Aegean Suites

I am horribly overdue in writing this review having stayed here early September. The minute I stepped outside this hotel I was blown away.. We were greeted by a member of staff who took our bags and led us up to reception. Given it is quite a steep entrance we were very happy, relieved and impressed! Checking in was so pleasant (glass of homemade lemonade provided) and efficient and then our bags were carried all the way up to our room (206) which was no mean feat as that is quite a lot of steps. Our suite was fabulous and I declared within minutes of stepping in that I was now ruined for all future holiday as they all needed to be like this! Everything you need, a huge wonderfully comfortable bed, large wardrobe space, good sized comfy sofa and a good, well stocked bathroom. And immaculately clean. We loved it. The pool is fabulous with plenty of beds.. we never had a worry about getting a sunbed (though some people still felt the need to put their belongings down first thing and then disappear for ages) . The bar was well stocked - I can highly recommend the house wines ;-) (they are actually produced by the hotel company who have a vineyard now!) and the bar food was delicious. All the staff are SO helpful, interesting and very friendly.. Konstantina was someone who I spent most time chatting with and she was super helpful in finding out little nuggets of information for me based on whatever we chatted about! It's a pleasant 15-20mins walk into Skiathos town (via the beach) and there are a couple of decent supermarkets about 150 - 200 mtrs away. Also well worth getting the shuttle over to the sister hotel to enjoy the stunning beach there. Storm Daniel hit us 3 days after we had arrived - actually on the day of my partners birthday.. .who ironically is called Daniel. The staff were quite utterly outstanding throughout that horrendous and at times, quite frightening weather. They never stopped trying to help - providing us all with umbrellas, keeping us informed, smiling & staying positive, ensuring we had food and drink - even keeping up the room service which meant getting up all those stairs in torrential rain (they came up in two's so one could hold a large umbrella). They even arranged for a bottle of wine to be sent to our room for Dan's birthday. We may not have ever eaten in the restaurant had we not been under curfew and in terrible weather but I'm glad we did. The food is SUPERB. I had the best octopus I've ever eaten, in any country or restaurant! I really will be returning to this hotel as it was, even with the storm, one of the best stays I have ever had. Thank you everyone at Aegean Suites.

We have just returned from a wonderful fortnight on the island of Skiathos, staying at the Aegean Suites. It is a fabulous small hotel with around 20 suites, which means that one can really get to know the place and its staff. Our suite was comfortable, spacious and well appointed, with a balcony providing superb views of the beautiful Aegean and surrounding islands. But what made it for us was the Manager Konstantina and her lovely staff. We cannot mention them all by name but a special thanks goes to Eleni and 'Jimmy' for being such fun. The swimming pool, sunbeds, outside bar and breakfast area were superb. The advice given to us about the many brilliant tavernas was spot on and meant that we enjoyed the best of the excellent local hospitality. Well done and thank you. Nick & Judy
