We choose this hotel because of the wide age range within our party, we needed to be close to the beach, with not to much of a hill with a pool and food places nearby. The location of this property is perfect as it is directly on the beach, the resort is built on a gradual slope but it was manageable for our party and has a bus stop right out side. There is a Lidl and a number of other shops across the road, and a number of small cafes and eateries nearby. The harbour is a twenty to thirty minuet walk along the broadwalk towards Marbella. There is a reasonably priced place to hire kayaks, paddleboards and peddalos about 5 to ten min walk away along the broadwalk towards Malaga. The apartments are huge, spotlessly clean, and are well stocked with everything you would need. We had apartment B8 which was directly opposite the pool which suited us with the children. The pool is manned and they are strict with the opening times and closing times of the pool. The restaurant served lovely food and drinks there was happy hour. There was some evening entertainment which was pleasant. The children's club was really lovely and there was a few things to do every day.

The only things that I can think of is the restaurant didn't open until 12, but that really wasn't a problem for us, possibly on the first day if you arrive late and cant buy food for the morning this could be an issue. However Luna bar is two minuets away, on the beach and was delicious for breakfast.

The apartment was really clean with great facilities with a nice balcony with sunbeds, table and chairs. The air con worked wonderfully and was greatly needed. The setting is good just next to the beach. The restaurant on site serves fantastic fresh food and the staff are just lovely.

For the money we paid the only thing that let the accommodation down was not been able to get a sunbed around the pool when we needed one. There were yellow towels everywhere with nobody sat on them from early in the morning. This problem could easily be resolved with big signs saying SUNBEDS CAN NOT BE RESERVED, YOUR TOWELS WILL BE REMOVED IF NECESSARY. The life guard or another member of staff could walk around every half hour or so to do this as I appreciate some people ignore requests. It does say that you can't reserve sunbeds in the welcome book but obviously people ignore this, it is a shame because of this I will not be staying here again.

The people on the front desk were so friendly. We felt really welcome and well cared for. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. Being able to use the facilities in the Dona Lola resort was a huge unexpected bonus. We wished we could have stayed longer. We booked this hotel because of the boardwalk and that exceeded expectations as well. It is such a beautiful place to walk with so many options of where to go on your walk along the boardwalk.

We felt the restaurant could have done more to promote itself. It would have been nice to eat in the resort but it always looked kind of empty.

- great beachside location (Playa de Luna) and short walk to Playa Cambino/marina, with great views of sunset. - heated outdoor pool, jacuzzi, especially for colder months - well kept tropical garden - spacious, clean apartment - main bus stop outside hotel, so easy to get into city centre

- Apartment could do with a little updating of decor/modernisation - Full sea view is only for a few apartments at bottom end of resort, we paid extra but only had partial sea view from terrace - multi gym : most exercises not possible, needs replacing. - Checkout is too early (10am) - there is a charge of 40 Euro for late checkout

A wonderful apart hotel right on the seashore with very friendly and helpful staff. The apartment is very large and comfortable, in good condition and has everything you need for a long, comfortable stay, from a dishwasher to paper towels, so you don't have to run to the shops to get settled. The hotel has a very cosy and well-kept area, heated pool&jacuzzi. Several supermarkets are within a 5-minute walk, and public transport stops are right next to the hotel. There is a multi-kilometre promenade for walks along the sea with cafes and beach clubs. Reception helped me with excursions at a good price/quality.

The location is great right on the beach. There’s some restaurants within easy walking distance too. The property is quiet but with plenty to do. Great to have the restaurant and bar (especially for happy hour 🤪).

Being right on the beach you come in covered in sand. The showers and feet washing facilities were turned off so inevitably you end up bringing sand into the apartments that only get cleaned if you are there for more than a week. There was also confusing info in the welcome book. It said you have to pay for electricity so we really limited the use of air conditioning. It turns out you don’t pay and that is only for people who own their own apartments so we could have had a more comfortable holiday! Although good for the planet! The tennis court is actually a pickle ball court. Which was a really fun game, but should be advertised as pickleball not tennis as it is much smaller.

Our Apartment A12 was close to everything. We had the sun in the morning on the terrace where we had tree and sea views. We were welcomed by such lovely staff on reception and were really happy with our apartment. There was everything we needed in there. The beds were comfy and great curtains to block out the light in the living space for sofa bed and also the bedroom. Air-con in both that was needed. Nearby cabopino is abit more lively, so we enjoyed an evening on the beach listening music, had food in a marina restaurant, and also walked abit further to watch the sunset on our last night. Lots to do in mijas for families, we went to the water park and also inflatable on the beach. We also enjoyed the crazy golf at the hotel and the pool was quiet too. We will stay here again.

We had to keep the kitchen clean because there was abit of an ant issue, not a clue where they were getting in. We heard this affecting other hotels on the radio too, so didn’t report it as it did not get out of control! Oh and the pool table didn’t have an equal number of coloured balls.

The location is lovely, right on the beach and the boardwalk, a lovely bit of beach too! The apartments are a bit dated, but very well maintained, well equipped, and very comfortable. The grounds and pool are extremely well managed, and the gardens are beautiful, they have a tropical feel. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff, it has a happy feel, i would guess that the team have worked together for a long time. All in all - it’s an excellent place to stay.

The only thing we didn’t like was the proximity of our bedroom to the main road, it really didn’t spoil our holiday but the road is a bit noisy.

Very friendly staff, Javier was very helpful and very understanding in sorting out the payment issues through Booking. The apartment is very spacious, with a large terrace with deckchairs and a side view of the sea. The kitchen is equipped with appliances, basic dishes, accessories. The bathroom is bright, big enough. There is also washing powder and tablets for the dishwasher, an iron and an ironing board, a drying rack... It really is like being at home. Towels also for the pool. Grocery store nearby, nice bar Lennon across the road. A long walking path along the coast.

Basically, there are no significant flaws. Maybe some more dishes could be added, the knives could be sharpened. The amount of shampoo and shower gel is only enough for a few times, so it is better to bring your own. But these are really little things that did not affect at all the overall wonderful time spent there.

Comfortable, clean, waterfront property. Staff were helpful and responsive. Room was comfortable and well equipped. Deck felt private, had nice lounge chairs, an umbrella and a view of the water. Happy hour serves huge drinks. There is a wonderful boardwalk in front of the hotel that follows the ocean. You can cross the hwy on a pedway out front that takes you to a couple restaurants and a Lidl store.

They have a “no saving chairs at the pool with your towel rule” that no one follows or enforces so there were rarely chairs available. The hot tub is small and unappealing.
