Macdonald Dona Lola Resort

"Perfect hotel good location with many great restaurants juat outside. Hotel clean, tidy and pool was perfectly adequate with plenty of sunbeds. Location is good with a small beach on the rear but if your prepared to walk a little along the coastal path the beach is better still"

"A large resort with a location directly onto the beach. Well-maintained area, but a somewhat old style that needs modernizing. It is not soundproof, so it is quite disruptive now that we live on the ground floor. Large pool area for both small children and adults. A little like "Mallorcan" where people go down and throw their towels and don't come back for 3-4 hours. There is a lot of noise and crowding in the pool because many have big pets. Compare with. There are umbrellas and you are very close to the sun area. There are 2 lifeguards keeping an eye on the holiday guests. There are showers available. Good toilet facilities. You can lie in the shade all day if you have, for example, infants with you. The restaurant by the pool area serves well-cooked food. Friendly and kind staff. At the resort itself there is fitness, Turkish bath and jacuzzi. It is a minimarket, various restaurants, pubs/bars. You don't need to drive out of the resort once you have arrived. Very difficult to find a parking space."

"We had a really enjoyable 2 weeks. Apartment was spacious, 2 bed, 2 bath which was great and better than expected. Yes a little dated but had everything we needed, a balcony plus a small garden and we could see the sea (Margarita 101) air con was really efficient. Quiet pool was lovely and we couldn’t believe you could get a sunbed pretty much any time of day mid August, a huge plus! Location on the beach couldn’t be better and a huge shout out to the guy running beach volleyball, he is a credit to the hotel team, my daughter Chloe loved it and was made to feel very welcome. A huge highlight of the holiday. We also used the gym and spa most days, a real bonus that this is all included. If you have any mobility issues this hotel won’t be for you as lots of steps and slopes but for us this wasn’t a problem. Lots of restaurants literally at the front of the hotel, Enriques and La Estancia were our favourites. Nice staff and reasonably priced excellent food but they are all pretty good along there from our experience and so convenient! Happy hour every day which was nice. We also used the bus to fuengirola and Marbella, they run very 30 mins and a lot cheaper than a taxi or uber! Would definitely return to this hotel."
