Overall a decrnt property, good sized rooms, all you need for a self catering holiday. The property is just a little dated. Surprisingly a deep pool almost 2.5m a nice change. If you want to eat out almost every kind of restaurant out front, but does cost, no cheap and cheerful types. The onsite shop not to overpriced. Staff all good. We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids 17 & 15. We did have some issues with the booking itself as we got a call from macdonal resorts asking if we could move rooms part way through the holiday, i said no and they made the rooms work, but i was very disappointed in this, as the woman on the phone did not appear to care or understand why it could be a issue.

Apartments a bit dated but huge pool and great dining options.

Excellent vacation spot if you are traveling with small children. We enjoyed the kids pool, access to the beach and availability of the high chair for our toddler. If your kid is over the age of 5 - there are lots of activities for them organized by the property which looked fun. A few restaurants and a small grocery store were very handy! We will definitely consider this place if traveling to Malaga again!

It was a good experience- this one was our second stay at a McDonald resort in Mijas. On arrival the person who did our checking was wonderful and very helpful (Antonio). Property was in good condition although our apartment building did not have an elevator(though we did not need it). Service staff was very helpful- we had an issue with the electricity and it was fixed immediately by replacing the electrical breaker. Same 4 replacement towels/toilet paper/kitchen paper/dishwasher salt/rinse aid. Facilities were very good: pool, restaurants, etc. Scheduled Events were also good: ABBA, wine tasting, sports events etc. Pool restaurant food and service was excellent. My only complaint and not trying to be picky is that the bed mattresses were hard same 4 the pillows. The other thing is that when I went to return my keys the gentleman at the reception offer me help with a cab ( we were driving), but he did not ask about how was my stay or something similar

Great place to spend time A thanks for the great service

We were robbed, room was unsafe, window lock was broken, thieves broke into room in the middle of the night, terrible, money purses wallets handbags stolen from 1st floor apartment. Really upset us, ruined the holiday. Didn’t the hotel have some sort of duty of care that our room should have been safe, we could have been attacked/killed?? Management were horrendous, told us it had never happened before. Hotel initially told us they had no proof,there are footprints on external walls as they climbed in, handprints on external window frames, camera in hotel grounds, hotel then sent maintenance next morning when we were out, told us the window was not faulty, 4 people checked the windows on the morning after the robbery, it would not lock. Today I was told 1st floor apartments are having burglar railings installed on 1st floor rooms. Hotel told me to claim my losses through my travel insurance.WHY?? This was the hotels duty of care to have us in a secure room with working locks on the windows. I have to question in a resort of this size that a robber knew to climb to my first floor terrace to my window thst didn’t lock to rob us when there we’re probably 100 first floor rooms to climb to?? Seems like a inside job that someone knew our window didn’t lock??

We been here 6 years ago we back now and all furniture still same getting old bed mattress are really hurting body and sofa bed no need talk all noisy on each move the beach was under construction we thought it will be now clean but it’s more dirty and more stone Poor animation team no fun for kids only pool

Access to the boardwork and ocean property is beuatiful.snd close proximity and walkability to many dining options

Stayed in a one bedroom apartment and it was very comfortable. Sofa in the living area could have been better, but it was a sofabed so not so good in sofa mode. We booked as a hotel and so assumed that normal hotel conditions apply and so daily cleaning and refresh of toiletries would happen, but none of this was included. The rest of the resort was very nice with decent facilities loads of places to eat inside or just outside the premises. The pools were good and direct beach access was great too.

We had a really nice stay at this place (3 Adults, 3 children). Directly at the beach, also a lot of nice restaurants near by (easy to access them by foot…). Staff was really friendly, everything was clean and well managed. The environment is also kept in good shape and with a focus on small details. Would go their again.

Excellent staff

The gardens around the complex are stunning and very well maintained. All the paths and public areas are very tidy and litter free. The complex borders the beach, the boardwalk and the sea and there are two very good outdoor swimming pools, one very large and one heated and one indoor pool. There are some excellent restaurants within two minutes walk.

There are not many hotels that we have upped and left from! The apartments are tired, the beds are very uncomfortable, the facilities are dated…. There was work going on all over the place and a lot of noise during the stay, oh and a cockroach infestation too…

The resort is great, but the apartment was small even for 2 people.

The complex is very good in many ways, but is in need of modernisation in the block we stayed in , Cristina. The choice of eating places is good. The best place was the Plaza Beach. The staff were all very friendly, the food was excellent and the entertainment was very good.

The leisure centre was well equipped and easy to access. La Plaza Lounge was staffed by a lovely girl called Carolina who worked extremely hard and was welcoming to all visitors. The food served was always first class, No matter how busy it was. Corrus provided excellent entertainment and was welcoming to all nationalities. Spanish lessons, Wine tasting and Paella demonstration with the help of Chris from La Plaza Beach. I'm only sorry I missed the garden tour because the gardens were exquisite. It was good to have an adult only pool. I had three treatments with the masseur Francisco but was expecting more services according to the brochure. " with qualified beauticians". La Plaza Beach was also staffed with excellent staff who were welcoming me by name and knowing my drink requirements by about my third visit. The Entertainment on Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays was really worth booking a table for. There was a minor problem with teeny tiny little antlike insects in the kitchen which appeared to come up through the sink. I kept the plug in which helped to control them. There was a note in the information book that said electricity would be charged at the end of my stay so i was being very sparing with the electric but it transpired that this only applied to Timeshare properties and not those booked through Expedia. If i had a worry about anything the staff in reception always sorted it out without any delay. Diego was the person I had most contact with.

Outdated rooms

Great location, very clean. The appartement was perfect for a family of six. Pool is awesome and the kids really enjoyed it. Beach is right there which makes it very convenient. Overall great resort for a great family vacation on la Costa Del Sol !

Parking is a big issue. For childeren older then 14 years less facilities.

We had a lovely time at Dona Lola. Nice and clean and well looked after resort.

Friendly staff. Nice pools and restaurants. Spacious apartments, although dated decor. Clean and well kept grounds. We stayed 9 nights. Could have done with a cleaning service after a week. Not recommended if you have an aversion to obnoxious Northerners from the UK.

10/10 highly recommend, staff polite and always happy to help. Great pool, accommodation and views of the coast.

Great stay at Dona Lola, apartments are clean and spacious, would recommend whatever type of holiday you want.

Great resort in a good location

I like staff at the Reception. They were helpful. Parking was easy. Accommodation was good.

Very clean apartments with great restaurants in the area, staff were great and very helpful! Will return

Big need of an upgrade inside the apt. Way too old to rent out

Beautiful Serene Location. Cleanliness is very thorough and immaculate rooms. Fantastic service from Antonio and Adrian on Reception. The hotel is outstanding and we really enjoyed our 7 night stay here. A special Thank you to Daniel at the gym/ pool attendant for your support during our stay. Thank you for employing such caring and helpful staff.

The apt looked very clean but the floors were very dirty-needs a mop. Otherwise we liked it a lot and would stay again.

A bit tired but great location , very clean.

Right on the beach

Great place to stay, Local to Beach and restaurants, Great Location, Ramps everywhere, so slopes if you can not do the stairs. Beautiful gardens and a lovely safe place to stay.
