Thalero Holidays Center

Loved it!

We had the best stay. Comfortable spacious rooms, friendly helpful staff, beautiful swimming pool and setting. Reasonably priced tasty bar snacks. Wide variety of drinks. Ice cream that is out of this world. We come back every year. Can’t fault it.

We stayed for 11 nights in July, in two rooms. We were in the self catering section so this review will not be relevant for anyone looking into going next year. They are gradually changing the resort to be all new and modern accommodations without kitchen facilities . One block has been completed already. We had a very pleasant stay here. Basic Greek apartment accommodation, but kept clean. The pool was lovely, and it is fairly central in the small village of Lygia. We had drinks from the pool bar a few times, they seemed a little more expensive than other places we have been in Greece. They did have air conditioning in the rooms if you wanted to pay extra for it, and free WiFi available throughout the property.

My wife and I have been visiting Greece for the last 20+ years, visiting various islands. I would like to start by stating that Lefkada is a very beautiful island, and we enjoyed every minute of our visit. Regarding Thalero holiday centre, On arrival we found the proprietors of the centre very unfriendly or inviting. We were also very shocked at the state of the premises, the place is very tired and out of date, (pre-war) in need of some love and care in the form of paint! The room we were allocated did not resemble in any shape or form the pictures that were advertised on the site. For instance, to shower you had to hand-hold the shower head as it was not attached to the wall, and the shower curtain had seen better days; I have taken pictures to prove just how bad this room was. The kitchen sink plug did not stay fixed, and as quick has you were filling the sink, it was emptying! The room had no hairdryer, this is the 20th century, not the 18th century! The air conditioning was so outdated, I could blow stronger and faster cool air out than that draconian machine could!). I have spent less money on past holidays and had greater value for my money and fantastic rooms at that!!! All in all, what should have been a wonderful, long anticipated over-due holiday, turned out to be a big disappointment; we felt that we had been ‘lured’ by false advertisement, and it is no wonder we could not find this centre / self-catering apartment on YouTube. I cannot understand why this centre is still in business. JET2 need to send a representative to view these room to understand how ‘dire’ they are. It is the first time we have used JET2 and I am now loathed to use the company again
