Good value for money
Stayed here 3 times before so knew what to expect. Lovely complex with parking, security gate, clean & comfortable accommodation. Great cafe/restaurant on the site and numerous restaurants and a supermarket just round the corner. We had paid for terrace with sea view but the view of the sea could only be seen if you stood up on the terrace! Shame as we couldn't sit with our drinks and look out. The only view was a wall. I'll double check when we return.

Overall a decrnt property, good sized rooms, all you need for a self catering holiday. The property is just a little dated. Surprisingly a deep pool almost 2.5m a nice change. If you want to eat out almost every kind of restaurant out front, but does cost, no cheap and cheerful types. The onsite shop not to overpriced. Staff all good. We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids 17 & 15. We did have some issues with the booking itself as we got a call from macdonal resorts asking if we could move rooms part way through the holiday, i said no and they made the rooms work, but i was very disappointed in this, as the woman on the phone did not appear to care or understand why it could be a issue.

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.
