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.

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.

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

Everything was amazing and would love to go back. Thanks to all the staff. We extended our stay but had to swap rooms on our last night, our second room was even nicer. Amazing food on Greek night too.

Mandraki was an amazing hotel! I emailed the hotel prior to arriving, and the staff was prompt in responding and were very helpful. From the moment I arrived, everything was wonderful. It’s a beautiful property, my room was so comfortable and quiet. The restaurant has excellent food. Koukounaries beach is minutes away. The bus stop is very close to walk to which you can take into town easily and get to airport.

Everything was excellent.

Amazing attentive staff, breakfast

I am extremely impressed with the overall service at the hotel. Absolutely everything is as it should be. Friendly and responsive staff, great kitchen, comfortable room, wonderful breakfast. I felt at home and would love to come back again. Thanks for everything!

Room was lovely, we were upgraded to a family suite which was enormous. Really clean with good showers and comfortable bed. Air conditioning was excellent. Although we didn’t use the beach it was just a 5/10 min walk. Breakfast was a good quality, plenty of choice. The bus stop is very close to hotel and they run every 10 mins into Skiathos town for a couple of euros.

The hotel is close to the road.

Buffet breakfast with good selection but hot food could be improved e.g. add some variety like mushrooms and beans as same range provided every day. Lovely beach within 10 mins walk though can get very busy and local tavernas and a bar.

We were in a villa separate from the hotel so not a problem but constant music playing is not always relaxing for people.

Breakfast was exceptional. Kids loved the pizzas. Pool was lovely, plenty of deck chairs, room was huge and very comfortable and was left spotless by the lovely cleaner, loved the very modern showers and our little balcony staff was friendly location was fantastic near the beach and mini market Garden was beautiful it was very quiet Greek night was fun

Husband hate the rock night and wanted more Greek culture in the entertainment. quality of the food could be improved. It was OK but not exceptional.
