Scene
Spacious, village-like hotel with a fun, laid-back atmosphere
This family-friendly hotel offers a fun, inviting experience for adults and kids alike. Guest rooms and facilities are spread throughout the property in different buildings, creating a village feel, though the pale pink concrete buildings are a bit dated and lack a Mediterranean quality that many nearby hotels possess. The hotel common areas are open and sizable, so much so that some spaces, like the front lobby, actually look somewhat sparse. Large modern paintings cover the walls and the decor is mostly in muted warm tones. Paving stones cover the ground and walkways throughout the property, and are accompanied by manicured hedges and small palm trees. Most people spend their time relaxing in one of the various pools. The many sporting facilities and the constant performances and activities contribute to the lively energy that permeates Hotel Thalas Club.
