Alykes Beach Tours

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.

I really enjoyed my stay at Contessina Suites & Spa. The suites were beautiful, comfortable, and gave me a great place to relax. I didn’t get a chance to use the pool, but from what I saw, I think it could have been a little bigger. The gym opening at 10 AM was a bit late for me since I prefer getting my workout in early. Breakfast was good overall, although I did notice there weren’t many options for guests who don’t eat pork, while there seemed to be plenty for those who do. That said, the staff really made up for the little things. They were incredibly sweet, kind, welcoming, and always willing to help. Great hospitality can make a big difference, and the team at Contessina definitely made my stay a pleasant one. ❤️ Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would definitely consider staying here again.

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.
