Something was stolen
27 Sept 2026
We had a very bad experience because somebody stole my expensive running shoes from our apartment. We reported to the hotel and the receptionist just smiled to me when we told what happened.They did nothing. The other thing that the check out time is 10 a.m. but breakfast possibility open at 11 a.m. Ridiculous. Social Media Manager, Owner at Macdonald Leila Playa Resort, responded to this review Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear about this situation, and we can confirm that it was reported and reviewed by our team at the time.Regarding your comment on check-out and breakfast times, we appreciate you raising it as part of your experience.We regret that your stay did not meet your expectations.Kind regards,

Cockroaches ??
22 May 2026
I have never seen infestation to this level before. Throughout the whole complex they can be found inside the apartment, restaurant and inside the walls. When you see the odd one okay. But when they are in the bedroom, toilet that’s when you get concerned. It’s not just a couple number have to be in the thousands. Aitana Urquia, Owner at Macdonald Leila Playa Resort, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay at Macdonald Leila Playa Resort.We were concerned to read your comments, particularly as they do not reflect the usual experience of our guests.

Located very close to sandy beach
06 May 2026
Ideal location very close to beach with sun-beds and beach bars with many restaurants. Board Walk 6km in length was available to run or walk with wonderful views. Hotel has two V Shape buildings with varied levels of sea views. Three floors. Not crammed so quite private. You do look into people’s rooms when walking around outside. Pool can get busy, plenty of sun-beds. Bedrooms/apartments are dated in decor and fittings. Reception and bar staff friendly. Be ready for a sharp turn off the dual carriageway when you arrive, we whizzed past twice when we first arrived. Aitana Urquia, Owner at Macdonald Leila Playa Resort, responded to this review Thank you for sharing your feedback following your stay at Macdonald Leila Playa Resort!We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our excellent beachfront location, the seaside promenade, and the wonderful views of the area. We also appreciate your kind comments about our reception and bar team, who always strive to provide friendly and attentive service.We also value your observations regarding certain aspects of the resort and apartments. Your feedback is very important to us and helps us continue improving the experience we offer to our guests.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.Kind regards,

Great if you have no mobility issues.
26 Apr 2026
Lovely setting right on the beachfront.Large well equipped apartment although a little dated.Comfortable beds. Shower over bath.Well equipped kitchen with oven , hob , washing machine , dishwasher and microwave. Lovely heated pool area , bar and gym and sauna.Not great if you have mobility issues as there are no ramps and lots of steps.Quiet area . Walk along the boardwalk to a few bars /restaurants around the marina.. This takes about 15 mins but beware its pitch black at night walking back.Bus stop outside apartheid for Marbella etc. Aitana Urquia, Owner at Macdonald Leila Playa Resort, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your stay at Macdonald Leila Playa Resort.We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our beachfront location, the peaceful surroundings, and the facilities available, including the heated pool, gym, and sauna.
