The views from the resort are absolutely breathtaking and almost every spot on the site offers unbeatable scenery. The beaches are all very clean and the sun loungers are comfortable and luxurious. You won't have to worry about overcrowding either, as each beach tends not to get too busy. Golf buggies are available to transport guests to and from the beaches, making it easy to explore them all. The hotel is located on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island with access to several others just a few minutes' walk away. The scenery and location really cannot be beaten and the service, facilities and quality of food available all live up to the high standards set by this top destination.

Some describe it as the best hotel breakfast they ever had with hot and cold meat, cakes, fruit and bread. The views from the breakfast spot are outstanding and the breakfast personnel friendly and accommodating.

The breakfast terrace is also noted as the most beautiful one ever seen with a perfect setting for a relaxed and wonderful start of the day.

Dinner
Guests have mixed reviews about the dining options at ELIVI Skiathos. Some have praised the amazing food served in the Japanese, Nest Fish and Asian restaurants, while others found the food to be overpriced and not reflective of the price. The service at the main restaurant was a disappointment for some guests, but others found waiters to be very polite and ready to help with any query. Some guests were pleased to see that menu options had been expanded to give more choice. However, others complained that the food in the restaurants was shocking for the price and that the service at the Italian restaurant was non-existent. Additionally, guests noted that there were limited options for places to eat on-site with some recommending going to Skiathos town. The quality of the food varied from okay to very good with some guests noting that the breakfast quality was very good. Some guests were disappointed with the use of disposable wooden cutlery in the beach restaurants, which they felt did not match the 5-star level of the hotel. Overall, guests described the evening dining experience as a bit formal.
Rooms
ELIVI Skiathos is a luxurious and modern hotel which seamlessly blends in with the surrounding nature. The rooms are well-maintained and stunning with beautiful sea views, individual villas and infinity pools. Guests praised the spacious and stylish Grace rooms with terraces overlooking the sea, as well as the blackout blinds in the junior suite. The cleanliness of the rooms was also commended with sunbeds being disinfected after every use. However, some guests noted a lack of storage space and small wardrobes in some of the rooms. While some found the modern touch screen lighting feature inconvenient, others found it difficult to sleep with the lights on. Despite a few minor issues, such as no kettle, the hotel provided exceptional amenities, including beautiful jacuzzi suites with scenic views. Furthermore, the property was well-maintained, clean and peaceful although some guests had difficulty getting around due to the property's size and buggies. Overall, ELIVI Skiathos provided an exceptional and comfortable stay for its guests.

If you're looking for a hotel with a fantastic team, ELIVI Skiathos is definitely worth considering. The staff are AMAZING, welcoming and always smiling, making you feel right at home. The service is impeccable with the beach team and buggy drivers being especially friendly and helpful. The entire staff is very polite, friendly and professional, although some guests have noticed that they lack the experience expected in a 5-star resort. However, in general, the staff is willing to assist and happy to help, so if you have any issues, you can always turn to them. The hotel feels like a family run establishment and some guests even praised the sweetest gentleman they met at breakfast who was the hotels manager. The staff at reception are very helpful upon check-in and the crew in the restaurants and kids club are fantastic. Some guests did experience a lack of attentiveness during breakfast or found the service appalling at times, but overall, MOST of the staff are very polite, friendly and professional.

Family
ELIVI Skiathos is a fantastic family-friendly hotel, perfect for those traveling with kids. Many guests have praised the hotel for being excellent and fabulous for families with one even saying they will stay again. The hotel is located near Banana beach, which is fantastic for kids to play and have fun. Some parents have mentioned that the hotel even offered them a crib for their baby girl. However, it's important to note that the hotel is not buggy-friendly with lots of stairs and hills to climb to get to the beach. The hotel caddy service also has long wait periods, so it's best to keep this in mind if you have a child that requires food between these times. Despite these minor issues, the hotel is a great option for couples and families and many families with children have enjoyed their stay.
