Cavo Marelia

“Right from the get-go, the welcome was awesome—check-in, paying the tourist tax, and our welcome drinks were super quick and smooth. We loved that the staff jumped right in to help carry our bags up to the room. Plus, there’s a gorgeous orange cat who basically "runs" the reception area. He was sleeping in a different cozy spot every day and totally made our mornings. 🐱 The room completely wowed us with its modern vibe, and the cleanliness is an absolute 10 out of 10. The icing on the cake was the lovely side sea view and the location—just a quick 5-minute stroll to the beach. And oh, the sea view right from the pool? Absolutely stunning! 🌊🏊‍♂️ Breakfast was seriously good. The dining room looks out at the sea and is super clean, bright, and airy. The staff there is incredibly professional—everything was always fully stocked and they never ran out of anything. There’s a huge, delicious spread every morning: tons of pastries, yogurts, fresh fruit, spreads, sausages, cheeses, and great egg dishes. 🍳🥐 The entire hotel crew is so hard-working, professional, smiling, and genuinely friendly. A huge, warm shoutout to our lovely housekeeper Betty from Uganda! Her kindness, along with the rest of the amazing team, will easily be one of our favorite memories from this beautiful hotel and island. Highly, highly recommend! ✨”

“Great place! Just by one of the most beautiful beaches in the island, imho. Room was large enough and comfortable. Pool bar and services in general also excellent. Friendly reception! If there was a bit more variety at breakfast (we spend 7 days, all days same offerings) and more parking spaces, I doubt there would be a better deal in the area!”

“200% recommended. Having a late afternoon flight - the hotel manager agreed to spare a room for us for the day in a very very decent price. The room is spotless, the hotel is amazing - from the vies, the pool, the almost private beach, to the team's service - everything was amazing. I wish we had stayed here for our whole vacation.”

“The food is excellent with plenty of variety and great taste. The staff are very kind and always make you feel welcome. The pool area is beautiful, with an amazing view towards the sea that makes it perfect for relaxing. Overall, it’s a great place to stay and definitely worth visiting. Plus, there are plenty of kind cats around the hotel that you can pet, which makes the atmosphere even nicer.”

“An absolute gem in paradise! We had an amazing stay at this hotel — it’s truly a hidden gem in Karpathos! The hotel has been recently renovated, and you can really tell they worked with a talented designer: all the spaces are beautifully decorated, modern, and thoughtfully arranged. Our room was stunning — spotless clean, tastefully furnished, and equipped with everything you’d want for a beach holiday, including a smart TV. The location is unbeatable. It’s just a 2-minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Within a 10-minute walk, you’ll find plenty of great restaurants, a bar with live rock music on the weekends, and a lovely promenade right next to the hotel. The staff were exceptional — incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with any request. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh, with a big variety of choices, and absolutely delicious. There’s truly something for everyone! The pool area is spotless and well maintained, with a convenient poolside bar where you can enjoy drinks or lunch at very reasonable prices. A few tips: ✅ Bring snorkeling gear — the sea is full of beautiful fish and worth exploring. ✅ Swimming shoes are highly recommended because of the sharp rocks. ✅ You can borrow beach towels from the hotel for a €10 deposit, which saves space in your luggage. In short, this hotel is an absolute must! We will definitely be coming back — highly recommended!”
