10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here on our mini-moon and we are so glad we did! From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and helpful and they gave us some complimentary honeymoon extras which were much appreciated! The room was beautiful as are the grounds, the pool and the hotel in general. The drinks around the pool were fantastic and the food choices were delicious. The hotel is a couple of minutes walk from a beautiful beach and there are an abundance of fantastic restaurants and bars nearby. Our only comments would be that we were not a fan of the wet room set up in the bathroom but that’s personal preference. Breakfast choices may also begin to feel limited if you had a long stay here but everything was tasty. Honestly don’t hesitate to stay here and support this wonderful family hotel. Tip - get the bus here from the airport - it takes about 30 mins and is €3! We also got the bus into Skiathos Town one day and that was great."
