EXCELLENT HOTEL BUT BEWARE OF THE SUPERIOR ROOMS
First of all the positives. The hotel has a great pool area with lovely comfortable day beds with cushions. The pool bar staff were really friendly and efficient. The bar service to your day beds was a real bonus. Two nice pools as well. Lots of choice for breakfast with friendly efficient waiting staff. The restaurant at the pool area served very nice meals at lunchtime. We also ate there on the night once and the food and service were exceptional. The bar lounge at the front of the hotel had lovely sea views with nice background music. The one negative was the room we stayed in. It was a superior room in a block of 12 rooms at the rear of the hotel grounds. Room numbers beginning with 100. It is classed as superior but there aren’t any rooms at a lower price point and IMO it wasn’t superior!! The bedroom area was very spacious with great air conditioning, plenty of storage space and a really comfortable bed, it had a kitchenette which was superfluous. The balcony wasn’t very private. However, our biggest gripe was the en-suite. Not only was it small but there was virtually no shelving etc to put things, and on top of that it only had a hand held shower. (No comparison to the one photo on the hotel website of the ‘superior’ en suite, which is tiled and looks recently renovated) According to reception most of the superior rooms only have hand held showers. For a boutique hotel, charging a premium price, not to have overhead showers in every room was very disappointing. We paid £420 extra for a limited sea view room. The rooms in this block at the rear have a nice view of the pool and garden but the actual sea view is very limited, (definitely not amazing as described on the hotel website) and certainly not worth the extra we paid. In fact the rooms in this block seem to have been neglected. Room numbers not visible, rust on banisters, paint peeling of walls etc. On a side issue, we are regular visitors to Lassi and we were disappointed to find that two of the bars had become really loud. So simple and in particular Trentis bar after 11pm, when you could hear the noise all the way back to our hotel which was over 5 minutes walk away. Despite the negatives in relation to our room, OVERALL The Thalassa is a great choice for a quiet adults only holiday, with excellent staff, reasonable prices and pleasant areas to relax, both during the day and on a night.
Perfect stay in the Thalassa hotel
Wonderful holiday in the beautiful Thalassa Boutique hotel. Ideal location with a 10 minute walk to the restaurants, bars and hotels A 15 minute bus ride to the capital Argostoli is where you can pick up the boat trips or walk along the promenade. Cute little beach is a 5 minute walk away, but there are larger beaches close by which are easy to get to. The pool area is clean, modern with plenty of beds available. Nice ambient background music helped with the relaxed vibe. Rooms are spacious with a fabulous large walk in shower. The beds are very comfortable aswell. The breakfast is a 10/10, and i loved the thyme honey and filo pastry mushroom pie... absolutely delicious. There is large building works at the front of the hotel but it does not impede on the hotel stay whatsoever. We thoroughly enjoyed our much needed break away from reality in this lovely hotel. Highly recommend

Awful
Ok so without doubt this is a luxury hotel but I can’t believe how they treated me. I was travelling solo and arrived at the hotel about 2pm so very tired after getting up at 5am to get my flight that morning . I was struggling with my big case as I had a painful shoulder but was so relieved to finally arrive. The reception staff greeted me and asked for my passport as is the norm however they then said that there was a problem with my room ( didn’t really explain what kind of problem) she was vague it was technical or mechanical and then said that they had arranged for me to stay at a hotel down the road for one night and I could come back after breakfast! I was very upset and said surely you have a different room here but I was told they were all taken and before I could take it all in she called a cab for me to be taken to the other hotel and gave the driver 9 euros for his fare. So I found myself at the Mediterranean Hotel in a dingy room overlooking a car park . I had to struggle to find things in my case for just one night as no one wants to unpack to have to put everything away again . The frustration and upset over this meant that I just ended up going to bed at 8pm . In the morning I had a breakfast there ( really poor , eggs were cold ) then asked them to get me a taxi back , arriving around 10am so trying to keep my cool I was once again at the reception and asked for my room keys to be told that it wasn’t ready and to take a seat ! After 15 to 20minutes I asked again and I was told it could take until 12pm but I should just go and sit by the pool and wait . I then started to get angry it was boiling hot and all my clothes were still in my case but this woman was just unmoving and had no customer service skills at all she just kept repeating the same information so I asked to speak to her manager . I was then told there was no manager in the hotel but if I wanted I could email him. Omg I couldn’t believe this was how I was being treated at this luxury hotel. I said maybe you can email them and get them to call me but she refused. I asked for some kind of compensation bearing in mind a night at this place was around £245 but all I was offered was a complimentary lunch Absolutely disgusting treatment for a guest . I managed to get hold of an Easy Jet helpline and they said they would email but to date the manager has not bothered to answer them . Be warned do not go to this hotel they do not care and have no onsite managers although I don’t believe that for a moment, I also think they double booked my room and as a single woman thought I would make the least fuss . I will Never come back here

Lovely hotel but room not as pictured
Overall this hotel is great however my main call out is that the rooms (we had 2 during our stay) were not rooms shown in any photos that exist online, which was a disappointment as had we known what we were getting we would have asked to either pay more, or picked a different hotel.
We had a superior sea view, and then moved to a king garden room for our last night. Both were very basic, very dated and in poor condition. The first had a tiny shower cubicle, the doors of which h leaked water and flooded the bathroom, the second room was a wet room with a shower curtain. When showering the toilet would also get soaked as the curtained area included the loo. The rooms were cleaned well, and the aircon was good but the rooms did not match the rest of the hotel.
Onto the good - the pool and restaurant areas are lovely, really comfy sunbeds with pillows, 2 large pools, drinks served to your bed, food in the restaurant was nice and the staff were lovely (particularly the breakfast staff).
Breakfast was nice with lots of options and they’ll also make you a takeaway coffee as well. Reception staff were always helpful and friendly and there is a resident dog called Simba who was adorable.
The only other negative is that on our last day we didn’t fly till late so stayed by the pool but there is no designated space to get ready, you have to wash at the pool shower and get ready in the toilet which was annoying.
Overall we had a great time but the room quality was a let down and I certainly wouldn’t have been happy if I was on a special holiday with my partner. There do appear to be renovated rooms judging by all of the booking sites, so I guess they’re the expensive ones however the photo shown when we booked was not what we got. Photos of the actual rooms we had don’t exist anywhere online so I feel missold.

10/10 stay at Thalassa!
Amazing experience at Thalassa. Hotel couldn’t do enough, amazing location (10 min walk from shops/restaurants), 5 mins down to the beach.
Lovely pool area which even in August wasn’t too busy, always plenty of space to sit.
Great breakfast overlooking the sea, with a great pool bar/restaurant option for lunch and dinner.
Hotel staff couldn’t do enough, and really made our trip!
