Mr. Apostolides and his staff were unbelievably welcoming and helpful. I made a mistake with the booking and despite him having no obligation to honor my wrong booking he went out of his way to help me. Unparalleled hospitality in a beautiful setting.

Although it was requested in writing that 2 separate beds would be needed (travelling with my son 24 years of age) they ignored the request. They changed the room .It took them 1 hour. the first room was OK. The 2nd one was small with 30 steps to climb.Having a back pain health problem it was difficult for my 2 day stay. otherwise a nice family hotel.

How can this hotel have a 5 star rating! The food was terrible, the reception staff unfriendly and not very helpful. Although the Restaurant staff were lovely. All the pictures on the website very misleading and clearly all shot with a very wide angle lens. The bungalows with private pools were ok.

The check-in processes was disappointing. We arrived before the 2pm checking time and received attitude for doing so. We finally were offered to leave our bags and promised they would be taken to our room as soon as it was ready. We arrived back at the hotel at 8pm only to find our bags at the from door where we had left them.

Lovely hotel just outside the town
Located just outside the hubbub of Skopelos Town with lovely staff that do all they can to look after guests. Shuttle bus/taxi/walk to the restaurants and port make it easy to enjoy the town. Pools are clean. Cleaners are conscientious. Special mention - Maria at Reception is adept at getting things sorted. Food: Greek with local ingredients/vegetarian options/kids menu/room service menu covers the usual things such as pasta/pizza/club sandwiches. An effort is made for variety in the buffet breakfasts and dinners. See picture for inside of the lovely little church in the grounds. Can heartily recommend this hotel.

Not a 5 star but ok
Staff were friendly and welcoming. Free pickup from port and free shuttle several times a day into town was great. Room was ok, view was as described ie partial sea view (although better than expected). Sun beds were plentiful and comfy with clean towels provided. Only downside was the state of the pool which looked like it needed a good clean and was a little murky. Bit of a walk into town (shuttle stopped at 7pm) as roads were dark and no footpaths. Take a torch! Took around 15 mins but uphill on way back. Garden areas around hotel grounds felt neglected and in need of attention. Breakfast was included and was ok Advertised as 5 star but more like 3.5 taking above into account. Clean pool and tidy the gardens and the long driveway and it would be more like a 5 star. Requires attention to details and some TLC - that makes all the difference.

Nice enough hotel, but not 5 star!
When we booked the hotel we specifically requested a quiet room NOT overlooking the pool. We were allocated one of four rooms directly overlooking the pool, so they clearly paid no attention to our request. The air con was inefficient, we asked for it to be checked, it wasn't, so after two sleepless nights we spoke with the manager who was lovely, we had an upgrade for one night but then moved to a smaller, basic room but with effective air con. Our towels weren't replaced one day and the room not cleaned at all on another. Shambolic. Three rooms during a seven night stay which was supposed to be a relaxing holiday was anything but. I used the spa and had a massage but I felt as though I was a massive inconvenience to the therapist, she was not very friendly just ploughed straight into it, no questions about health etc.

Dear Mr. Anon, We would like to thank you for choosing our hotel for your holidays. We also thank you for your positive comments concerning the lobby decoration and the maitre of our restaurant. We are feeling deeply sorry that you didn't relax during your stay allthough the management and the staff payed a lot of attention to your needs throughout the week of your stay. We offered you three different types of rooms-one of them with free upgrade- but noone of them didn't like because you were bothered by the neighbours. We offered you a quiet table in the restaurant because you were bothered by the other guests eating there. We were suggested you to try out the therapies in our spa in order to relax but again our therapists didn't treat you so well, eventhough we receive excellent comments about them, from our guests every day. We realy hope to welcoming you again in the future!

Beautiful views of Skopelos town and the sea.
After a small misunderstanding at check in (which was quickly resolved). We found the Skopelos Holidays Hotel to be gorgeous. Location and views are stunning. Service was exceptional. Credit to the manager on duty and the staff. Properly pampered.

Nice and clean with very friendly and helpful staff. The location let it down being a 20 minute walk into town along a very busy main road with no pavement. A nice surprise in my birthday was the manageress knocking at the door singing happy birthday and presenting me with a cheesecake.

