Porto Skala Hotel Village

We recently returned from our 4th visit to this lovely hotel. The staff are all helpful, friendly and welcoming. They go out of their way to ensure that you have the best experience. If you have any requests they will do their best to fulfil them. The location is peaceful and so relaxing with lovely views. We strolled to and from Skala in 45-50 minutes several times. It's a pleasant walk along the coast. The hotel shuttle bus is 2€ per person. The taxi fare is 8€. We stayed b&b as we enjoy eating out at different tavernas each night. The breakfast is very good with plenty of choice. The lunch at the pool bar is great, pizza, club sandwiches, salads and it's all freshly made to order. The rooms are traditional with tea/coffee making facilities. The Porto Skala pool WiFi always worked well. The air con is very efficient and there is a free safety deposit box. The mattress and pillows are extremely comfortable. This is the perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries. We hope to return soon.

Very nice and peaceful location, staff very helpful, great views! Comfy bed and pillows, enjoyed a drink on the deck with exceptional view. Clean and perfect for relaxation! We loved the place so much and definitely we will come back soon!!

We spent 10 nights bed and breakfast in the Porto Skala Hotel. It definitely has its pro's and con's. The Hotel has been rated as 4 star. It's nearer to a 2 star in my opinion. The rooms are tired and in need of modernisation. However they are clean. Our room was located next door to the cleaners cupboard which meant we were woken up early every morning be the hotel staff talking loudly and doors slamming. The breakfast was good with a decent choice. However there is only one toaster, which must be 20 years old and only holds 2 piece's of bread. So the queue for toast was sometimes a bit ridiculous. Why not just buy a couple of extra toasters!!??. There is also only 1 coffee machine, which also causes queues. If you want lunch by the pool then I'm afraid your very limited. Your choice is either Greek salad with feta or a cheese, ham and sandwich. That's literally it. No bar menu offering anything else at all. There are no shops or supermarkets nearby so this lack of choice seems daft. All drinks are served in plastic cups even if you remain at the bar which i didn't like. Also Hotel staff, when not busy loiter around the pool or bar area. They literally sit on tables smoking and looking at their phones, sometimes in groups. I found this to be unprofessional and off putting when guests are trying to relax around the pool. I've not seen staff do this at any other I've stayed in As mentioned already, there are no shops or supermarkets for at least a mile or so. However the hotel does run an excellent shuttle service from the hotel into Skala. This cost 1.50 euro each. We made use of this every day. The bar staff won't let you pay for drinks at the time of purchase. You settle you drinks and services bill upon checkout. I personally would have preferred to pay for my drinks there and then but I wasn't given the choice. The WiFi isn't brilliant either On the whole this hotel is ok but needs some TLC. I loved Skala as a place but unfortunately I won't return to this hotel.
