Beautiful well maintained grounds, next to a sea path, well furnished spacious accommodation .. Indoor pool sauna steam room and jacuzzi are of good standard, good parking facilities
and best of all..... very helpful staff.
Clean room, nice view, friendly staff, noisy tables and doors that can wake you early (due to scraping on stucco/cement floor). Grounds are beautiful and food is quite good as well. Pool area is clean. I would come back.
Very clean, has everything you need. Great location!

The Dona Lola complex is perfect for your family vacation, they look after you from day 1 until the end of your trip. The staff are amazing, facilities are great and the beach, restaurants and shops are local. My only issue on this trip was the apartment was very small compared to last 7 years of us going and the smell wasn't great. This could easily be forgiven after 7 years of faultless trips. We are back in July 2026 for our family vacation.

Very good stay. Very clean rooms, slightly dated, but fully functional none the less.
Highly recommended for a quiet off-peak long week away.

Whilst the room was clean the decor is very tired throughout. Outerlying areas were clean and tidy within the complex but some areas could do with a fix up - broken tiles, steps etc. Chevk in was quick and easy.The nearby resturants offer a variety of good food and were reasonably priced. We did not make use of the spa facilties on site.

The property had a lovely view overlooking the beach. It was a quiet family resort with plenty of swimming pools. There were plenty of places to eat and lovely walks on the boardwalk.
