This is an older style budget hotel that is close-ish to the town of Skala (5min drive). There is no parking on site however there is a car park across the road, and you will need a car, though I think the hotel has shuttle services to town. Reception staff are friendly. Our room was high up and had a good view, however it was on the small side and was beginning to feel a bit tired. The pool is the highlight of the hotel, and pool towels are provided in the room. The pool area is large with plenty of sun beds. The pool bar serves ok food and drinks. Breakfast options are good but repetitive. There is an evening buffet for EUR22 per person that is ok if you want a change from taverna food. Across the road, through the car park, is a little rocky beach that is good for snorkelling. Overall we had an ok stay.
This is an older style hotel and it shows. The bathroom became a wet room, the rooms are on the smaller side, and the air conditioner took a while to cool the room. Though the reception staff are friendly, the rest are still learning.

A friendly staff. The swimming pool was big which meant I could swim without being bombarded by children playing. The village like setup was very pleasant. The breakfast was excellent
The pool closed a 7:00 pm which I thought was much too early for adults and I believe it opened at 9:00 in the morning,as a person who likes an early morning swim, it was disappointing. The breakfast was good but they need a canopy to shade the main dining area, as there were limited shaded tables where everyone wanted to sit.
Though the staff were friendly I sensed an overall discontent,though I could be very mistaken

The only positives are the rich breakfast (even though it’s the same every day, for 3 nights that’s not a problem but it might be for longer), the courtyard, and the nearby beach – but only if you have a spirit of adventure. The beach is extremely small, surrounded by rocks, and gets crowded with just 6 people, but the water there is gorgeous, perfect for snorkeling. To reach the beach, you go down a few forgotten steps, across an abandoned-looking piece of land, then over a dangerously shaky wooden bridge (also forgotten by time), and finally you either have to jump off a rock or struggle down some improvised wooden planks. For us it was fun, but it’s definitely not for everyone.
First of all, congratulations to the photographer! They did an excellent job. From old rooms (really old, not just 10 years old!) they managed to make everything look much nicer, newer, and cleaner. The courtyard immediately catches your eye – it’s truly beautiful, with a clean pool, brightly colored cottages, flowers, and, for the most part, cleanliness. But once you enter the rooms… the first thing that hits you is the smell of old, and then you notice where it comes from.
The bathroom desperately needs a complete renovation from the ground up. The sink faucets have chipped paint, the bathtub (where a person can barely stand inside) has stains and lots of disgusting build-up in the joints, the grout between the tiles is full of dirt and deposits, and the bedroom furniture is dusty. The lack of mosquito nets is a huge downside, because at night you can’t sleep with the AC on – it blows directly onto the bed.
The private parking lot is FULL of rusty nails. Even though I saw someone else complain about this in the reviews, I thought, “Surely they’ve fixed it, this is very dangerous!” Well, they didn’t care. Not after the first review, not even when I personally went to the reception to report it. (The lady at the reception was nice and said she would pass on the message, but probably had no one to pass it on to.)
Wi-Fi is nonexistent, just like the signal in general. Neither in the room nor in the restaurant. The location is fine only if you have a car; otherwise, it’s pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
I honestly don’t understand how this place has such a high rating and 4 stars!! It’s worth a maximum of 2 stars. MAXIMUM!
