    Lovely stay on a lovey resort

    rating04 Jun 2026

    Lovely quiet resort in a good location with a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Check in was quick and easy, staff helpful. Our apartment was lovely - spacious, modern, clean and a great price. The pool area was great although sometimes had to wait for a sunbed from people leaving towels to book seats. The pool uncrowded. The grounds were very well kept and pretty. Restaurants good with plenty of choice and the mini mart on site did the best fresh croissants. Lovely to be next to the beach and good location for easy access to other places nearby - Aquamijas waterpark was great and the Bioparc in Fuengirola. We had a hire car so easy to get around. Would stay here again

    Wouldn't go again

    rating30 Apr 2026

    Location was hit and miss, the main entrance to Dona lola was next to a dual carriageway, you had to walk over a bridge to get to the otherside. Yet the otherside was next to the beach. Checked in and was told where our apartment was.. Nearest to the road , 48 steps up no lift. Definately not a resort for people with mobility issues or the elderly. The adult pool (which is no longer adult) was a warm pool, supposed to be a quiet area, no inflatables ( signs up) But each afternoon lots of children screaming and jumping in with inflatables. The larger pool down the hill was freezing but lovely to chill out, not many kids there. Apartment was very clean and very well equipped. Included englisg tv channels & free wifi.Could do with a little updating though. The area in general looked a little tired. Lots of walking or uber to get places as not alot around. Mini markets onsite and a few nice restaurants. Wouldn't visit again.If you walk the boardwalk turn right from the gate out to the beach. Keep going until you reach pirates beach bar. Great place. Then carry on to ocean beach. After that the marina then Andys beach bar.Marbella old town is a must, and Mijas Pueblo is stunning Aitana Urquia, Guest Services / Front Office at Macdonald Dona Lola Resort, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your stay at Macdonald Doña Lola Resort.While we are sorry to read that your overall experience did not meet your expectations, we do appreciate your kind comments regarding the cleanliness and equipment of the apartment, as well as the facilities available on site.We also value your observations about accessibility and the layout of the resort.

    Lovely place just a couple of little niggles.

    rating03 Apr 2026

    Check in was an easy, quick friendly experience. Was given a key card each for the room (4 of us). We were on the top floor so quite a few stairs to climb. The room was large, separate living/dining room, two large separate bedrooms with wardrobes and comfy beds. 2 bathrooms. Free safe. Downside, no cleaning for a full week and there is a bit of an ant problem. We'll equipped kitchen, plates, glasses cups, washing liquid, sponges, dishwasher, dishwasher tablets. Has a free gym on site and 2 pools, one big one which is freezing and a smaller heated one. Overall a really good holiday.

    This is a first class resort in a great location. Beautiful well kept gardens great restaurant and entertainment and a boardwalk just outside resort on sea front for leisurely strolls with other restaurants close by and a bus stop.
