Elivi Skiathos

Wow what can I say from just getting back from a week stay at Elivi other than one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at that more than exceeded our expectations. The location and views are just stunning. We stayed in the grace we were upgraded to a private pool facing the beautiful beach, the room was amazing with floor to ceiling views of the sea, it was cleaned everyday by the cleaners(who done a fantastic job). We found breakfast tasty with lots of choice coffee made fresh for you daily. All the staff were very attentive, helpful and friendly (especially on the beach bar and Italian restaurant near the grace rooms). We also found the reception staff friendly and helpful with our needs ordering us taxis into town and ensuring we were happy with our stay.Thank you for an unforgettable stay and we can’t wait to return again in the future.

We stayed at the Elivi Hotel in Skiathos for a week and had an incredible experience. The location is absolutely stunning, with four beautiful beaches—each one accessible directly from the hotel. We stayed in the Grace area, and our room had a spectacular view, overlooking the beach right in front of us. Waking up to that view every morning was truly magical. The room itself was spacious and modern, equipped with everything we needed, including a lovely shower and a Nespresso machine for our morning coffee. Housekeeping did a fantastic job keeping everything spotless each day, which added to the overall luxury of the stay. Breakfast had a vast selection to suit all tastes. Another great feature was the availability of sun loungers at every beach. They were incredibly comfortable, and we never had to worry about finding one, no matter which beach we chose for the day. The golf buggy service was convenient, taking us around the hotel whenever we needed to get from one spot to another. We also appreciated the attention to detail from the staff—when towels ran out at the beach, they quickly brought more down from reception. Overall, Elivi Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way and made for a perfect getaway.

The hotel has an excellent location, the best you can have in Skiathos - next to some of the most beautiful beaches in the island. The views from the hotel are spectacular and atmosphere is nice and relaxing. It is very well maintained and clean property. Our room was spacious, modern and comfortable. There were only a few organizational bugs. Breakfast, for example, was a complete mess. In general, there are not many good dining options in the hotel, but there are very good tavernas around. The hotel provides umbrellas and sunbeds on the nearby beaches - koukounaries, banana and xenia beach which is great. What we didn't like, however, is that the sunbeds are too close to each other, which could be very uncomfortable when the hotel is full.

Positives: Beautiful room with floor-to-ceiling windows featuring a stunning view of the sea, and a crystal clean private pool. We were “upgraded” to a “larger room” with a plunge pool (which was terrific) - for which we were grateful. Breakfast buffet was huge and wonderful. Cleaning/transport/pool/beach staff were lovely. Negatives: Long and overly-elaborate check-in process that ate up valuable time- too much “marketing” and not enough respect for guests’ precious time. Suggestion: if you need forms filled out by guests, email them in advance. We were told we would be called for our room in 90 minutes but after 2.5 hrs, we heard nothing. Surprisingly poor service from poorly trained (seemingly arrogant) reception staff- who often didn’t answer the phone and ignored/forgot multiple service requests. Lower staff (waiters, drivers, pool guys) were great. Many bees and flies in eating areas- so bad we often went offsite to eat. Long wait for mobile carts to go anywhere on property- reflecting insufficient staff. Insufficient parking for rental cars. Air conditioning was poor- broken altogether in the first room we were offered- greatly delaying our check-in. Lower staff could not solve the problem- it was only rectified after the manager granted us a functioning room over 1 hour later. No iron or ironing board in the room - it took 24 hrs to get one after we asked for it. Broken (wobbly) glass barrier on our balcony created an unsafe condition. Not a true 5-star experience.

Wow from the fantastic views from most aspects of the hotel, to the lovely caring and capable staff, to the delicious food, you cant beat this location. Three beaches within easy buggy rides, great buggy drivers to pick you up from rooms and take you down. Breakfast is superb and there is something for everyone. The rooms have everything you could need. Comfy beds great mattresses and the cleaning care team look after you and come in daily to clean the rooms. Every detail has been well thought through and we loved it. We booked two return trips whilst we were there. Thank you to the team you all worked so hard and we really did appreciate it. X
