10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely first night here and it was a great start to our holiday. Our room was clean, comfortable and overlooked the swimming pool, with direct access straight out onto the pool area. The pool had lovely sun loungers and a beautiful sea view and the beach was only a short walk away. Breakfast was excellent, with a great choice of food and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel was also very conveniently located, around a 15-minute walk from Skiathos Town or just a few minutes by bus. The only slight downside was the shower, as water tended to spread across the bathroom floor when it was being used. This was only a minor issue though and overall we had a very comfortable stay and a lovely, welcoming start to our holiday."
