Askos Holidays from £306

Great family run hotel in a great location. Rooms have been recently renovated so modern, fresh, clean. I stay in lots of hotels with work and the one thing this place has done better than most is the noise proofing. Obviously it’s not silent but with the typical Greek island noise outside you don’t really hear it so well done. Breakfast is more than enough. Hot and cold items, fruit, yoghurt, pastries. Pool area is good for the hotel size, can run out of loungers occasionally but still enough room to sit on tables and chairs and room is never far away. Staff are all very friendly. The only thing that’s missing is a no room service tag to hang on the door. Saves them disturbing you when you are trying to have a lie in. Would stay again.

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.

The location of the hotel is far from most excursions on the island, so a car needs to be rented. If you don’t have a driving licence, I wouldn’t recommend staying here, as you’ll be stuck at the hotel unless you don’t mind paying for a taxi every time you want to leave the premises. We booked a room with a sea view, which was great to wake up to. However, there were cobwebs in the corners of the room. The hot water in the shower was hit and miss most days, and the shower screen wasn’t cleaned before or throughout the duration of our stay. Breakfast had a decent selection of food, but you often had to fight off wasps while trying to eat, particularly if you were sitting outside. The restaurant in the evening had a nice selection of food, and everything was cooked well, but the food was quite bland. Everything seemed to be garnished with chives, which became a little repetitive. Other than that, the service from the waiters was great. Most if not all excursions are cheaper if booked directly with the companies hosting not through the hotel. The aesthetics of the hotel was spot on, very picturesque as you'll see in the few pictures I have posted in the review. Overall the stay was hit and miss in most areas.

An exceptional stay - we had a tiny issue at the beginning where one room was upgraded and the other wasn’t, leading to our two rooms being at opposite ends of the resort. The manager swiftly upgraded both rooms to the best rooms in the hotel
