  : The only positive things were the location and the private beach
  : They fact that everything in the hotel is designed to save costs in an insulting way that reaches the grotesque.- the entrance is poorly indicated and the parking is not at all indicated, with a very narrow entrance.- the reception building is closed and non-functioning, giving the customer a quite creepy first impression. Only after wondering for ten minutes did I see a sign indicating their idea of a reception, that is a bamboo table next to the pool. Behind it was a lady not at all adequately dressed for her role ( shorts and sandals).- the room is dirty, the furniture is ruined and rusty, the shower water is mostly lukewarm except for the hottest hours ( I believe the heating is solar)- you have to leave your keys at the reception for them to come and tidy up. Not only that, you have to specify the single things you want them to clean. For instance, you must say make the bed or clean the bathroom, which again i find grotesque for a four star hotel.- the included breakfast and dinner are of very poor quality. You have to make you own coffee using an automatic dispenser which serves something that resembles dirty water. The fruit juice is similarly prepared mixing a condensate and water. Apple juice tastes like candy, orange juice tastes like a cheap energy drink. There are no fruits, very little choice and all of the products are of third choice. (For example, poor quality private label hazelnut spread instead of nutella).The dinner includes a soup and a second course with salad on the side. The soup and the salad are generally good, although one may argue that not everyone craves a hot soup as an entre on a hot summer night. The main course is generally designed as to not exceed the 2-3 euros of industrial costs, by including very little meat, no fish, mainly carbohydrates. For instance: rice with chicken, moussaka, homemade pasta with beans, hot dogs with vegetables and God only knows what else.

  : The sunset at the beach.I liked the villas in the neighborhood, I might ask if I can rent one for next time.
  : Every day at Skion palace was a new disappointment. And, I was ready, I read all the reviews. I was expecting an outdated hotel with not much to offer. Yet, I was surprised.The food is below average, when there is food. I've never before been to a place which ran out of food, but here it is. We were asked if we would share one serving between the three of us.The bed was not a king size bed, it was two twin mattresses (of different heights) brought together.The staff is 5 people doing everything, and you need a couple of days to actually understand who is the staff, because they have no uniforms, markings or anything similar.My passport was held for the whole duration of our stay, probably because they feared we would run away (with good reason, I did think of running away a couple of times).You need to ask for the room to be cleaned, and the toilet paper to be restocked. There were a pair of men's swimming shorts outside of our room for the whole duration of our stay. Nobody bothered to move them. If someone who stayed there before 01.09.2023 lost their shorts, don't worry, they are probably still there, you could pick them up.There is no WiFi in the rooms, and actually I struggled to get a mobile network reception also.I could go like this longer than my actual stay at this hotel, which I know will never happen again.

  : Nothing specific
  : The room was old, there wasnt room cleaning during the 4 nights we stayed. The food was horrible and vary poor for that price. The hotel is too far from everything, there is no even a market that you can go by foot, and the beach full of rocks.
