Myrtia Summer Village

This hotel should be so proud! The only Thomas Cook Hotel (out of 30+ in Skiathos) to be snapped up by another tour operator within two weeks... just goes to show how amazing it is. In my eyes, the best hotel in Skiathos by far. As an ex TC Rep working in the hotel, it has been my favourite hotel to work in, in five years, across six destinations. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough! Maybe I am biased, but this hotel deserves the absolute best. I am so happy for you all. Incredible staff that will make you feel completely at home, and will turn into friends. Amazing hotel. Amazing location. Incredible atmosphere... and the best Greek night on the island! So well deserved! And I couldn’t think of a better final hotel to work in to end my journey with Thomas Cook. I wish you all the very best with your new contract with TUI💛💙 Good luck! & thank you all for absolutely everything. I will never forget you. I’m so sorry we didn’t get to say goodbye, but I will see you all soon I’m sure. Vladko, Ana, Vera, Chris (Jonny), Despina, Vangueles, Neda - thank you all💛 #MyrtiaFamily All my love, Kelsey xxx

We were put up here for one night when Thomas Cook went under. We were due to fly home but were told by the check-in agent that we weren’t on the list so couldn’t fly that day. We were put onto the coach & dropped off at the far end of Skiathos. A long walk from the drop off at the roadside through the forest to the reception. We then met V who was the life & soul of the place. He checked everybody in, then a while later took the orders for the food in the restaurant. The food was good. We were told to enjoy the following days sun. The only downside to our short visit was the room. It was very basic. The bathroom was a wet-room ie it was wet after having a shower. Neighbours could be heard through the thin walls. At 10pm we were told to drop the cases off at reception at 8am the following day & walk to the roadside entrance ready for the coach journey. Breakfast didn’t start until 9am so we missed out. By far the standout asset to the Myrtia are the staff who are all great especially V who multi-tasks as the resident receptionist/ waiter / singer / Redcoat. Early next morning we arrived at the airport, we again queued up & were told that we still weren’t on the list so couldn’t fly. On the next flight 5 hours later we still weren’t on the list but the man from CAA & the 3 ladies who were ex- Thomas Cook said that nobody that was on our bus was on the list so the check-in agent finally decided to allow us on the flight. We then had a 4 hour flight without food & only half a cup of orange to drink. Overall I would say that the Myrtia’s target audience would be families who like to be out & about.

Initially we were disappointed with our room. The Thomas Cook photos made the room appear a higher quality. It was freshly decorated with newly painted shutters and the room was clean. However the bathroom was poor; The stainless steel racks were rusty and corroded, there was a sewer smell the whole week in which we had to make sure the bathroom door was closed at all times. We did report this on day 1 and the smell did go away for a short time but returned and stayed throughout the week. The fridge was rusty and needed replacing. Having said that the staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. The pool bar/bar area was clean and very inviting . The staff make every effort to entertain ie. greek night, movie nights etc. We did the Greek night and the food was great, plentiful and reasonable with dancing and fire, very reasonably priced. The bar food was good quality and staff eager to please giving a friendly family atmosphere. Location is just a few mins walk from the main road so nice and quiet but perhaps a torch is recommended. We got the impression that the complex is being renovated and improvements definitely being made but sadly our room had not been done prior to our visit.
