Dålig personal, gamla rum, extremt dyrt spa
Fint läge nära vattnet men inte så mycket mer än det tyvärr. Frukostpersonalen var inte alls trevlig och frukten vid frukosten kändes torr och gammal. Rummen har inte renoverats på ett tag och det märks, dels i badrummet men också i allmänhet, allt känns väldigt gammalt. Vi blev uppgraderade utan kostnad vilket var väldigt bra, dock luktade det cigarettrök som inte ville försvinna fastän städerskorna försöka åtgärda problemet. AC:n hade förmodligen gjort sitt, gick inte att ha den på när man sov för den lät så mycket. Spa:t var det enda som levde upp till förväntningarna men priserna för en behandling låg lite i överkant och vi såg inte en enda person göra någon behandling.. Hotellet borde inte ha 5 stjärnor, snarare 4, mest pga rummen och personalen..

We were the first checked in after they refined and reopened. Even though still unfinished refining… Was excellent service from all of staffs. Really enjoyed staying,all smiling faces especially Katerina, Alex, Aristos,Roshan,Andrea…Agatha..pool attendants..all were very diligent and organized workers..and sorry can’t remember all staff’s name. First impression of Cyprus is really unforgettable. Would really love to stay if our holiday in Cyprus again. Hopefully more warmer weather time.. April…is not perfect weather to enjoy but good thing is quiet. Another good thing is this hotel is child-free hotel. Enjoy your staying!

the friendly and courteous attitude dealing with holiday makers in particular during the Thomas Cook Debacle, many of whom were severely distressed and in limbo . Staff would readily stop and engage in conversation about local amenity's and attractions elsewhere in Cyprus. My wife and I have been there many times and heartily recommend it to any potential holiday makers. Tony and Maureen Andover UK

Positiv : Lage des Hotels an der Bucht, Zimmer mit Meerblick, ruhig. Mittelmäßig : Frühstück immer gleich (Obst überwiegend aus der Dose), Abendbüffets ohne Highlights (aber okay), Verhalten der Kellner (wenn man sich nicht gleich am ersten Abend mit denen "verbrüdert", wird man anschließend links liegen gelassen). Negativ : Hellhörigkeit der Zimmer durch Verbindungstür (hört die Nachbarn), kleidungsmäßiges Auftreten der überwiegend britischen Rentner auf 2 Sterne Niveau.

Very pleasant stay
The hotel is about half-hour drive from Paphos airport. On arrival we heard those magical words "we have given you a free upgrade" which turned out to be a lovely sized suite with king-bed, two toilets/bathroom, living area and double sized balcony with sunbeds, table & chairs which overlooked the hotel pool and beautiful sea-view..so a good start! Hotel staff were fantastic, friendly, helpful & courteous. Pool is reasonable size with a further small round pool. Plenty of sun beds with a very friendly & helpful pool assistant. Food is buffet style with an all-inclusive option. We only had the bed/breakfast option but the evening meals looked delicious with a different themed food night each night. Nice bar with cosy outside seating in the warm evenings plus there is a beach bar during the day, half-way between the hotel and the beach with sunbeds on the lawn. Beach is very tiny & only 100 yards down from the hotel but larger beaches are easily within walking distance. Hotel is adult only and very quiet so if its a peaceful relaxing hotel you are after then I would thoroughly recommend.

Pleasant hotel, but with drawbacks
The staff are outstanding: friendly, helpful and attentive. The spa was very pleasant, while the treatments and therapists are excellent. Overall, though, I was a bit disappointed with several aspects of the holiday. First of all, the pictures are somewhat misleading. Coral Bay is a deep "U" shape. The base of the "U" is a public beach, incredibly crowded and, at times, very noisy with music etc. The Thalassa is half-way along, perched on top of, one of the arms of the "U", so the view is of the hotels on the opposite side of the bay's "arm", the public beach (to your left) and then the sea off to the right. The bay is very busy, with tour boats (loud music intermittently and annoying, "Hi-De-Hi" type MC's giving commentary) - very intrusive, but it was intermittent. I chose the hotel on the basis of the "adults only" policy, and the pictures/description that it was in a secluded location. It's certainly not a party spot, but solitude was what I was after. Make your own choice based on that caveat. Secondly, ALL meals are buffet-style. Food was pleasant (not great), varied and plentiful, but I missed having proper restaurant service (no one used the abandoned a la carte room, at the opposite end of the hotel). Rooms: pretty basic, hard/cheap mattresses, thin pillows. Poor TV reception on satellite. Grounds - very small, just the pool and two terraces. If you want just the sun, the pool and to lounge about, it's a decent place to choose.

Nice peaceful hotel just at the end of Coral Bay.
Rooms, furniture and hotel decor a little dated and tired-looking in areas. Pool area clean and well kept, enough un loungers to go around. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Hotel well situated just at the end off the beach with another beach behind. Anyone over 16yrs of age is welcome. The main street, which is 10mins walk, is hustle and bustle, especially in the evening, too loud for most. Overall nice hotel, no problems, would return no problem.

A poor dated tired hotel.Needs a refurb. Breakfast limited. Only apples and pears. No watermelon no peaches plums grapes figs etc etc in the middle of summer. And i did ask.I got a sorry not today. Kettle that didnt work. No aircon in the gym. A rusty balcony railing. Had to ask for toiletries to wash. Poor service from a poor hotel that frankly wasn't worth the money. Overall a poor choice one we shall not be repeating we got deceived by the pretty pictures that frankly do not tell the whole story about this hotel

From the minute of the (very late) arrival when they complimented us with a cheese an fruit plate waiting in the room, to the excellent advice on where to find a cozy Greek Taverna and sparkling clean facilities, this boutique hotel is a ream gem.

