I had a mixed experience at Contessa Holiday Apartments. The location was definitely a highlight, being close to the beach and local eateries. However, the apartment I stayed in was quite dated and had several maintenance issues, which was disappointing. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and helpful, which made my stay a bit more pleasant.

I had a mixed experience at Contessa Holiday Apartments. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and lovely cafes, but the apartment I stayed in was quite dated and had its issues.

Facilities were okay but really need some updating. The pools were nice, but things like no BBQ facilities or shaded areas made it less impressive.

I spent nine nights at The Contessa in Main Beach and truly loved my stay. The location was fantastic, with a flat walk to various restaurants and cafes, plus the beach just minutes away. However, the apartment itself was a bit dated and could benefit from some renovations. The pools were amazing, particularly the outdoor options, which added to the experience.

My stay at Contessa Holiday Apartments was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, just a stroll to wonderful eateries and the beach. but my apartment experienced several maintenance issues that were disappointing. Despite the great facilities, the service could have been friendlier. Overall, it offered a good base for exploring the Gold Coast, though some aspects left me wanting more.
