Giving this thread a kick to say how good I thought the Thetis Palace was. Lovely studios with a nice pool and gardens in a quiet location less than 10 mins walk from village centre and fabulous beach. Perfect. Couldn't find anything to fault, really.
The studios are exceptionally large, with a big balcony overlooking the pool, and views to the sea. Well equipped and furnished (electric kettle, sofa/sofa bed, lovely thick firm mattresses) Nice big bathroom, with bath (some people might like a plug for that Spiro!) and a powerful shower, no hot water shortages day or night. Big bonus for me was the mosquito netting on bathroom window and patio doors, and an unusual feature is a lift (very handy with heavy luggage up 3 storeys) There is a very nice bar by the pool with a good selection of food available. Lots of very comfy chairs to relax in. All very clean and tidy, a very pleasant place to be.
Spiros and Vasso (for full story on that, just mention where you are staying to Olga in Olga's Travel - nudge, wink!!) are both very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. I would recommend the Thetis Palace to anyone, a lovely place to stay.
To keep things fair, I would also recommend Olga's Travel over Spiros's Arillas Travel which they obviously encourage you to use. Olga's is nicer, some trips are a bit cheaper (horse-riding is one) and the gossip is definitely better!!
