Exceptional place to stay for a relaxing beach stay. Very comfortable and well appointed apartment. Nice views of beach. Easy to drive to and parking. Friendly reception. Room was ready for early check in. It was very nice that they offered use of the resort facilities after checkout as that was 10 am. The pool is heated and one of the nicest we have seen in our travels. Plenty of restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. We stayed 2 nights but I wish we had more time to stay longer. Maybe next time.

Nice vacation

Great location on the beach front. Lots of choices of cafe, bars, restaurants. Safe area. Not crowded. Service was great. Nice people at the reception. But, the the resort is relatively outdated. Room was clean but the furniture was little old. In summary, we had great time.

Best location and fabulous service.

Cleanest Hotel I’ve Stayed In

The property was exceptionally clean. A little dated but clearly high end furnishings. Large and comfortable. The air con worked well. The balcony was huge. Friendly service apart from the bar/restaurant but this is run by a third party. Shame because the rest of the hotel was excellent.

Second Stay

Have stayed here before, so that should speak volumes! Have previously stayed in B apartments, this time we stayed in C. These apartments are smaller and don't have such a good outlook, also the terrace is a lot smaller. I assume they are older. Plenty of parking and convenient for the airport.

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.

Family Time

8 nights stay. Stayed in a 1 bed apartment (B3). View was ok but definitely better views from there apartments. Good size for a 1 bed. Son on double sofa bed in living area. Good sized balcony although outdoor furniture wasn't great as it got extremely hot in the sun, especially the dining table. Not much room around pool area and you have to like the buzz of children in and around the pool. Beautiful garden area and bar area is well maintained. 2 pool tables and mini golf area. Overall a lovely place even if apartment was a little dated.

8/10 Very good

Very close to nice public beach, beautiful sea view from porch, parking in front of porch, warm outside swimming pool in calm area (protected from winds), necessary kitchen, bathroom and cleaning amenities provided and very easy and friendly check-in. Our double bed had a light in the middle and there was only one small old TV that wasn't smart (no Netflix, Amazon etc.). WiFi is optical, but still slow - limited to 10-15 Mbps.
