The hotel has a great location close to Koukounaries and other beaches. Despite being close to the main road, it was very calm. The hotel rooms are in different small buildings which are spread across an amazing and well kept garden. Staff was always very friendly and helpful.

For a hotel of such high standards, you would expect that beach towels are included in the price and you don’t have to pay a daily fee for renting them - seemed quite unnecessary to us.

Good buffet breakfast with delicious fruit and pastries prepared on site. We were upgraded on arrival to an amazing room with its own small pool which felt very luxurious. Good cocktail list expertly mixed and good value at Happy Hour. Abba night and Greek Barbecue nights were fun. Lots of shade and comfy sunbeams round pool area and lovely garden area with scent of oleander. Small family hotel with a friendly atmosphere. Lovely welcome with friendly staff. Walking distance to range of beaches and on the bus route to main town.

Limited dinner menu. Very quiet most evenings. On departure, our key timed out on our way back from breakfast so we needed staff to accompany us to access room. It felt somewhat draconian.

We stayed for two weeks in Mandraki village and everything was really exceptional. The hotel is very well located near the Koukounaries beach, it took us less than 10 minutes to walk there and it is not demanding at all. The restaurant in the hotel is really good, they have great variety and quality with normal prices. The breakfast was great as well, with a lot of traditional Greek foods and also classic breakfast dishes. The room was overlooking the garden and it was spacious and luxurious. Cleanliness overall is exceptional. Lastly, the staff was very welcoming and kind, we felt very welcome and will definitely try to visit again. :)

We stayed 7 nights at the end of June. Staff were excellent, and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was tasty with lots of choice. Our room was spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel grounds were immaculate with lots of beautiful flowers. We attended the bbq night with greek dancing and it was great entertainment. Pool area was spotless. Definitely recommend a visit. There were restaurants on the door step and a bus stop 3 mins walk away. The local bus came every 10 minutes and cost 3 euros each. Koukanaries beach is across the road and numerous other beaches within walking distance through pine woods.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel, especially thanks to the extraordinary staff, who went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. Their friendliness and helpful attitude really stood out. The location is excellent – just a short walk to a beach with the finest, softest sand, making it perfect for families with children. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained, with lush greenery, flowers, and trees creating a very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Naturally, this also means you’ll encounter quite a few insects and even some large spiders, so it’s good to be prepared for that. The breakfast was good, with fresh and tasty options, although it lacked variety as the same items were served every day. A bit more rotation would have made it even better. The rooms were very clean, but the high humidity gave them a strong, distinctive smell that persisted throughout our stay. Even though the air conditioning units worked perfectly, they weren’t enough to eliminate the odor completely. We spent a lot of quality time outdoors – whether on the lawn, at the playground, or relaxing on the lovely terrace of the complex. It’s truly an ideal place for families with kids to enjoy some peaceful, quality time together.

Lovely property, good location for the great beaches & bus stop outside, 20 mins into skiathos town. It could be so much nicer with a lick of paint & some tlc, the pool was off putting with yellow mould around the edge where the water met the tiles, could easily cleaned on a daily basis. Staff were all great, breakfast was fab & all day pizzas were perfect, thank you, we had a lovely stay xx

It was tired and needed updating & the pool had yellow mould all around it where the water met the tiles, very off putting to swim in it

Lovely garden setting, excellent food and helpful staff. Just a short walk from Koukounaries Beach which, though busy, was well managed with shady places to sit under the pine trees. Also a convenient location for the less busy Mandraki Beach (last photo) on the northern side of the island - a pleasant 30 minute walk on a sandy path through a protected pine forest. For someone interested in birds, a highlight was watching at least 6 Eleonora's Falcon circling above the garden one evening while enjoying a buffet supper. Also at least two Scops Owl, calling to each other after dark.

Skiathos is awesome, small, very lush, with plenty of excellent beaches, very friendly locals and impressive cuisine (sometimes unfortunately toned down a bit to meet the taste of the tourists; look for places a bit off the main throughfares). The only issue is that it gets very crowded and there are a lot of obnoxious and loud British, who seem to think that they own the place. Visiting the Monastery of Evangelistria is a must (the aforementioned British are excused from this). Local honey and wine are exquisite (for the latter, refer to the wine list in the restaurant). The hotel is very close to Koukounaries Beach (5 mins walk, downhill - uphill on the way back...), which is beautiful, but quite noisy and crowded, especially in the early afternoon, when the water taxis bring in hordes of tourists from the city. Banana Beach is supposed to be very nice, but has all but been taken over by the nearby luxury hotel, could not find a way there. Best bet is to rent a car and visit the genuinely awesome secluded beaches on the western/northern shore, accessible via a dirt road (watch out for people, who do have a quad, but not common sense). Note that there are only a few understocked and overpriced shops and small choice of restaurants in the area. For shopping groceries, rent a car and head to one of the Sklavenitis shops (biggest one is next to the airport). The hotel itself comprises of several small buildings scattered around in a beautifully kept garden, rooms are nice and spacious. The swimming pool is quite small, but there is no reason why anyone would spend any time there with all the awesome beaches around. The staff are very professional, helpful and kind. As regards breakfast: this is one of the rare cases when "excellent" is right on point.

In terms of the island: the British. As regards the hotel: the bathroom is a bit weird: there is an anteroom that contains a sink, as well as coat hangers and a few shelves to store your stuff and a walk-in shower. It looks very nice, but a less flashy, but more practical arrangement would have been better.

Great restaurant and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. They were very easy going, remembered our names and usual morning coffee order. We also rented a car from the hotel partners and the process was easy.

The transfer from the airport is too expensive compared to taxis.

Absolutely everything spotlessly clean inside and out the grounds were amazing very spacious. The staff were amazing always happy super efficient but a chilled vibe( as the young ones say) The location suited us just handy for everything and a short bus ride into the hustle of the main town. Breakfast was probably one of the best selection I have ever seen always plentiful and always restocked Keep on doing what you are doing your on a winner

Only one slight grumble please use larger cups(mugs) especially at breakfast time. Or maybe take your own
