Guests asked to vacate hotel due to a family wedding

4.0

Arrived at hotel and was given the wrong room as we had paid for a sea view room, and our room faced a garden and wall, there was no water pressure in the taps,we asked to be moved to a room we had paid for to be advised they were full and we could not move until the following day reception gave us one bottle of water to wash our hands with. Moved rooms the following day which was the correct room with a stunning view however when we got back to the room in the evening there was a strong sewage smell in our room when we reported this the staff came with disinfectant which was only a temporary fix as the smell returned the following day and the staff had to block up the drain in the bathroom to stop the smell. On Tuesday 23rd September we noticed a note on the wall saying that the hotel facilities pool, bar and restaurant could not be used by paying guests after 2pm on the 26th due to a private family wedding, bearing in mind there was no alternative bars or restaurants nearby we all had to get the curtesy bus into Skiathos town or stay in our bedrooms. When we took this up with Jet 2 even they wasn’t aware of this. When we got back to the hotel later that evening we tried to get into the hotel to get some ice to be told stay there by a member of staff you are not allowed in here they would get some ice for us. We were treaty disgustingly on this day by the hotel they definitely did not want us there. Also if you are visiting this hotel be aware that you are not allowed to eat any of your own snacks by the pool as we were advised of this by the barman,and he would have to report us even though there are no signs up anywhere advising of this. The location of the hotel is very remote but the views are stunning would definitely not go back to this hotel as it wasn’t a good experience.

Private wedding - had to vacate hotel !!!!!

2.0

This is a mixed review. The hotel is in a fantastic spot for a relaxing holiday with stunning views. Rooms and all areas were immaculately clean and pool had the most comfortable sunbeds. Staff were all lovely. However, I have never witnessed hotel guests being treated so badly by hotel management before….. with 2 days notice a small message was posted in reception stating the hotel would be closed for a private wedding. In effect guests would be unable to use any of the hotel (pool, bar, restaurant, seating areas) from 2pm until the following day. It transpires it was actually a pre-party for the owners son who was getting married - and everyone had to leave the hotel (or sit in our room) for the prep so the party could start at 6pm until “late”. The tour operators (Jet 2 and TUI) knew nothing about it. Guests who actually arrived on the day of the party were not allowed to enter the hotel and after a long day travelling were told they couldn’t have a drink or food and would have to go into town (which is 15 mins away by bus). We were told by reception that it was “just one day”. If we had known about the wedding we would have either booked a different hotel or chosen a different week. They very kindly offered us a free bus into Skiathos town (which we got anyway). The owner/management treated their paying guests with total disrespect.

Fantastic Hotel

Fantastic hotel, as all previous reviews, you won’t be disappointed! Book it now! Book a sea view but check if you have mobility issues as some rooms are at the bottom of a steep slope.

Fabulous 👌

Beautiful clean and stunning views a wow factor as soon as you walk into reception. All staff were amazing and very helpful . Need more sunbeds as after we had been out in the morning and came back early afternoon you were lucky if you got a sunbed ...we never got a sunbed the whole week we were there they do have chairs which we got every day when we returned back to the hotel. Curtesy bus make sure you book in advance otherwise its taxi and there €15 one way into skiathos town. I would still return to this hotel because of its stunning views and peace

Gorgeous views

The stand out feature of this hotel apart from the views are the staff. Every member of staff we met went above and beyond to help and are a real credit to the hotel. Breakfast was included and always a variety of choice, we also had lunch at the hotel on several days. Lunch was fabulous excellent value and always delicious. We did eat at the hotel on one evening but were really disappointed the quality was not great and had to wait a long time initially for our drinks orders. There is so much that is great about this hotel that with a few tweaks would make it stand out and make it exceptional - the shuttle bus is great but you have to book it the day before and in high season is not guaranteed however by putting on a couple more in high season this is easy solved - the pool closes at 6 this is so that the evening dining can be set up around the pool this could be extended as it is nice to stay and enjoy the pool longer in the summer and not feel that getting in the way. - keeping the lunch menu open till 7 the menu choices, quality and value were exceptional compared to the actual evening menu - providing bottles of water daily in room - lovely robes provided but the only place to hang them was in the wardrobe having some extra hooks would have been brilliant

Fantastic Relaxing Stay

Where do I start! After a very hectic year we wanted a relaxing peaceful two week holiday to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. We got that and more at Oniro. We most definitely will be coming back for our 35th. From the moment we arrived the welcome was first class. We had booked a sea view room. The views from everywhere in the hotel are beautiful, even better than the photos. Our room had everything we needed and was kept spotless by the hard working staff. Breakfast was varied and fresh. We ate in the bar area which had a great menu and large portion sizes. We also ate dinner in the hotel at least 7 nights of our stay and the food was lovely and reasonably priced. Desserts to die for. What a chef! The staff were so friendly, got to know us by name, always asked how our day was if we had been out. Knew our drink orders and genuinely took an interest. Maro & Nico along with the rest of your colleagues at breakfast and on reception thank you for making our holiday even more special. Reception staff were all friendly and pleasant too, on leaving (sorry I can’t recall the receptionist name) asked how our stay was and honestly I was nearly in tears leaving. Even came out to wave us off. These little things stay with you and I honestly can’t praise or thank all the staff enough. We hired a car for 11 days which gave us the flexibility to visit the monastery and beaches at our leisure. We would always manage to get seated around the pool when we returned in the afternoon. The shuttle bus is a great service and runs like clockwork. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday with spectacular views and fantastic service Oniro is the place. See you all in 2026. Enjoy your well deserved rest and again thank you. Moira & Alan
