Kivo Art & Gourmet Hotel

Hi everyone. We have recently been for a week to Kivo hotel, and we would like to share our experience with anybody who is looking for relaxing enjoyable friendly hotel. Since day one we been very nicely welcomed. Reception, lobby area very stylish with the most amazing views. About views, whole hotel been build to faced the most incredible views of the sea and little islands. Breakfast room once again views are breath taking, food very tasty, mixed of Greek and more European cousin. Tasty, fresh, great choice. Rooms, well some people can complain, we had a little bit of mould in bathroom, but towels changed everyday, rooms cleaned everyday, There might be few insects, but this comes with warm country's, however, cleaning team been spraying and trying to improve any inconvenience for their guests. All in all, rooms are comfortable and all of them have balcony with once again stuffing views. Stuff externally friendly, caring people, who trying their hardest to make your holiday a time to remember. Town center about 20 minutes walk, is a bit hilly, but hotel is offering transfer few times a day there and back. You can also hire a quad bike which is great fun. Cost about €25 per day. We have been on a fishing trip, which was booked by hotel, and this was the most amazing trip we could wish for. We been shown how to fish and then we have fished for few hours and then we went to Lalaria beach which is place we won't ever forget. Skiathos as a island very lovely place, water, people just no doubts the most relaxing time we ever had. We both would very happily come back to Kivo, and would like to thank all stuff for their hospitality, mainly big thanks to our lovely driver Stephan, our personnel lady Ana, and Christoph our waiter. Thank you and take care of your selfs. Regards Klaudia& Rafael Germany

A beautiful view, and the hotel lobby is very stylish. Food at the restaurant was excellent, but don't go half board here. Staff are very friendly, and always helpful. Location is isolated on a hillside, hence the views. Rooms are nothing fabulous, but in reasonable state of repair. Nearby beach, (not private as some advertise) was filthy. Hire a car or get bus elsewhere. Hotel run a regular shuttle bus into town. Overall, a decent hotel, but really quiet in evenings with no local tavernas. Get shuttle into town for the evening. Probably has best views on the island.

The hotel was lovely, with a shabby chic finish. Hotel staff were very friendly. Breakfast are amazing with a lot of variety. Bar snacks and as the name suggests gourmet evening meals also available. Organised mini bus takes / returns clients to Skiathos Town several times a day. If you can hire a car or form of transport there is parking available. It is possibly advisable to get out and about. One complaint I have is that where the hotel is situated it makes a perfect wedding back drop, which the hotel offers this service. The problem comes is that people that have booked holidays aren't necessarily advised that a wedding reception is to take place, restricting use of the only swimming pool and terrace area. No compensation was offered for 'inconvenience'. I felt that the hotel could at least had the decency to put an art easel up with the notification to holiday makers of the forthcoming event so that they could at least make alternative arrangements rather than to sit on their balconies watch events! Whilst tea coffee making facilities are available in the rooms guests one received 2 sachets of tea and coffee. This was not replenished. Little touches like this could give a better client experience given the cost of this vacation.
