Friendly Hotel with great seawater pool.
This hotel is easy to get to and from on the bus (stop 12) or ferryboat from Skiathos town
We stayed here for 12 nights at the end of June in a large renovated room on 5th floor. The view from the room was spectacular and bed very comfortable. It had obviously been recently done up but just needed a bit more furniture, maybe some pictures and a sofa or chair.
A peculiar thing was the bedside units were fixed onto the wall but really needed adjusting to bedside rather than half a metre away on each side! Other than these little problems all else was lovely especially the beautiful bathroom.
Large swimming pool, pool bar and sunbeds were all really nice.
The staff were exceptional on reception, room attendants, Mario the barman and the lovely lady who served breakfast.
On an evening we ate nearby at Johnnies and The Kanapitsa Taverna which were good, but there was the option of a small (but good ) at the hotel if you didn’t want to venture far.
Overall it was a lovely stay at the Kanapitsa Mare and nice introduction to Skiathos.

September at the Kanapista Mare
Just back from a 14 night stay at the Kanapista Mare; I was aware of the mixed reviews prior to our visit and wasn't too sure what to expect. I can honestly say however that there are no significant problems with the property. There some areas which could be improved upon, not all of which are the responsibility of the hotel.
Firstly the exceedingly steep slope loading to reception from the road. Whilst the hotel can do little about this, TUI, the tour operator should detail this in their description as there will be a lot of disabled people who simply would struggle to manage this consequently this constitutes a significant omission and a breach of their responsibility under the Disability Discrimination Act. Clearly there is a possibility of car hire which would alleviate much of this problem.
On occasions loud music can be heard until the early hours coming from a party, yuppy, beach bar on Porto Nostos beach. The music is electro style and lacks any type of endearing qualities. Again the hotel can do little about this as it has been approved by the authorities. The owner however, is aware of the issue and is keen to get further controls exercised. This is not a significant problem as it occurs maybe twice per week and if you have your doors closed and air con on you seldom hear it.
The only sugar free drinks available at the bar was Coke Zero. Being a pre-diabetic watching his carb intake, this was quite restrictive. The option of low Cal tonic would have been a nice alternative.
The pool is large and deep and salt controlled. The salt content however is quite significant ,much higher than the sea, which is unusual. That said the pool was clean and refreshing, loungers and shade were never a problem.
We had several lunches and 1 evening meal at the hotel and these were more than satisfactory and competitively priced.
The room was one of the old type but spacious, clean and with a large balcony, shower and nice Seaview. The bed was a super king and very comfortable Pillows were ok but a little too spongy for us.
Breakfasts offered a good choice of hot and cold although as with many hotels it became repetitive after a while. The buffet was always well stocked and serviced by staff on a regular basis.
All staff were pleasant and a particular thanks goes to the receptionists and barman.
Overall I would have no problem staying again however, we seldom go back to the same hotel.

Dear Perryhedley,
Thank you for choosing our hotel for your summer holidays. It was a great pleasure having you with us during the great September period!
We are very happy that you enjoyed your holidays with us.
In regard to your thoughts, I would like to comment as follows:
1) Steep slope of the hotel; we have suggested to all T.O to make the drop-off / pickup by the hotel entrance
2) Music from the beach; as our staff explained, the beach bar is allowed by law to have music; unfortunately, at times they tend to go overboard and as a result we have informed them accordingly about the consequences that their actions will have.
3) The pool chemicals and metrics are carefully reviewed daily so that the pool experience is great for all guests.
4) We are happy that you enjoyed your meals with us. For next year changes in the menu both for the restaurant and the breakfast offerings are already organized.
Once again thank you for choosing our hotel and we hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again.
All the best!!

We had a great time here, everything was clean, room service everyday with clean towels and bed made. Breakfast was really good with plenty of choice.
All the staff were very polite and very friendly.

Only one small comment being British we would have liked tea/coffee facilities in the room

I booked this four-star hotel for a week to celebrate my Wedding Anniversary. I am sorry to say it is not four-star and everything is old and it needs a total refurbishment. All the public areas: breakfast room- lobbies- corridors were not air conditioned because the nasty Manager would not switch it on in 40•C!! We and all the other guests could not eat the very poor breakfast in the hear. Everyone was sweating in the very sunny and unbearable room. Manager yelled at me because I complained. Everyone was afraid of the arrogant manager who only yelled and banged doors instead of switching in the aircon! I was made to pay in full before arrival-€1,400 - so I could not leave. Many tourists came out with hives over their body due to the terrible heat in the Hotel. Pool is dirty and ladder and tiles broken. Hardly any sun beds or umbrellas.
Bar man won’t serve drinks and was very rude. Only four persons to staff a large four star hotel. We were totally disillusioned . I think the surly manager writes all the positive reviews!
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!
