Great for retired and/or small children
Room was not very big but cosy, with pleasant balcony, a fridge, hair dryer, TV set, air conditioning (+5€/day).
Drawback: missing curtain in the shower, only one key for two people, no internet at the hotel. Breakfasts were rather boring after a few days: no fuits, no vegetables, no cakes, no joghurt, no müsli.
There was BBS World News, Euro News, two German and about ten Greek programmes on TV. Movies are often broadcast with original sound and Greek subtitles.
We appreciated a small hotel library with books in various languages left there by our predecessors.
The sea is very shallow at the Rachoni Bay, with sea-urchins everywhere, so a pair of swimming shoes is a must. We bought it (6€) in the local supermarket, which is only 15 min walk away and is said to be the greatest on the island.

Lovely hotel, peaceful surroundings
My partner and I have just returned from a wonderful holiday staying at the Hotel Coral in Skala Rachoni, Thassos. We booked with Thomsons Holidays as a last minute package deal, although this hotel can be booked independently. We stayed for a week during the school holidays from July 22nd to July 29th 2007.
THE LOCATION and FACILITIES
The hotel is literally 180 metres from the sea (less than 5 minutes walk) and is set within beautiful olive groves with a spectacular mountain backdrop. The small resort centre of Skala Rachoni is about 1km away along the seafront, and the village of Rachoni is 4km inland.
There is plenty of parking available at the hotel and a lovely swimming pool with pool bar. The swimming pool, which is a decent size, is set within the olive groves and so the surroundings are totally peaceful. My only gripe is that there were not that many sunbeds, although because the hotel is fairly quiet (even during high season), we were able to get a sunbed everyday.

Great staff
We found Ana and Panos to be very helpful, even driving us to one of the local tavernas on the first evening local beaches were very good and quite. Thanks for a good stay
