Excellent vacation spot if you are traveling with small children. We enjoyed the kids pool, access to the beach and availability of the high chair for our toddler. If your kid is over the age of 5 - there are lots of activities for them organized by the property which looked fun. A few restaurants and a small grocery store were very handy! We will definitely consider this place if traveling to Malaga again!

Doña Lola resort - another good McDonald resort
It was a good experience- this one was our second stay at a McDonald resort in Mijas. On arrival the person who did our checking was wonderful and very helpful (Antonio). Property was in good condition although our apartment building did not have an elevator(though we did not need it). Service staff was very helpful- we had an issue with the electricity and it was fixed immediately by replacing the electrical breaker. Same 4 replacement towels/toilet paper/kitchen paper/dishwasher salt/rinse aid. Facilities were very good: pool, restaurants, etc. Scheduled Events were also good: ABBA, wine tasting, sports events etc. Pool restaurant food and service was excellent. My only complaint and not trying to be picky is that the bed mattresses were hard same 4 the pillows. The other thing is that when I went to return my keys the gentleman at the reception offer me help with a cab ( we were driving), but he did not ask about how was my stay or something similar

We were robbed, room was unsafe, window lock was broken, thieves broke into room in the middle of the night, terrible, money purses wallets handbags stolen from 1st floor apartment. Really upset us, ruined the holiday. Didn’t the hotel have some sort of duty of care that our room should have been safe, we could have been attacked/killed?? Management were horrendous, told us it had never happened before. Hotel initially told us they had no proof,there are footprints on external walls as they climbed in, handprints on external window frames, camera in hotel grounds, hotel then sent maintenance next morning when we were out, told us the window was not faulty, 4 people checked the windows on the morning after the robbery, it would not lock. Today I was told 1st floor apartments are having burglar railings installed on 1st floor rooms. Hotel told me to claim my losses through my travel insurance.WHY?? This was the hotels duty of care to have us in a secure room with working locks on the windows. I have to question in a resort of this size that a robber knew to climb to my first floor terrace to my window thst didn’t lock to rob us when there we’re probably 100 first floor rooms to climb to?? Seems like a inside job that someone knew our window didn’t lock??

Great apparthotel in perfect location
Stayed in a one bedroom apartment and it was very comfortable. Sofa in the living area could have been better, but it was a sofabed so not so good in sofa mode. We booked as a hotel and so assumed that normal hotel conditions apply and so daily cleaning and refresh of toiletries would happen, but none of this was included. The rest of the resort was very nice with decent facilities loads of places to eat inside or just outside the premises. The pools were good and direct beach access was great too.

Stunning gardens
The gardens around the complex are stunning and very well maintained. All the paths and public areas are very tidy and litter free. The complex borders the beach, the boardwalk and the sea and there are two very good outdoor swimming pools, one very large and one heated and one indoor pool. There are some excellent restaurants within two minutes walk.

Probably alright 20 years ago
There are not many hotels that we have upped and left from! The apartments are tired, the beds are very uncomfortable, the facilities are dated…. There was work going on all over the place and a lot of noise during the stay, oh and a cockroach infestation too…

A much needed resting place!
The complex is very good in many ways, but is in need of modernisation in the block we stayed in , Cristina. The choice of eating places is good. The best place was the Plaza Beach. The staff were all very friendly, the food was excellent and the entertainment was very good.
