Ionian Islands Region Budget Hotels

"Gorgeous hotel Staff go out of their way to please. Service is the best Free shuttle into town is great "

"This is by far one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to (and I am a frequent traveller). The nature is outstanding and they really take care of the outdoor surroundings. The hotel itself is not a 5* one, I would say a 4* (the main building needs a bit refreshed to get a 5* status), and the staff needs a bit more training for that to be credited 5*. While we had an amazing experience and a wonderful welcome that we very much appreciated (a birthday cake and champagne upon arrival), there were tiny aspects that made me see why itțs not at 5* yet. Some of the staff in the breakfast/dining area were kind of rude (because at the start of breakfast there were not enough staff and those present were running around quite stressed). On our last day we had to leave early to the airport and we did not know that we had to book an early breakfast so we were there at 07:20 (the breakfast starts at 07:30 - very late for such a resort with so many people!) and even though most of the food was displayed and we told them that we did not know about the booking of an early breakfast we were shouted at that we should not touch the food. This kind of attitude is incompatible with any hotel rated 4* and above.. I would say book the hotel for its nature, for the beach, for the absolutely fantastic surroundings, but do not expect it to be a perfect 5* hotel. "

"Really nice pool area, incredible breakfast, clean rooms!"

"Staff is awesome! Great location close to airport. Clean rooms."

"Grea hotel . Great service . Wonderful staff "

"Had a fantastic week, there’s at least 5 outside pools, all inclusive food - meals buffet style across main and beach restaurant, other options - pizza/pasta and sandwich bar. Wide range of drinks also all included… wine, beer, juices, fizzy drinks, water… pancakes and ice-creams favourite for our family!!! Long beach - loads of sun beds. Entertainment every day and night.. staff really friendly. "

"The beach, gardens and the layout of the resort are really beautiful. Cristal clear sea water. A lot of natural shade under trees on the beach. The only thing- nature wise- if you come in May like we did- the sunset is on the other side of the island (this is east side) so there is no sun on the beach from around 5-6. I imagine this to be a good thing when it's really hot in Jun, July and August but in May it does shorten your stay at the beach. Lush greenery all around resort. Animation is on the balanced side- that is a good thing for me- the quiter the better. All in all - a really good place for families."

"Excellent stay"

"We had such an amazing time at Contessina celebrating our anniversary/my partners belated birthday. As soon as we arrived the staff were so lovely and welcoming – we were delighted to be given an upgraded room with a private pool this truly made our trip extra special and we were so grateful for that!! Overall the ambience of the hotel is sooo peaceful, from the well equipped gym, the gorgeous poolside bar and chill areas to the exquisite breakfast. This hotel is a must stay in Zakynthos! We wanted to say a special thanks to Christina at the bar who made the best cocktails and was truly a ray of sunshine to see every day! Thanks again to everyone at the hotel who made our trip so special – we will be back hopefully very soon! Thanks again, Gaby & Dom x"
