Platanista Hotel

"We enjoyed every minute of this fabulous hotel. The low rise building means that it is not too imposing and you are warmly welcomed the minute you arrive. The hotel is spotlessly clean and our room was cleaned every day. It has two huge pools which despite being on the chilly side were great for swimming lengths or just cooling off. Breakfast and dinner were fabulous with everything that you can think of so can't imagine anyone going hungry. The food was fresh, hot, delicious and in abundance. The dining room works like clockwork and all the waiting staff were hardworking and friendly. The animation team Fredo and Joy were great, we enjoyed the morning stretching and aqua aerobics. We didn't watch the evening entertainment but could hear it at times and it all sounded good if that's what you like. The communal areas were spacious, clean with lovely furnishings. There is a 2 minute walk to the private beach which has sunbeds, umbrellas and a shower, the beach is stoney but there is a walkway into the water which works well. There is also a bike/car rental shop outside the hotel where you can hire a bike from €5. Cycling is a great way to get around and so many people do it. Kos town is a 40 minute stroll along a flat road and an interesting place to visit, there are tavernas and supermarkets dotted along the way. After looking at different hotels in the area we are certain that we picked the best. Thank you Platanista."

"My personal favourite holiday where it had a chill vibe all day. We saw the acrobats and they were a 10 out of 10. The cleanliness was on point. All the staff were lovely. Especially joy. And then all the bar staff and the shop lady. Lots nearby. We were in a family room which had loads of space and a humungous balcony we did get some ants but they helped us get rid of them and gave us a free lunch the next day. It’s a quiet but lovely atmosphere. We loved the golf course football pitch and ping pong table it has amenities for all ages every day. It was a 10 out of ten value for money. Can’t wait for a return x"

"Fab hotel. It looks impressive and it is. So clean. Room spacious, towels changed daily. Lovely views of the gardens and sea from our balcony (355). Easy to get sunbeds, lovely snack bar and two lovely pools although quite cold!! (OK once you get in!). Breakfast and evening meal was plentiful. Buffet style, so we ate far too much! Mix of Greek and international dishes, so something for everyone. The aqua fit classes were good fun. We didn't participate in any other daytime activities but there was darts, Boules, ping pong and crazy golf. We didn't use the tennis courts, sauna or gym. Evening entertainment was hit and miss, although the outdoor bar area was lovely. The two guys on the entertainment team tried their hardest and we had fun. A great holiday and a hotel I would definitely return to and recommend. Shout out to Laura in the dining would who greeted us with the most welcoming smile every evening."
