We stayed at this hotel in August and can certainly recommend it, as it has an affordable and relaxing restaurant, nice little pool, is pleasantly located behind the centre of Skala and the staff are friendly and helpful. We stayed in the apartment across the road so can't comment on the rooms, and although the apartment was slightly dark and the sofas were annoying it had excellent air conditioning, comfortable beds, was cleaned daily and was very good value overall. One word of warning: the hotel do a Greek night on Tuesdays which is late and noisy, so if you're a light sleeper either join in or get some earplugs!
Also recommended are the Hook Club, a beautiful little beach club 5 minutes walk east of Skala next door to Rosy's Little Village, where you can sunbathe, have drinks and snacks, and have a dip in the crystal-clear water. Hotel Andreas has an affordable rooftop restaurant with excellent views at night - get there by 8:30pm so you can choose the tables with the best views. Aponisos was also beautiful and the little beach platform
at Limonaria was great for diving, but if you're taking the bus there then make sure you arrive 10 minutes early. And take plenty of water to drink.
Finally, when going to Skala I'd recommend taking the slow car ferry as it's much more enjoyable and romantic than the hydrofoils, which in any case only go to Mylos about a mile away.
