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.

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.

Everything, it was just ok. Little ants everywhere in the room. Changed rooms once, gave up killing them in the second. woke up every morning to the garbage truck. Left the hotel daily to eat outside.

Great breakfast and stunning pool

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.

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 didn't have any individual weights, not even small ones, and there was no bench at all nor weights bar. In fact for a man used to workout with independent weights, there isn't much in the gym, except a questionable all in one piece. Ladies used to do a weights workout can't do much either. For most of the 2 weeks the muesli was mixed with some chocapic. While at dinner there were generally plenty of fruit, at breakfast there were some very green bananas, oranges and kiwi, sometimes, , but rarely, melon, while the fruit salad was from a can. Therefore, it wasn't much choice for someone who eats muesli with fresh fruit in the morning. There was no way to connect the TV with the laptop or the phone to watch movies. The beach sunbeds were very heavy to move around if one wanted to ensure shade.

The location is very good, close to the city and to the windsurf bays. While to the city one can walk, for windsurf a car is needed. The room was spacious enough and clean. Dinner was good. There is also a supermarket nearby. Lunch can be served at the hotel or at the two tavernas nearby. The tavernas serve very good food. The beach toilets were always very clean, very much appreciated.

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

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

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.

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.

Room service coffee is served in takeaway cups. No handheld shower, just an overhead shower which in Greece a handheld is a standard given even in a 50€ room. No form of milk offered with coffee machine even after several requests. Beach Bar service at least 45 minutes to get a drink. Unacceprable‼️

The property does not hold a 5 star rating for service and room amenities

Stayed in August 2023

I would advise against staying at the Alimounda Mare hotel due to several concerning issues we encountered during our visit. Firstly, we had booked a premium room with a promised sea view and paid a premium price for it, but upon arrival, we were assigned a room with a disappointing tree obstructed view. These trees obstructed our view of the sea entirely, which was not what we had paid for. When I attempted to address this matter with the hotel's reception, I was directed to speak with George, the manager. However, my attempts to meet with George were met with evasive responses, as I was consistently told that he would "be here shortly" or "just left a few minutes ago." Furthermore, the hotel's amenities left much to be desired. The Wi-Fi service and internet connection were consistently weak and often non-functional. The room was not adequately cleaned, the water pressure in the shower was exceedingly low, the in-room safe was quite small, and the balcony lacked proper lighting, making it impossible to enjoy in the evenings for reading or relaxation. It is my belief that this hotel is better suited for large groups rather than individual guests. While its location is excellent, the management appears to be careless and unresponsive to guest concerns. If you are seeking a private vacation experience in Karpathos, I would recommend choosing a small boutique hotel with a well-regarded reputation for personalized management rather than opting for a larger hotel that fails to meet its guests' expectations. In summary, I believe that the Alimounda Mare hotel falls short of deserving a 5-star rating and would more appropriately be rated at 3 stars.

The swimming pool and the dining room were OK.

The Airconditioning in the dining room was non existent. It was so hot that the yoghurt was forming a thick crust on top. Was too scared to eat most of the food in fear of getting food poisoning . Very understaffed. The manager seemed to brush off our concerns. Pool had algae in it. There was no where to go with friends inside the hotel that was air conditioned to enjoy a drink. Expected us to sit outside, were it so windy and hot

The rooms were comfortable

This hotel has everything what you need for comfortable and pleasant vacation. Each day amazing service of room, perfect food, great stuff, clean beach and so closed to centre! Surely we will be back :)

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.

This year the hotel made a significant upgrade in management and service and we especially want to mention Giorgos from the dining room and Maria Gerapetriti who is the Guest Relations and Tatiana from the pool bar 👍👍👍 We want to thank the new general manager Erricos Liappis who was nice and pleasant to us and does a very good job. We liked that the pool and pool bar opened early.
