The reception staff were friendly and accommodating as always. Staff across the resort are very friendly. Spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment. Lovely heated pool with plenty of sun beds. Have been coming to this resort for 37 years and it never disappoints. Will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff.

Very close to nice public beach, beautiful sea view from porch, parking in front of porch, warm outside swimming pool in calm area (protected from winds), necessary kitchen, bathroom and cleaning amenities provided and very easy and friendly check-in. Our double bed had a light in the middle and there was only one small old TV that wasn't smart (no Netflix, Amazon etc.). WiFi is optical, but still slow - limited to 10-15 Mbps.

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.

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.
