Relaxing break
We had a lovely time at Platanista. The hotel is very clean, 2 large swimming pools (very cold though!) and plenty of comfy sunbeds which we had no problem finding free ones any time of day. Our room was on level 2, spacious and lots of wardrobe and drawer space. Walk in shower which was good and tea & coffee facilities with a small fridge. Restaurant run like clockwork, lots of staff on hand to clear tables and food plentiful being topped up regularly. Breakfast selections okay, with fresh crepes being cooked and eggs, however no porridge and no omelette station. Dinner selections was one of the best we have seen, with lots of choice. I am quite fussy eater but found plenty of food that I liked and some evenings the meals were amazingly good. Puddings plentiful and varied as well - we particularly enjoyed the Oreo cake! Entertainment in the outside bar area, usual singers, quizzes and karaoke-the South African duo were very good. Inside bar was nice and plenty of seating around. Drink prices okay, €5.50 for large beer but €10 for a Malibu which we felt expensive. €3.50 for a coke.
10 minute walk to a supermarket for supplies and around 40 minutes to the harbour in KOS which we walked to a few times. A few restaurants on route and we stopped at the bakery for lunch one day which was good.
Hired bikes just down the road from the hotel which was €10 for the day, excellent modern bike and easy cycling as there are designated cycle lanes. Also did a boat trip which you can book at the harbour, not as good as previous ones we have done elsewhere but a nice day out.

Fab hotel
Just back from hotel platanista in Kos With my two sisters who have stayed at this hotel the last 3 years. Absolutely immaculately clean hotel. Great room for three with tea/coffee facilities and a fridge. Large walk in shower. Huge balcony. Bed linen changed regularly and also fluffy white towels. Staff exceptional especially Emmanuel and Stavros on reception and Maria in dining room. Sun beds always available and comfortable with hotel towels provided. Breakfast and dinner buffet was outstanding with amazing variety of foods. Waiters very helpful and friendly. A great hotel We are looking to stay again next year.

Great hotel.
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.

A perfect holiday
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
Fabulous 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.
