Recently stayed at Skopelos holiday hotel and spa. Located just a 3 minute taxi from Skopelos town port, the hotel is just far enough out of town to get quiet secluded beauty (with great views) but close enough to the local tavernas in town. The hotel itself looks a little tired (probably owed to Covid) the rooms were cleaned daily although please explain to cleaners that the do not disturb sign means such, we were woken up on day 4 to the cleaner opening our front door…. At 8.15 am. The staff were ok, we were a little underwhelmed as we were greeted at reception on arrival. Being a honeymoon couple we didn’t entirely feel special. We were told our room was upgraded but not really sure how, the water in the room appeared to have been left by previous guests and not even a “congratulations” despite us expressing it was our honeymoon. We didn’t actually eat at the hotel apart from complimentary breakfast, which was in fact quite extensive. Despite this you somehow got the feel that the staff maybe didn’t want to be there, not even as much of a smile unless you really sought it. Wide variety of nationalities staying at the hotel and ? Some friends of the staff were having drinks throughout the day, we kind of got the feel that the hotel was maybe being used not only by the guests. Despite this we hired a car and explored the delights of the beautiful Island. Our favourite village was Agnontas, a couple of villages along the coastline from the hotel. All in all this hotel was ok as a base to explore the amazing island of Skopelos. We will definitely visit Skopelos again, just maybe not stay at this hotel.
