It was our first time in Greece, and we weren't advised about the "star" ranking of the hotels. Luckily for us we chose this five-star hotel. Actually this hotel is very good, but for a four-star hotel. The staff of Kontokali Bay Hotel was kind but not exaggerating. We were greeted with a bottle of local wine (Kontokali). The waiters are kind if you tip them, otherwise they are very cold. We stayed in the bungalows, which were distributed across a beautiful garden. The room was large and clean, with a nice terrace, though the view wasn't the best. However, the furniture was probably from the '80's.

The beach was excellent, because it belonged only to this hotel. Chaise-longues and towels were available free of charge. There is also a nice buffet on the beach where you can eat at lunch. A good variety of watersports is available. Moreover, you can rent a motor boat to sail near the island's shore. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. The serving style is buffet (though the waiters bring you drinks which cost you extra) and the greek food is the best you can get

The spa is good, as a hotel guest we had access to sauna, jacuzzi, indoor pool, whirlpool, steam bath and fitness. Extra charge you can get a massage - very professional and refreshing. Other beauty services are also offered.
The location is not good at all in terms of visiting. The area is quiet, but this means that the hotel is in the middle of nowhere so if you want to go for a walk you don't have many possibilities. We went to the nearby town of Kontokali (about 1,5 km) where we found an excellent restaurant (even the hotel staff was recommending it) - Gerekos

If you want to visit more, I recommend hiring a car - this is what we did. Bottom line, the hotel is good but not as good as expected. However, we were happy to arrange our holiday here, rather than at a lower ranked hotel, because (from what we heard) a three star ranked hotel on this island (and in the most parts of Greece) is actually more like a two star or worse.
