Beautiful location, but don't stay here.
Posted 13 Jul 2017 on HotelsHave to say that i'd read mixed reviews of this hotel previously but decided to see for myself. Quite honestly i wouldn't bother to return. Whilst the hotel itself is quite old it is being improved, that said my main issue with the hotel is the lack of service and the rules! This hotel could easily be great if the management made some simple changes, firstly remind the staff that it's their job to look after guests. I asked for an iron and was told i had it wasn't possible! It turns out there's one iron available for the entire hotel and it's only available at set hours. I'd have put my shirts in for pressing and paid but the hotel doesn't offer a laundry service!!! Then there's the rules that make you feel like a teenager at a youth hostel! The fact they have an outdoor swimming pool is pointless as you can't actually enjoy it. There's no drinks service there and you can't wear swimming shorts! For some reason the hotel are also extremely forceful about the fact that you must get changed in your room before going the pool (no idea why). WiFi requires reception to produce a print out which they seem to do reluctantly, then once you have it the WiFi is pretty poor anyway.
I honestly think i've had better service in a youth hostel!

Everyone was lovely, hotel, pool and food really enjoyable. Breakfast buffet was a real treat, way better than most

A pleasant hotel with a wide selection of spa facilities just a 10 min walk or short drive to an array of sea front bars and restaurants. Hotel very clean and good service but could do with updating.

Nice hotel with great facilities!
Posted 8 May 2016
Pros: Facilites, pool, sauna, Hammam
Cons: The comfort in room. It is not very nice.
Location: Banyuls is a very cute little town. Wine tasting is a must!
Thalacap is a nice hotel but the rooms are very basics. The restaurant was nothing special and quite pricey for what it is. We ended up eating in town. The breakfast was really nice. The facilities are great and we really enjoyed our stay. I would have more in the gym as it is extremely basic again. The instructor Lionel was very friendly and really helpful.
The Wifi was a joke and each time you have to enter the code, it wasn't working all the time.

overnight stay
Posted 23 Aug 2015 on Hotelsinteresting hotel halfway between a rehabilitation centre and a spa. We were only staying one night, but it could not be described as atmospheric or intimate. The decor was tired and in need of updating, especially the lifts, corridors etc. Dark corridors lit only by timer lights, and if you were to slow getting to your room you were plunged into darkness. Wonderful views over the bay, friendly reception staff.

Disappointing Hotel
Posted 21 Aug 2013
Cons: restaurant staff
although I had a previous good experience with it, this one turned to disaster. The reception women were fine, but the restaurant staff left a lot to desire. One waiter, in particular, in his early 40's was rude, and tried to up my bill with a magnum wine, I never ordered.

Disappointing experience with the Hotel
Posted 20 Aug 2013
Cons: restaurant staff
terrible experience with Restaurant staff, 2 waiters in particular, a young woman, who could improve her customer relations skills, and a male waiter(38 - 40 y.o.), extremely nasty, and on top of that tried to overcharge us, by including a magnum bottle of wine we did not order. I stayed there once before, and it was fine. But, not this time, although, the staff at the reception was fine, the young women working there were very pleasant.
I would not recommend this place, because, one time could be fine, and next time awful.

Mixed Feelings
Posted 2 Jul 2013 on HotelsThe hotel is in an absolutely beautiful town. It is a bit of a hike up a hill from the town center. We were there for the town, not the hotel's spa, and so that aspect was lost on us. It just lent the hotel a funny chemical smell. The staff were generally helpful, but the place wasn't the best fit for tourists looking for the Banyuls-sur-Mer experience.
