With Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan among its past guests, you know you're in good company at the Skiathos Princess. Both actors were spotted holidaying here with their families, so it's fair to say this place has got star appeal. But then the Skiathos Princess is rather special. Take the location, for instance. Pine-covered hills cocoon the hotel. The turquoise waters of Aghia Paraskevi are literally on the doorstep. And a handful of sleepy tavernas provide the supporting cast.
As for the hotel itself, it's gorgeous. A lot of thought has gone into the interior – it certainly has a Grand Designs feel about it. Think flattering lighting, neutral tones, and sink-into-me sofas. It's a similar story in the bedrooms. Here, the colour chart ranges from purple and lilac, chocolate and cream, right through to turquoise and white. But whatever the palette of your room, you'll find the same luxury touches - sweeping curtains, scatter cushions and Queen Anne-style chairs. Not to mention 21st century gadgets like flat screen TVs, air-conditioning and Wi-Fi.
With names like 'The Muse' and 'P Club' even the bars have got that hip New York vibe going on. And the beach restaurant's got the style factor, too. Billed as a 'new trend in Greek tavernas', it's all-white theme is the epitome of cutting-edge cool. The pool area's very 'of the moment' as well, with wood decking, linen parasols and wicker-framed sun loungers on the terrace.
Of course, as you'd expect from a hotel of this calibre, the Skiathos Princess has got all the accoutrements for a very special stay – whirlpools, tropical rain baths, steam rooms, the works. And in keeping with the overall feel, discreet pastimes like scuba diving and windsurfing, top the activities list. The hotel's piece de restistance, however, has to be its beachfront setting. Wooden sun-loungers topped with comfy white mattresses gaze out to sea – perfect for lazy days in sun. With all this on offer, it's no wonder the Skiathos Princess has an A-list following.

The hotel was well laid out and it's location in the resort was great. However, as this was a 5* hotel we were a bit disappointed with the food which was just a buffet style with no availability to have an a la carte meal in the evening which we... more on this review
