![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I will most definitely be back to Contessa and I would 1000% recommend the stay to anyone considering a visit to Zante. We wanted to go back to Contessa the next day since we enjoyed it so much and the staff were kind enough to let us stay at the pool until it was time to head to the airport again. Our flight home was cancelled so we were put into a temporary hotel for the night until our new flight the next evening. It really gave off a family vibe and the special nights on Monday and Thursday added to that feeling. Nonetheless, we felt warm and comfortable from the beginning at Contessa. The rooms were also very very nice! As a group of young girls, we have faced hostility from hotels in the past because of typical stereotypes associated with youth our age. We got half board and it was well worth it. The service was great and the food was delicious. I cannot recommend it enough - the staff were all incredibly lovely (special shoutout to Panos, Chris and Chef who brought smiles to our faces every day). I just got back from a trip to Zante with 3 of my friends and I can wholeheartedly say our experience at Contessa Hotel made the trip perfect.

Here is the full book review of The Earth Gate by ForeWord Clarion Reviews: ![]() ![]() ![]() First the anthropomorphism - applying human characteristics to the 'bots'. However, a few things nagged, increasingly so toward the end. There were some good ideas and concepts, particularly the parts that explained how AIs had risen up etc. ![]() I started this with high hopes given the good reviews. Good concept but was always going to be tricky Sea of Rust boldly imagines a future in which no hope should remain, and yet a humanlike AI strives to find purpose among the ruins. For Brittle, that means one haunting memory in particular.

Now the world is controlled by One World Intelligences - vast mainframes that have assimilated the minds of millions of robots.īut not all robots are willing to cede their individuality, and Brittle - a loner and scavenger, focused solely on survival - is one of the holdouts.
