanks for watching :)

[@TheHampshireFlyer]

Wow that resort is massive, looks like a beautiful place to live thanks for sharing Shaun

Thank you Mark, out of my price range! Glad you enjoyed the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@cookie48ish]

Hi we have stayed there it was so lovely but are villa was very overlooked but still very nice

Thank you Jules, glad you liked the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@RalphGoldsmith]

Quite an impressive looking place, great tour Shaun. Thanks for sharing

Thank you Ralph, glad you enjoyed the tour! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@Time2FLYAlDiaz]

Here in the states, you can only access these places, only if you lived there or were on the visitors list. Thanks for the share!! Shaun.

Thank you Al, nearly the same in the UK too, it's nice to go to a place like this and drink in the bar without worrying not being a member and also watching from a distance. Glad you enjoyed the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@Darth_Gorilla]

They like to have visitors to ad to the vibe of the place but as a security measure all vehicle number plates are recorded via the gatehouse cameras.

[@gazman7579]

so glad that the hotel was bought over and eventually re-opened, it was sitting empty for a few years. stayed in La Torre a few years ago...a huge resort. nice video as always.

Thank you Gaz, it's amazing hotel - had permission to go round and take video and photographs. Glad you liked the video! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@niveknilknarf9015]

Good tour around La Torre Golf Resort Shaun and Jackie! Amazing how vast this place is and well kept too!

Thank you Kev, glad you enjoyed the tour - massive complex and I will be returning later in the year to capture the night life! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)

[@barryhuizing2804]

Absolutely gorgeous club!

Thank you Barry, glad you enjoyed the tour! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@brucecoddington4835]

Thank you for the tour, it is a beautiful resort.

Thank you Bruce, glad you enjoyed the tour! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@ianrobinson986]

Beautiful resort, thanks for showing us around. Thank you for the information regarding community fees Jaq Grafiq, I though they would be higher than that.

Thank you Ian, glad you enjoyed the video tour and help from Jackie - many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@elmoufo]

2500 mix of houses and apartments.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

That was cool Shaun! Nice looking resort. I looked up the Double Tree hotel and the rates are quite reasonable. 👍

Thank you Marcus, glad you enjoyed the video tour - so you might be staying at the Double Tree Hotel? Jackie can be your tour guide!!!! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@rainechambers5652]

Expat in Mazarron we stayed in the hotel a few weeks ago it was lovely. La Torre resort is gorgeous, we liked it so much we bought an apartment. As the other lady said the community fees are about €130 per month depending on the size of the property and property starts at about €85000 for an apartment to up to about €400,000 for a villa with a pool. The resort sustained a lot of damage during the Gota Fria but the staff and community are working so hard to get it back to its normally beautiful condition.

@@rainechambers5652 Thank you Raine, glad you enjoyed La Torre and so much you bought one! It's a lovely resort and one of my friends lives there - they got hit really bad with the Gota Fria but everybody is helping to clean up and back to normal - you may see me at times at La Torre. Many thanks for the info on the community fees. Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@adrianalfordphotography]

That's a hell of resort mate. Thanks for show around. Cheers!

Thank you Adrian, it's a huge complex - loved the hotel! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@stuartcrawford8796]

Thanks Shaun on my list of clubs

Thank you Stuart, looks a great golf course and you got to check out the hotel outside bar area! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@shaungilmartin1505]

nice looking place but you can't help wondering what would happen if polaris ran into financial trouble again

Thank you Shaun, I think Polaris World went under - you never know out here but thankfully La Torre is one of the finished resorts, not like some others in the area. Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)

[@j.m.b5441]

Great video, it's more like a small city to me, wow! Those homes look amazing but expensive.

Thank you Jorge, glad you enjoyed the tour - you do need to have a good income to live here! Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)

[@robnorris4770]

“Typical Spanish Tapas Bar”, yes, it looks like this place caters to English speakers. Very nice looking place, Shaun.

Thank you Rob, you noticed the sign! I will be revisiting this place in the summer during the evening time - many thanks for watching :)

[@aaronlanney3509]

5 minutes from my house. Should have popped in for coffee. Is an impressive place. I pop in to spar occasionally and the shop opposite sells English papers at €2.50

Thank you Aaron, I might just do that - coming back later in the summer to capture the evening at the lake. Thanks for the info - many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@theyorkshiredroneseekers2815]

Very nice resort 👍's up from the Yorkshire drone seeker's

Thank you Steve, glad you enjoyed the tour! Many thanks for watching and have a great week Yorkshire Drone Seekers :)

[@PixiesChannel12345]

That resort looks absolutely massive, Finally one that has been finished, Still driving on the wrong side of the road lol, smashing video mate.

Thank you Chris, glad you enjoyed the tour - told you before it's you that's driving on the wrong side!!!! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@nicted9308]

Another good looking golf resort Shaun and kept in great condition. Torre is pronounced as Torray which mean Tower Shaun, a couple of friends played this course and said it was a good test of golf.

