“The hotel was wonderful, there is a lovely swimming pool and pool bar. The staff were always friendly and loved the children. Even though "Grandfather & Grandmother" didn't speak a lot of english, it was lovely how they always tried to have a chat with us and the children whenever we saw them. The food at night was homemade and authentic, delicious! The hotel is only a short walk to the beach and town centre of Matala. We would definitely stay there again if we were visiting Matala again.”

Offering sea views, a garden and free WiFi, Thalasso resort offers accommodation ideally set in Matala, within a short distance of Matala beach, Red Sand Beach and Kommos Beach.
“The apartment’s location is outstanding - right on the beach! The downstairs apartment is very stylish, clean and comfortable. Perfect for a couple. Be aware there isn’t any parking and best to drop bags off at end of road and park in paid parking nearby. Approach the accommodation from the beach-front walkway as we had trouble locating it from the pedestrian-only village. We got locked out when the wind blew to door shut - the lovely owner had to drive a half hour from his home to let us in. Separate the front door key from the key-card to prevent this. This really is a special place, book it if available.”
