The staff were A-MAZING. The owner is on site and you can tell their attention to detail. The rooms were clean and updated. Grounds were beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The proximity to the beach was fantastic and the hotel provided umbrella service at the beach as well as food and drink service to the beach. Beach was great and there is a water sports company close by so my kids enjoyed that. The kids enjoyed the hotel pool. Hotel bar provided a variety of food and drink options, including fresh, healthy smoothies and yummy, milk shakes. Back to the staff...they were super friendly and accommodating. We were in a jam and they went above and beyond to help us out. This is a well run hotel and just made our vacation that much better.

The room keys and safe need updating.

We had a lovely stay at Makis Hotel in Skala. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and within easy walking distance of many charming restaurants and cafés, which made evenings especially enjoyable. The bedroom was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. That said, the layout felt like it may have been designed by a man: there was no space to hang long dresses and no full-length mirror, which was a bit of a shame. The pool area and pool bar were great: a relaxing space to unwind and enjoy the sunshine with a drink and some lovely food.

One point worth noting is that hotel guests are required to pay for sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach. It felt a bit disappointing given you're already staying at the hotel.

The location of the hotel is perfect, it is directly opposite the beach and the town with all the restaurants is a short walk away. There were also boat trips and water sport facilities within walking distance which was perfect.

There was not a lot of variety in the breakfast which after a week became repetitive and we struggled to eat the same thing everyday. We were slightly disappointment with the size of the room as the pictures online were misleading however it was lovely and clean and we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is located right next to the beach and very close to the center of Skala with various restaurants, cafés and shops. Rooms and pool were always clean and well prepared. Staff was very supportive and polite at all times.

Sunbeds at the beach cost extra, even for hotel guests - consequently we stayed at the pool area and just went for a swim in the sea most of the times. Internet connection is very poor in rooms but good in pool area. Airport transfer is only possible by taxi, which is with 60€ very expensive. Alarm light in room above the door shines very bright - we needed to cover it. Breakfast is very basic and does not offer any variety.

Really good location and very clean hotel

A little disappointed with the room for what we paid, we had a sea view but on the ground floor looking through the car park. Room was cleaned everyday and new towels everyday too, was expecting a little more relating to the room but I wouldn’t say it spoiled my holiday, it was adequate. I was amazed how many people left litter around the sun-beds on the beach, leaving the two lovely helpful lads working there to clean it up usually the next morning. I do think that should be addressed by the hotel and guests told to pick it up. I’d be happy to stay there again.

Great location opposite the beach. Clean, well maintained and run hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Lovely breakfast.

15€ Charge for the sunbeds/ umbrella, although they were like the rest of the hotel clean and in very good condition, and very comfortable. There was good free hotel wifi at the beach and the beds also came with 2 bottles of water. The sunbeds could also be accessed by general public for same fee - perhaps guests should get a discount.

I had a wonderful time at Makis Hotel in Kefalonia. The staff were friendly, the location was perfect, close to the beach and town and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I especially enjoyed relaxing by the pool and starting each day with a tasty breakfast. Highly recommended!

The only downside was that the pool could use a bit of TLC, it was a little dirty at times, and the ladders felt a bit loose. Otherwise, everything else was great!

We had a great stay at Makis. The position is ideal for easy access to tavernas and beach. Beach beds were the most comfortable we’ve experienced. Staff were very friendly and professional. The rooms were quite basic but recently refurbed, so modern and clean with comfy beds. The landscaping around the hotel was attractive and well kept. We would happily stay again.

Breakfast was a bit disorganised … never quite enough clean glasses or cups available. The swimming pool is quite old and due a refurbishment , the steps into it are worn and wobbly.

The location of Makis Hotel is perfectly situated for easy access to the centre of Skala. There is a nice pool with ample sunbeds but I used the beach just across the road. Sunbeds are chargeable on the beach but you get a free bottle of water and sometimes melon - a nice touch. You can order food and drink from your sun lounger on the beach and staff bring it to you. The pool bar offers a great selection of food and drink at reasonable prices. Rooms are a good size and have everything you need. Wifi was great, even on the beach. The staff are fab and a credit to the hotel.

Kettle and tea bags were provided in the room but no coffee or milk.

Everything was easy. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive. We came with our 8 month old and they provided a little pack of baby toys in the room, which was a lovely touch.

Only thing that could be improved is that food service stopped at 4pm and it would’ve been nice to eat there when the weather wasn’t good. But that’s being very picky as there are places to eat all along the front.