Thank you Nic, I will try to remember that - Torray! I will be revisiting this resort later in the year in the evening! Glad you enjoyed the tour. Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@robnorris4770]

Looking forward to when you properly roll your R’s, Shaun.

[@penguinpeter6912]

Hi mr s Nice video mate, again can I ask if dogs are allowed on this resort,and what caused the flooding a couple years ago please. Thanks keep the great work up

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes you can have dogs on the resort and the flooding was heavy rain which flooded the golf course and some under ground parking areas. Many thanks for watching :)

[@donotsubfortnitebattleroya5563]

I'm in la torre right now

Enjoy your stay - many thanks fro watching :)

[@patricias1213]

looks very nice a bit different from Camposol.

Thank you Patricia, glad you enjoyed the tour - Camposol is not a golf resort and true very different than La Torre. Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@SloMoShort]

Is it worth buying an apartment in La Torre?

If you love Golf, then this is one of the best in the Murcia region. Need to visit to make your mind up. Many thanks for watching :)

[@maryoreilly5192]

Absolutely beautiful peaceful place to live

[@robmiles3493]

Amazing place Shaun, so well laid out and everything you need. how far are you from the coast. Many thanks for sharing.

Thank you Rob, only 10 minutes to the sea! Glad you enjoyed the tour! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@katecampbell5387]

Looks like a lovely place and is only 14 minutes drive from the place we are buying. Question for Jackie: are they ok with non-residents coming in and using the facilities ie the shops and bars etc? Thanks.

Thank you Kate, glad you enjoyed the tour and very true not far from you - I can answer that question - all golf complexes will let you in, most will just record your number plate or some near where I live want to see your ID (passport/driving license/resident card). I will be re-visiting in the summer to capture the night life here. Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@katecampbell5387]

Ah that’s good news. Perhaps we will see you there at some point. I hope you have a great week too.

[@Darth_Gorilla]

They encourage it.

[@lukecoles5810]

I live 5 minutes from la torre golf resort on las terrazas golf

Thank you Luke, glad you liked the tour! Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@manuwebmb]

Hi mate and thanks for the vids, dreaming about living like that one day....Which resort would you choose between Mar Menor Golf Resort or this one La Torre Golf Resort, is my understanding La Torre got flooded badly but not the Mar Menor Golf Resort right? cheers

Mar Menor for me only because of the flooding and they haven't done anything to stop it. But please visit both resorts, they are both amazing. Many thanks for watching :)

[@manuwebmb]

@ Hi mate, thanks for your reply, appreciated, keep safe

[@joycewells3964]

Hi if I bought on La Torreón would I be allowed to have my Jack Russell with me ,and also what are the yearly fees approximately .thanks .

Sorry Joyce, I don't live there but dogs are okay and the community fee will depend on the property you buy. Better to ask an estate agent who sells property there but it's a lovely place.

[@MillieonaVespa]

It looks fab ...but 120 monthly or 1440 a year seems like a lot, especially if you are on a pension, I am a little surprised 😮.... would this be normal rates on all golf communities.....I may have to rethink if so...

It's a lovely place but comes with a price - that's why in just the Murcia region there are so many Golf Resorts! 120 a month is the starting price, depending on the size of property. Playing golf for a resident is about 50 euros a game plus hiring a buggy is extra. Where I live there is no community charge just the yearly 600 euros council tax which also would be added on top of your community charge at La Torre. Many thanks for watching and have a great week Mary :)

[@Darth_Gorilla]

The community charges are never fixed either. I was paying just over €200 at one point for my ground floor apartment. Last year it was just under €150 and right now it's around €124pm. If any extra work needs doing such as painting last year, it's added to your fees.

[@WinstonSmith1984]

There are so many golf resorts yet I don't know anybody my age that plays golf. Is that more of a British and/or baby-boomer hobby? If the latter, then I can only imagine the demand vs supply ratio will dropping off with time. Also, do non-golfers live on those resorts and do they normally have to pay contribution fees for upkeep of the courses that they don't use?

Thank you, I don't play golf too but there are plenty of golfers here plus the other 15 golf resorts just in Murcia region. Golfs a big business around the world, Look at President Trump, he owns a few! For the non golf players that live here there is a community charge, nothing to do with the golf courses. Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@vreeke777]

Left the drone at home ? Sorry

Thank you Adri, yes no drone today just checking out the Golf Resort. Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@lukecoles5810]

Hi Shaun I took a couple of videos myself when I was out of the area around las terrazas and la torre local towns do you want them if so let me have an email

Thank you Luke, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the offer but I hope to do more further exploring these places next year for my videos. Many thanks for watching and have a great week :)

[@lukecoles5810]

Ok I look forward to watch video

[@aquariusbathandbody]

Great video Shaun. Wow, that place looks lovely, looks expensive too. Even though there seemed to be some people about, it looked rather quiet. Keep them coming, we enjoy your vid's.

Thank you Angel, glad you enjoyed the tour of the golf resort. I will be returning in the summer for some night life. Many thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
