In our travels we have found that the Europeans and the Americans have different tastes and expectations when it comes to a resort or hotel. The unit was adaquate at best - nothing more. We have traded our unit for other units in the States and this is not nearly as luxurious as the time shares we have had. The... more

Just come back from a week at Dona Lola! LIKED: 1) Room location. A few days before leaving from Rome to Malaga, I asked by e-mail for a room with sea view and I got Diana 107, on the ground floor, right in front of the beach and next to the pool! 2) The staff: they are unbelievable, so much... more

We are just beginning our 4th week at MacDonald Dona Lola in Calahonda.. this will be an extensive review for you- so bear with me. On arrival at 1:30 we were met by pleasant enthusiastic gentlemen on the front desk. Throughout our stay the staff at the front desk-as another TA poster has said- "have provided us with an "7"... more

What an experience. We have done some 63 exchanges and I must say this has been one of the best. The checkin at the reception area was done by a very pleasant gentleman called Antonio who spoke very good English. Instead of a pile of keys we were given just one plastic key. what a relief after staying at other... more

This was a lovely resort. We exchanged our timeshare week for this place. Given Luisa 'T', which was on the third floor, but lovely views over the Med. Gardens well kept and maintained and the pools are very well maintained too. Hubby is a water treatment specialist and always checks pools are looked after. Food in the complex not that... more

Resort is approximately 20 mins from Malaga airport and 15 mins from Marbella (Two roads - both really good, 1 toll, 1 free) Arrived at resort at 1pm, not expecting access until 5pm which is check in time -... more

Our flight arrived in Malaga at around 1pm and after a very quick hire car pick up we headed down the coast to Calahonda. Check in at Dona Lola is 5 pm but we arrived shortly after 2pm and the apartment was ready for us, check in was swift and took no longer than 5 mins with the usual forms... more

My husband and I stayed at the Dona Lola Club resort from May 17-24. Check in was smooth. I asked for a top floor apartment but didn't get it. We weren't impressed with Christine 106 so we went back to the office to see if they had anything else available. We ended up in Louisa “T”. Eventhough it is the... more

Spent a week here with another couple in a two bedroom apartment. Was pleasantly surprised with our apartment. Two bathrooms, full kitchen, dining area and lounge with a balcony and sea view. Plenty of bars, cafes and restauarants within the grounds or within few minutes walk. Lovely to have an adult pool where you could relax! Great place for hiring... more
