We booked for one week with us -( our Grand-daughter and her friend )- Through Worldwide Exchange Club. Pictures looked great - That was the best bit. The apartment was faded - grubby - The kitchen units were in a bad state of repair, the 'air conditioning' was a free standing circular fan which didn't even stand straight. There was... More

La Orquidea is just what you need for chilling out and complete relaxation. Our apartment was spacious and immaculate. The furnishing was pleasant and the flat screen television (with 5 English channels) was welcome when we needed to simply stay in and relax.There were ample cooking facilities in the well equipped kitchen, ideal for when you've had enough of dining...

This was our last true family holiday together before I left for University so we wanted to make the most of it. La Orquidea did not disappoint. Our penthouse apartment was affordable and very well fitted out, modern, spacious and comfortable. The apartment was open plan, with a kitchen facing onto the lounge and a large balcony which had a... More

This is a friendly resort with a nice atmosphere but was appauled at how dirty the swimming pools are, just take a look around the wall tiles really filthy. My children are grown up but if I had younger children I would not allow them in the pool, a friends family all went home with ear infections.....worrying. More

Requirements: When I travel it is usually along the road less travelled, I love the challenge of travel to remote places. When you travel like that you accept what ever comes along. Now I have a young daughter, priorities are different, at least for the next 3-4 years. The criteria I'm looking for now are cleanliness, well maintained pools and... More

We went here on a promotional holiday. This wasn't our first choice resort. Nor our second, third, or fourth. Nor indeed our tenth. I couldn't help but feel we'd been a bit scammed, but wanted to make the best of it. From La Orquidea, I wasn't expecting much, and wasn't in any way pleasantly surprised. I'll admit our mood on...

My husband, myself, 2 girls (8 & 6) and my 2 year old son stayed here for 2 weeks. Didnt know what quite to expect as booked it very last minute. Flavio the reservations manager was very helpful when booking. We arrived into Malaga and Calahonda is only 30 mins from airport. Was rather concerned about the hills. Definitely need... More

There were six of us and we spent 5 days for New Year at La Orquidea. The apartment (number 11) was really cheap and we weren't expecting anything amazing. But it was just great, quite big, nice little patio for ourselves, very clean and comfortable. The only drawback is that it's almost impossible to walk anywhere or from anywhere. You... More
