"Very nice clean hotel. Location was perfect for the activities we had arranged. 25 min to airport, and almost the same to go downtown. Little bit noisy in some rooms that face the main street but nothing to worry about. Excellent staff very helpful but a little bit overpriced. Overall is a very good and pleasant place to stay"

"Amazing hotel with incredible staff, amenities, views, and food. Highly recommend and will be returning. The pool and beach were great, the grounds were well maintained, and the attention to detail was perfect. The staff were friendly and accommodating, in particular Peggy who made a lasting impression, she was incredible. Also the staff who served us breakfast and dinner were amazing, their service was impeccable. At the pool bar, Katarina was incredibly sweet and a highlight of our trip. We had a lovely stay, 5 stars for everything!"

"Modern base with great staff, but mixed for families with older kids ​ We spent 8 days here in early August as a family of four. Overall, the hotel offers modern comfort and friendly service, though several aspects could be improved for family stays. ​ Rooms: Modern, spacious, and very accommodating with comfortable beds, great storage, and an excellent shower. Housekeeping was daily and pleasant, though floors needed more thorough hoovering. Nighttime noise was an issue, with younger guests below behaving inappropriately in private swim-up pools. ​ Dining: The restaurant is clean and well laid out with attentive, polite staff. However, the buffet area feels small, food variety is limited, there is no dedicated kids' corner, child-friendly choices are minimal, and the snack bar needs more options. ​Location & Amenities: Excellent location close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and activities. The pool is nice but lacks waterslides, and there is no entertainment for kids aged 6+. Additionally, while the staff were welcoming, we experienced uncomfortable staring from some Eastern European guests towards our mixed-race family. ​A solid, clean hotel, but better dining variety, more activities for older children, and less nighttime disruption would improve the family experience."

"Great choice overall , loved the location, amenities, and the staff were super helpful and friendly. Breakfast selection was excellent, and the restaurant Flow was a real highlight, the kind of place you could easily spend all day in. A few small things held it back from perfect: room layout could be improved (no plugs near the mirror for hair/makeup, limited counter space around the sink), and pool-area privacy was disrupted by gardeners cleaning during the day. Room service options felt limited and skewed heavy/fried , more variety would help, especially for warmer weather. The minibar fridge also wasn’t cooling properly, so drinks weren’t cold. There were rubbish behind the pool which could have easily been removed when pool is cleaned too. None of these are major issues, but fixing them would make a great stay even better."

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Contessina is brilliant. An oasis of a hotel in what is a bustling resort town. Once inside the doors you could be anywhere in the world. The design of the renovated hotel is brilliant. Modern and sophisticated, and the planting is beautifully done. We enjoyed 2 weeks here, using it as a base to discover the island when we had a car for some of the time. The main pool area is lovely, but be warned, all of the pools are 1.4m deep with no shallow / deep ends."
