Paspalis Hotel

Stayed 3 nights for a wedding with my two adult sons. Can’t fault anything about this hotel. We had adjacent rooms on the ground floor. They were very comfortable and had a small patio. The bed was exceptionally comfy and slept really well. The staff were wonderful, couldn’t do enough for you. Good buffet breakfast and a lovely restaurant, open to the public. Pool with plenty of sun beds. Sea and beach over the road with sun beds to hire for the day for €12. About 10 minute walk into Skala centre up a hill. Had a lovely time, would definitely recommend.

The location is excellent - just across the road to the single beach and Captain Vangelis tour boat. There are a good number of nice restaurants, shops and bars in easy walking distance, however the main "High Street" in Skala is accessible from the coast road via steps or up a short but moderately steep hill. Atmosphere - Generally the hotel had a pleasant vibe. Rooms - we found are room to be very poorly lit, dark in fact, we had room 15 which was on the ground floor practically next to the reception, and looking direct onto an access road, it was not pleasant as you had noise from the kitchens, of the Paspalis and the next door restaurant, lorries unloading from 7 am and kitchen noise into the evening, so not a pleasant place to sit and enjoy your holiday. As i said lighting was poor and the desk lamp switch disintegrated in my hand as i used it, it was extremely dangerous, the hotel offered to tape it back together and when i refused it took them two further days to supply a replacement. The room in general was clean and kept clean. We tried to change the room location, but were given the run around the hotel said it was Jet2's responsibility and Jet2 said the hotel had no availability. We later found that most if not all of the nicer rooms facing the sea where in fact booked direct and Jet2 got what was left. The hotel in general was quiet, apart from what I described above. Amenities - The pool was adequate, but people still putting towels out at silly o'clock, on the subject of pool towels, there were no pool towels, it was only later in our week that somebody said you could hire them for 3 euro, but it would have been nice to have known that at the beginning (having gone and bought some in the village). Air conditioning in room was very good, apart from the 30 euro charge on arrival (in cash) . Staff - All the staff were lovely and they tried their best. Breakfast - no some would say it was good, but I don't consider myself to be overly fussy, so i will try to be objective - Juices were no better than cordial and the apple juice was pretty shocking, cereal was heavily processed and what passed as corn flakes were pretty shocking, cakes / bread seemed to go down well, but the jam was very watery, butter was good. Yoghurt - Greek style on only honey or jam to sweeten it. Fruit plentiful, although bananas were put out nearly individually, i guess to stop people tacking for snacks, melon was served on one morning only - why. Tea Coffee - we brought our own tea bags and water was hot, the milk was cold, but you could tell its UHT, cooked food - scrambled eggs were good, beans good, bacon heavily processed but edible, sausages little frankfurter type, not for me. I did see fried eggs being served, but nobody told us you could order them, and no sign of an omelet. There were cold cheese and ham on offer, but that for me is not something i want for breakfast. Lunch - menu was ok and we had quality, price and service was extremely good. Evening meal we made alternative arrangements. So in general it was ok, the experience would have been so much better if the room had better suited our preference, but you get what you get if you book a package with Jet2, and I think this will be the last one i do with them, for this reason (unfortunately already booked another holiday with them later in the year, and i dread to think what the accommodation will be like), but after that its either direct or TUI.

Just back from a wonderful 10 days at Paspalis Hotel and I had a lovely stay.

Everything was very clean and comfortable. The pool area was great and never too crowded making it easy to get a sun lounger. The restaurant was open all day serving snacks, drinks, lunch and dinner. I ate there several times and the food and service was excellent.

My room was comfortable with everything that I needed and it was tidied and refreshed every day.

I am looking forward to booking again in October and would recommend this lovely hotel. ❤️
