We choose this hotel because of the wide age range within our party, we needed to be close to the beach, with not to much of a hill with a pool and food places nearby. The location of this property is perfect as it is directly on the beach, the resort is built on a gradual slope but it was manageable for our party and has a bus stop right out side. There is a Lidl and a number of other shops across the road, and a number of small cafes and eateries nearby. The harbour is a twenty to thirty minuet walk along the broadwalk towards Marbella. There is a reasonably priced place to hire kayaks, paddleboards and peddalos about 5 to ten min walk away along the broadwalk towards Malaga. The apartments are huge, spotlessly clean, and are well stocked with everything you would need. We had apartment B8 which was directly opposite the pool which suited us with the children. The pool is manned and they are strict with the opening times and closing times of the pool. The restaurant served lovely food and drinks there was happy hour. There was some evening entertainment which was pleasant. The children's club was really lovely and there was a few things to do every day.
The only things that I can think of is the restaurant didn't open until 12, but that really wasn't a problem for us, possibly on the first day if you arrive late and cant buy food for the morning this could be an issue. However Luna bar is two minuets away, on the beach and was delicious for breakfast.

This is a well kept, tidy apart-hotel style accommodation. It’s definitely not the most glamorous room interiors but everything is clean and functional. Javier was excellent at reception. The grounds and gardens are immaculate. The location is very convenient- write off the regional arterial road, 10 minutes walk to Lidl supermarket. The beach is directly out the front of the property. There is only 1-2 nearby restaurants, others would require a longer walk/drive. Parking is free and very easy. Also the pool is the deepest hotel pool I’ve ever swum in- 2.3m!!
The shower sprayed water/leaked around the bathroom floor. Otherwise everything was excellent

The people on the front desk were so friendly. We felt really welcome and well cared for. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. Being able to use the facilities in the Dona Lola resort was a huge unexpected bonus. We wished we could have stayed longer. We booked this hotel because of the boardwalk and that exceeded expectations as well. It is such a beautiful place to walk with so many options of where to go on your walk along the boardwalk.
We felt the restaurant could have done more to promote itself. It would have been nice to eat in the resort but it always looked kind of empty.

- great beachside location (Playa de Luna) and short walk to Playa Cambino/marina, with great views of sunset. - heated outdoor pool, jacuzzi, especially for colder months - well kept tropical garden - spacious, clean apartment - main bus stop outside hotel, so easy to get into city centre
- Apartment could do with a little updating of decor/modernisation - Full sea view is only for a few apartments at bottom end of resort, we paid extra but only had partial sea view from terrace - multi gym : most exercises not possible, needs replacing. - Checkout is too early (10am) - there is a charge of 40 Euro for late checkout

We had a sea view from our room and it was so relaxing. The units are older but very functional with everything you need for a short stay. The staff, especially Ruben, were so helpful including after we left when we thought we had left something in the room. He called housekeeping to see if we could find what we thought we had left. The location is great to visit all areas around, but you will definitely need a car. However, there is a nice restaurant on the ocean that is walking distance as well as a very nice boardwalk right outside the back of the property leading directly to the beach. The only negative is it is directly off the highway which is tricky to get on when leaving. Overall an excellent experience and we would highly recommend this place.

A wonderful apart hotel right on the seashore with very friendly and helpful staff. The apartment is very large and comfortable, in good condition and has everything you need for a long, comfortable stay, from a dishwasher to paper towels, so you don't have to run to the shops to get settled. The hotel has a very cosy and well-kept area, heated pool&jacuzzi. Several supermarkets are within a 5-minute walk, and public transport stops are right next to the hotel. There is a multi-kilometre promenade for walks along the sea with cafes and beach clubs. Reception helped me with excursions at a good price/quality.

The location was wonderful overlooking a wonderful clean beach. It was a lovely 15 minute walk to Cabopino Marina and a 5.6km walk the other way into La Cala which was perfect to watch the sun rise. The grounds are immaculate and there was plenty of room in our 3 bed apartment overlooking the pool & sea. Having a heated pool was brilliant as it meant we could spend lots of time in there and enjoy it. The staff were all incredibly friendly and accommodating and we enjoyed a delicious meal there and a few drinks at happy hour!

fantastic location 30 seconds from beach
there seems to be a restaurant and bar which closes at 9pm a bit early when your on holiday last time I visited there was entertainment maybe missing a trick here seems to be a cockroach issue which after 2 visits to the apartment still coming in there is a wall at the bottom of the apartments next to where your bring rubbish and left over food noticed one night as the cockroach’s emptied out of ( approx 50 to 60 easily )

The whole atmosphere was great. Lovely pool area. Nice with restaurant near pool. Very nice view. Comfortable and well equipped apartment. Easy to park. Easy drive to the airport.
No breakfast available to buy at the resort. Many flies/bugs in the bathroom. No explanation of how to dispose non-organic garbage. Far to walk to the store. A bit complicated to drive to/from the resort - missed the entrance first and had to make a very long detour. Getting out to the main road seemed unsafe when there was much traffic.

The location is great right on the beach. There’s some restaurants within easy walking distance too. The property is quiet but with plenty to do. Great to have the restaurant and bar (especially for happy hour 🤪).
Being right on the beach you come in covered in sand. The showers and feet washing facilities were turned off so inevitably you end up bringing sand into the apartments that only get cleaned if you are there for more than a week. There was also confusing info in the welcome book. It said you have to pay for electricity so we really limited the use of air conditioning. It turns out you don’t pay and that is only for people who own their own apartments so we could have had a more comfortable holiday! Although good for the planet! The tennis court is actually a pickle ball court. Which was a really fun game, but should be advertised as pickleball not tennis as it is much smaller.
