8.6/10 Excellent! (224 reviews)
The lobby, and restaurant area look pretty good. But the rooms definitely need an upgrade. Air conditioning not working properly all the time, you have to bang the door to the room to close it and open it, no coffee/tea amenities in room, no iron, no robe, no slippers. No bellhop to help with luggage. I have fallen on the front steps of the hotel twice because the steps didn’t have enough light and floor markers. No one came to help me even though I’m sure I was visible to the desk staff through the glass doors.

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.
