How to solve the Difference between Google Maps and Geocoding?

Question

OK here is an odd situation. This I have been facing from long time on so many Maps I have created.

Here is one sample address :

Hotel Tamisa Golf, Cam         


        

Answer 1

That "address" is a "place" not a "postal address".

The geocoder finds the coordinates associated with a postal address, looks like it thinks the address is "Urbanización Mijas Golf, 13S, 29651 Mijas, Málaga, Spain": geocode

The places API finds "places": place

Answer 2

For the address you mentioned, the geocode is returning more than one results, you need to handle all the results. see your answer here.

EDIT: The Google Place search API can help you here, for more detail see this. Sample example is here at jsFiffle.
