We communicate our environmental goals to the local community and our guests in order to be in harmony with this lovely environment. Our Hotel is equipped with a solar powered water heating system, which requires no electrical energy. Our garden lighting and back up energy are also powered from our Solar Power system. In Greek mythology Thalatta, also known as Thalassa, Thalath, or Tethys, was the primeval spirit of the sea. Aesop wrote fables about her in which she spawned the tribes of fish. She is sometimes considered to be the mother of Aphrodite and one of the moons of Neptune is called Thalassa. A Filipino and French couple who love the sea, created Thalatta Resort which opened in February 2007. Our vision is “ Paradise, Perfection, Purity”.
