Caravel Suites - Adults Only

Carvel is just one of those hotels that makes you smile day after day. The staff, the facilities, the animation, the entertainment, the grounds, the food (exceptional) bar service( Branded drinks, all freshly made cocktails, over 20 to choose from) and added bonus of no kids. Like everyone before you come you look at reviews, but genuinely now have been there for 14 days, I can’t understand some people reviews, I suppose they just like to moan. Anyway here is a breakdown of the hotel. Bar Let’s start with bar service, managed by Angelo. See the cocktail list 25 all freshly made cocktails that all taste amazing. I understand that I went in October so not as many in hotel, but I never waited anymore than 5 minutes from a drink. If you get a chance go to the cocktail making day, such great fun. Big shout to the waiters who helped with the bar, Villie, una but high respects to Eva and my Albanian king Irvine. Entertainment; Numerous different singers and an Elton John tribute act, however best for me was the silent disco. Animation This year this was completed by Phillips, Mia and Wilma, all very professional and had some great laughter with. Ps they are all from Sweden, one day they were all surprised that I wore my Sweden top. Food There is of course the main restaurant that does, breakfast, launch and Dinner. The food was exceptional, always fresh seafood, salads and show cooking of a roast every night. I am normally fussy with things like that, but woah never disappointed. Ps always room for the amazing cakes and ice cream. During the day they also have a snack bar, this was so good that I never in 15 days ate in restaurant for lunch. Gyros, burgers, pizza, loaded fries, everything amazing. Pools There is 2 an activities and leisure pool, both extremely cold, but ok when you are in. The leisure pool has got leather beds around them that you can relax on, Around the pool all the beds are bean bags and extremely comfortable. If you want a drink the bar service provides service to your bed, just shout them over, and drinks 5 mins later. Beach There is a beach that you can use, but it’s very small. Get into the sea however it’s beautiful, best way to enter is down beside the exit at coffee bar, not as much stones. Room I was allocated to the suites at room 925, my balcony looked on the pub across road from hotel(great for watching any sport, man will put any game on for you) Anyway the room for my was perfect, plain walls with wooden roof, loads of room, a few others had mentioned issue with their rooms but not in mine, shampoo and conditioner provided, hairdryer and a safe. Tv in room but not many channels worked or not in English. Saying that spent most days with mtv while getting ready. To summarise this hotel is heaven, you will not be disappointed, we spend so much time looking for places like this. Get it booked. If I can help with anyone drop me a message. Thanks Carvell.

Beautiful hotel, amazing views, amazing food and amazing staff. Only negative was the alcohol, cocktails were poor and the mixers for the drinks were flat. But the location, food and wonderful staff made up for this. Absolutely stunning views and complex. The spa was great too.

We had a lovely massage at the ageo spa from dimitra:-) The hotel is super. I would recommand it. Friendly staf, good food, nice drinks, see vue is marvellous, cool relaxing area/ terrace. Nice live music. All is very good. Only the room was a bit small.

This is our 3rd year in a row at this hotel. It's absolutely beautiful. It has a vibe of complete chill. Non of this 10am loud speaker malarkey! Total chill all day and evening. Your breakfast starts with attentive staff and a great choice of foods and fresh drinks. Lunch for us was taken in the snack bar most days. This is waiter service. Freshly cooked food to order. Evening meal back in the main restaurant. A good variety of food, salads, and desserts. The bar service was great, again, lots to chose from. The sunbed area was well kept and the beds are well spaced out. Some of the beds look a little worn, and they have replaced a lot of them with new ones. A special mention must go to the staff that serve drinks by your sunbed every day! They must be doing at least 30k a day! And always with a smile! Our room was perfectly adequate. First floor main block. I have mobility issues and I emailed ahead, politely asking if I could be allocated a room close to the main amenities. On all 3 visits this has been made possible. A partial sea view room. The room was cleaned daily and the mini bar restocked daily. As with all hotels there are people who will grumble about just about anything. And I heard a few grumbles about the star rating of this hotel. One day, there was a storm and pretty heavy rain. Most guests were in the bar area. The staff provided lots of unopened/new board games, they kept the main restaurant open longer (for lunch) and then a 2 piece band arrived to provide live music. This is just one example as to why this is most definitely a 5* hotel. They go the extra mile to look after their guests. I've been fortunate to visit many beautiful places and this hotel is definitely up there with the best. The manager, George, is always walking around the hotel. Talking to guests and listening to what they have to say. Some of the staff have been at that hotel for season after season, that speaks volumes. Would I go back for a fourth year? I would probably go, but, I would keep it to 7 nights instead of 10 or 11. The increase in tourist tax from €10 to €15 per night, has left a sting in the tail. This is no way the fault of the hotel, but the powers above them. Finally, a huge thank you to all the staff, from maintenance, cleaning, bar, entertainment, the chefs, keep up the amazing work.

Superb Cretan massage by Danielle. She asked and followed my requests for the massage strength. It was relaxing but I could feel the knots coming out of my back and neck in particular. Lovely and peaceful spa experience. Lovely smelling oils used and explanations given. Definitely recommend the experience.

The spa treatment with Daniel was very good, customized to my needs and I left feeling very relaxed, with all the knots gone 👍 The facilities were well presented and provided a relaxing atmosphere. All in all I’d recommend the treatments and the service.
