Beautiful resort, the gardens and the pool are stunning. Property spacious and large balcony with sea views. Would benefit from a little updating. But well equipped for what was needed. Would stay again.

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.
Really nice quiet place to stay on a beautiful coastline. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I look forward to staying again in the future for longer this time!
Good communication with reception staff very helpful,grounds well kept,very clean apartment even though it was a bit dated,every thing you needed on hand,right on the beach limited number of restaurants for eating

Lovely small resort, accommodation is a bit tired and dated but nevertheless comfortable. The resort restaurant is excellent and pool is very good with plenty of sun beds. Lovely beach bar nearby. We will be back.

Excellent resort.
Highly recommended resort on Costa Del Sol, for good reason. Large studio with very comfortable bed. Separate AC in bedroom for extra comfort. Excellent reception staff and beautifully maintained gardens.
Lovely location by the sea. Boardwalk behind the property was excellent for walks to restaurants. Groceries right across the street. Excellent value for money. I will stay here again.
Stayed here for 3 nights with friends. We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms, kitchen and bathrooms were clean.
Reception closes early in the evening so we were able to check in via the evening caretaker. All in all a pleasant stay. I would highly recommend!
