Pros:

The one real highlight was the staff, who were exceptionally friendly, warm and helpful. They deserve genuine praise for their hospitality.

Cons:

Disappointing Experience – Definitely Not a 4-Star Hotel

Unfortunately, our stay at the Donna Anna Hotel was disappointing. The hotel is very dated and clearly in need of renovation and maintenance.

The breakfast buffet was extremely basic and fell well below our expectations. The towel holders in our room actually came off the wall, and the sun loungers by the pool were broken and in poor condition.

Overall, the hotel does not live up to the standards of a 4-star property. It lacks the comfort, upkeep and welcoming atmosphere one would expect from a hotel that aims to offer a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Unfortunately, friendly staff alone cannot compensate for the poor condition of the facilities and the lack of quality throughout the property.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-maintained 4-star hotel or a truly relaxing holiday experience. The property has potential, but significant investment in renovation and maintenance is urgently needed.

Pros:

The property has enormous potential: the gardens are beautiful, the views are stunning, and direct access to the beach is a real asset.

However, a complete renovation is needed. The furniture and the entire infrastructure are outdated and would benefit from a major upgrade. Soundproofing is inadequate, and the rooms lack proper blackout curtains or other effective protection against the early morning sunlight, which can negatively affect sleep quality.

Breakfast is the same every day, lacks variety, and adds little value to the overall guest experience.

With investment in renovation, comfort, and service quality, this property could become an exceptional place to stay.

Pros:

Complimentary pick up and drop off from and to the airport.

I cannot recommend Dona Ana enough! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome. They were all polite and full of smiles always ready to help). The room was clean, beautifully designed, and comfortable. I had a sea view. The location is perfect. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety.

Bof on peu trouver mieux pour le même prix.
Pros:

Emplacement top, navette super, cadre joli, chambres propres, restaurant et petit dej bon.

Cons:

Personnel de l’accueil pas top, c’est un avis partagé aussi avec d’autres clients la bas.
Revoir les bases de l’accueil pour tout le monde.
Bon courage pour avoir des serviettes avant 17h… et ceux tous les jours.
Ils proposent pleins d’exclusions mais communiquent très mal les infos.

The staff, reception, restaurant etc, were absolutely fantastic. Helpful, well spoken and great job
Pros:

we didn't have breakfast but the meal we had was delicious

Cons:

The hotel itself was a splendid Art Deco building but unfortunately it is in a very bad state of disrepair. What maintenance and additions have been been done are a tragedy. Such a shame!

Most overrated hotel we've stayed in through Booking. Com
Pros:

Breakfast was substandard for a 4star hotel: we found mould on the bread one morning; presentation was pathetic; some of yesterdays unfinished breakfast was served again; cold meat and cheeses were served on a dinner plate and cling wrapped;

Cons:

Location was poor and the general ambience of the establishment was a 2 star. We were overcharged for what we got. Pictures on Booking.com are deceiving.
Gardens were poorly kept. No decent access to the beach.
We cancelled accommodation early and checked in elsewhere. Management promised to refund us for the 3 days but thereafter they refused and offered us a credit for a return visit at Dona Ana . . . why would we ??
