Pros:

Macdonald Leila Playa Resort war eines der besten Resorts, die wir besucht hatten.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Wöchentlich gab es ein schönes Programm, auch für die Kinder.
Wir hatten ein Apartment mit zwei Schlafzimmern, zwei Badezimmern und zwei Balkonen gebucht, alles war sauber. Man findet alles, was man braucht, im Apartment, und der Ausblick auf das Meer war toll.
Das Restaurant serviert leckere Speisen in einer sehr angenehmen Atmosphäre.
Das Wasser im Pool war sehr schön geheizt, so kann man schwimmen, wenn das Meerwasser kalt ist.
Wir können es gerne weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Nicht

Supert opphold og flott beliggenhet i et fantastisk anlegg rett ved stranden!
Pros:

Hyggelig personale. Utrolig fin beliggenhet rett ved stranden. Fint bassengområde. Mange solsenger. Gratis solhåndklær til utlån i leiligheten. Relativt romslig leilighet.

Cons:

Kunne vært bedre utstyrt kjøkken, men det meste man trenger til et kort opphold var tilstede.

Pros:

All was very good, except the access and exit from the facility , a bit dangerous because of traffic in the main road . I guess they can do anything about it . The sign of the facility is not visible from far on the road , you see it when you reach the facility . Other than this all was very good

Vše v pořádku

familjärt trevligt bedagad skönhet behöver genomgående stilkoncept som följs och baseras på det fina befintliga
Cons:

Studion var kraftigt utsatt för trafikbuller dygnet runt samt att sophämtning skedde nattetid precis bredvid vilket dundrade Skulle vara bra att åtgärda med ljuddämpande fönster väggar mm

Rustige en fijne plek
Pros:

Wij hadden een apartement met twee slaapkamers, bedden comfortabel en een ruime keuken. Wasmachine en vaatwasser erin wat weg handig was. Het zwembad is verwarmd en de zee is vlakbij, wel een auto nodig om dingen te bezoeken. Fijne plek als je houdt van rust en en aan het strand wilt zitten. Supermarkt is op loopafstand. We kregen ook strandhanddoeken waardoor we met weinig bagage konden reizen.

Cons:

Je ziet dat sommige dingen wat onderhoud nodig hebben. De gootsteen was steeds verstopt bijvoorbeeld. Verder was het prima qua prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.
