We stayed at the Radisson Plaza Kanapitsa from 31st August to 12th September 2025, and honestly, I feel some of the recent reviews are really unfair. This is our third time staying here. The first time was when it was still a more traditional Greek hotel, but since becoming Radisson the improvements have been incredible. First of all this is Greece, not the Seychelles (though I’d argue some of the beaches here could rival them!). The hotel itself is clean, bright and welcoming. The pool area is lovely and we never had to fight for a sunbed. Just a short three minute stroll takes you down to Kanapitsa Beach, where you’ll find a great little taverna, water taxi into Skiathos Town, and a fantastic watersports company offering boat hire and beach trips. It may not be the prettiest beach on the island, but the water is clear and perfect for a morning swim. Breakfast was more than enough with lots of choice. Fresh fruit, Greek yoghurt, muesli, eggs, pastries, breads and biscuits. It’s not alacarte, but it’s plentiful and very Greek. Drinks are served throughout the day and evening at the bar. Yes, hotel prices, but the cocktails were great and the staff even better. Maria and Demi are exceptional, and over the last two visits they’ve become friends. Reception were also really helpful. Anna went out of her way to recommend a beautiful restaurant for our last night which we loved. Our room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Our lovely cleaner, originally from Ukraine, was always smiling and made us feel so welcome every day. We ate in the hotel one evening and had an amazing pasta dish. Yes, a little pricier, but that’s what you expect in a hotel. We also rented quad bikes through reception and explored some incredible places around the island, including the Skiathos Dog Shelter and the monastery. For us, this hotel is a brilliant base to explore Skiathos. The staff truly make the difference, they work so hard and always with a smile. We’ll definitely be back next year. Thank you, Team Radisson, for another wonderful holiday. Nikki & Shaun xxx
