Staff. View from the room

I was never able to use the pool area because it was always full since I would wake up later in the morning. all chairs were take. The beach in front of the hotel is an option however it was so rocky that would steer me away from even trying to go in the water.

The hotel is comfortable and clean, nice rooms with a lovely (side-)oceanview. Great pool and nice beach. Really love the luxurious sunbeds and we were fond of the beach/poolboys who removed the towels from people who reserved sunbeds without using them, people like that should not stay at a 5star hotel. We liked the a la carte restaurant at the pool during daytime. It's just a short walk to town for shopping and restaurants.

The gym was a big disappointment, none of the 4 treadmills worked and I liked this hotel because it also supposibly had gym facilities. We did not like the dinerbuffet so much, but that's personal. If you like a buffet, it's fine I guess. We just love Greek food in a Greek atmosphere so we went dining in town. To bad we couldn't book the hotel without diner.

Excellent location Super clean, rooms, gardens, pool and beach.

pool and the location are really PROS

gym facilities and the beach

the location couldn’t be better. close to the main town but not so close that it was noisy. The whole hotel was clean and tidy an a real pleasure to be there.

As with so many others, there is no gym but one is advertised (though I didn’t book it because of that). Yes, they have one weight machine that is supposed to give you a full body workout but because literally one half not working & the other half can only be used one at a time (also falling apart) it meant that you have to be extremely creative in order to manage about 4-5 sets of a limited exercise. I usually work out but was warn about it from other reviews so I only went once to see for myself. I had to share each exercise with another person due to only one part working. It was fine but of course made everything take twice as long. I gave it a pass and decided it wasn’t worth fighting over if someone happened to come to workout.

central location very clean rooms were good size with good breakfast and excellent pool and surroundings

windy location but this is an Island. communications to and from Island are quite difficult. infrequent ferries and only connections by air to Athens and Rhodes

The infinity pool...beachfront...local tavernas....15 min walk to Pigadia town.

The shop in the hotel needs some care.....no milk....items unpriced....no imagination of display

The pool, the playroom, the atmosphere. Great location, close to city center, close to the airport. Very nice room

The food was ok, we expected more from a five star hotel

The Alimounda Mare Hotel is located conveniently directly at the beachfront in walking distance of Pigadia's many excellent restaurants and several shops and supermarkets. The staff was very friendly and professional, tours organised through the hotel were super and the breakfast and dinner buffets were great, too. The pool and beach facilities have everything you need, with the small caveat that the stretch of beach on which the hotel is located has a mix of pebbles, rocks and sand (esp in the water). The hotel has built a convenient entry point to go swimming, but it's still useful to have watershoes - which you can buy cheaply at a nearby super market. Regarding CoVid: One of the reasons we decided to go to Karpathos was due to its low CoVid incidence rate at the time of our stay. The hotel also had additional measures in place that made us generally feel safe.

While the hotel staff was adhering well to CoVid safety measures, some of the guests did not and e.g. did not wear masks in the elevator. While I understand it is difficult for hospitality services to reprimand customers, I would have personally preferred hotel staff to enforce safety measures a bit more strictly.

A multi-facilities hotel in a tourist island. They accommodated our last-minute request to extend the check-out time.

The high-tech TV-on-a-mirror was a "failure", as it could be used only in room blackout conditions. I am sure it cost them a lot, and it will cost much more in the future when they replace the system.
