Paspalis Hotel - (Accommodation in Skala)

Mike P           

We returned from 2 weeks at the Paspalis yesterday and found it very good indeed. Rooms were spacious, with fridge, and spotless. Cleaned every day . There are no, and I repeat, no hidden charges. Free breakfast is basic continental fare. If you want anything extra such as yoghurt and fruit, full english etc, you pay for this at the time of purchase and prices are clearly up on the wall in the breakfast room. (Dead cheap - full english 4 Euros - about 2.50ukp)
There is a full list of 'optional' extra charges in the room. These are for the safe which I think was 18 Euros for 2 weeks. Air conditiong was 5 euros per day. All clearly laid out and you just settle up when you check out. Any post about the owner checking fridges is just a load of old bollocks. The sunbeds and pool are free for anyone to use, resident or not, and half the time you woukdn't know who was a resident and who wasn't. We only ate in the hotel restaraunt one evening. Yes, Nick the owner is a bit aloof but as someone else said, he's actually quite a shy bloke, and if it looks like he's always wandering around that's because he likes the place to be tidy and look attractive. you never even see so much as a chair out of line in the bar or taverna area if a tabkle is vacated, it is straightened immediately. he doesn't bother guests at all, though will talk if he is talked to.It's his and his staff's attention to this sort of detail that makes the place nice to stay in. we found it very clean, efficiently run and we really liked it. Only minor gripe was that the pool needed the filter running more due to the insects drowning in it but that was really only one or two late afternoons. All in all, a very nice hotel and we'd reccomend it without reservation. Good staff, good food (we ate their at lunchtime most days) and nicely laid out. You will not be dissapointed, I promise you. Book it. Book it now

The best we ate at in Skala, returning three times in 2 weeks. Superb food, superb location overlooking the sea and good service. And very reasonable prices. Highly reccommended
