Skiathos Princess Resort

We visited for 2 nights in early October, booked fairly last minute through Jet2. We were upgraded to a sea view room which was great! The weather wasn't that warm so we didn't get much use of the pool (which was freezing cold). The recent storm had brought in jellyfish to the beach too, although the sea was warmer than the pool. Our room was really nice and the bed was comfy. Good transport links, right near a bus stop to take you to town. The breakfast food was pretty good, with a selection of local foods too. Although everything could be hotter, some things were stone cold.

It’s a really nice resort the amenities are immaculate. They have a lot of wellness classes, such as yoga, Pilates. The gyms was amazing and the instructors were very attentive. The food was good. The pool and service overall are lovely me and my family had fun. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful grounds, pool and beach, excellent staff, great location

I had booked 5 nights in September 2025 at the Princess Hotel but had to leave after the first night, shocked at the state of the rooms.

The room I was given was extremely unhygienic. As someone with a mold allergy, I could feel the mold the moment I walked in. The bathroom in particular had a strong mould stench that gave me a severe headache and brain fog for the entire next day. When I raised this with staff, they came to inspect the room. Although they admitted they could smell something, they insisted there was “no mold.” Although I could not visibly see any mould, I could feel its effects strongly, so I believe it may have been painted over. They then offered to move me to another room, but that room had been heavily cleaned to mask the odor, and the chemical smell was so overpowering I couldn’t stay there either.

Meanwhile the people I was travelling with had a Signature Room on the top floor, which was newly renovated and completely fine. I requested one of these rooms, but they were fully booked.

Despite the health risks associated with mould exposure, the hotel offered no compensation. They said that if I provided medical proof of my allergy to their reservations team they “might” consider doing something, but gave no guarantee. I sent a letter from my General Practitioner doctor but I received no reply. I lost thousands of dollars. Most places in the world have hotel health standards, The Princess Hotel non renovated rooms are a health hazard.

In the end, I had to find and pay for another hotel. It was so stressful and ruined my holiday. I ended up finding a little hotel exactly opposite and the staff were so kind and understanding. They mentioned that they have heard of other guests complaining about mold. Given how unsafe and unhygienic the standard rooms are, I would not recommend staying at this hotel unless you book a Signature Room. The older rooms should be completely renovated, as they smell badly, feel damp, and are not fit for guests. It was terrible that they did not offer me any compensation for an illegal room in most countries.

Second time we have stayed at the Princess and it never fails to deliver, friendly and professional staff, excellent rooms, beach beds are extremely comfortable.
The local restaurants offer an extensive selection of local cuisine and wines, all of which were really good, loved the cocktails in both Green Park and La Plantinas and special shout out to Jimmys

Had a fantastic 11 days. Stayed half board. Food was fantastic but too repetitive for 11 days. I would suggest staying b & b as there were plenty of restaurants close or in town a 2 euro bus ride away. Plenty of comfortable loungers on the beach or by the pool. Fully recommended..

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely hotel, our room was clean and the location was perfect for accessing the town and local restaurants. The pool and beach area were great, and we easily found sun beds even in September. The food was very good, especially the breakfast with its wide selection. The staff were all friendly and helpful, with a special mention to Christa at the pool bar for her constant smile and willingness to chat. The bed was a bit firm for my liking, and the room could have used a couple more electricity sockets, but these were minor issues and we've already booked our return for next year.

This hotel offers everything you could ever want out of a holiday ! Firstly The location is amazing !! The cast of mamma Mia stayed here whilst filming so that should tell you everything!
The bus route starts at zero (which is the main Skiathos town) and runs all the way up to 24 which is the end of the island, the buses are superb and run every 15 minutes. The princess is situated at bus stop 16 and has numerous superb Tavernas and bars if you go b&b at the Princess and don’t fancy going into town. The hotel itself is warm, welcoming, clean and has the most fabulous Buffett breakfast. The pool area is spot on with mattress type sunbeds!!! The pool is just 50 steps away from the most beautiful beach which again offers the same sunbeds free of charge to hotel residents along with a beautiful bar and restaurant. The rooms are spacious and modern. All in all you will not be disappointed!!

Hotel and staff were excellent. Beach was the best we found on Island.

Location was good as buses regular to town but road was v busy and limited walks available direct from hotel.

