The location of this hotel is it's main attraction
The hotel is in need of some TLC. In an area where water is precious the showers seem to do more for cleaning the bathroom than cleaning oneself. The beds seem to be on the hard side. The rooms are very basic in terms of the fixtures and fittings and need a more professional finish for the price. However, what the hotel lacks in terms of it's physical condition the staff more than make up in their helpfulness and friendliness. There is a lot of variety in room size, so most needs can be accommodated and the staff do adjust to suit the guests' needs if they possibly can.

Island Wedding Hotel stay
The outside facilities of this hotel is perfect with a pool, beach side restaurant bar and its own beach beds and umbrellas.
All staff without exception were wonderful, friendly and genuinely wanted us to have a good stay at the hotel.
An easy walk into Kamari finds the restaurants, restaurants and shops.
Breakfast is basic, but lunch menu offers everything you need and the Greek Salad is one of the best I've eaten.
Our room was immaculately clean but fittings are tired. This didn't impact our stay though as we didn't spent that much time in our room. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious.
The hotel is in the flight path for inbound flights so planes fly quite low throughout the day. This is literally for about 10-15 seconds at a time so actually no big deal.
Pool area beautiful. Staff really nice but the room really sucked. Bathroom shower was so small everytime i turned the curtain moved and my shower would hose down the toilet area.
Planes fly overhead and are loud as hell. Only one night there or i would left early.
I'll start with the good things :
1. Nice seeming pool.
2. Nice stuff, always helpful, smiling and good attitude.
The bad:
1. Breakfast Is very basic and it took time to bring new stuff if it was missing, like water for instance.
2. Very very basic room.
No wifi, small TV with very bad quality.
WiFi was mostly near the reception.
I've expected to get a lot more for the price I paid.
We were happy to leave for our next destination.
I'm sorry giving this not nice comment but this was our experience.
It's close to the restaurants in the area but you have to walk on the beach for 5 min.

Right on beach with pool
Reasonable facility. Only a short walk to Kamari Beach. But right under airport landing path.
I would never stay here. I unfortunately prepaid as part of a package but instead of 4 days I left after a few hours. It should only be rated 1 star but it's saving grace is the pool. The rest of the property is horrible. Wifi is only available in the lobby and it's weak. The receptionist even told me to use the adjacent hotel's wifi. She showed me 6 rooms and suites and they all sucked. The bathroom is scary. Never again.

beautiful santorini
We arrived early and was accommodated. The social areas were beautiful. Breakfast everyday, very nice. (I would have liked to have had access to coffee earlier).
The staff was wonderful. We became friends with the fantastically helpful, pleasant and kind Maria at the reception desk. She gets 10 stars!!!!!!
Our first room was a bit old and very small. Maria relocated us to another room which was very nice. The views from all the rooms was breathtaking! If you go, get up and catch a sunrise!!
Very easy walk to beach road, the down town area. We fell in love with Thalassa and Santorini!!! I will be returning!
great hotel nice charming people. great pool and location. the wifi isn't working beside reception . the showers are too small even in the superior rooms.

