We enjoyed a week at the Thalassa hotel in late May, with lovely sunny weather, just right for a mixture of sightseeing and relaxing with a good book by the pool. The room was comfortable and clean, the restaurant staff very pleasant and helpful, and the food of a very good standard. Plenty of comfy sunbeds to choose from. A hire car would be useful, especially if going B&B and exploring further afield to places to eat in the evening. It was only a few minutes into Argostoli by bus or taxi (10 euro each way by taxi, 2 euro pp by bus). There were, however, a number of buts . . . If you are a big eater, the portion size may be disappointing, and the charge of 7 euros for each side dish (potatoes, veg) was unexpected when on half-board. Several choices were frequently unavailable (see photos), resulting in dinner becoming a rather repetitive affair. Like much of Greece, there are a lot of diseased-looking feral cats roaming around, and more effort could be put into excluding them, and the hygiene issues that result from them sitting on restaurant tables and chairs. A new wing of the hotel is currently under construction, gradually obscuring the sea view, with some noise disturbance. The room categories are confusing (superior, deluxe etc) and my side sea view superior room was possibly the worst on site, with the side sea view (if you stepped off the patio) disappearing behind the new wing. I’d requested an upper floor but was told ‘superior’ rooms were all on the ground floor. This spoilt the holiday as we could not enjoy a balcony, and had to keep doors closed because of the cat issue. The sharp-edged glass basin was a health and safety nightmare if any elderly guests had slipped on the wet bathroom floor. I’m currently waiting for a response from #Jet2 about these issues. We paid an extra £250 per person for half board, and racked up another £300 in modest water, wine and side dish consumption. Tourist tax was almost £50. If I went again, I would ensure if was an upper floor room, and book for just B&B, saving the £800 difference for a hire car and eating out at good tavernas with a varied menu.
