The property boasts a well-maintained pool area with ample sun loungers and a small pool bar. The staff offers a warm welcome and attentive service. Rooms include various amenities for a comfortable stay.

POSITIVES The location of the hotel is great. The views are amazing. The rooms are clean and overlook the pool. They are cleaned daily. There is a fridge in the room and air con which is free. The safe has a refundable deposit payable of €50. Beach towels are available to hire at €20 per 2 for the week and changed every 2days. Seville on reception was very helpful, very knowledgeable and efficient. NEGATIVES Not a 4 star hotel. Food is ok. But it’s all prepared and waiting as you arrive in the restaurant. It’s noticeably warm, definitely not hot. If you are a meat eater you will be ok. As a vegetarian it wasn’t great. One day my choice was mashed potato, chips/ aubergine. The restaurant is open from 8am to 10:30 for breakfast. Dinner is not served until 8pm to 10pm. This is very late and not suitable for anyone to eat that late. The desserts were non existent, you might be lucky to have ice cream every other day! The food (that you pay for) at lunch time is of course better! The pizza we had on our first day was great and thankfully we shared as we couldn’t have eaten a whole one each. Drinks are pricier than in town. There is a notice in the hall asking that you don’t take anything into the hotel they hasn’t been purchased there! No-one takes any notice of that. In each room there is a notice saying that if there is damage there are penalties to pay. This is not a hood thing to have in the room! It’s a very negative thing. They will ask for your credit card details when you arrive! They advertise a private beach. This is nit worth the effort. It’s full if broken sun beds and a bin full if rubbish ( that visitors are asked to take back to the hotel) but don’t. Other useful info There is a free shuttle bus at 10:30am / 4:05pm and 7.05pm to the town. Book your spaces each day on reception. Return from town at 4:00pm and 7:00pm So, if you want to eat out you will need to get a taxi back for €10. Buses to get to beaches are very easy. They pretty much go from town every 15 minutes. It’s €3 per person to Koukounaries beach from Skiathos town. You could get a water taxi at €6 each. Each bus stop is numbered starting at 0 for Skiathos port to 26 Koukounaries. You can walk from the hotel to town in around 35 to 40 minutes. While there are negatives we would stay here again because of the location, pool area, cleanliness. But you have to basically throw away the fact that you wouldn’t eat an evening meal. They would be better off offering B&B only.

Hotel chose because of its location, away from the town, amazing views across skiathos bay but unfortunately the peace and quiet was spoiled by the bar’s music playing over the pool area. We couldn’t understand why the beautiful quiet scenery of Skiathos bay was ruined with unnecessary pop music. It wasn’t even Greek ! If we wanted pop music we would have stayed in Skiathos town. Please Xenia stop this music spoiling your hotel.
