Arkasa Palace

Uno studio ben attrezzato con splendida vista e superbo tramonto. Una bella piscina riparata dal vento. Deliziose colazioni in armonia con la Grecia. Buoni ristoranti nelle vicinanze e soprattutto un'accoglienza e un servizio di alta gamma con un sorriso. Posizione ideale per visitare la bellissima isola di Karpathos e le superbe spiagge vicine

Our first vacation in three years, first time together without the kids, we had high expectations. We arrived on april 29 and there she was, Maria from Arkasa Palace, she gave us the most warm welcome! The boutique hotel was beautiful with a warm,modern and luxurious feel to it. Breakfast was a small party every morning with delicious products and home made items. Throughout our stay Maria was always there to answer questions, talk about our day trips and give ideas about the ‘must sees’ and provide the guests with the best of service. The Island of Karpathos is full of beauty, friendly people and amazing food. Our expectations have been exceeded, in spite of the weather conditions. Highly recommended by us for a peaceful, relaxed vacation with a touch of magic, both Karpathos and Arkasa Palace!

We spent one week in the private Aphrodite villa with private pool. Maria, her Mom and the entire team were incredible. We were completely relaxed right from the beginning. The hotel has an outstanding service, the sea view is incredible. The whole place is so cozy and heart worming. Maria has created a wonderful stylish environment. The villa itself is offering a private atmosphere and we really enjoyed the little pool very much. The room, the terrace and the pool were cleaned every day it is in real proper condition. Being on holiday you can ignore a cracked mirror (will be fixed soon). The room provides a small kitchen, which we just have used in the morning to prepare a cup of coffee. Enjoying a cup of coffee in the early morning on the terrace with the unbelievable Aegean Sea view is just unreal. Maria is an incredible host and always there for her guests. The beautiful St. Nicolas beach is just a ten minutes walk from there. Wonderful Restaurants could be reached in just five minutes. Our favorite one was the Kipos Taverne, a cozy little restaurant with a well dedicate Team and an excellent chef, providing authentic greek cuisine. We have booked the accommodation including breakfast. The breakfast was a daily feast. Variations of eggs (omelette, cooked or fried) have been offered as well as fresh fruits, traditional Greek yogurt with honey and fruits, veggies from the family garden and bread with homemade marmalade. Pancakes where available too. It was just amazing.

It was my first time to visit in Karpathos and it was amazing island! I stayed the Hotel Arkasa and it is fantastic hotel.. we had the quiet our, the room it was clean every day, we had amazing view, reception and the hospitality we had was perfect.

TL;DR: We were given a different room with different amenities than what we had prepaid for without notice, the room we were given had problems (broken sink) and the location is not any different than many other, way cheaper and friendlier alternatives in the area. Booked a room over phone + viber, and paid the complete amount upfront as agreed. When we arrived, the receptionist took us to a different room, hoping that this would go unnoticed. After questioning the lack of specific amenities, only then she proceeded to inform us that the room we booked had been given to some other people who arrived earlier that day, and we were "upgraded" to a different room. There was no such notice, let alone agreement, before we arrived. We argued that we did not accept this change, at which point she tried to convince us that the room is better and worth it, and that she couldn't switch us back because the other people had just been given our booked room. On top of the lack of specific amenities, the "upgraded" room had a broken sink, and when we complained about it we were told that "thanks for telling us, we couldn't know, we don't live there". Not sure if she was just being naive or claimed to not inspect their own rooms to ensure a level of quality. In the end they refunded us, being very unprofessional and sarcastic in the process. Fortunately, we managed to find a place with similar level of amenities, with better location and with a price 5 times lower, within the next 15 minutes, for the same day.

Amazing place. Beautiful view :-) Close to the center. If you come to rest then it's the place to be.The family is really friendly and easy going. You can ask them anything. Rooms are clean, swimmingpool is amazing, hot tub next to the pool. You can use it till late. There is really nothing to complain about. We had such a great time. Thank you :-)
