Macdonald Highlands Hotel at Macdonald Aviemore Resort

We've stayed here before and it's always enjoyable. The rooms are becoming a little tired in places so a little tlc here and there, considering the price, would be good. The hairdryer had no back on which I hadn't noticed before using it and my hair got caught in the motor and some ripped out. some modernisation needed but we'd still stay again, as my son likes it and we love Aviemore so the location is great. The pool could be filled a bit more, we noticed the water was quite low and you could see a tide mark around the sides. The hot tub was rarely working. The staff are amazing though throughout the hotel and facilities.

The room and the breakfast were very good and staff friendly and helpful. We ate out as we hadn't booked dinner, bed and breakfast.

Friendly and helpful staff at reception one girl was exceptionally helpful, and hotel close to conference centre

Lovely food on our first evening. Breakfasts were very good, no other meals taken as we were there for a conference & other meals provided in conference venues.

Our double room had a huge king size bed, with amazing pillows, mattress and linens. The room had 2 lovely easy chairs and an occasional table to sit by the window, dressing table area, great hairdryer, and a basic coffee/tea tray. Good size TV, excellent free wifi. Shower over a bath - nice and hot, but not a full on power shower. We couldn’t believe how well insulated the room was. We stayed at New Year so it was busy with lots of families. I’m a light sleeper and didn’t hear a thing. Our room was on the corridor leading to the swimming pools, so only a few meters away without going outside. Breakfast was good and varied. Nice relaxing reception/bar area. We ate at 2 restaurants, both good though we preferred the Italian as the food was plentiful, cheaper and the staff all gorgeous and super friendly.
