Adrina Resort & Spa

Where to start...the island of Skopelos, or Adrina Resort & Spa? Either way, both are absolutely stunning and surpassed our wildest dreams. Why go to the Caribbean or the Maldives when you have this peaceful and tranquil haven only a 4 hour flight away from home. Prior to our holiday, we decided to splash out and arrive in style by getting the resort to book a taxi for us from the airport to Skiathos port, and a high speed water taxi direct to Adrina. Talk about money well spent, no waiting 2 hours for the ferry to Glossa, we were literally at the Adrina within half an hour. Well recommended. On arrival we were greeted on the pontoon by the hotel staff and helped with our bags to reception via the nifty funicular lift they have in place. To our surprise we were instantly upgraded to a villa, which was a definite bonus, thank you to Vasilis. The villa itself was spotlessly clean with lovely modern decor, and cleaned everyday (which included a new bottle of water in the fridge each day as well). The bed and pillows were lovely and comfy, and the air-con works like a dream. Safe, tea/coffee, slippers, iron, hairdryer...you name it, it was all there. Lovely powerful shower too. The beach is pretty much private to the Adrina Resort, and is as idyllic as it gets...lovely clean course sand/shingle and crystal clear water which just draws you in. The sunbeds are provided by the resort and free to use, and there are plenty to go around at the pool or the beach (no towel reserving going on here thank goodness). Don't forget your snorkel and mask, well worth bringing (oh...and beach shoes for the pebbles). We booked half-board, and I have to say the food in the restaurant was of a very high standard. You can also eat at the Adrina Beach taverna. Thank you to Kostas, and the two Antonis, who were great characters and deserve to be recognised for their hard work and customer service. After spending a wonderful couple of days on the beach relaxing and unwinding we decided to hire a car for two days and see some of the island. Again, this was all organised for us by Vasilis at reception. Notable places I would recommend getting out and about to see: - Skopelos Town - Glossa Town - Loutraki Port - Milia Beach - Perivoliou Beach and Lighthouse - Agnontas Town, Port & Beach - Panormos Town (literally 15 min walk from Adrina) - Agios IoannisChurch (think Mamma Mia) Remember, always take your swimming stuff wherever you go, as that crystal clear water will for sure lure you in! There is only one problem with the Adrina...you won't want to leave! We will definitely be back to Skopelos and the Adrina, only next time for longer.

I escaped the busy atmosphere of Skiathos for a couple of days at this impeccable hotel on Skopelos. The location is perfect, just outside Panormos, which must be the best resort in Greece - I felt like I was travelling back 20 years, prior to a time of mass tourism. Plenty of walkable beaches, beautiful, beautiful environment and the hotel itself is superb. Good food, great rooms and fantastic staff. Great pool and good prices too. Wish I'd discovered this hotel and area earlier.

A beautiful hotel attention to detail, lovely helpful staff. The hotel has its own beach, definitely recommend for a quiet relaxing holiday. Skopelos town is attractive and only a 25 euro ride away. There are several restaurants close by but we chose mostly to eat at the hotel, where the food was excellent.

The room was fab, good priced beer. The beach was nicer than expected. Could walk to Panormas for a great dinner, and Milia which is very chill. Good location.

The only issue was the staff, other than the receptionists and breakfast staff (which were lovely!). The bar staff, we never felt welcome. Really grumpy faces and didn't want us to be there. Got my nails done and really poor quality too.

We had the most amazing holiday staying at Adrina Resort, thank you for making it very special for us. Everything was perfect from start to finish, the welcome, the accommodation, the staff. There is nothing we can fault in any way. Every member of the team is helpful, friendly and professional. Stathis and Paris, you are both complete legends and a true credit to Adrina. You made our stay a delight. Our two bedroom villa was spacious and immaculate, the cleaning team work so hard, especially in the heat and we really appreciated their attention to detail. Toiletries are luxurious, we welcomed the extra touches provided in the bathrooms. The beach is a dream, sunbeds are free and we always found space, even for four of us. It is well managed and we always felt welcome. Restaurants were all lovely, breakfast is relaxed and so much fantastic choice. Lunch and evening restaurants also great menus and sensible prices. All in all we had the perfect holiday, and hope to be back next year. Thank you again.

Very Nice and big room. The place is amazing and also really quite. Very close to Panormos with lots of restaurants Excellent service and restoration I loved the breakfast Maybe they should improve reception services and kids entertainment The beach is small but really quiet

An absolutely amazing place with cleanest beach and diving center just at the hotel. Convenient service, free lounge chairs with clean towels every single day. Nicely preserved and clean area for snorkeling around! I was able to see an octopus almost every day. Highly recommend to take a snorkeling or scuba diving tour at the diving center, they bring you to a beautiful locations which no surprise is not too far away.

Such a special place to visit! Skopelos island was amazing and Adrianna was the ultimate spot to stay! Great accommodation and fabulous staff. Loved the beach . Enjoyed the beach and the pebbles- so pretty! Loved the lunch venue at the resort the most - food was great!

Beautiful family run hotel - where you are remembered amongst the other returning guests. Staff are super friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble Help in transporting you back to your room is a delight after a hot afternoon on the beach Food & service always 100 percent.

The Adrina was pure Heaven! The staff made you feel like family when your boat arrived at the resort. The Breakfast was excellent, and the amenities were first-class! Skopelos is much more than where Mama Mia was filmed. We will be returning!
