“Crystal Palace - Luce in Skala offers a clean and conveniently located stay, near both quiet beaches and Skala town. While some rooms involve an uphill walk, the staff's attentiveness stands out, even going the extra mile to return forgotten items. I think its pool area, combined with reasonable prices at the pool bar, makes it a particularly attractive option.”

mixed feelings on the stay

poor ac placement misleading advertising

the pool was clean and i appreciated that it was available for use throughout the day.

the room's air conditioning unit was positioned poorly (near the floor, aimed at the balcony table). this made sitting outside uncomfortable because of the hot air blowing constantly. additionally, there was a discrepancy with the swimming pools as online there were two pools advertised, yet only one was available for guest use, disappointing.

stiff neck small shower

the air conditioning was not great it blew directly onto the bed. i woke up with a stiff neck each morning. the shower was small and the curtain did not stop water from getting everywhere. the breakfast was also quite basic and lacked variety.
