Week at Makis hotel

Reviewed By louisdamlouis

Have stayed in skala most years since we discovered it 7 years ago. Last year we stayed by Makis hotel and it looked good so when it came up on our holiday search we booked. Our room was modern, clean with free air con and safe, a first for our holidays in Greece, breakfasts were excellent, buffet style with lots of choice, and great view to sit and eat. Staff were all friendly and accommodating. Will be returning.

lovely place to stay

Reviewed By kflear

apartment had great views and very well located near the beach and supermarket. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The owners were very friendly and the roses they grow in the garden are gorgeous. They couldnt do enough to help us. The location was good as being out of town a bit, but still some good restaurants to walk to nearby.

Really not 5 star!

Reviewed By jellybeans66

This is not a 5 star hotel, more like a 3/4 star. Firstly the pool area is lovely, although for a 5 star hotel, I would expect cushions on the sun loungers. Decking is rough in places and needs attention, and the toilets by the pool area are disgusting by the end of the day. The all inclusive food is really very poor, all lukewarm and repetitive choices. Juice at breakfast watered down, we just expected more from a 5 star hotel. Only fish on offer was frozen fish fillets in same dill sauce every night. Salads were good though. Rooms aren’t great, old dark brown furniture and curtains don’t fit windows, only cover half way across. Cheap plastic furniture on balcony. Lumpy pillows. Shower gel and shampoos not replaced during our stay, nor tea and coffee. Cheap plastic chairs and tables in the restaurant, again, not a 5 star experience. Staff make this hotel, restaurant and bar staff are all very nice, helpful and kind. The entertainment was dreadful, same man and woman every night massacring songs with a euro beat as they dance along, the little children liked it, everyone else we spoke to thought it was awful and would have preferred a Greek experience. If you’re looking for a hotel with nice pool and are happy to get a taxi to Skala for meals, it’s a good choice, but garden rooms are definitely not a 5 star experience. Plenty of other lovely places on the island, which is truly spectacular and beautiful with lovely people.

At Asteris Hotel, your comfort and satisfaction come first, and they look forward to welcoming you to Skala.

Good Quiet Scala Stay

Reviewed By Skygrazer

The hotel has a classy look and feel. I was in a very large double studio room overlooking the stunning day and night time panoramic views over the coast to Scala beach. Rooms are cleaned (each day) and in great condition as per pictures. You'll have abundant towels/ towel changes and free pool towels. There is inclusive air conditioning and safe in the room. There was work being carried out on new black on my first day. After that it was quiet. Lots of flowers, bird life and butterflies and other insects in vicinity. House martins do nest on site and amazing to see them swooping about. Other guests are very friendly and talkative. there were several returning couples. Breakfast is an excellent buffet inc. full English, fresh fruit and continental selections. There is a good varied continental/ Greek a la carte/ 3 course menu in the evenings. Reception service was efficient. Be aware that there was no entertainment in the hotel (as of early June 2022), so top tip would be to get the free 7pm or 8pm shuttle bus into Scala in the evening. You'll be faced with a €7 taxi fare to return each evening which if fine if you can share. there is entertainment at the very large hotel immediately next door. Sadly only found this out half way through my stay. Guests from the Asteris are welcome to go next door to enjoy the entertainment. Similarly the last free shuttle back from the beach will be mid afternoon/ 2pm so get an earlier shuttle to Scala. I'd highly recommend this hotel for a quiet family or couples break. If I travel independently to this island in future I'd likely stay in or walking distance to a main resort centre. I felt cut off here with no car. Thus, 3 due to the location and lack of entertainment. Would have given 4 Star (Very Good).
