South Pelion Monastery of the Virgin Mary Hotels

"The staff was nice and the food was really good, but one reason I booked here was the indoor pool. Other hotels had warnings on their Expedia profile if the indoor pool was closed in the winter. This one did not so I assumed it was open. Come to find out it is not heated. I wish they would have made that clear as I was looking forward to a swim and not a polar plunge. Also, I know this is kind of par for the course in Greece but there was a dog out front that was hobbling on three legs and looked injured. It was sad and I wish the hotel would help the dogs that are suffering in their midst, somehow."

"Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean with lovely gardens and swimming pool and spectacular views across the water."

"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 "

"Staff excellence."

"The property is in a great location, less than 5 mins walk from the beach, surrounded by restaurants and right by a bus stop. It had a terrace and garden, so it was nice to have outdoor space. Our only issue was that the electricity kept tripping. The owner was very responsive and came the first time it happened, then we just flipped the trip switch back ourselves. You couldn’t run the aircon or hot water with anything else as it kept tripping. Apart from this annoyance, I would recommend staying here. "

"This hotel is set in beautifully kept garden with 5 seperate buildings with 6 rooms in each with a central pool, reception, bar, restaurant area. All very clean and well looked after. The staff are all very friendly and really made you feek at home. Breakfast ran to 11 and it was all very relaxed...No one rushed for sun beds, no one put towels down early there were always many free all day. The beach is an 8 minute walk...and is peobably the best on the island. Whilst the food in the hotel is lovely (Greek bbq night is a must) there are a number of lovely tavernas within a 5 minute walk away and the staff will happily recommend their favourites. The bus into Skiathos town is 3euros each way and runs every 10 mins or so until 1am which makes it very convenient. All in all if you want a quiet relax in lovely surroundings this is for you!"

"This hotel was incredible. Our room was cleaned and bed made every day, they had such a clean private pool, great sun beds. I had the COLDEST, most satisfying draught beer there with a frosted glass, so amazing on these hot days. The communication with the host was very prompt. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. They also have breakfast AYCE 8am-10am for 10€, great value."

"Everything great, the staff was more than friendly welcoming and helpfull, the breakfasts really tasty and we loved so much our private jacuzzi! "

"Great property in a wonderful location. Great staff "
