Stayed for 7 nights. Hotel was very clean throughout, staff very friendly. Small hotel so not over crowded in pool area, which was great. Hotel is a 2 minute walk to main bars/restaurants but very quiet at night. Beach is directly opposite hotel. Plenty of parking if hiring a car. Would definitely stay again.

Makis has a fab location right across from a shingle beach and very close to the village of Skala. It’s beautifully decorated and the room we had was spacious and very clean. The bed was huge and super comfortable. Sheets and towels were changed regularly and the room cleaned daily. We loved the vibe at the beach bar and their great Hugo Spritz’s. Staff were really friendly and keen to help. We had a great stay all round.

The breakfast was the only thing that was really disappointing. The breakfast room was really too hot, it would have been much better served in the bar area. The quality of food was poor, no butter (only margarine), cheap jam etc, no decent bread and what seemed to be tinned fruit salad and questionable (sometimes pink) Greek yogurt?! No selection of tea. Also too much single use plastic is used in this hotel, plastic straws, plastic jam containers etc. Our room (311) did not have a full length mirror, just 4 misplaced mirrors on the wall, too high for my friend, no mirror above the dressing table

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.

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.

Hotel had a boutique feel with beautifully appointed rooms. We were lucky enough to get upgrade so super spacious & with partial sea views. Directly opposite beach with comfortable sunbeds (would be nice if staying in hotel that there was a discount for hiring). Super friendly staff and happy to help with anything. Very convenient to walk into main Skala restaurant & bar area. Great parking facilities if hiring a car.

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 :)
