Lovely location and on the whole a good holiday . Rooms basic but had everything you needed , clean and fridge was very useful . Walls are thin and other peoples alarm clocks , coughing and nocturnal actives unfortunately can be heard quite clearly. Nice balcony with a limited sea view , not private though , no screening so overlooked and not the place for private conversations , the guests next door smoked so we chose not to sit out when he was out or we found ourselves smoking it for him . Great breakfast lots of choice and earlier start if leaving for the day . Evening meal we tried once , chose not to again , not great €20 a head ( we should have asked price first ) if you can eat a lot great value but if one plate enough then expensive , overcooked and swimming in oil . Shuttle bus very handy but we enjoyed the walk , approx 5000 steps each way and about 30 mins . Beach opposite one on the left not for the faint hearted , wooden steps collapsed and so a wooden pallet was the way up and down , other side better as steps most of the way down not for anyone with mobility issues or bad knees . Snorkle and mask and beach shoes essential , the sea is spectacular . The pool at the hotel was clean and sparkling when we stayed . Get the beer from the bar fridge not on draft it’s colder about € 4.50 for just under a pint . The supermarket down the road €1:60 hence why the room fridge handy . Lovely tavernas in Skala well worth exploring . Beach further down beautiful . Staff didn’t volunteer information on check in so do ask everything you can think of . You buy anything at the bar , shuttle bus or water from the hotel it goes on your room so if you need to keep check on spending you can pay the day after each time . Just be aware on check out room tax €3 a night , not a lot but we hadn’t know about it , probably in the small print . I’m sure bags would be collected from your room as steep slopes and steps to rooms but again ask this isn’t offered on check out . On the whole a lovely week but will be honest won’t stay there again .
