"First off, we had an excellent checkin experience, and great site recommendations. The staff were great. The main issue was that the air conditioning did not work. This was reported to the front desk twice as the temp in the room went from 23C at checkin to 25.5C before dinner. The hotel rep went to the room when we reported the problem and fiddled with the thermostat. Seemed to work briefly when we went to sleep, but we woke up after midnight sweating at 27.5C. We opened the doors to the outside in order to cool down the room in the middle of the night. Reported this issue to the front desk at checkout. "

"Amazing views, brilliant hotel"

"This was our first hotel experience as a couple, as we normally hire a villa, car and fend for ourselves. However, family tragedies dictated that we needed to escape and be “looked after” in order to de-stress, rest and recharge our batteries after six weeks of heartache. To a large extent, the Karavados Beach Hotel allowed us to do that, but ….. there were a few things that could’ve been better - let’s get those out of the way first …… The main disappointment, and not the hotel’s fault per se, was the fact that its location is rather isolated, and a lengthy and arduous walk was the only way of experiencing other eating/drinking establishments. It won’t be the first time I say this, but a car is definitely needed, especially if your stay is lengthy. Secondly, the food served, especially the food served in the breakfast and evening buffet, was “warm” at best - nothing wrong with the quality or quantity though. Thirdly, the room we were in (deluxe with sea/mountain views had very little storage furniture - we managed okay, but a cupboard/chest of draws would’ve made life easier. Fourthly, the pool, which was excellent, was not available to use until 10am each morning - my wife loves a swim before breakfast, so that was a major disappointment for her. Finally, the absence of information, both of a tourist nature, and a housekeeping nature, was very noticeable in their absence. I’m especially referring to notices regarding fire drills, room etiquette and “places to visit”. Those"
