Ilio Mare is the polished five-star option on the quieter west coast, set right on the golden sand of Dassilio beach near Skala Prinos. Colonial-style buildings sit in green gardens around a big outdoor pool with a dedicated children's section, and the half-board dining is a cut above. It suits families who want a smart, calm beachfront base rather than a noisy megaresort.
Our verdict
Ilio Mare is the grown-up, good-value five-star of Thassos: a calm beachfront resort with a proper children's pool, gentle sand and dining a step above the island average. Pick it if you want quality and quiet over water slides, and hire a car so the peaceful setting never feels cut off.
The rooms
Rooms and suites are spacious and calm, many with balconies or terraces facing the sea and the gardens. Family suites sleep up to four with a separate living area, so a sleeping toddler does not end your evening. Cots are free on request, and the ground-floor garden rooms save you stairs with a pushchair.

Parents also ask
Is there a pool for young children?
Yes, alongside the large main outdoor pool there is a separate shallow children's pool, so toddlers can splash safely while parents stay close by.
Is the beach good for little ones?
Dassilio beach is soft golden sand with a gentle, gradual entry into the water, which is ideal for paddling. Bring shade and water shoes as a comfort for the hottest hours.
Do we need a car?
It is strongly recommended. Skala Prinos is a quiet village, so a hire car makes it easy to reach other beaches, tavernas and the main town of Limenas.
Are family rooms available?
Yes, family suites sleep up to four with a separate living area and a sofa bed, and cots are free on request for babies.

Makryammos Bungalows
Accommodation is in stone bungalows scattered through 30 acres of pine forest, each with a private veranda looking over the gardens or the Aegean. They were recently renovated and family categories give you room for four. Electric carts ferry you and tired children up and down the wooded slope, which is a small blessing at the end of a beach day.

Royal Paradise Beach Resort & Spa
Rooms are spread across a main building and garden wings, most with a furnished balcony and many with sea views. Family rooms and suites take four comfortably, and cots are available on request. The layout keeps the busy pool zone and the quieter garden rooms far enough apart that a napping child is not disturbed by afternoon splashing.

Alexandra Beach Thassos Spa Resort
Rooms are comfortable and practical rather than designer, with balconies and family categories that take two adults and two children. Cots and high chairs are provided, and the first child up to 12 stays free in the parents' room, which is a real budget help. Ask for a room near the children's pool if you have toddlers.
