Don’t be fooled by the photos.
Don’t be fooled by the photos. They show different places within the ‘resort’ and the most standout photos are of the ‘Highland Hotel’ part of the resort. Double check which hotel you are staying in within the resort to avoid disappointment.

The property is very dated, the cleanliness is not great, the rooms looked clean but were still dusty and musty smelling. The staff however were great, super friendly and helpful. Pool was good the kids really enjoyed this facility, but no information about timings, we were lucky we arrived before it closed! The parking was good lots of space.

We were very happy with our stay here. It was clean, beds were comfortable and a great location next to Glencoe National Park. Our stay also gave us credit for dinner and breakfast, both of which were very good. The staff was friendly and very attentive. It is within walking distance to the downtown area. Very happy with this hotel.

Wonderful staff, but dated hotel
Super position in Aviemore, very near the shops and restaurants. The hotel is looking dated now. Breakfast was good. The most annoying things were the heavy, banging hotel doors and the fact that my key card kept failing to work, necessitating many (longish) walks back to reception. The best thing about this hotel are the super helpful staff, particularly reception.

The Aviemore Hotel bar and Spey burgers restaurant were not open, part of the reason for us chosing this hotel and resort. It was disappointing as fussy kid eater. The other restaurant giivannis was nice and quick service with friendly staff.

Pleasant stay need better info from Hotels.com
No stars to Hotels.com who send the wrong information about which MacDonald Hotel we were staying in. I was sent details for a hotel which is currently closed at the MacDonald resort. The resort has three hotels, one of which is currently closed for renovation and we wasted some time looking for the correct hotel. The actual hotel, the MacDonald Highlander was very comfortable though in need of some updating. Very tasty buffet breakfast.

Nice hotel, good facilities. Kids loved the soft play and all the floats in the pool! Great park too. Very quick to get to anything in Aviemore. Would recommend making reservations for food in advance! La Taverna pizza in Aviremore was exceptional! The hotel is starting to look a little bit tired in some places and could do with a bit of maintenance,but I guess it is to be expected. Staff were all very friendly. Rooms could do with a mini fridge to store milk in for the kids bottles.
