Thalassa Boutique Hotel

We very much enjoyed our stay at Thalassas Boutique Hotel! There were so many beautiful spaces to explore in the small hotel. First, our room was beautiful, a real gem! White beams, very tall windows and a balcony all overseeing the sea, not only a fridge but also a little kitchen sink and coffee making facilities, and finally an upstairs comfortable bed besides a bathtub with a view of the sea. Second, a small excellent fish restaurant with an amazing terrasse full of white comfortable wooden chairs, benches and tables of different styles, is certainly a place to feel at home. The food matches this feeling, besides traditional Cretan and Greek dishes even sushi is served. Gourmets should know that this is the right address to become a bit adventures; for example try the seafood moussaka or the risotto with shrimp and Ouzo sauce, they are delicious! Third, the staff made us not only feel at home but seemed to have invited us as cherished guests into their historical building from the 19th century helping us to get to know their culture and the surroundings! We are specifically grateful for the organisation of transport from and to the airport as well as to Rethimno but also cultural (Knossos) and leisure trips (Preveli Beach). The best adventure we were advise to undertake nevertheless was the walk along Myli Gorge with a stop at the tavern; how beautiful! Thalassas Boutique Hotel is certainly worth visiting not only for relaxation but also for excursions and the delicious food!

The location being right on the seafront, is excellent. Although being out of the town, the walk in is easily done in 20 mins. The view of the old fort siting having breakfast, with the waves lapping the wall is just stunning as is it’s location to some of the best restaurants in the town.

I love the actual luxury you feel walking into the place. There is a pool as you walk down some stairs you see modern yet ancient building. The front desk was Dahlia and she was overjoyed to greet us and made our 3 day weekend d great. Our room is dramatic with a wall of stone and a loft that I can actually walk around !!! Then next to the bed is a tub again modern and I get it the tub ! I am 6 foot and 250 lbs. the breakfast buffet is fresh and different and Aris does an amazing job. We drink a lot of coffee and he is always available. The hotel is on the sea and we swam every day ..... you can wade out for a while before it gets deep. The shower is amazing and again the service .... we asked for a glass of milk Sunday night for some bake goods we got but all the stores were closed and no drama so quick the front desk is amazing .... they ordered a massage in my room 60 euros and he is a physical therapist and was perfect ...../

We loved the style and comfort of this beautiful hotel Everything was superb in terms of the finish of the room, and the bedding was of exceptional quality. The bath was wonderful, as was the shower . The small kitchen was well equipped. The breakfast buffet was delicious and beautetifuly presented, and the chef was welcoming The terrace was a fantastic spot to enjoy breakfast It was an absolute joy to stay at Thalassa for the night en route to the airport, and I would highly recommend it . We had a great stay . Thank you
