Great Stay
Excellent stay - have stayed before at McDonald Villacana resort, but needed to be a little closer to Calahonda this time. The apartment we had was on the first floor with a sea view from the balcony. The apartment was larger than expected and had a large balcony too (big enough for a table with 4 chairs and 2 sun loungers without being cramped). An added bonus was the washing machine in the apartment. Food in the restaurant was great - wouldn't hesitate to use again or to recommend.

Best location and fabulous service.
Perfect location and exceptionally clean and maintained. The only concern I have it the windy steps to the upper level floors with luggage and when wet. Kitchen equipment looked brand new.
