The mid-range, 80-room Porto Skala Hotel & Village Resort is located across the street from a pebbly beach, and a seven-minute drive (or free shuttle ride) from Skala proper. Lovely grounds have lush greenery and beautiful flowers, but interiors fall short, featuring basic and dated decor throughout. Underwhelming guest rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and furnished balconies with lovely views. Buffet meals receive positive reviews, and half-board and all-inclusive options are available. The sea-view pool area is spacious and has a poolside snack bar, plus there are a game room and playground for kids. Free Wi-Fi is limited to public areas, and it can be spotty. Aside from the beach, there isn't much within walking distance of the property. Sami Beach Hotel's location is more convenient for visitors who would like to explore the area on foot.

The upper-middle-range Apostolata Island Resort & Spa has a secluded position with gorgeous views of the sea, removed from Skala proper. Although the property falls below its advertised five-star rating, the hotel offers a good range of amenities. The 166 rooms have generic, underwhelming decor, but they come with sitting areas, bathrooms with showers and separate tubs, and furnished outdoor spaces -- some with sea views. A large ocean-view pool is lovely, plus there are expansive spa facilities, a buffet restaurant, Mediterranean a la carte eatery, and poolside snack bar. All-inclusive packages are available, but they don't include top-shelf liquor. Free shuttle to Poros and Skala are convenient, and a kiddy pool and playground are available for children. Families may prefer Apollonion Resort & Spa, which has a kids' club, game room, and bigger playground.
