Macdonald hotels closed down La Ermita resort at short notice and rescheduled our booking to their Dona Lola resort Not at all as we wished. Dona Lola was OK but not equal to La Ermita.

Overall a great little place that we thoroughly enjoyed staying at. The accommodation, pool and bar/restaurant were, whilst I would not go as far as to say excellent, was more than adequate for the price paid. Great value and we would have no hesitation returning with our two kids (5 and 9).

The hotel generally was lovely- very clean, well equipped apartment with a fantastic view.The staff on reception were helpful too. The bed was a little hard for us but the cleaners brought us a mattress topper as soon as we asked. The pool areas were very pleasant. It was a short climb up the hill to Mijas where there were many restaurants to choose from. Our favourite was Koko but you definitely need to book. The Indian restaurant was good too.

Fab hotel - loved it. Had 4 of us (all adults) in 1 apartment - very spacious, clean & incredible view from the balcony. Reception very helpful, and the 2 pools were small but absolutely fine. Gym was small but plenty of equipment in - so that was handy too. Free indoor parking was good too, although the spaces were a little tight to navigate! Overall 10/10 & would recommend to anyone.

The apartment we booked was one to sleep 6. The apartment was outstanding and was much more than expected. The apartment was supper clean with everything and more that we needed for our stay. The view was incredible. It was very quiet when we were there as it was middle of October. Plenty of sun loungers around the pool area and the spa facilities were lovely. Will be staying again. Mijas is a wonderful location with lots to see but it is very quiet at night although this wasn`t a problem for us.

We had booked a two bedroom apartment to give us the extra space. It was delightful. Everything you need in the apartment. All white goods including a dishwasher and microwave. Very good quality dishes and glasses, towels bed linen. Excellent. Will definitely go again sometime.

Great Holiday Break
Stayed at The La Ermita for the first time after many years visiting Mijas and my experience was very pleasant. The location is fantastic and the rooms are very spacious and come with everything you need for a self contained break. Kitchen with full facilities and air-conditioning that actually works well are a big plus on hot days. The only negatives are 1) The 2 x Outdoor pools and area are a little tired and in need of refurbishment. 2) Check in is late at 4.00 pm 3) The rooms are not changed/cleaned daily unless you pay 30 Euro's per clean. 4) Daily charge of 5 Euro's per day for utilities? So in all, it works out a little more expensive than first appears ! But the positives out-way the negatives and I will return to La Ermita one day in the near future.

The apartments are set in a perfect location with stunning views over the coast. The indoor and outdoor pools are beautiful and well looked after and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. There is a short walk into Mijas Pueblo (a steep incline but not very far and the lifts mentioned previously were out of order but I found the walk fine and I'm 60 years old). The only reason I didn't score this perfect was that every time someone flushed a toilet or had a shower the plumbing was very noisy. A small issue and on the whole I loved my stay.

La Ermita is in the perfect location within Mijas Pueblo. The 2 bed apt. we stayed in had everything we needed, with both an en suite bathroom and separate bathroom, both with showers, en suite with bath and shower which was all presented immaculately. The kitchen included both dishwasher and washing machine and all linen, cleaning products provided. The aparthotel was peaceful at all times and has beautiful, far reaching views across the surrounding coastal towns and the sea beyond from all balconies. With a small supermarket close by we were able to buy all the supplies we needed for our long weekend stay. While Mijas is a busy, lively village during the day time when many tourists visit , once the visiting tourists leave it is both tranquil and serene for evening walks, with plenty of bars and restaurants to stop off at along the way. The village itself is kept immaculately, I think just about the cleanest place I have ever stayed. It is obvious that this village which is steeped in history, with buildings and monuments to reflect this is well cared for by all who live here. One of my favourite places to visit, and never tire of, especially now I have found La Ermita.

Fabulous peaceful spot
We had a 2 bedroom apartment that had 2 huge balconies, albeit we only used one. The views from our balcony to the sea were simply stunning. The apartment was very well equipped, clean and very spacious. The only fault we could find was that the air conditioning was only in the lounge. Both bedrooms had a fan however. 2 good sized bathrooms. By bus it is only 30 minutes to the beach in Fuengirola, but as we were only in Mijas for 5 nights, we only ventured out once. Quite a few things to see in Mijas, and plenty of good restaurants.
