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.

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 Skala hotel. Nice beach area with loungers that require a fee but are serviced by hotel staff with access to a full bar and menu. Quality of drinks and food including breakfast were perfectly adequate but not the best to be found in the area. But staff, location, & ambiance were all excellent. Room was nice with a comfortable bed, subtle decor, and a lovely porch area that we left alone so the birds (house martins) could feed their babies. Great pool and bar area for relaxing.

This property should have a higher star rating. It is close to the beach and several good restaurants. The staff at the hotel were so accommodating and just wonderful. I will definitely go back!

Ottima posizione con vista mare e accesso diretto alla spiaggia attrezzata. Struttura recente nel complesso ordinata e pulita. Buona colazione. Piscina non tanto grande collocata in un bel contesto con sdraio, lettini ed ombrelloni ed ottimo servizio bar. A pochi passi da ristoranti bar e negozi di vario genere. Ampio parcheggio a disposizione dei clienti. Carina la stanza con terrazzo loggiato con comode poltroncine.

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.

We had a lovely time at Makis Hotwl and would definitely recommend. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The facilities are nicely laid out and well maintained. We attended with a group and it worked so.well for all of us - late nights swims, great breakfast, rooms were nice, nice pool and pool bar. The whole package. Only reason we didn’t get be 5 stars across the board was that is is not a five star hotel - but an excellent choice regardless.

Having been to the Makis as a child with my family, returning nearly 20 years later having been largely to the Anassa (Klonis) hotel in Skala for many years, the Makis was a lovely stay. The room was clean and modern with a good bathroom. The staff were fantastic, The breakfast was great every morning (choice of cooked items which not many places do included), Atmosphere was relaxed and lovely. Skala is and always will be a fantastic place to visit for a holiday and refresh but it’s the local people who complete it. Thank you to everyone at the Makis :)

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

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

No welcome drink on arrival. Its a very clean hotel, opposite the beach and 5 mins walk to the village shops and restaurants etc. Kettle in the room but you only get 2 coffee satchets and 2 teabags on the first day. No refills! Apparently if you get a room with a coffee maker the refills are 2 euro per cup! A good choice of cold food at breakfast and a mediocre cooked buffet but the buffet food is sometimes cold, mostly barely warm and NEVER hot. Take your earplugs as the fridge makes a racket when it kicks in or turns off on the thermostat and if it's windy the room door rattles. I stayed in this hotel last year and had the same room with the same broken toilet flush and dodgy rotating towel hook! The weird bathtap in the shower cubicle cuts down the useable space by about 20%, impossible to bend and wash your feet. Now sporting 3 stars, up from 2 last year, so the tourist tax is 5 euro per night. Would I stay again? Maybe.
