Talea Beach Hotel

Beautiful location we had a view of the beach from our room All I can say is the room was just a room ,the bathroom was tiny and the shower was just a tray and shower head which wasn't ideal ,I didn't feel clean at all as water was just like warm All inclusive was just Beer,wine ,soft drinks and local Ouzo and Raki..which finished at 10 ..no entertainment, not even any music apart from the beach bar Food - not good for English especially if your a bit fussy ,we found a place along the beachfront which we went to a few times as all was repetitive Think we were the only English ones I wouldn't go here again as I read reviews and photos didn't match my experience, just think it need updating

We have been spending our vacations in Greece for over 15 years, but we have never had such a negative experience in terms of accommodation. Avoid this complex if you want to have a pleasant vacation. Rooms below the limit of decency (mold, dampness, dirty extra beds, lack of TVs in some rooms, terrible sewer smell, bathroom doors that don't close)... I really don't understand how such a hotel can be given 3 stars. Poorly diversified food, the same fruits and desserts every day. Only one hair dryer in the whole hotel, at the reception and that one, woe to him. We stayed elsewhere, although we didn't receive a single penny back from Talea, so as not to ruin our vacation completely. Bitter taste and total disappointment.

The service was very good and the food was basic Greek but done very well. Greek salad, fried zucchini, tzatziki and grilled shrimp. All really good and reasonably priced. Also the tables overlook a nice sandy beach and beautiful calm waters.

It is our last day today from our 2 weeks stay and we are sad we are leaving tonight. The hotel is on a great location, 2 min walk to the beach, surrounded with a beautiful garden. It has a pool with sunbeds, small playground. Very clean. The rooms are air-conditioned. There is a TV but only few programs only available and all in German (?). The food is only fresh salads, cooked meals, few deserts, always watermelon and melon. Although the choice is not rich (don't expect "delicatessen" in the Western mean), the meals taste delicious (we do love the Greek cuisine and this is at its best). The all-inclusive service includes soft drinks, coffeee from a machine, ouzo, raki, beer and local wines, ice cream for the kids and cakes between meals. The ouzo and raki are good, the wine isn't for my taste. It is a good local place to experience the local culture and atmosphere. The staff is their best asseet. They are professional and at the same time "humans" - friendly, open, talkative, helpful. There are few things to be improved in the future: - the shower is super small and with curtains; - there is a wifi only at the reception (not a problem if you have roaming package, Cosmote provides quite good mobile internet, Vodafone GR has almost no signal, my work phone is on Vodafone UK and it couldn't even receive 2FA or make a Teams call); Nevertheless, these are small things and I would come here again. I have read negative reviews prior arrival and had lower expectations (even regretted booking this place) but it turned out a really great holiday.

Now I have to make it clear from the start that I do usually read reviews of where I am going to stay and usually come home laughing about the bad ones and in the past I have refused to write bad reviews and in place say nothing at all however to save people from the stunning disappointment that we have just suffered I feel I have to be completely honest , the talea beach hotel is a complete fraud the pictures you see are mostly of the talea beach bar which is not part of the all inclusive and is at extra cost , the all inclusive is horrific the food is certainly the worst I have ever had nothing to cater for the English as the whole place is geared towards catering for the huge numbers of Russian guests who are certainly the most ignorant arrogant and rude people I have ever met , the all inclusive beer is like fizzy dishwater and served in very small glasses , the rooms are average the pool is small and clever use of angles on photos masks this but still the poor reality is surprising , the local area is nice there's a few decent bars doing good food but again they cater for the eastern European market and there's nothing for the British , there's no TV screens anywhere if you want to watch the football you are just told there's no call for it , save your money and go elsewhere stalis or Malia are much better

We stayed there for a week and this is what i can tell you. Definitely don’t stay here for a week or even think about getting an All inclusive package. I saw comments about food being bad, I’d like to say it’s definitely ok, but this is it, it’s only ok. You will find what to eat if you are vegetarian. If you are used to 5star hotels that offer you different cuisines every night, this hotel will definitely get your hopes down. And now getting to the part why you shouldn’t choose this hotel - hygiene. The moment I saw how they wash the glasses, I rushed to the store to get my own cups. They literally just wash them with water and hands, no soap, no dishwasher - nothing is being used to guarantee the hygiene. Moving on - sheets - they are stained from before and they are only being changed every three days (I had to ask for my being changed even though it had to be changed). Also the showers flood the whole bathroom when you are showering. Don’t give me the lecture about stoping the water while shampooing cause that’s what I did. Also, keep in mind that in the pictures you can see the beach bar, this is not included in your all inclusive pack, you have to pay extra if you want sit&eat there, so as someone said this is definitely false marketing. Also sun-beds - they cost extra on the beach and if you want one by the pool you have throw your towel on, to “reserve” it at 7am. All sun-beds are fully “reserved” at 8am. One good thing - the staff is friendly, someone said they are rude. People working in the restaurant are very professional, always add up more food when it’s about to finish and they help you find a table. Overall, I wouldn’t come back to this hotel.

Do not be taken in by the beautiful pictures of dining areas these are NOT part of the hotel but of surrounding bars ! There is no beach bar , pool bar , gym or childrens pool ! All misleading FALSE advertising! You may use the pool bar & beach bar but at a cost as these are independent businesses and not part of the hotel , drinks are extortionate there . Hotel gave my sea view room I’d booked and paid for to someone else whilst we had to stay in their budget twin bed room for the fortnight! Food was cold , meat was chicken or pork which was dry cold & over cooked . Breakfast was abysmal boring and not worth getting up for . There is absolutely nothing to do of an evening , trips where ridiculously priced and mainly all involved 3 hour coach trip each way . The beach is crammed with sun beds , so unless your willing to pay to use a bed there is nowhere to sit . Do not waste your annual leave on this place , you will come home needing a holiday and possibly medication for depression

Das ist ein sehr schlechtes Restaurant schlimmer geht es nicht ich gebe 0 Sterne wenn es ginge!! Leute bitte geht nicht dahin das ist das Geld nicht wert. Die Kellner bringen dir etwas ganz anderes was du wolltest zum Beispiel ich wollte ein Oreo Eis und ein Erdbeer Eis und bekommen habe ich ein Oreo Eis und ein Vanille Eis!! Und das ist nocht lange nicht alles wie habe Getränke bestellt und über 1 Stunde auf die Getränke gewartet!!

Отель очень понравился! Номер чистый и уютный! Кормят вкусно! Отличный вид из окна! Виды шикарные, расположение отеля очень удобное! Персонал отзывчивый и вежливый! Обязательно вернусь сюда еще раз! Это было одно из лучших моих путешествий! Рекомендую, достойное место!