Beautiful beach location
The hotel staff were helpful. This was a difficult hotel to find from the bus stop. No one seemed to know it and the street had no name. Once we were there it was great. Wonderful beach location. Main problems were very loud jets landing and long way from bus.
Room was VERY basic. Bathroom was absolutely tiny - you had to step into the shower to open the door to get to the toilet. The hotel is situated at the end of the airport runway, and the reception staff are less than willing to help with anything from local information to locating a plug for the bathroom sink! High recommend NOT staying at this hotel! It is NOT a 4 star anything!
On arrival I was gone an upgrade to my room which was a lovely start. Maria, the hotel receptionist, gave me a tour of the hotel and its facilities and introduced me to the staff and some of the guests. The room was very nice with views of the sea and a huge balcony. The staff at the hotel were so friendly and accommodating. There were always enough sun beds Avalon,e by the pool and on the beach. The beach, however, is built on volcanic rocks so there is no sand which made getting in and out of the sea a bit hairy but definitely worth it! The food in the hotel was lovely and medals and snacks were available throughout the day and evening. Maria, goes out of her way to ensure that all guests are happy and advised on excursions and books them on your behalf. She even tracked down my sunglasses that I left on a tour bus!
We made the big mistake of booking this hotel without seeing reviews and this was the the worst decision ever! The night before our arrival I emailed the hotel to confirm our pick up shuttle and to my shock I got an email from the hotel saying that they were overbooked and booked us for different dates, so they will be moving us to their sister hotel. We were promised an upgraded room for this inconvenience and assured that our stay would be very good. What was even more disappointing was that the sister hotel was in a totally different location than where we had wanted to be. We arrived at this other hotel and escorted to our room. It was not a room but a jail cell as it had no windows! The bathroom had half used toiletries still laying around and there was a huge yellow stain on the bed sheet. What kind of an upgrade was this? I immediately emailed the reservation representative expressing my distress over the situation and said that we either wanted to be moved back to our original hotel or wanted an immediate refund. I got no response. Long and short of it is that This hotel has done this to many of their guests ( we found out later after reading all the reviews). Please stay away from booking with this hotel even if you are offered the rooms for free!
When we first arrived at Thalassa we thought we had made a terrible mistake as it appeared that we were in the middle of nowhere. This turned out not to be the case. The hotel is located a short stroll along the beach from Kamari which had plenty of shops and restaurants, as well as a bus to other parts of the island. The pool and the dining area were fantastic, really relaxing and next to the resort's private stretch of beach.
It is located just of the airport piste. Airplanes are flying just above your hotel which creates enormous noise. In addition, hotel is located in the worst part of the Kamari beach.
We spent a fabulous 4 nights here in May. First impression was "Wow!", then felt very slightly let down by the room, although it was spotlessly clean, just not quite as highly appointed as the pictures appear. That said, it had everything we needed, good water pressure & plenty of hot water. The pool area is stunning. But it is the staff that really make this place special. They could grace any 5* hotel in the world. They are all so very willing, even eager to do anything they can to make sure you have a great stay.
i had an overnight stay in santorini and selected this location b/c of its proximity to the beach. it has a beautiful pool with direct access to black sand beach, with spectacular view of the sunrise. the staff was very friendly and helped answer questions with a smile. the biggest downside was the room itself. the furniture is extremely old, including the bed, mattress, sheets and towels. the standing shower was quite annoying b/c the curtain would stick to your body and did not keep the water in the proper place so the floor was soaked. with a major upgrade to the rooms, the place has potential to be much better.
Hotel is nice and clean. Location is good (even if it's hard to get there). This is one of the only hotel located directly on the beach. However, this is not as beautifull as the pictures. Overall, great experience. If I go back to Santorini, however, I would stay in Oia (not Thira, not Kamari).

Huge dissapointment. Find another place.
I don't usually leave comments on hotel stays but I think this time it's worth it. The hotel was really disappointing. It is a run down hotel which urgently needs an update, a thorough refurbishment. It is evident that the hotel was a beautiful hotel probably thirty years ago, however, it is in the same conditions as it was then. It's not that it is dirty but that the whole thing is really old. A huge disadvantage is the location. It sits just besides the airport so you hear really loud planes taking off and landing. There are charters coming in the middle of the night two or three times as well as during morning and afternoon. I don't think the hotel is worth the price they charge. I am sure you can get more for your money elsewhere. One more dissapointment was the pool. It is salty water which my kids really disliked.
A positive thing is their staff. They were nice and make an effort to make us happy. However, in summary, I would never recommend it. Santorini is a magical place and the hotel where you stay should be special. I am even thinking to go back to enjoy Santorini without the dissapointment of staying in such a run down place.
Facilities: Nice ; Value: Affordable; Service: Courteous; Cleanliness: Tidy;
The hotel is close enough to Kamari but also far enough away from the noise - excellent beach views and pool surroundings
We only stayed for one night, but we had a really good experience here. The buffet breakfast was included and was good, and the hotel service was great. Our room was very nice a big, with a balconey. The only negative thing I could say about it is that it's just beyond the Kamari beach boardwalk, and to get there you have to walk along the beach a bit, and the walk isn't very enjoyable because the beach is full of rocks. But it does have it's own beach right in front of the hotel and free lounge chairs and umbrellas - very nice beach. And the pool is huge!
