Porto Skala Village Hotel

"Had a lovely 2 weeks in Skala staying at the Porto Skala Hotel. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the rooms are cleaned every day. Bedding changes every 2 days. Breakfast is nice and caters for everyone Pool area is fabulous and never a problem finding a sun bed. Towles for the pool are provided. The staff are amazing g especially Evelyn and Marianne and c cant do enough for you. We arrived late at night and they had saved a cold buffet for us which was so welcome. The only reason for the 4 stars is the distance from town. Although there is a shuttle bus which runs every half hour for 2 euros each it was just a little to far out for us. All in all lovely place and staff and really enjoyed our stay."

"You couldn't say that this hotel is the most contemporary around but its getting all the important things right. We stayed for 7 nights in August. They don't charge for the aircon and the unit we had worked very well. Most important in August! The room was very clean and cleaned daily. Everything worked fine. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, we had a side view of the ocean. Because of the postioning of the rooms I think most of the rooms have some kind of ocean view. The pool is excellent as it's very large and it never seemed to get busy. So people were not putting towels on sun loungers early in the morning to reserve them. I noticed too that they had cleaners every morning washing down the loungers. Overall the hotel is very clean. The only negative for me was the breakfast. The area where the tables is set up is in full sun which even at 8am is pretty strong, some kind of awning to tone that down a bit would be good. The breakfast buffet was adequate, all the usual suspects but most days we skipped it preferring to go into town to a bakery. They provide a shuttle which runs each hour to the town, we used that most evenings even though we had a car so I could have a couple of beers. There is very good snorkelling opposite the hotel via a small rocky beach from the corner of the car park. Amazing amount of fish to see! Skala is closeby and there are lots of good restaurants and bars. I've just booked to go to Porto Skala again next August. When I looked at hotels and holidays around the same price range, there really wasn't anything that looked as good."

"Our stay here was mixed. On the positive side it’s a lovely looking complex , lovely pool area and beautiful sea views. The beds were the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in in Greece. On the downside the rooms although clean were very scruffy and dated. The tv reception was awful and the WiFi in the rooms was not good. The breakfast was very disappointing. The hot food was cold and not a lot of choice. There was a poor choice of cereals and bread and very little fruit. The feta cheese ran out on day 3 of our holiday and was not replaced. One of the coffee machines was broken and the queues for the remaining machine was so long. They could have provided some instant coffee sachets as there was separate hot water. It was 25 minutes walk to 2 lovely restaurants but the walk into Skala was at least 40-50 minutes. The shuttle was efficient and cheap. To sum up if the breakfast’s were improved and the rooms were updated I would stay again despite the distance from amenities."
