Almi Luxury Rooms

"We are staying 12 days. Food and rooms are wonderful. Service at the restaurant and housekeeping- impeccable. A very negative experience at the beach has very much tainted our trip. We feel unwelcome. We were told at check in we had an assigned pair of beach chairs, but if we wanted we could pick a beach chair, whichever worked for us. It would be assigned for our stay. That evening we went for our swim and next to our assigned chairs was a very intoxicated person. The next day we requested a chair in the middle of the hotel chair area, far from the original seats. The guy at the beach said ok but to be prepared to leave at any time if other guests come. We complied with this. This morning he raised his voice at me and my son when I requested to take more central chairs. He non stop kept interrupting me. I tried to explain we didn’t mind not being in the first row, we would take any chairs- we just wanted to be in the middle of hotel guests. When I explained what I was told at check in, he responded “I don’t care”, and proceeded to interrupt again and raise his voice. Instead of simply asking the check in person or a manager for help. I understand his work may be difficult, and maybe we were misinformed- but the way he responded to a request was incredibly unprofessional. If I had been one of the big 1.85m men in my family, I doubt he would have spoken to me this way. Instead he terrified my little kid. I had to ask him to lower his voice and be polite in front of my son. Even worse- after we went to the beach chairs he told us to take, he came back and said we were in the wrong chairs again. Then he proceeded to tell us he is the boss of the chairs and he decides so he doesn’t need to discuss anything with anyone. In many other places, this man would not have been tolerated a day. Worst beach experience. I tried to find a manager to discuss this with. Spoke to two different employees, while requesting a manager, and they both insisted he is the reference for beach chairs and we have to comply. For the price you can have a much better experience in a Greek beach resort. Especially given the time one spends at the beach. Sadly everything else is wonderful. Especially the chef at the restaurant is up to par with 5-star resort chefs. That said, having stayed in beach resorts in Asia, Hawaii, Cali, all over Europe, this is by far the worst beach experience."

Hotel Finiki View

"We have been coming back to this exceptionally beautiful hotel with its friendly family atmosphere for many years. Nowhere else on the island is as beautiful as Finiki. We are always happy to come back :)"

Hotel Astron Princess

"I could “just” say that this hotel provides the best value for money you can find , but that doesn’t even begin to describe this GEM of a place. Perfectly situated for easy walking everywhere, the whole facility is immaculately clean, nice pool (not fancy but more than adequate), breakfast was way better than expected with home made jams and freshly made omelette. Above everything else - the staff was the friendliest you will ever find !!! We went to a beach, and the lady offered us to take an umbrella that someone left there …. (NEVER happened to us)"

Istia Luxury Villas

"My family and I had a great 5 night stay at Istia. The view is incredible and the property is well-maintained. The condos are well-appointed for comfort and relaxing. We cooked breakfast and other light meals. Matina is always available for assistance and recommendations. You will need a car or rely on taxis if you rent here. We rented from Takis Rent a Car, which was also a great experience. It was a great stay and we are sad to say goodbye — for now!"

Omega Residences

Arkasa Bay Hotel

"Arkasa Bay offered more comfort, more space and more of a welcome in comparison with most other Greek island hotels that we have stayed at. We see this reflected in reviews by other guests as well. Breakfasts were tailored to people's requests. Rooms were cleaned every day. The hotel is small enough that it feels homely. You often see cats roaming around the terrace but they tend to shy away from guests and are fed discretely out of view. The nearest sandy beach is 10 minutes away, where you can enjoy a lunch or drinks at the nearby Glaros restaurant. For evening meals, we had the choice of several affordable restaurants close by, with Kipos being the best in our opinion. The only downside to Arkasa seemed to be impractical bus timetables if you didn't own a car. An excursion to Olympos is highly recommended."

Lefkorama

"Sofia and Manolis are the one of the kindest and most sincere host couple you will ever meet. They take very good care of their guests and provide very useful information about the hidden jewels of the magical island they live on. The rooms are very clean and very well taken care of, the beds very comfortable and the surroundings very peaceful and relaxing. A well nourished breakfast prepared with love will make sure your exploring-the-island-adventure will be a success. Thank you dear friends and may you have great Health and great Strength. We will come again to visit, no question about that!"

Theoxenia Kasos Luxury Apartments

"Super clean apartment on Kasos with nice view great service from host super friendly. Thanks for trip. Pick up and drop off from airport great extra service."

Thalassa Suites

"We have been trying for years to find a nice place to stay in Karpathos close to windsurfing sites in Afiartis but somehow we were never happy. Thalassa changed everything. It is clean, modern, cozy ,and roomy with tasty decorations and beautiful landscaping. It is conveniently located next to Anemos bar and the ION windsurfing centre. Manolis the owner is extremely helpful and this has to be one of the best accommodations in the island."

Dilina Studios

"Clean, spacious room, cool, with sea view, equipped with all necessary, a few meters from the village's central square, taverns and coffee shops, excellent service, cleanliness on a daily basis and politeness. Mrs Eugenia, the owner of the house, was quick and willing to ask for anything, until she offered us and took us by her car to St. Nicolau, in order to swim the day we didn't follow the group, her 10-year-old boy insisted on carrying our bags and giving us all the useful information about the rooms and the area. Her little girl, Cathiana, offered us flowers from the beautiful richness. It was a wonderful stay and an unforgettable experience that we will remember with love!"

Arkasa Palace

"We were very disappointed with our stay at this hotel. As we stayed at the Aphrodite villa which is considered prime accommodation, we expected more for our money. After 3 days our towels were still not replaced and one of the towels once had yellow stains on. We got clean sheets only once during our stay. The swimming pool pump was broken with the lid and filter flouting in the pool and was only cleaned the day before we left. The terrace was cleaned only once during our stay of 7 days. The dishes and glasses were washed and left wet on the drip tray and the coffee machine was never cleaned and the dirt bins were not cleaned regularly. Our room was sometimes cleaned between 15h00 and 16h00. You only receive 2 coffee pods on the day of arrival and have to buy additional pods for making coffee. The hot breakfast was disappointing. Ons day omelettes with the same filling every time and the next day boiled or fried eggs. The building needs attention. The one blind at the breakfast area was broken and it was quite windy during breakfast. Our friends had a smart TV in there room and could watch Netflix and we had an old TV with news in English and other languages Maria and her family are very friendly but she was more concerned with organising her brother’s wedding and went to Athens to buy a dress the last day of our stay. Her parents helped out when she was not there."
