We had such an amazing time in skiathos ! The hotel has been recently renovated and the design is absolutely stunning ! Minimal throughout the rooms and facilities !  We dined at the restaurant many times and everything we had was delicious ! The stuff is very polite and helpful! They kept all the safety measures because of covid-19 and made us feel super safe ! Thank you for such an amazing stay !!

Excellent hotel

We experienced Greek hospitality 100%. Minutes from the city (you need a car), high on a hill with a wonderful view. We stayed in a renovated room with glass between the bathroom and the bed. The service of the staff is professional and on my next visit to Skiathos, I will stay at this hotel

Μοναδική διαμονή

We stayed in the middle of the property and by middle I mean about halfway down the stairs, so a lot of steps up to the main area and pool and a lot of steps down to the beach and bus stop. But that turned out to be a blessing because we enjoyed the breakfasts and dinners so much that walking stairs several times a day was great exercise. The room was comfortable and we were not put off by the frosted glass in the bathroom at all. Loved the deck we had and so appreciated being given a drying rack so that we could wash and dry clothes and dry our towels and suits daily. 
Skiathos Blu was close to the water taxi that takes you into Skiathos town and close to a small boat that took you to Tsourgias Island -- that was a total highlight of our stay. Loved it, Loved the things at Skiathos Blu like Greek dancing night and the live music, etc. but the main attraction and the reason why we are already talking about returning for a visit is the staff. We enjoyed everyone that we met, especially Georgina, who worked at the main desk, Rafella, who worked at the cafe at the beach and then worked the dining room in the evenings, and Ilias, who worked at the pool bar and made us our first frappes ever. But every single staff person that we met was friendly and always willing to chat. We learned so much about Greece and looked forward to chatting with people every day. We also had a great time meeting other people who were staying at the resort. 
The breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent, even for a vegetarian! We wouldn't have missed a meal just because we thought meal time was fun.
We can't say enough good things about this place and hope to be returning in the future.
Interestingly, the the whole experience was very different than what we were expecting. We were so surprised and happy. By the way, the pool was also wonderful!
We;ll be back!!!

Beautiful location and the best, most courteous and helpful staff!

Finishing up a wonderful week at Skiathos blu as a first time solo traveler - the best part of the trip was how welcoming and accommodating all of the staff have been. In addition to Ilias (in the van) without whom I would not have been able to enjoy the beach and Ilias (at the pool bar) who asked each day how I was enjoying myself, the absolute best part of my stay was getting to know Eva and Niko at the indoor evening bar. I wanted to learn how to say "thank you" in Greek as an appreciative gesture to all the great people I was interacting with at the hotel, the beach and in town. They patiently worked with me each day of my vacation so that by the end of the week I could speak at least one word of Greek :) 
Even though I was a solo traveler, Eva and Niko made me feel welcome and were always ready and willing to engage in a great conversation. I was also impressed with the head waiter in the restaurant (so sorry I can't remember the name!!) who knew my room number by my second day and greated me at breakfast and dinner each day - thank you!! 
The hotel was everything I expected based on reading numerous reviews and am saddened that the people who leave negative reviews seem to have not done their own research into understanding the unique experience that is Skiathos Blu Hotel. I knew my towels wouldn't be changed every day, I knew there were hundreds of steps from the hotel to the bungalows and the beach, I knew the housekeeping wouldn't be what I was used to - all well documented in various reviews. What I was so pleased to find was the truly special staff that this hotel is so lucky to have - the "flaws" of the hotel are tolerable ONLY because of the quality of its staff! Thank you Eva, Niko, Ilias (x2), Simela and all the Skiathos Blu staff!!

Excellent staff - Eva, Niko, both Ilias', restaurant & main desk staff!!

We stayed at Skiathos Blu Hotel June/Jul 2019 and can honestly say it was fabulous from start to finish 👌
Hotel grounds immaculate and gardens going down the steps  to the beach and bungalows so pretty to walk through with fruit trees and flowers all the way down.  The steps didn't bother us at all as we welcome a bit of exercise but might be a problem if you're not fit or able to climb steps.  The little shuttle bus takes you up and down to the beach and beach taverna but if you are in one of the lower rooms you will still have to go up and down  to the hotel.  Years ago there was a working cable car going up and down but it's no longer in service.  However, the walk up to the hotel is well worth it as the pool/hotel/food and staff are all outstanding.  Was a bit sceptical of going half board but the quality and choice was so good we only ate out once (a trip day).  Breakfast/dinner/desserts/cocktails were wonderful 👍
Took advantage of the drinks voucher offer - you pay €240 but get €300 worth of credit for drinks/snacks etc  - saving you €60 👍
The local/nearest beach (Nostos/ Tzaneria) - a fave of Hollywood's couple Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell is at the bottom of the steps and is just lovely with jetty for little taxi boat into town and only €4 each - really good value - or walk along a tad further and try Kanapitsa beach - bit quieter if you prefer.
A big thanks to Ilias (pool bar), Ilias (driver), Dmitri (waiter) and Evie - too many to name but all are a credit to the hotel and work extremely hard for our enjoyment.
Lastly had a massage down in one of the outside spa pods using the complimentary voucher from the hotel as part payment.  It was heaven 👍👌  And big respect to Kastos Kav - fantastic singer/guitar - multi talented muso on a Wednesday evening - just loved him!  Wish he had a You Tube Channel!
If you're considering booking and are able to climb steps this hotel is a gem!  (Been to Skiathos many many times but first time at this hotel and we loved it) - you are near to the most beautiful Peninsula walk - which we do whenever we go to Skiathos - just follow road to Kanapitsa and keep going - stunning, stunning views!!  (Make a stop off half way round at Christina's for a cold Mythos - stayed there before and it's also fabulous)!
We were in Bungalow 8 and everything was spotlessly clean and towels and bedding changed every other day.
ENJOY!  You won't be disappointed 👌🇬🇷🇬🇷  Yamas!

