Four Macdonald Hotels and Resorts in Spain have received international industry recognition from TripAdvisor for their continued excellence in the hospitality industry.
Macdonald Leila Playa Resort, Macdonald La Ermita Resort, Macdonald Doña Lola, Calahonda and Macdonald Villacana, Estepona have joined the Hall of Fame, the top recognition from TripAdvisor. The award, which is based directly on customer feedback, is given to businesses from the hospitality sectors who consistently deliver exceptionally high levels of service for at least five consecutive years.
The awards are the first overseas accolades for Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, which owns a further five resorts and 43 hotels across the UK and recognises the continued quality of service on offer across the group’s Spanish offering. All of the company’s Spanish resorts are affiliated to RCI.

To be eligible businesses must have maintained a four or five rating on TripAdvisor, have a minimum number of reviews and received a Certificate of Excellence for five consecutive years.
