Skiathos Theros, Philian Hotels and Resorts

We stayed for a week in the Theros block in August 25. The food in the restaurant was wonderful and great value if you are staying half board. Some really tasty and imaginative and modern takes on Greek cooking such as tuna tarta, great sea food and orange pie. The view from the restaurant was also magnificent. The pool is lovely and you could generally get a quality sun bed when we went (notes asking not to reserve we’re working!). The hotel is right on the beach and although there is a charge of €25 for two sun beds they are top quality and you also get a towel. We found this compared very well to other places on the beach and worth paying. You need to book in advance to get a front row bed, but you have the crystal clear water lapping up to your feed through the day which is great. Our room was also excellent - we were at the back so had a terrace which was private as surrounded by plants. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom spacious. Safe, fridge and A/C all worked well. As others have said the best thing about the hotel is the wonderful staff who all go out of their way to make you feel welcome and with nothing being is too much bother. What a fantastic place for a truly relaxing break.

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

Very friendly hotel, the staff are fantastic and can not do enough for you, the Amos restaurant (breakfast) is certainly adequate and the scenery is fantastic as you are right on the beach. Close by are some fantastic Tavernas along the beach and the hotel Taverna is a great dinning experience for an evening meal. Sun beds by the small but deep Hotel pool are very comfy and easy to acquire, however the ones on the beach belonging to your hotel are soon booked up in advance and for the amount of money to stay there the extra cost is outrageous ( only my opinion as we took our 20 year old twin girls so for the four sun beds it was 50 euros per day or £42.67) all this on top of the Greek hotel tax we knew nothing about until we arrived ( another 280 euros paid out five mins after we arrived) the accommodation is fairly basic (especially for a four star hotel) but clean and comfy. It’s only a ten minute walk into the main town of Skiathos and what a wonderful place this is. Everything considered (apart from the expense) I would certainly recommend this hotel and we will definitely be returning in the next couple of years.

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.

We stayed for two weeks and were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff are great - efficient and friendly. We wanted to be close to the beach and town as I have limited mobility at the moment. We were very well looked after. The beach was well set up and thanks to Mike & Anastasia for their help every day. We ate in the restaurant at lunchtimes (or on the beach) and a few times in the evenings, good menu, fresh fish choice was a nice touch. Breakfast was varied with something for every taste, healthy, cooked, good selection of fresh fruit. We stayed in the Theros building, very clean, fridge for drinks, good air con, a safe, comfy bed. Not much of a balcony view but we don’t sit out on the balcony much. Bathroom compact, good shower. Plenty of hanging space in wardrobe, I took extra hangers (tip!). Pool area got full up quite quickly and it seemed that some people would put towels down and not show up for a very long time (selfish). Not a problem as the beach so nice. Would recommend this hotel.

We had 18 days in this great hotel The beach location is just amazing ,the beach is set up perfectly every morning and is just for hotel guests. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are modern and comfortable The hotel also offers a beautiful pool area with a great pool bar The dining area has a view to die for looking over the Beach and the bay Breakfast there is so much choice and selection of coffee made fresh for you on order In the evening the beach is revamped with seating and a dj for you to enjoy drinks and has a very relaxing beach club vibe The restaurant at evening serves high end dining experience and is a must do on your stay The only suggestion I would have to management is could the designate a no smoking area as it would have made our evening better not having smokers all around while we dined All in all I would recommend this hotel and I will return for sure All i