Just great!
Have been to the Thalassa a few times before, about 10 years ago, staying while on business. Have wanted to go back many a time and this was the first opportunity as the youngest of the family recently turned 18. The best holiday the family has had in a very long time. Super location - breakfast and out by the pool with the sound of waves in the background or take the steps down to the beach to bathe in the sea. If you dont have a car, a bus stop is around 5 minutes walk, from where the 615 takes you to the Harbour and onward connections for €1.50 pp. But there is no need to leave the Thalassa if you're on an all inclusive package. Food, made and laid out as if it were made for us and no other, gym, spa, pool, evening entertainment, bar, beach and sea are to hand or within a few steps.

boutique hotel in Coral Bay
The system for checking in at the hotel was excellent, no waiting around, instead you were given an envelope with everything you would need and asked to return the registration form at your convenience. Staff were attentive and helpful throughout and did all they could to make our stay pleasant. Front of house staff were especially helpful. It was early in the season so the hotel was relatively quiet and the fish restaurant was not operating which was disappointing. Overall felt that the quality of the food let this hotel down, it was not 5* level and seemed to cater more for its all inclusive guests (the majority). The al la Carte choice of menu was very uninspiring which is a pity in a hotel that has 5* rating. We used the spa services which were OK, not exceptional, and we felt rather pricey. this is a good place for a relaxing break but not somewhere to go if you want evening entertainment. It is also quite a way from the main Coral Bay shops and restaurants if you do not have a car.

Not as good as last year.
The hotel is clean and comfortable with plenty of sun loungers for everyone. We stayed on B&B basis again, as we did last year, but were disappointed to find that they no longer offer items such as eggs benedict or bucks-fizz for breakfast. We also dined twice in the a la carte restaurant last year and were very impressed with the menu and quality of food, but this year, having looked at the menu, we decided to go into Coral Bay for all of our evening meals. The hotel now offers an all inclusive option, but we prefer to try a variety of local restaurants, so we cant comment on the buffet style lunches and dinners on offer. Overall, an enjoyable stay, but will probably not go back in the foreseeable future.

fully inclusive request
Booked bed and breakfast and asked to upgrade to fully inclusive. Paid 100 Euros a day for a couple which seemed excessive. Asked to extend our break for one extra day and was quoted 250 Euros which was a non starter. However we did enjoy the stay and would return again at the right price.

A great stay, perfect for relaxation, recommended.
Breakfast and dinner were excellent. The high ceiling room was in a good condition and was thoroughly cleaned every day. Staff were very helpful and did all they can to make your stay ease and comfort. WiFi signal needs some improvements (Some major apps could not be used). Public bus 615 station to\from Paphos is very close to the hotel, and you don't have to wait more than 15 minutes for the bus. The sea view and the sound of waves makes the vacation perfect.

Beautiful location overlooking beach
This was our 4th visit to this hotel.The facilities are excellent and the food as always was delicious.With one exception the staff were most helpful and attentive.The hotel has undergone in the past few months changes to its accommodation and tariff, such that it has created an identity problem. It is trying to be all things to all the people. It is trying to maintain its luxury image but has introduced"an all inclusive" tariff. This has meant doing away with several suites and converting these to single rooms. In the dining room it has meant introducing buffet style lunches and dinners.A "A La Carte" menu has been introduced which is really a Table d'Hote menu, as there are only 5 choices.Whilst the quality of the food is excellent the choices are nowhere near as extensive as in previous years.The new tariff is creating anomalies.As our family booked at different times we were on different tariffs.Beacause of this one member of staff initially stated that we would have eat separately.This was unacceptable.

Coral Bay Thalassa Boutique Hotel - what a gem!!!
Short five day Easter Break on a half board basis. Best of both as Coral Bay resourt was next door and joined in with resort activities when the mood took us. Hotel is on a penisula so choice ot two bays for swimming & jet skiing. Staff are womnderful. We stayed on a half board basis and really good breakfast & dinner each day before venturing out in the evenings. I wish thay had a sister hotel in Nicosia or Limassol so that I can do a multiple town stay next year.

great views, relaxing waves
Hotel is completely surrounded by ocean views. Nearby beach is tiny--good for relaxing sound of waves right from your balcony or even laying in bed, but not enough beach to lay out on the sand and sun bathe. Rooms facing the front of the hotel gives you sunset views. Rooms facing the pool/back gives you sunrise views. Would highly recommend getting the pool/sunrise views because the front of the hotel gets noisy from the sound of a hotel generator. Cute little village nearby with some restaurants but not a lot. This hotel is good for a relaxing getaway but not for a vacation filled with activity and going out on the town. Checkin counter was just a large desk and I was a little uncomfortable because they wrote my credit card number and expiration date on a piece of paper laying out on the desk. Was glad to see the paper gone when I came down to the lobby later, but anytime my info is written down for no good reason, I get nervous. I didn't think that was necessary--they could have typed it into their computer immediately rather than writing the number down. Nearby coral bay hotel has a lot more restaurants, bigger pool and patio area, however it's also busier/noisier from more guests and doesn't have as many floors (which limits the ocean view).

Rolig, hyggelig hotell
Bodde på hotellet i 4 dager. Hyggelig og servicevennlig personale. Rent og pent, kvalitet i alle ledd. To gode strender. Obs! Kan bruke stranden og restauranter også på nabohotellet! Du får håndkle på Thalassa, spør i resepsjonen! I slutten av sesongen er det litt vel stille på Thalassa. Helt motsatt på nabohotellet, der vi også bodde i to dager. Thalassa anbefales for de som vil ha feriedager i rolige omgivelser. Buss eller grei spasertur til restauranter inne i sentrum.