At best 3* plus it really needs updating ,step over bath to a shower which is tight when you close the glass screen. The curtains and drapes need a good wash they were bad.
Breakfast was plentiful but hot food was cold, one toast machine which was pathetic.
There are some good points for one the beach beds are great as is the pool area but there is something lacking about this hotel,and don't forget the room tax for 14 nights we paid 210 euros as soon as you check in !! Ouch based on its 5star status won't be back till its had a full revamp which will probably never happen, such a shame....

Another lovely two week stay at The Skiathos Princess. As ever the location, but more importantly, the staff make this place so special. The reception staff give a cheery greeting and an efficient checkin. At breakfast we were greeted warmly by Katie, and of particular note Elpida was always charming, efficient and attentive both at breakfast and later at the Ammos beach restaurant for lunch ; her beautiful smile and presence was a daily joy. She lit up each day for us and she is a real asset to the hotel. Thank you. We are already looking forward to our return next year!

Spent a week there in September. Difficult to fault. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, good breakfast, good pool with enough sun loungers, set on a lovely beach that gets sun to the end of the day, food in restaurant good but limited choice, well located for other restaurants and on bus route in to Skiathos town. Would definitely recommend.

My wife and I got married here in early September and the staff were simply incredible. It’s an outstanding resort with lovely clean comfortable rooms, the scenery is amazing and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. A memorable and magical trip in a hotel I can’t possibly recommend highly enough!

Stayed here from the 3 -10 September and had an amazing time. Hotel is beautiful and our room, 364 was very nicely decorated and huge, with a big balcony and lovely sea view.
The king size bed was extremely comfortable. There is tea and coffee making in the room and a fridge to keep your water cold. You are only given 1 bottle of water each on check in, you then have to buy your own. There is a supermarket across the road where you can purchase 6 litre bottles for 3€, bargain!
We stayed on a B&B basis and the breakfast was absolutely amazing with a huge selection, so much choice.
There are plenty of sunbeds around the pool and on the beach and the are free for guests to use. We did notice non hotel guests trying to use the beach sunbeds, but they we're moved on, so as the sign says 'for hotel guests only'. The beach was beautiful and so clean with clear water, perfect!
There are plenty of restaurants near by so plenty of choice to dine at night if you don't want to use the hotel restaurant.
There is a bus stop right out side so getting around is very easy and cheap. Bus stop 16, 2€ into town, and again 2€ back.
I would highly recommend this hotel purely for the fact you are right on a beautiful beach and don't have to pay extra for sunbed use.

Stunning hotel with wonderful staff who treat each hotel guest with kindness and respect... Nothing seemed too much trouble ...
Rooms were clean, fresh towels daily...always sun beds available and very luxurious sun beds too...
Only ate there one evening but food was very nice..
Bus stop outside the hotel...€2 to skiathos town... So easy to use.
Bars across from the hotel were very good too, especially Vesuvius... fabulous meals.
Would definitely go back... Just beautiful.

We have just returned from The Princess Resort and had a wonderful time.
It’s worth noting that this hotel is sometimes listed as 5 star and sometimes 4 star depending on who you book with.
My opinion is that it’s a very good 4 star overall, however the beach with free sunbeds, beach bar/restaurant and our room were definitely up there with many 5 star hotels.

Plus points -
lovely large modern bedroom with huge walk in shower
Great golden sand beach with crystal clear sea
Excellent food and choice of drinks in the stylish beach bar/ restaurant
Free comfy sunbeds - many can be quite expensive around the island
Good choice of hot & cold buffet breakfast
Friendly and helpful staff
Good location with nearby tavernas and easy regular bus service to Skiathos town

Improvement - Not much in the way of hotel entertainment so can be very quiet in the evening
Gym - very small gym with limited equipment

All in all, I’d be very happy to go back to this hotel.

Very nice hotel! We stayed seven nights and had a great time. Our room was always clean and tidy, we had a great view of the sea from our balcony. The breakfast was okay.The staff was very nice and helpful. We also tried some dishes from Amos, very tasty! The hotel was near the bus stop which was very convenient for us. There were a lot of restaurants nearby and a small supermarket just across the road. I highly recommend this hotel especially on September when less packed and peaceful. I will definitely come back next year with my friend and kids.

Lovely hotel the room was very clean and had a great atmosphere, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We will 100% come back

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!

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!
