12 the World Of golfing courses - Lindner Golf Resort Extra Services On Offer As Refurbished Resort Opens For ‘Nous’ Season Courses New golf and cycling services have been introduced at the popular Lindner Golf Resort Portals Nous, in Mallorca, as it reopened for the new season following a major €6.5m renovation. More than 100 artisans have spent the last three months rebuilding and rejuvenating the popular four-star hotel from lobby to attic. Ten new rooms have been added, while the remaining 100 have been refurbished completely and are now decorated in light wood and earth tones. The hotel has also launched a free golfers’ shuttle to the clubhouse at the adjacent Royal Bendinat golf course, while the new Lindner Golf Service Centre provides preferential green fees for other island courses. In addition, the resort will be opening a cycle garage from where guests can hire a bike, or store and maintain their own, at the courtesy workbench. On an island renowned for its sunshine, it is fitting that the hotel’s spacious new lobby has been designed to let in more of it. The resort’s general manager, Carolina Cordes, explained: “The large communal area opens up into our new bar and restaurant, ‘Niko’s Place’, named after our long-serving and popular bartender Nikolay Draganov. The bar is the ideal place for guests to sit, chat, work together or to plan their golf outings.”
