This was the best holiday of our lives. We came for our honeymoon and a private romantic wedding for just the two of us — and the team at Contessina Suites & Spa made it truly exceptional.
From the very first day, the staff became our family. Their kindness, attention, and warmth were beyond anything we had ever experienced. I remember every single person by name, and this human connection is the most precious thing we brought home with us.
A very special thank you to Maria, the Guest Relations Manager. She made every day unforgettable and supported us through the entire wedding preparation with genuine care and dedication.
We also want to express our sincere gratitude to Arsid, whose professionalism and generosity meant so much to us. We know how much he did for us, and we are very thankful!
I have never experienced such a strong desire to return to the same hotel for the same kind of holiday, but here this feeling appeared immediately.
The hotel has a Michelin Key, but that was not our main reason for choosing it. Everything here — the atmosphere, service, comfort, food, and attention to detail — creates a truly unique experience. Staying at Contessina is not just a hotel visit; it is something much deeper and more meaningful.
Breakfasts
Our first surprise came the moment we arrived early in the morning: instead of paperwork and waiting, we were invited straight to breakfast and offered a coffee. It was an extremely thoughtful and welcoming gesture.
Breakfasts are excellent: fresh orange and pineapple juices, a rich buffet with everything needed for a perfect English breakfast, cheeses, and à la carte dishes from avocado and salmon bruschetta to pancakes. And if you had a fun night, you can even make yourself a Bloody Mary in the morning. The atmosphere during breakfast feels elegant and calm, like a scene from a well-made series.
A gesture we will never forget
To celebrate our wedding, the hotel surprised us with a complimentary room upgrade. This touched us deeply and made our stay even more memorable.
Our advice
Stay for at least seven days. The hotel organises special dinners at Nobile restaurant , events, and activities that do not repeat, and it is worth experiencing all of them.
We already miss everyone and look forward to the new season.
Thank you for making us feel like welcome guests and not just clients.
We cannot wait to return!

Exceptional Stay - Wonderful Staff, Service, Food, and a Beautiful Hotel! (Highly Recommended)
From the moment we arrived, we knew it was going to be a very nice day. The hotel itself is modern and spotlessly clean throughout. Our room was very nice and clean too, but what truly set this place apart was the staff—they were absolutely exceptional.
Outstanding Service and Cuisine
The hotel team was very helpful and accommodating, making us feel looked after without ever being intrusive. They weren't "in your face," but they were always just there if you ever needed them.
The restaurant staff deserves special mention. Asid, Nikoleta, Alex (aka John😉), Amos, and the others were absolutely brilliant! The Chef was also absolutely amazing, and the smells coming from the meals were out of this world. We thoroughly enjoyed our à la carte experience in the evenings.
We could not thank the restaurant staff and the reception staff enough for their kindness. It was really nice to be waited on when we were sitting around the pool, as the staff would thoughtfully bring us some fruit and drinks.
The Only Downfall: The External Spa
The only downfall was the spa, which is run by an external company.
First, despite being told we could have a free swim in the indoor pool and a sauna session once a day (which we booked only once through the hotel reception to be fair to other guests), it was very disappointing when we arrived to find they had not honoured our booking and had booked someone else in our place. We were then told we should book directly with them if we wanted to use the indoor pool and sauna as they would overwrite any bookings made by the reception. You'd think they would honour bookings made by the hotel that provides the facilities for them to run their business!
Second, we found the spa's marketing tactics over the top and disruptive. They were ringing around each room several times a day trying to get bookings. While we sat by the main pool, you could hear the ringtone coming from each room one by one—even other guests laughed at it at one point. We know people are trying to find business, but we found it not very considerate and definitely not allowing you to relax, especially if someone was unwell or trying to have a nap on their room.
Despite the frustrating spa experience, we would definitely recommend the hotel—it was brilliant! The hotel is a fantastic, clean, and modern property. We could not thank the rest of the hotel team enough for such a wonderful stay.

Fantastic resort with amazing service! We stayed in the private pool suite….would highly recommend this room. So spacious and great to have your own pool, as the resort pool can get busy during the day. We especially loved the front office staff, nothing was ever a problem and they were so helpful. Very impressed that
Fantastic resort with amazing service!
We stayed in the private pool suite….would highly recommend this room. So spacious and great to have your own pool, as the resort pool can get busy during the day.
We especially loved the front office staff, nothing was ever a problem and they were so helpful. Very impressed that they genuinely wanted to know how they could improve anything about the resort.
We loved that it was a more boutique resort and adults only.
Perfect location to walk to lots of cafes, shops & beach.
We will miss being there🥰