Wonderful, relaxing holiday 👌❤

We stayed for 7 days and it was worth the money. It was our first choice of hotel also. Its a quiet and relaxing place to get away from work. The pool was great and the waiter at the pool was very professional and kind so was the people at the restaurant and the bar at the hotel, We loved the staff. Great service and we Will come back for sure! The room was Nice, we stayed at the main building close to the pool. Food and breakfast was Good. 

Thanks again to the staff 💛

beautiful hotel and a wonderful staff

Booked this hotel through my RCI membership and was fortunate to be put in one of the sea view rooms. The view from our balcony overlooked the pool, the mountains to the left and the sea to the front and right - amazing. The rooms were very clean and tidy and the air conditioning worked really well. All of the staff from reception to restaurant and bar staff were excellent. We only had one breakfast here which was adequate without being great but the evening meals were better. The bar was well stocked with good service. We love a Baileys nightcap and I was pleasantly surprised that they stocked it although at €14 a double shot I thought was on the high side. The hotel was close to the beach however there were over 400 steps to negotiate - in normal circumstances there is a courtesy bus to and from the beach however it was not in operation during our stay. Fortunately we are both fairly fit but it may be an issue for older people or those with any disabilities. Overall it is a really nice hotel and would certainly visit again.

The views Blu me away!

Lovely Hotel in a forest of Pine Trees.  Rooms have just been revamped. Lovely pool area with lots of sunbeds and pool bar with very friendly staff. It is located in the middle of the island so its easy to get to town and most beaches. The breeze at night was so pleasant we didn't need to use the aircon. A car is recommended.  Thank you to all the staff for being friendly and making our visit enjoyable and safe in these difficult times.

Hotel in Pine Forest

For our first visit to skiathos we stayed at the skiathos blu.  It is a lovely well situated hotel, with good access to all the local beaches, restaurants and sea taxi or bus into skiathos town. 

The food is great and the staff friendly,  especially at both bars!! The rooms are a bit small and we couldn’t understand why the hand basin is in the main room. 

I would advise to get a taxi transfer so you keep your luggage with you, if not there’s a truck that does the rounds of local hotels .  We also found the reception routine unnecessarily slow and drawn out. 
But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 

Hilltop secret gem

Lovely hotel, the pool area is very nice with plenty of sun loungers, daybeds in the shade, beanbags etc. There's enough umbrellas and shady areas if you need them. The service at the pool bar is great, Illias is lovely, so friendly and helpful, his virgin strawberry mojitos are amazing!! Great views by the pool as well, can see mountainsides covered with trees and the sea. The hotel feels nice and secluded and doesn't have loads of foot traffic with it being away from the main town.
The hotel has a minivan that takes you down to the beach so you don't have to walk up and down the stairs, and there's a timetable so you always know when you can get it. There's a lovely restaurant on the beach too, which it great for lunch. The beach is okay, but I wouldn't bother paying for a sun lounger down there, it's nicer by the pool!
It's very easy to get into Skiathos Town from the hotel, you can either get the water taxi which is roughly once or twice an hour and 4EUR each way, or get the bus which comes every 15 mins outside the hotel for 1.8EUR each way. The bus is cheaper but can get very crowded, at around 5pm be prepared to wait a long time as buses get full and just drive past the stop. The boat is also nice at night if you sit outside at the front because you can see all the stars out, and it's less crowded. 
The rooms at the hotel are nice, simple with grey white and beige colour scheme. The beds are typical Greek beds, pretty hard but not too bad. Bathrooms are small as well. The rooms are nicely decorated, fairly basic but I'd say nicer than most Greek hotels I've stayed in. We booked a room in the main hotel building to avoid all the stairs you have to take with the bungalows however the hotel had oversold rooms in the main hotel building and we had to stay in a bungalow for 2 nights and then move to the main hotel building. The hotel sorted out moving our luggage which was helpful, but not ideal that we had to move in the first place so just be aware of that because they had done it to a few other people as well during our stay.
The staff are really lovely and friendly and so helpful. Breakfast was nice, a nice selection of different cooked items every day like eggs, bacon etc, but the greek yogurt with honey is the best, so delicious. Dinner servie was okay. The food wasn't really to our taste and there wasn't a great deal of choice. We felt that some of the food tasted a little old as well, the potatoes at breakfast often tasted like they had been used at dinner the nice before and reheated and served, as did the bread from the croque monsieur. I'd recommend booking a bed and breakfast stay, unfortunately we had paid for half board and quickly decided we'd rather go out every night into Skiathos Town because the restaurants there are far better. 
The main areas of the hotel were beautifully decorated, lots of driftwood with plenty of seating areas to sit and read or just laze around. Everywhere is white with grey and driftwood accents which looks really beautiful.
I would recommend this hotel in Skiathos as it has a really nice atmosphere and is in a good location, make sure you book to stay in the main hotel building if you want to avoid thousands of stairs, and I'd say only book bed and breakfast, half board isn't worth it and you're better eating dinner out.
