Platanista

Had a lovely relaxing week at the Platinista hotel, fabulous room with gorgeous views, food was buffet style with lots of variety, staff were very helpful and friendly. Freddie entertainments leader was amazing from Yoga stretch each morning to all the daily activities, it was fun to get involved. Within walking distance of Kos town, but you can easily hire bikes or scooters to explore a little more. All in all a very enjoyable week.

Very nice hotel, especially the karaokenight with Fredo was very nice. Also the staff of the hotel was very kind and the hotel was very clean.

We had a lovely stay at Platanista Hotel for Now and would happily recommend it to families looking for a relaxing break. 🛏️ Room Clean and welcoming, with thoughtful amenities like a kettle (tea/coffee provided), a bottle of water on arrival, and a small fridge. The beds were very comfortable—though slightly too soft for our taste. Tv’, safe and ample wardrobe space. The bathroom was modern, with a great shower and complimentary toiletries. 😊 Service All staff were consistently pleasant and polite, which made the experience even more enjoyable. 🏋️ Facilities There’s a small but decent gym available—perfect for a quick workout. 🍽️ Food No issues at all. The buffet was varied and fresh, and each evening featured a different cuisine, which kept things interesting. 🏊 Pool Two pools—one larger than the other—both very clean and never overcrowded, even in August. 🎯 Entertainment The entertainment team was great. My kids especially enjoyed playing boules, darts & water aerobics lots of fun and well-organized as well as the usual work off your breakfast games in the pool. My kids really enjoyed the entertainment team who made them laugh and made their stay feel welcoming. 🧼 Cleanliness Spotless throughout. Rooms were cleaned daily, and sheets changed every other day. Housekeeping was excellent. Only issue here for me were the cats as few running around the hotel. 🏖️ Beach The hotel has a private beach with a volleyball court. It was quiet, even in peak season, but quite stoney with ample sunbeds. There’s potential here—hopefully the hotel invests more in making this area more comfortable and usable. Water sports are available approx. a 5-minute walk from the hotel. 🚍 Transport There’s a bus stop right across the road that goes to Kos Town. However, buses were unreliable and often didn’t follow the timetable. Walking (20 mins) is doable, but in the August heat, hiring a bike or electric scooter (cheap and widely available) is a better option. Taxis were also hit-or-miss unless booked early. Improving transport infrastructure would really benefit guests and the island overall. ✅ Final Verdict Overall, the hotel is a clean, friendly, and relaxing with great food, service, and entertainment. While the beach and transport options could be improved, we had a great time and would recommend the hotel and would like to come back again.

Great Hotel, with good staff you can always Talk to. Nice and clean Rooms just like the whole area. But the Most important is the Entertainment Team ! (Nicknames: Charlie and Joy) Never Met some so nice and funny people on vacation before, they really let you feel like youre at Home and you can always Talk to them and they will always listen and be there for you. They really give their Best to entertain everyone and are doing so much for it. Their Program is great, especially if you Want to try Somerhing new ;). But their Not only great as Entertainment Team, they are really Kind and nice as Person and only want the Best for you. (For Example they helped me to overcome my fear of dancing in Front of others). They are definitely the Most important Part of the whole Hotel. I can only recommend it (Ps.: you should really just start Talking to them ;) )

Unfriendly staff, great food, poor location, Beach ok, access into sea, sandbags that are uneven, not great for children. Entertainment team rubbish!
