Skiathos Theros, Philian Hotels and Resorts

We booked Thalassa Theros due to its proximity to the town ( 10 mins ) and the beach ( 10 secs ) This hotel is part of a group Phillan and shares the reception with Thalassa Cape. On arrival, late evening, the staff were friendly and helpful explaining everything and transferring our cases to our room. Our room, 107, was listed on Jet 2 as a deluxe room and located on the ground floor. I am not sure how this compares to other rooms in the hotel as I didn't view one. The room was spacious with great aircon, however because I am picky there were a few issues. The bathroom, really big with a hairdryer but no shelf to put toiletries on, also minimal rails to hang towels. The bed was very big and the room had a kettle, fridge and a safe. Storage space was lacking and we had to ask for more hangers. First world problem I know but remember this is classed as a deluxe room. Furniture in room apart from the bed was one chair and one stool plonked in the corner, it just didn't appear right at all. Why not two chairs and a small table. The room was listed with an iron however we had to ask for one. Credit due they bought a new one for us, however there is no ironing board so we had to improvise with a towel and the edge of a table. The room is cleaned every day with fresh towels and bottles of water. There were a set of doors that led onto a balcony. These doors had outside shutters and black out curtains, an issue was that to get any sort of natural light into the room you had to open both curtains and shutters which gave no privacy . Just closing the shutters made the room dark. A pair of net curtains would make the world of difference. The balcony was good two chairs and a table, however no where to hang damp towels etc. Due to position of 107 the balcony is not that private and in many occasions people decided to leave cans and drinks on the wall. Location is right on the beach which gives an amazing view from breakfast. Breakfast is plentiful with a great choice. We used the hotel restaurant on one evening and I can highly recommend it. The hotel as its own section of beach with beds and umbrellas. However they charge 25 euro for two bed, umbrella and towels. the beds are packed tight and you have to pre book. You pay enough for the room then having to pay extra for a sun bed is a no no in my opinion. There is a decent pool at Theros with around 22 beds. a decent pool bar where you can get free towels Yep people put towels on them. Towards the end of the stay they started putting little notes out to ask people not to. So you have a choice get up and snag a bed at the pool or pay 25 euro for one at the beach. My tip walk to Swell Bar 200metres down the beach, 15 euro for two beds and an umbrella and great for lunch. The staff are fantastic and willing to engage if you take the time to speak to them and if you can afford it reward them with a little something. So to sum up Location brilliant Staff brilliant Food & Drink brilliant e

Absolutely fantastic staff , food location and comfort in the rooms. From the moment we arrived the staff couldn’t do enough and this continued throughout our stay. The room was lovely and a very comfortable bed. Plenty of space and life saving air conditioning as it was very hot. The continental breakfast was first class lots of options to choose from , egg bacon sausages if you required it. The hotel was a 15 minute walk into Skiathos Center , absolutely beautiful the old town was amazing, tavernas in abundance. The hotel supplied sun beds for 15 euros for 2 which had to be booked in reception. The beach is literally two steps from the restaurant. Plenty of boat trips around the island and a local bus every 15mins to all the different beaches 2euros each. Absolutely 💯 percent recommend this hotel.
