A surprise holiday to celebrate a significant birthday. The hotel is in a very beautiful location, lovely sandy beach with allocated Sun loungers. The bar areas are good too, comfortable seating shaded by trees. We were horrified to find our accommodation was at the top of a very steep hill, it couldn’t have been higher or further away from the beach, bar and restaurant, we asked, if we could be moved to a more suitable bungalow, better for our needs as an older couple, we could if we paid an extra £1000 for the week, too much for us. This meant our entire week relied upon the use of golf carts , essentially rather than enabling us to have a good time, we felt disabled and trapped. Waiting in the heat to be taken to breakfast ( missed twice) and then again on an afternoon was unpleasant. The restaurant, or as we called it school/ staff canteen, was awful, children running amok, noisy, untidy and unpleasant, on the first evening, we asked for a glass of wine to be told we had to buy bottles! As we drink different wines, this cost was £50, we made those bottles last 4 nights. We did find out 3 days in, that half bottles were available. The food was generally cold and unappealing, what wasn’t eaten on an evening, was served up at breakfast, carrots and sweetcorn, eggs baked in eggplant and various guises of potatoes. Fried eggs only available twice a week, in rotation with pancakes 3 times and omelettes twice. There was a barbecue one evening, but watching the cooking of it, same tongs used for cooked and uncooked meat, put us off. Plus point we lost weight! It says in the description there is a mini market, there isn’t and our room tea tray wasn’t replenished all week. The young members of staff worked hard and were lovely. We will still visit our lovely Thassos, but never stay here, my significant birthday will never come again and the management here couldn’t care less whether you have a good holiday or not.