Staff was very helpful and very kind- they smile all the time! Hotel very clean and with good location. The rooms spacious and well equipped. Because of spring the lemon and mandarin trees were in blossom and their scent prevailed in the atmosphere. We loved lazing in the balcony, reading and enjoying the gardens. We also enjoyed the free bicycles. If anyone would like to stay there do not hesitate

Das Hotel macht einen ungepflegten Eindruck. Es ist zwar recht sauber, aber es sieht so aus, als würde man sich z.B. um die Außenanlagen oder auch die Einrichtung im Zimmer nicht kümmern: Die Eingangstür ließ sich nicht richtig öffnen, weil der Kleiderschrank im Weg steht, Fernseher, Spiegel und Lampe sind schief und absolut lieblos an die Wand geklatscht, die Außenanlagen verwildern. Insgesamt war unser erster Eindruck nach unserer Ankunft echt enttäuschend. Das Telefon funktioniert nicht, das heißt wegen jedem Problem mussten wir zu Fuß über die ganze Hotelanlage laufen um in der Rezeption in ratlose Gesichter zu blicken, weil z.B das WLAN nicht funktionierte, unsere Bademäntel keine Gürtel hatten, keine Hausschuhe vorhanden waren, Duschgel usw. nicht aufgefüllt wurden usw.... Ein kleines Service-Beispiel von der Rezeption: beim auschecken fragten wir danach, ob man uns (wie bei der Ankunft auch) mit dem Hotelbus zum Hafen fahren könne. An der Rezeption sagte man uns, dass der Fahrer sei beschäftigt sei und es gäbe keine kostenlosen Transfers zum Hafen. Wenige Minuten später erblickten wir den Fahrer im Hotel und fragten ihn direkt. Er fuhr uns gerne zum Hafen. Das Frühstück (immer das gleiche) ist ok, mehr aber auch nicht. Insgesamt möchten wir wieder zurück nach Skopelos kommen, denn die Insel ist ein Traum. In dieses Hotel werden wir aber nie wieder Einchecken und würden es niemandem weiterempfehlen. Preis/Leistung stimmt hier einfach gar nicht, maximal 3*!

5 star hotel, really?!
Expensive hotel that did not at all live up to the star-rating expectation (5 stars?!). We stayed for four nights and after numerous reminders they cleaned our room once during our stay. AC was noisy and the overall condition of the hotel/interior was poorly maintained. Breakfast was average. We would not book this hotel again.

Très bel hôtel,très calme car situé à 1.5 km du centre ville. Enregistrement difficile car chambre non disponible avant 15h pour 14h prévue. Un service de navette plus soutenu pour aller en ville serait souhaitable. Service au restaurant à améliorer, le personnel semblait perdu et il a fallu faire plusieurs demandes pour obtenir satisfaction. Travaux dans la chambre mitoyenne à partir de 8h du matin... Malgré la prise de la chambre après 15h, pas de possibilité de garder la chambre 1h de plus le jour du départ

Ikke 5* hotell
Oppholdet på Skopelos Holidays Hotel & Spa sto ikke til forventningene. En av grunnene kan være at vi var der i juni/juli og at det ikke er fullt hotell, men allikevel levde det virkelig ikke opp til forventningene. Service var bra, men ankepunktene er: 1) Kald varm-mat om man kommer etter 0945 om dagen, dette opplevde vi 3 av 7 dager vi var der. 2) Små rom, der vårt aircondition anlegg var plassert like over senga, ubehagelig å ha det på om natta. 3) Plassering av hotell er utenfor allfarvei og det går bare en shuttle-buss hver vei hver dag (om vi forsto det riktig) - i tillegg måtte vi purre for at de skulle hente bussen når vi skulle ned på oppsatt tidspunkt. Generelt er det hyggelig personell og vi fikk ikke prøvd spa, så det kan være bra. Med flere gjester og mer liv kan det også være hyggelig rundt poolområde med eget barnebasseng etc. Mvh, Jan

Ett upphottat medelklasshotell
Såg bra ut vid första anblick men sjönk snabbt när man såg hur rummen såg ut. Dålig finish på det mesta, kändes mer som ett snabbrenoverat 3-stjärnigt hotell. Inte prisvärt, inte genuint 5-stjärnigt. Det enda som levde upp till förväntningarna var väl i viss mån utsikten och poolområdet, även hygglig frukost. Men med tanke på hur prisbilden ser ut på ön så är det tyvärr svårt att försvara detta hotell. Känns som att man skulle kunna bo minst lika bra för halva pengen.
