About the home
Bonita Hills Rental is owned by Philip and Carole.
This beautiful holiday apartment was aquired after I retired from the fire service. One of the deciding factors for us was the stunning sea views and the tranquil tropical gardens in which the apartment is set.
We regard Bonita Hills as our second home and hope our guests feel the same during their stay. You will find the apartment is equipped with all amenities required for a self catering holiday.
Our beautiful and spacious apartment is finished to the highest standard with modern Spanish architectural details, marble floors throughout and quality German fittings. The furnishings and decorations are elegant, stylish and comfortable with all the amenities and luxuries you would expect from an apartment of this quality.
There are two large pools and lush sun drenched tropical gardens. One of these fabulous outdoor pools is overlooked from the front terrace and bedroom which is only meters away from the apartment. This terrace, which is attached to the front bedroom, gives extensive views over the tropical gardens and pool, whilst the rear terrace looks out with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. The picture from the rear terrace is a "Genuine” stunning sea views and not taken from another location in the complex. The large rear terrace is part covered and part uncovered and is sun drenched all day from sunrise to sunset.

The amphitheatre at Constitution Park (once the garden of a private residence) is frequently used for concerts and plays in the summer, casinos, clubs and just about every sporting activity under the sun.

Thank you very much for such a comfortable stay in your apartment. It was everything we expected, and more. A really well appointed "home from home". Your efficient handling of our booking, the local information you provided and prompt dispatch of the keys made it all so easy. The apartment itself,and Bonita Hills are extremely comfortable and appealing and help contribute so much to a holiday. The surrounding area offers so much to visit without excessive traveling, with such an array to choose from, be it golf, walking, sightseeing, eating out, shopping or just ambling around. I'm sure we'll be back, and thank you once again.

My Wife and I have had a wonderful time. Very relaxing especially by the pool. The tropical gardens are beautiful.
The apartment was as described, very comfortable, and the view from the terrace was out of this world and couldn't get enough of it. Hoping to be back end of August if available.

Review Submitted: October 27, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
I could not believe how lovely the weather was in the early winter months - sunbathing in December!! We decided to spend two months in Spain last November and needed to find somewhere to stay and were very pleased with our choice.
The apartment was clean and well equipped, bright and spacious, with a lovely large south-facing balcony with views down to the sea below. Many hours were spent topping up the tan, reading our books and sipping the odd glass of wine.
It is well positioned with the local supermarkets, bars and restaurants of Calahonda to hand (where you can watch all the televised football games live) and midway between Malaga and Marbella. There is plenty of choice for days out with a variety of places in easy reach. The old town in Marbella has real character and is an ideal spot for a stroll and a meal, particularly at weekends when there is a great atmosphere.
Perhaps the best recommendation is that I tried to book the apartment when returning in January, however someone had beaten us to it.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the Review Tony and Family.
Don't forget, your welcome back anytime.
Phil and Cazzy.
