6/10 Good

Accommodation was a bit tired, toilet didn’t flush, found previous guests possessions in one of rooms and pool was closed. Able to use a different pool locally but it was a drive away and had to take towels with us leaving deposit at resort and bring them back again which was a bit of a pain, particularly when we wanted to swim on morning of checkout.

4/10 Fair

Apartment allocated on arrival in disrepair. Trying to get this sorted out was extremely stressful and we spent 2 hrs trying talking to both MacDonald Resort staff and Hotels.com neither were taking ownership of sorting it out. Hotels.com solution was refund ! So we had travelled to Aviemore what did the expect us to do next !! Resort staff wanted us offered the only one apartment they said available if a lower standard than booked. There answer was to contact the third oarty we booked through - not very helpful ! Also advised on arrival that leisure facilities at site were closed.

2/10 Poor

Units were upsold and in a tired, sorry state. No satellite TV as advertised, poor lighting around the area. Spa didn't work, place was half empty and no Live entertainment as advertised. Resturant was dispicable with the chef rushing out mains while starters were still being eaten. My family members got food poisoning. Left the next day (was intended to be a 3 day stay). Contacted the Manager who was neither interested nor apologetic and told us to contact Expedia if we wanted a refund!!

Excellent resort to stay with kids and dog. The accommodation is a great size, beds are comfy and the resort is clean. The resort itself is dated but the location and the size of the apartments make it worrhwhile. Kids loved the badminton and tennis. Pool is great for kids too We will definitely be back again
