Porto Skala Hotel Village

I just want to say how wonderful this resort is , the staff is so nice, friendly polite & super helpful & so kind It’s the cuteness hotel in Skala, sea vie & very quiet , so peaceful and with a secret crystal clear beach , a little paradise . The restaurant offers great selections of foods , lots of Greek cuisine , very good quality . I would highly recommend to anyone to stay here

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.

This was a lovely hotel, rooms, staff, food etc., all great. But... the location is too far from any shop, bar or the centre. About 30 minutes plus, walk from the centre, which in the heat is not good for older people. The hotel runs a shuttle bus to the centre (1.50 euro each Sept 2024) but it must be booked in advance and has limited hours of operation) Also, the shuttle bus is quite high to get in and out of.  A simple folding step, as used by other vehicles would be the solution. A taxi back from the shuttle drop is 8 euro (Sept 2024) There are MANY steps from the main road to and from reception and to the rooms. The way to the beach immediately opposite the steps down from the hotel reception are steep, no hand rail and in my opinion currently dangerous. (and from comments from other guests) So, unless you are quite mobile and have a car or just want an excellent hotel, great food and pool & really friendly staff this may not be the place for you.

I stayed there with my family, no complaints about the rooms they were very clean and the housekeeping was amazing at their job , the hotel was very clean and the breakfast menu had a variety of amazing products but not everything is as it seems, if you plan on staying there keep in mind that in almost all their rooms the Wi-Fi and Data do not work unfortunately, if you want to surf the net you have to go into the pool area where the Hotel Wi-Fi is working, lastly the reception was not helpful at all when I made a complaint about the Wi-Fi , instead she said that they would check it out ( they never did) after I made that complaint she was so rude not even responding to our greetings out of spite every time we went back in our rooms from an outing. I never felt so unwelcomed before in a Hotel , please keep in mind that not all staff is rude, everyone else was amazing and welcoming, the receptionist also chose how to speak to certain guests so if you go you might have a more pleasant time than we did , the pool is very clean but be careful at the pool stairs because it is unfortunately broken ! Thank you for your time reading my review!

This was our second visit to Porta Skala village. And as soon as we walked in I knew why I rebooked. The hotel is beautiful and the staff are so friendly 😍 The breakfast is really good with a large selection of very good food. The pool is the best we have been to and always have plenty of sunbeds at any time of the day. We upgraded to a sea view room and the view was stunning. The whole hotel is really pretty little coloured houses 🏘 The beds and pillows are superb.. better than my bed at home infact. Air conditioning and safe are included and that's a welcome bonus. The shuttle bus is also a brilliant service for a very small charge. I really can't fault the hotel and will 100 % return. If I could change a couple of things it would be more choice at lunch times at the pool bar. The baguettes are delicious however the same every day. Also I'm not that keen in everything on a tab. You can pay every day .. but we have a budget and felt sometimes the tab ran away with us 😕 But over all this is a lovely place to stay.. one of my favourites in skala ♡
