Gyalia

This hotel is very special and I felt like a valued guest. I booked a sea view room which which did not disappoint in terms of view, nor space and practicality. It is rare to find a room that has plentiful storage and hanging space for your holiday needs. I particularly loved the views from the infinity pool terrace and the plentiful breakfast with the special view of the harbour each morning. The staff are all professional and engaging, I experienced a small problem with my room late in the evening which was fixed without fuss. I would love to come back.

Wardrobe had a light in which kept clicking all night keeping us awake. People outside the hotel used the pool and beach seats making it difficult to get a seat. We did not get to go around the pool. Food choice was very poor if you are a vegetarian. Had the poorest food ever in Skiathos around the pool bar - tasteless chicken and cod bites. When reported to the restaurant about the limited choice we were told that is all they’ve got - no attempt to address it or improve. In the end we ate outside despite having paid for half board. Not at all what I’d expect for a 5 star hotel.
