Karavados Beach Hotel

Very friendly and nice and helpful stuff. Stunning view (garden and the sea). Big and deep pool. Clean rooms. Cleaning stuff is very reliable. I can't confirm opinions about old furniture because in my room (standard room) everything was new and very good looking. Very good food, even if You are vegetarian You have a lot of options. Absolutely fabulous sweets (cakes and mousses) . I felt in love with chief and his cooks :) If You don't want to spend all time in the hotel or on the beach (which is very nice,but sometimes crowded ) You will need a car. Public transport isn't very good on the island. There is a bus to Argostoli ,You have to book ticket day before if You want to go. Bus is at 9 and probably at 11.30, and return is at 16 and 19. Island is really quiet and beautiful but without a car You would't have a chance to see it. Near the hotel there is no places to go for a walk, except for Saint Thomas Beach and two tavernas near by. There is a shop about 2 km away and very nice sandy beach (Trapezaki) ,it is long and empty -about 30 minutes of walking. In hotel there are a lot of swallows. In Poland we say that swallow stays only in places where good people live. I think that's all about this place. I hope that I will come back to this place someday.

This hotel is the friendliest place you will ever visit, the staff are pleasant , some of the staff are ; Peter, Alex, Damitrie and harry , these people make your day but only start at 4 pm . Overall this is a friendly place with a built in delicious restaurant and pool

We spent a week in Karavados Beach Hotel recently. The room was basic but then we've travelled to Greece many times in self catering and are used to a no frills room. It was very clean and the cleaner came every day. The staff in the hotel were extremely friendly and very helpful. The pool was lovely and cleaned every day. We were delighted with the geographical situation but it may be too hilly if there are mobility issues. We hired a car for 3 days and toured the island which is absolutely beautiful. There's a beautiful bay not far away where there are two places to eat by the sea; however you have to climb a hill to get back up to the hotel. No problem for us but may cause an issue for some. Taxi's are both reliable and timely. We thought they were on par with Scottish fares. Everyone of the locals we met were extremely friendly. I would definetely go back and especially for the view from our room alone which blew me away every single day.
