Welcome to San Stefanos (NW Corfu) > Where to stay

New to SS - Staying at the Thomas Bay

(1/4) > >>

Hello to you all,

I have been looking around the site for a few days and thought I would join up.

My wife and I have booked to come to San Stefanos for the first time this year and we will be staying at the Thomas Bay Hotel in August.

This is not our first time to a Greek Island; we have been visiting Zakynthos for the past 12+ years, most recently staying in Kalamaki. 

I would appreciate any information for 1st timers to SS and more specifically on the Thomas Bay Hotel itself, the reviews on the internet (mainly Trip Advisor) are varied, it seems as though the room you get can make a big difference to the holiday experience.

Low floor, facing the dining room = bad holiday
High floor, facing the pool = excellent holiday.

Also, the time of year seemed to affect the reviews. Those who stayed in the peak seemed to give the best reviews (which is good for us), but those who stayed later in the year (2011) suggested that standards slipped a lot.

As I said, any and all thoughts, opinions and facts are welcome...


Thanks.

Hi lph316

I've never stayed at The Thomas Bay Hotel but have been in there on many occasions.

One thing I have noticed is that a small stream runs down one side of the hotel (to the left of it as you look at the front of the hotel) which goes down into the sea.

At night time frogs can be heard quite loudly and many accommodation rooms face onto this stream.  If I were you I would try to avoid these rooms or get some very good ear plugs.

The resort itself is fantastic, friendly, with many tavernas and bars, you'll really enjoy it and I'm sure once you've visited you'll want to return.

We went to ss for the 1st time last year and stayed at the Athina,we used to go to the Thomas Bay for quiz nights,this was in August,we really enjoyed the night as half way through the waiters would give a floor show of greek dancing,the part i hated though was having to use the downstairs toilets,they really stank,but we had a look at the menu whilst we were there and that looked really good,so if your staying there you wont need to use these toilets,just pop back to your room :).We are going back to ss in July this year,its a really lovely,relaxing place,so hope you enjoy

Think the stream is on the right as you face the hotel from the road?

Waspman:
I stand corrected Rover, the stream is to the right of the hotel viewed from the front.
