Macdonald Leila Playa Resort

“Beautiful place!”

Just stayed here for 8 nights, in a three bedroom apartment that was amazing! Well equipped, clean and even a washing machine! Beautiful sea view too… Jose was always on reception and was such a pleasure to deal with! We will sure be returning 😃

“Wonderful stay at Leila Playa!”

We stayed here early Oct 2024, two couples in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit 12C located directly over the office. We had a large balcony with an amazing view overlooking the property and sea.

We stayed here early Oct 2024, two couples in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit 12C located directly over the office. We had a large balcony with an amazing view overlooking the property and sea. The units were well equipped, bedrooms a little small, but fine. One bedroom faced the highway side so there was some traffic noise at night. But not too bad. We probably could have drowned it out if we ran the AC but we didn’t. The front desk staff were wonderful and very helpful all week. With check in, check out, and anything we needed. Pool was heated and nice. Not crowded. Spent most of our time on beach. You can rent a tiki umbrella and 2 lounge chairs for 14 euros for the day from the restaurant next door. We loved the boardwalk! You can walk to restaurants in either direction. Be sure to take a flashlight, it’s dark on the way back at night. They leave you one in your unit. It’s nice having a grocery store right across the street you can walk to. Great central location to stay in. We rented a car for the week 320 euros. Explored Malaga, Old Town Marbella, Ronda, Estepona. Even took the ferry over to Morocco for the day. Great trip!

“Not bad for the money- needs updating”

Overall the hotel is what you expect for the money. We stayed in a 2 bed apartment. It was outdated and need of some work. Bathroom door when closed locked it self and you couldn’t get in. Wardrobe door fell off as all The hinges are broken. Sofa bed was falling apart as the holiday went on. But… more

Overall the hotel is what you expect for the money. We stayed in a 2 bed apartment. It was outdated and need of some work. Bathroom door when closed locked it self and you couldn’t get in. Wardrobe door fell off as all The hinges are broken. Sofa bed was falling apart as the holiday went on. But saying all this - it is clean and comfortable. Only had room service once in two weeks. You could ask for towels from reception. Restaurant is poor. Doesn’t open until 12 - expensive and all the food seems reheated, Closing time varied - one night closed at 8.15. Definitely the money has been spent on making the reception area look nice. We had two apartments in our family party and the one bed was a similar experience with it looking outdated. The real positives- location - next to the sea and a great harbour twenty minutes walk. The pool is lovely - great temperature and was never overall busy. Washing machine and other appliances a real plus. Reception and maintenance staff really friendly and helpful. Be warned - you need to pay for the electricity you use. Ours was around £75 for two weeks- but we were turning off the AC during the night. As it stands the costs is just about right- if it was to go up then the apartments need looking at.
