Whilst the rooms were clean (purely in the clinical sense) they were hot, stuffy and lacked any real means of ventilation except a small fan. It was impossible to get to sleep because of the heat until the early hours of the morning.
Particurlarly On the ground floor, the shower room is a sealed box which contains the shower, toilet and wash hand basin. After showering it is like a sauna with only a small inadequate fan providing ventilation. I understand from speaking to other guests that the situation is not much better on other floors.
However, that aside, the pool is fantastic, the staff are friendly, and the poolside snack bar provides a good selection of good value food.
The views are also fantastic, and you get an occassional welcome breeze from being on the hill.
If only the rooms were better.

The Karpathios Studios are situated backing onto the mountain at the back of Pefkos. They're right on the edge of the town, but far enough away to only hear occasional traffic noise (mopeds!). The driveway is very steep, but is good exercise after all the food and booze! We had a room on the top floor, so the breeze could blow right through. Some of the ground floor appartments had no rear windows at all. The apartments are quite small and can be stuffy at night and a fan can be hired for 30 Euros per week (a bit steep, like the driveway!). The pool area is lovely and the view from it is beautiful - right out over the bay. The staff were generally friendly and helpful.
The only real problem we had was a repeated lack of hot water in the early evening when every one wants to shower. This was always resolved after reporting it to the staff at the bar, but was quite irritating when we wanted to shower quickly to go out to eat. Everyone in the apartments experienced the same problem. We weren't sure if they were on a water meter or something and were trying to be 'economical'! Anyway, that's what it seemed like.
The best place we found to eat was Sophia's, which is situated on the edge of town on the Lardos road. Cracking good authentic Greek food and service from Sarandos, who really makes everyone feel welcome and special. We're going back to see him again in September (but not to the Karpathios). By the way the apartments lose the sun behind the mountain around 6.30 in June, which was a welcome relief from the heat, but I don't think it would be a good place to stay in the cooler months when the sun sets earlier in the evening.

The apartment block was very pleasant with spectacular views of the resort. The rooms were spootless and cleaned daily. The poolside bar offered an excellent selection of reasonably priced Greek food as well as the usual holiday fare. The staff were extremely friendly and helped make our holiday a special one. The evenings where entertainment was provided were great and full of fun. We plan on going back there next year. The climb up the hill is a bit of a struggle, but worth it in the end.
