Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers modern and luxurious rooms with beautiful terraces for enjoying the views, but some maintenance issues and smoke smell were present. The service, especially from Elena, was friendly and helpful, although the hotel manager was unhelpful in resolving room issues. The location provides breathtaking views of the beach and ocean, with only a minor inconvenience of no lift access. The dining experience offers a good variety despite the lack of daily changes. Overall, a mix of luxury and minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was delightful, with lovely rooms overlooking the beautiful Koukounaries Bay. The staff provided excellent service, especially the reception and porters, who were extremely helpful and charming. The location, while peaceful and scenic, was unfortunately lacking in soul. The dining experience was okay, although it could be improved with more variety. Overall, a memorable experience with some room for enhancement.
The hotel is wonderfully located in the Skiathos Islands, surrounded by trees and grass, making it a pleasant place to relax. The service is dedicated and professional, ensuring a trouble-free holiday experience. The dining options may benefit from an update, but the homemade cakes are a highlight. The hotel facilities are convenient and cater to various needs.
The hotel has undergone major renovations, giving it a more modern and upmarket feel. The rooms have been beautifully transformed, but cleanliness issues were evident in my stay. The staff, including Yanis the mini bus driver, were exceptionally friendly and lovely. The location is pleasant, albeit up a steep hill, and the dining options were average at best.
My stay at the hotel was lovely overall. The rooms were great with comfy beds, a huge walk-in shower, a balcony with table, chairs, and sunbeds, offering an amazing view. However, there were some issues with a broken safe and camp beds during my visit. The service was top-notch, always friendly and available. The location overlooking Koukounaries Bay was breathtaking, although the hotel sits on a hill. The dining experience was good, with a variety of food options but lacking a bit in terms of changing offerings daily. Overall, a modern hotel with sea views and excellent amenities.
Although the check-in process was a bit slow and the room was not ready immediately, the hotel's location is stunning overlooking Koukounaries. We preferred exploring outside the room due to it being pricier than older options.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On one hand, the room was comfy, clean, and quiet with fabulous views over Koukounaries Beach. However, the room service was lacking as the staff did not speak English and seemed careless. Despite this, the overall experience was pleasant with the breathtaking views.
The hotel had great views and was clean, but being on the 6th floor made me a little concerned about being overbooked. The staff were friendly and helpful, always willing to please. The location was lovely, with beautiful views of the pool and sea, and close to local beaches and tavernas. The dining experience was good, with fresh fruit, but lacked variation over the 7 days. The facilities were satisfactory overall, with no major issues.
