ELIVI Skiathos Dog Friendly Review
ELIVI Skiathos holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given some genuine strengths for dog owners. Dogs are welcome across all of the hotel's outdoor spaces, including the central bar and lounge, as well as on the terrace and in the garden, and they may also join you in the Grace and Nest restaurants. Staff have had training in hosting dogs and helping visitors travelling with them, and the hotel is upfront about its pet policy before you even book. There is also a nearby lake, Strofylia, for walks, giving your dog somewhere natural to stretch its legs close to the property.
Day to day, your dog may stay in your room, and can be left alone there provided he is known to settle quietly, which suits a calm dog well. There is no damage deposit required beyond the standard payment, though a dog fee of €50,00 applies to the stay. Dogs are allowed throughout the hotel's outdoor areas, the bar, the lounge, the terrace, the garden, and both restaurants, giving a genuinely open run of the sociable spaces. Cats are also accepted under the same terms as dogs, should you be travelling with more than one kind of pet.
The drawbacks are worth weighing carefully. Dog friendly accommodation is limited to rooms in the Grace and Nest complexes, with dogs not permitted in the main Xenia building, so your choice of room is narrowed from the outset. A weight limit of 18 lbs applies, which rules this out for owners of larger breeds. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, bowls, dog food, treats, toys, a dog wash area, walking guidance, a dog-walking service, poop bags, grooming, or an emergency vet number, so you will need to arrive prepared for most practical needs yourself. This stay suits the owner of a small, quiet dog who is happy to self-cater on equipment and wants a sociable hotel where their dog can join them almost everywhere. Owners of larger dogs, or those wanting supplied dog gear and services, should look elsewhere.
