Thalassi

Firstly, what a great family team this hotel has, all the team go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible, everyone works hard and welcomes you at each meeting. Check in was smooth and welcoming, Eva explained everything, air conditioning and safe is additional cost along with local nightly tax. Breakfast had great choice both continental and cooked, fruit, cereal, hot and cold drinks Pool bar, open from 10ish until midnight, lunches are made fresh to order, large portions! Tasty food. Steffi who works each night is great, remembers your name and preferences, even brings nibbles. Large mythos €5, cocktails €11, spirits €7.50 All staff in the breakfast room are lovely and food just keeps arriving, all freshly cooked, used plates and tables cleared quickly, they work hard. Restaurant is a 5 min walk, perfect setting and sunsets. You can get the shuttle bus if you prefer. Buffet food is traditional Greek (as it should be) again freshly cooked local produce. Quickly refilled and abundant (try the soup) menu each night is different but limited choice. Eat as much as you like. Al a cart is exceptional, please try at least once on your stay. Delicious food and perfect setting. I really can't fault the food either buffet or Al a cart. Relaxed atmosphere and perfect hosts. Live music Monday nights and Greek night Fridays, dancers, fire, plate smashing, great night! Sunsets to die for....... bar and restaurant staff are wonderful and attentive in the right amount. Access to the beach directly from the restaurant, perfect for a beer and snack after a swim, sunbeds not on the beach but next to the restaurant with plenty of space, large umbrellas for shade at the tables from the hot sun. Now, Dimitri, the owner, he is passionate about his food, family and friends, he will happily treat you as family and make sure your stay is memorable, he will tell you about his food, farm, family and welcome you each time you see him. He is generous (also a feeder) cake, raki, lemoncello, will often appear at you table, maybe even a carafe of wine! He will always look after you. We were invited to one of his outings. We went to a monastery, then on to a local village for refreshments (which he paid for) then to his home and farm not far from the hotel. It was a lovely gesture and gave a great insight to his life, family and passion for his hotel/restaurant. Dimitri will teach you the Greek way of life, relax over food and drink, spend time with loved ones, take time to appreciate life and talk to each other. Enjoy the time you spend in this wonderful place. Downside - a little out of the way. Need to get the bus into town €2.20 each way, but service is quick and reliable. Eva has all the information you will need, and will guide you for trips, excursions or anything you may need.

Cannot praise, Eva the hotel manager enough, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is friendly extremely clean our room was large and well equipped with the room being cleaned every day except Sundays on our 2 week stay. Fresh towels regularly. breakfast is amazing with cooked options fruit and cereals. Steffi at the bar makes an evening drink enjoyable and is a bundle of fun & loves chatting. The thalassi restaurant is 5mins walkaway or you can get the shuttle bus from the hotel for free. The food is buffet although the options are limited, it changes everyday and is all cooked beautifully. You also have the option to go a la carte, but book at weekends as it gets busy. They have greek night on a Friday with traditional dancers and live music on Mondays. Demitrius works hard to make you feel you are family. We have had an amazing 2 weeks, big thankyou to Eva, Demitrius, steffi, and all if the wonderful staff

The hotel owner is called Eva, she was very rude and told me to find a new hotel when I said I didn’t like her food, not my fault the chips were cold and stale. She said it was authentic Greek cuisine, don’t be fooled , it’s watery spaghetti Bolognese , chips or rice with some peas . If you want a good experience , AVOID

What a lovely very clean hotel this is , the staff Maria , Demitri and Steff are lovely friendly people that can’t do enough for you , Steff that runs the bar is lovely and the cocktails are just amazing , the best I’ve ever had especially the strawberry mojito ❤️😉 the rooms are spotless and cleaned every other day with fresh towels . The area is very quiet with some tavernas around but we wanted a quiet holiday so for us it’s perfect , I have fallen in love with Crete and the people here ❤️ I will be back , thank you all at the Thalassi Hotel x oh the breakfast is spot on , I had a typical fry every day which was all fresh with bacon egg sausage beans, different bread cakes, yoghurt, cereals, coffee, fruit juices I certainly didn’t go hungry it was lovely x

We have just spent 11 nights in this wonderful hotel. We arrived just before midnight From the moment we arrived we were met of the coach and our bags were taken to our room for us. Inside was immaculately clean with a huge double bed, water and baguettes in the fridge. Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice. Pool was clean and no problem getting sunbeds. Good choice of food from the bar at lunch time which was reasonably priced as were the drinks. Evening meal was at the restaurant 5 minute walk away, although there is a mini bus which will take you and bring you back. This was really nice as you felt that you were going out every night which we enjoyed. Food here was of a very high standard and although not a massive choice everything was cooked well and we always had plenty. The soup every night was delicious. Demitri the owner was so lovely, checking on you and making sure you had enjoyed the food. The view from here was outstanding. Dimitri took a few of us out on a little trip on the Sunday taking us to the monastery, a local taverna treating us to coffee and Raki , then to his farm. This was very special. We 100% recommend this place we can see why people return year after year and will be returning next year.
