| said: on arrival was greeted by **** (name removed), who was friendly at first!!! was friendly to the children too, but after a few days it seemed like they were getting on his nerves. the pool was a bit "milky" looking, this might be due to the fact that he turns the pump and filter off if no-one is in the pool, so any insects that land in are there all day. his beer prices are probably the most expensive on the island costing 3 euro 70 for a pint of mithos. it is on a very bust road, which does'nt get any quiter the later it gets, and the traffic is very scary if you have small children. the supermarkets and tavernas are very few and far between, the so-called bus service is o.k if you want to get squashed up against the windscreen!!! skiathos itself is a very lovely island but would'nt stay there again not if you paid me!!!!

| said: Our apartment itself was large enough, clean with a reasonably equipped kitchen, however the beds were the most uncomfortable we have ever slept on and they made such a noise even if you so much as coughed !! (I thought at one point I might give the floor a try!Maid service was every day, although it was a bit of a nuisance when they knocked during early afternoon to do their stuff when we were trying to get little ones off for a siesta. The pool area was OK although towards the end of our second week it was looking a bit cloudy. Watch out for flying umbrellas too as the wind can get up a bit! There is quite a bit of road noise, so take your i-pod!

| said: We arrived to be greeted by Alex (the owner) & were very pleased with our 2 bedroom apartment & sea view.
The apartments were very clean & we had maid service every day except one which was good.
The only drawback was the lack of food, Alex's poolbar did serve Toasties but we did try these.
There were restaurants within walking distance both sides of the apartments & we found Skiathos extremely easy to travel around either by bus or taxi's which could be hailed on the main road outside.
We had a wonderful week in Skiathos & will return one day.

| said: On arrival at the hotel we were greated by the owner Alex, who was helpful and joyful.
The accomodation was clean and we were surprised by how large the studio was for 3. There was everything we neede to cook and the fridge was shelves with a seperate freezer compartment.
Both Alex (the owner) and Hayley, were more than helpful. Nothing was to much trouble and their openness and humour made the holiday for us.
We would go back to this hotel again and again as by the end of our week it really felt like home.

| said: We arrived in Skiathos and it was really nice day.
We travelled to our hotel, which is 10 min away from the airport, by coach.
On arrival we met Alex the owner. He greeted us with the smile and from the first day he took really good care of us, showing us the sites and taking us to the local taverns.
Our room was a good size, with the beautifull view over Kolios beach.
The cleaners came round every day making sure we had clean towels and bed linen. Because we went at the end of the season was only the hotel bar was keeping us entertained with Alex's specific sence of humour and broken English... ;)
We will definitely go back but this time it is going to be in June.

| said: This self-catering accommodation has several problems which need to be addressed before someone, particularly a child has a serious accident.
The swimming pool was extremely cold and filthy. The inner sides of the pool constantly had slime plastered to it and it was extremely difficult to see the bottom of the pool.
The filter was below an open hole approximately 30cm square and any one could have walked straight into it.
The plastic grid which was 4 times the size of the filter was cracked and wouldn't take a child's weight had they stepped on it.

| said: If you're after a nice relaxing break in a quiet area, this place is fantastic. It's small and friendly with a pool (although this was only cleaned once whilst we were there), a pool shack and bar shack run by Alex.
The room was clean (new bedding and towels every day) with a nicely sized balcony. The kitchen was not really adequate for self catering purposes but there are plenty of restaurants and beach taverns just minutes away, and who wants to cook on holiday!?
The island is small with a good bus service so if you want something a bit more vibrant for a night out that's no problem. There are also loads of beaches in walking distance.
It was really nice to just chill out there, apart from the mozzies (but it did rain so that couldn't have helped).

| said: The first big gripe we had was that NO-ONE at any time, mentioned mosquitos. We got bitten so badly we had to go to the Medical Centre - my wife had 149 bites - I actually counted them!
The second gripe is the changing facilities and shower room that was offered for the final day. These consisted of a tiny room with basin and a 'shower attachment' that fitted over the taps. That was it. We got wetter from the water on the floor than from the so-called 'shower'. It's not really good enough.
