Location was fantastic, fabulous choice of restaurants and bars on site and nearby, plus you can walk on the boardwalk directly outside in either direction to all the amazing beaches. La cala is 50 mins in one direction, and cabo pino is 50 minutes in the other. Couldn't fault the location, it was perfect and so scenic. The pool bar la plaza is great, opens at 11am, and serves fantastic food, which you can eat by the pool if you want to and at reasonable prices. Happy hour is 5-6pm which is great. Staff are all friendly too. And the facilities are all clean and tidy.

Rooms were only cleaned once during our 10-night stay. Also found it quite noisy, we stayed in the roccio building and were woken by gardener's, bins been emptied early in the morning and heard a lot of noise from apartment above, not very well soundproofed. They cram far too many sunbeds around the pool, so you are on top of the people next to you and if you aren't queuing by 9.15am you won't get a sunbed, they allow people to just drop towels and run, we were a group of 8 and most days only managed to get a few sunbeds between us but noticed day in day out that most sunbeds were unoccupied most of the day which was frustrating. That needs to be addressed.

Great location between Marbella & Fuingerola, the grounds, public areas, staff, and communal facilities are excellent, it also offers direct access to the boardwalk & beach, which is brilliant. The accommodation was clean, and the apartment offered everything you’d need for a nice holiday.

The apartments are tired, they need updating and the mattresses should be upgraded. i expected better of the Macdonald Hotel group.

Professional efficient and friendly reception staff. The apartment was spacious with a well equipped kitchen and very good air conditioning. There was a smaller 'quiet' pool separate to the larger family pool which we loved. The local restaurants were very accessible and the food was good. We stayed for 10 days and had a clean/towel & bedlinen change half way through. Would definitely stay here again

We paid extra for a sea view apartment but because of the height of the solid balcony wall, we could not see the sea if we were sitting. We could only see the from the living room or standing out on the balcony. This was disappointing ... maybe so high for child safety and if this is the case 'restricted sea view' might be a more honest description

Friendly, helpful staff. Extremely clean resort and room. Room size was great. Loved the location and broadwalk. Within easy reach of many restaurants, bars and supermarkets.

Couldnt really see the sea view when sat on the balcony - the concrete seemed to be at eye level

The 3 bedroom apartment very spacious for 6 of us - having 2 bathrooms was great - very well equipped and air con. Used both outdoor pools which were very relaxing but tend to be cold in the morning but as day went on got warm. The area was very clean and love the recycle initiatives. The pool bar and restaurant lovely - good range of food and drink and of course, Happy Hour - which goes very quick. Bus service to Malaga and Marbella - restaurants and bars on site together with mini supermarket.Very secure and will be looking at going back at some stage.

Our apartment was never cleaned even though we were there for 9 nights/10 days. When i queried it with reception on the day before we were leaving they told me i should have requested it at reception?????????? we were not informed. Our pool towels and apartment towels were changed once during this time though.

We have been to Dona Lola many times and it was just as good as ever. The apartment was spacious with a nice balcony and a sea view. The furnishings, although a little dated now (ginger wood and brown sofas) are good quality in good condition and comfortable. The quiet heated pool near reception is lovely with plenty of sun beds. The staff are friendly and helpful and the gardens beautifully kept. Francisco (Curro) excellent with the entertainments, particularly the Spanish lessons. It was easy to park the hire car near the apartment and many good restaurants are within walking distance. The whole area, although quite built up and busy is well kept and litter free.

Nothing. Cushions for the sun beds would make it even better (there used to be some!).

Pool area, pool bar and food very good at a reasonable price.

That our room didnt receive any cleaning during 4 night stay. Only one bar of soap and small shower gel for 4 days. Towels not changed p

Cleanliness, Location

Nothing

we got the keyes earlier than expected and quickly when we came to the counter. The location of the property is perfectly located next to the beach and it also has a gym and both inside and outside pools

The cleanlines of the appartments and stairways and pool area was not always up to par. Also / our appartment had a roach problem, which was easily explained. There were big openings in the kitchen cabinets to the back that really should be fixed. This is where the insects came in.

There was someone waiting for us at reception when we arrived.The pool was ideal, big and deep enough to have a good swim. Plenty of loungers and towels and a great poolside bar.Loads of bars and restaurants near by. Beds very comfortable.

We arrived around 22.30 and although the night porter was very helpful, I don’t think22.30 is very late, We were a bit disoriented and it was quite dark when we arrived, the porter directed us to our apartment but was a bit confusing if you have been travelling and tired. Could have done with a bit more assistance.
