I booked this holiday as a cheap get away and seeing reviews I was getting a little worried. To start with I emailed them as I had noticed in photos no one in the pool had inflatables and they replied to say they weren’t allowed. I knew my kids would be disappointed with this. I’d seen comments about dirty rooms so I was worried as I walked into ours. But wow I was blown away! It has been recently painted as could smell paint, didn’t bother me as it was so clean and fresh. The apartment we had was ground floor and massive, lovely patio and grass area. 2 good sized rooms and a living room/sofa bed. Kitchen was old but well equipped, could have done with more cereal type bowls but not a massive deal. We had a washing machine so I got all our washing done which as a mum what a bonus having none to do when we got home! It was cleaned half way through the week, for me that’s enough I don’t like maids in my room lots. It was definitely a quiet complex,we thought maybe lots had been sold for private residence and wondered if that the end game for all the apartments? I knew we would have no entertainment, this is new kind of holiday for us and doing self catering and decided we definitely missed the all inclusive and corny entertainment haha! The pools were lovely and the grounds but it was very quiet and would more suit people who don’t really like being around kids! My kids missed making friends(son made one lovely friend) but I think he missed having lots of kids to play with. The life guards are grumpy and tell you off all the time. Someone said in a review the grass had thorns in it I think it’s just their type of grass it’s a little spikey so I’d advise shoes. I don’t think there was enough umbrellas a few more would of been great. Lots of sunbeds they are piled up never had an issue getting one which is a first! There are lots of steps around the complex but with slopes next to them that I thought were a little steep. Hotel is at the top of a hill but as able people we didn’t find it steep to walk up and down. There are some lovely restaurants along the main road and a couple of little mini supermarkets. We walked to Lidl to do a big shop and got a uber back for €18 they def aren’t cheap! We went to Marbella one evening which was lovely. We also went to the waterpark twice which the kids loved. You can get a bus but we did get Ubers there as didn’t want to listen to the kids moaning about walking in the heat and tbh I didn’t want to either so worth it! I prob only wouldn’t go back as we decided we much prefer not having to cook and wash up so on that note I don’t think it’s a bad little place at all

On arrival at the Ona Campanario apartments we couldn't get in reception as it closed at 11pm. If you are arriving late don't expect to get into your room. Fortunately a guest staying there let us in after 30 minutes hanging around and phoned the owner for the key to our room otherwise we would have had to find somewhere else for the night. It's not good customer service especially at 12.30am. Also the room we have is in the basement and its very dark and dated. There is a bar advertised on site however we were advised it has closed. Its too far to walk downhill and back uphill to shops and bars and we are quite active. Don't bother.

Booked via Interval international and wasn’t disappointed. On arrival check in friendly and helpful, had made several attempts to check in via the Ona hotel app to no avail?? Just had an updated electronic system whilst we were there so this hopefully will improve. Eduardo at reception was excellent and very helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. Was surprised we were allocated a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment for just 2 people. The apartment was very dated and definitely needs a facelift as does the outside of the whole apartment blocks. Our apartment was super clean and very spacious with a large balcony with table and 6 chairs, roof top solarium with no furniture and definitely needs a handrail to safely get up and down. There are small flower beds around the balcony sadly full of weeds and not maintained when they could be so pretty. Some apartments must be privately owned as they seem to be furnished outside/ plants etc around and we were told by some other guests they had furniture on the solarium. Our apartment was great, fully equipped, toaster, microwave, full size fridge freezer, full size hob and oven with utility room, washing machine and iron and ironing board , brush and mop. Bathrooms plenty of towels, body/ hair wash provided, both shower’s super hot and powerful. Lovely comfortable bed with blackout curtains. Lovely gardens around the pool are though grass full of thistles so don’t walk barefoot!! No entertainment or restaurant on site though small shop, further down the hill 5/10 minute walk are small supermarkets and several restaurants. The apartments are set in a gorgeous green residential area at the top of several steep hills with apparently a small bus that goes up and down once an hour. Be mindful also if you are going to the supermarket and need a taxi/ Uber back up the steep hill the prices are astronomical and scandalous, we were stunned at €18 for 1.5 mile journey!!!!! Not clear if this is a place on the up or on a decline? Definitely needs some TLC and investment though we had a great time and would return. NOT suitable for anyone who can not manage steps, whilst there are ramps throughout the grounds all the apartments have steps up or down to access them. We would also the area is not suitable for people with any mobility issues due to all the hills

The apartment was very large and had everything you needed including washing machine and dishwasher. Well positioned for shops bars and a short walk down hill to the beach that has a wonderful boardwalk. Apartment was cleaned roughly every 4 days we stay for 3 weeks over Christmas and new year. Staff were very helpful.
