Punta Hotel

"Good location with a panoramic view of Skiathos Town. Hotel is very clean, nice room and balcony, but the bathroom could use an update. We had requested a quiet room, but unfortunately were woken up every morning between approx. 6:00 and 7:00 AM by the sewage truck. The food was very delicious and varied. Many thanks again to the head chef and the attentive, friendly service staff."

"We stayed at Hotel Punta in late September for 4 nights. Great location just outside the town overlooking the bay. It is about 20 min walk – we only walked into town (not back up the hill). We made use of the free shuttle bus, never had an issue with using it and did get a taxi once from the town (10 euros). The hotel is split over lots of floors (no lifts) so possibly not for people with mobility issues. We had upgraded to a deluxe room (not sure what the difference was) the room was clean bright and airy overlooking the bay. Linen and towels of good quality. Bed and pillows were very comfy. Towels changed on request. Tea and coffee making facilities, complimentary drink on arrival and complimentary bottle of water in room. Buffet breakfast good (English and continental) , plenty of choice of hot and cold dishes. We had an early start for a trip but there were still hot dishes available. We only dined in the restaurant on one occasion as we chose to eat in the town. The evening meal in the hotel was good, plenty of choice 22 euros each with a drink so reasonable price. The outside bar did shut after our first night (Skiathos pretty much shuts down 30 Sept). The hotel staff and reception staff are all very welcoming, friendly and professional. The barmen was very friendly (contrary to other reviewers comments). There is a small delightful private beach just a 5 minute walk away. Worth a visit. Unfortunately we did not have the best of weather to enjoy Skiathos and its beaches or opportunity to use the hotel pool. The town is lovely, nice mix of shops (good quality shops), bars and restaurants. Prices in Skiathos are very reasonable. Visit Bourtzi for great food and views (even from the loos) and a walk through the old town to Paralia Plakes if definitely worth the view. We joined the other idiots and watched the planes land and take off (quite the experience) We did the Mamma Mia day trip to Skopelos. Definitely worth a visit, Skopelos is stunning and its worth a walk up to the Mamma Mia chapel. We got picked up directly from the hotel which was great. I would definitely return to Skiathos to explore more (in better weather) and can recommend the Punta for its value for money, staff and location."

"Pros, reception and cleaning staff lovely. Cons, pool bar closed 27th sept still closed, no music no draft beer and charging 4,50 euro for a small Mythos nearly £8 a pint disgusting. Evening meal if you are half board is 7.30pm till 9.30 so you miss the free shuttle bus from the hotel to skiathos town taxis everu night for a week cost us £152. To dark and dangerous to walk to skiathos town at night no pavements not many street lights. Rooms clean everything you need other than a sink plug Room 208 receives absolutely no sun on the balcony Skiathos pprt lovely loads to do best to stay that side Food good but luke warm once you get it to your table one member of staff certainly didn't go to charm school."
