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.

Lovely small resort, accommodation is a bit tired and dated but nevertheless comfortable. The resort restaurant is excellent and pool is very good with plenty of sun beds. Lovely beach bar nearby. We will be back.

Perfect location and exceptionally clean and maintained. The only concern I have it the windy steps to the upper level floors with luggage and when wet. Kitchen equipment looked brand new.

Stayed here for 3 nights with friends. We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms, kitchen and bathrooms were clean. Reception closes early in the evening so we were able to check in via the evening caretaker. All in all a pleasant stay. I would highly recommend!

Great location. OK apartments.

Super location, right on the beach. Plenty to do and see around the area. Apts have washer, dishwasher, veranda. Must pay the electricity you use at end of stay. Grounds are immaculate, very pretty.

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.
