Argassi Beach

A hotel that relies on tourism. The rooms are generally clean, but you can tell the hotel isn’t exactly brand-new anymore. You have to pay for things that shouldn’t be part of a 4-star experience (e.g., coffee capsules). Facilities like the pool and fitness center are good, though here too you can see signs of age (sun loungers). Breakfast is sparse but good.

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.
