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.

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.

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.
