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.

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!
