Skiathos Princess Resort

We stayed here as a family of four towards theend of the summer holidays in August . All in all we had a good stay here however we felt that this hotel is a 4* at best The rooms are OK but dated, as previous reviews have already said, there is a distinct lack of power sockets only 1x useable socket it our room for 4x people! We had to unplug lamps and the TV to charge phones/ipads and fans. The aircon was adequate but sketchy . Hot water also seemed to be hit and miss. The breakfast buffet was not too bad, plenty of choice but had far better in other 5* hotels. Coffee seemed to be a bit of a problem- it was almost a daily effort to get some, filter coffee is served to you at your table but getting the waitress to come over was very difficult . Cappuccino and latte etc had to be ordered and would be brought to you but sometimes it could be 15/20 mins before it came The beach and pool areas are lovely and the beds are excellent - the beachfront location of the hotel really is its biggest asset. The beach bar/ restaurant ammos is excellent, we ate here a few times and the food was very good There are some lovely restaurants within walking distance of the hotel which we ate ate quite a few, The View, Mistrali, Pork &Roll, Vesuvio, Infinity Blue all very good. We had an evening out at The Crazy Rooster which was a fantastic night!

Wonderful location right on the beach. A small resort with calm vibe. Nicely upgraded hotel and rooms. Very good breakfast.

The half board is in the beach bar/restaurant. It is a wonderdul setting with good menu but having both lunch and dinner might be a bit repetitive. Luckily they offer option of trading dinner for lunch so one can go out for dinner for a change of scenery. Staff was very young , they were super kind and tried their best but could do with better English and experience.

Ristorante ottimo e di qualità. Buona la colazione.

La sala delle colazioni appare buia e poco confortevole. Sarebbe opportuno dotare la spiaggia di un punto doccia e di una cabina per cambiarsi

The staff are exceptional, a credit to the hotel. We were half board. Sea view room ok but lack of plug points an issue. TV partially covers a mirror despite there being enough room for the mirror further along wall. Kettle has to be put on floor to boil. Hot water in shower hit and miss. Sun loungers amazing but get up at 8am to reserve. Thankfully UK kids all went home midweek so not noisy for second half off holiday. Hot food at breakfast always luke warm. Food in Ammos restaurant absolutely stunning!

Staff very friendly Rooms clean but as per previous posts a little dated. Our bathroom had been refurbished which was a positive Breakfast had decent choices and again service was very good Beach is excellent and pool area was fine as quite a lot of adults/children disappeared on 1st and 2nd Sept Only negative for us was people (all nationalities) putting towels on the beds on the beach and then not pitching up for 3 or 4 hours….many places do not allow this and remove items after a period of time. Not sure if the hotel reads the reviews as seen no feedback on comments

I can’t understand the occasional bad review on here, my daughter and I have just come home from the most wonderful week here. Our room was beautiful, white furniture with Greek turquoise soft furnishings and very comfortable. Everything worked well in the bathroom. Only thing that could have improved it would be a socket by the bed to charge my mobile phone. Balcony has a lovely view. Breakfast was delicious - we had pancakes with Greek yoghurt and fruit everyday but there was a huge choice. We asked for mosquito plug in as one review had mentioned mozzies but we used the mosquito screens and had no problems at all although I am usually the first to be bitten. The hotel beach was divine with complementary sunloungers, shade and towels. It was so beautiful and relaxing and the sea was warm and clear and wonderful to swim in. We ate in the beach bar every evening and this was the highlight of our stay. The waiters, particularly tall Dmitri (all the Dmitris were lovely though) and Katie were so attentive. My daughter has a severe sesame allergy which is difficult to cater for, but we felt like we were in very safe hands. All the waiters were aware and the chef cooked a special dessert for her. I would also like to give a shout out to the musicians in the bar - the singer’s voice was like honey and she was well accompanied by a saxophonist as they worked their way through the great American songbook. Big thanks also to the porters and the staff on reception including another very patient Dmitri. The hotel is well placed next to a bus stop (15 mins to centre of Skiathos), a mini-supermarket and some nice looking bars and restaurants (we didn’t use them as we were so happy at the beach bar). Everything was perfect but I think it was the team working there that really made it special. I hope I will return there for a relaxing break next year.

We are a couple in our mid 50's. we stayed 10 nights in August. I had done my homework so I knew this hotel gets mixed reviews due to the out dated rooms. We booked a seaview room and paid quite a bit extra for this. Upon arrival the staff were very friendly, great welcome. Our room was in the main building. It was not very welcoming, dark furniture, purple and blue terrible curtains. The only plug sockets were the ones used by lights and tv quite annoying. Air con not great but functional. I was happy with the bathroom and nice toiletries. Seaview was a dissapoitment, we could mainly see a restaurant roof top. I felt a bit upset tbh. Anyway on the positives this hotel is on a beautiful sandy beach. The sunbeds are so luxurious . The beach bar was just amazing, food drinks , beach snacks, open until 11 pm beautiful contempory seating areas, light background music, just wonderfull. Pool area was noisy full of toddlers and dirty grouting. Nice pool bar and restaurant. Breakfast was a buffet. The best omelette station pancakes station, cakes, pastries, great big fruit selection, greek yoghurt bar was delisious, breads continental etc. The bacon eggs were not good, but there was so much else, you need to experiment. Location is great. Bus stop 16. Loads of tavernas nearby. Supermarket, cocktail bar, flat walk to bus stop. I like that its in the middle, you can explore. Hotel does need to update to modern times. The ground floor rooms looked great for families as they have a garden with swing chair although the grass was shabby, a patio would be lovely. The staff need a big up, they all do a great job. I liked this hotel, I didnt love my room, and beware if your a couple there are lot of toddlers all of the same crying age. Nothing against children, but they were everywhere. So to finish, this beach and location is the best, and you get free sunbeds compared to 30/40 Euros elsewhere. Great staff and the beach bar makes this hotel 5 stars. I have worked as a travel agent for 20 years and know my stuff 🤣
