we arrived here late in the evening and after a long coach trip and flight, we were greeted off the coach with a warm greek welcome. They kept the bar open for drinks and snacks just for the coach arrivals. When we got to our room and being shown, we thought it was fantastic and very clean with fresh paint... More

This is a delightful hotel situated on a hillside overlooking the Ionian sea and just 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk from the centre of Skala village. The beach is no more than 10 minutes walk down some steps and along a dry river course. It takes about 15 minutes walking time by the road route if you’re unlucky... More

We were most impressed when we stayed at this superb self catering establishment this summer. Vicky and Nick work all hours of the day to make this place such a success, and we were struck particularly by Vicky's cool presence of mind when a young child started choking while we all 'froze' including the child's mother. Vicky saved the day... More

We had 2 weeks at the Crystal Palace and it was lovely, just couldn't fault it, the apartments were beautiful and spotlessly clean, we even had two balconies!! Nick, Vicky & Irene were all so nice & friendly and accommodating I just didn't want to leave. I can understand why so many people return time after time, the BBQ on... More

After 2 weeks staying at the Crystal Palace I can say we have had one of the most enjoyable holidays ever! The apartments are clean, spacious and have everything you could need, even washing up liquid!! Nick and his team are so welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. There is a walkway down to the main road which... More

My daughter and I stayed here for one week. It is an ideal spot for exploring the area. If you want a lazy day by the pool its great as there is a reasonably priced snack bar open all day for drinks and food. If you want a day by the beach it is a five minute walk down the... More

We read all the reviews about the Crystal Palace Hotel before we left and I can confirm that they are spacious, very, very clean and in a quiet location. However, although nearly all the rooms have decent views of the sea or hillside/sea, rooms 406 and especially 403 have very poor views... mostly of the car park. We emailed ahead... More

Ultra clean. Very recently built. Good rooms with views. Excellent maid service. Nice friendly people. Good pool bar. Pool a bit small? Not so much for kids/families? Rather out of town? Steep hill location. Internet patchy.

The Crystal palace deserves its good reviews. Lovely place, well kept with immaculate rooms of a very high standard. 5 minute walk to the beach via the bamboo trail is very easy then 10 minute walk into resort along the flat promenade. Supermarket only a few hundred yards away. Walking back at night the bamboo trail was lit but some... More
