Makis Hotel Skala

We had to pay £60 euro extra for a room with a double bed. Feels like this is a way to get extra money out of you. We were only there for two nights as part of a touring holiday.

The property is very well maintained and the superior sea view room was spacious (shower is very small) The location is excellent and just a short walk to many restaurant options The staff is less than helpful though - from our first day when I ordered a beer at the bar and was told to go get it myself from the cooler, to never being asked for our order four straight days around the pool deck (they were serving others) They charge a deposit for pool towels and charge extra for chairs at the beach Our stay was at the end of September and they also were “out of” many items at the pool bar - and it was obvious they didn’t care - the bartender even said “they are trying to save money since it was the end of the season” If they upgraded their service it could easily be a 5 star stay

A really great place to stay, from location to staff and service

Really impressed with Makis Hotel. Impeccably clean with lovely decor and small team that looked after guests incredibly well.

The hotel was conveniently located across the street from the beach and a short walk to the centre of town full of restaurants and shopping.

I was very impressed by this lovely hotel, and its pleasant and helpful staff. Although the price is at the top end of what I would ever spend, the high price is accompanied by high standards. It was very nice to be able to sit in comfort, protected by some sun umbrella shade on the beach; and a lazy luxury to order and to be brought drinks and food from the hotel to one's sun lounger, by the hotel staff. Some commenters have remarked that they think that the 1 day rental fee of 15 Euros at the beach, for a sun umbrella and 2 very comfortable sun loungers should be waived for hotel guests, by the hotel management. Speaking personally, I am very happy to pay, to lessen potential overcrowding, and to remove the awful practice of people bagging free sun loungers at 6am with their towels (often then not actually sitting on the sun loungers for most of the day!). In any event, free sun loungers, sun umbrellas, and comfortable shady areas are available adjacent to the hotel's swimming pool, which is just the other side of the (unbusy) road, and the sandy beach.

Bathroom way too small, could hardly move in the shower. Pool very dated. Breakfast room infested with wasps. People reserving sunbeds

Excellent hotel in an ideal location.

Highly recommend this hotel. Right across from the beach, pool is lovely, staff could not be more friendly and helpful, clean, modern, water in room on arrival. Super close to restaurants, bars and shops. I would definitely return.

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable rooms. Only downside is that hotel guests don’t get free use, or discount on beach sunbeds. Would come back to the hotel again.
