Platanista

The Hotel Platanista is already excellent but an improvements programme has started!!

I made 4 visits to Hotel Platanista in 2021 (special pension payment year!!) in June, July/August, September and October and although the weather was different each time the hotel continued to provide guests with all that is required for a great holiday. The hotel has a programme of development and upgrading which it has started and now offers standard, superior, premium and deluxe with the premium room being the latest developed room with all new furniture/beds walk-in showers and modern bathrooms. The hotel is working on many more rooms to ensure there is a large selection of premium grade rooms for next season. The hotel is located just 150 meters from their own sandy beach and in walking distance of Kos Town (regular buses run from a stop 150 metres away). The grounds are very nicely maintained as are the buildings. The food continues to be very nice and offers a very wide choice to those of any dietary need. The hotel is spotlessly clean and if there is any issue and it is reported appropriately to reception it will be dealt with professionally (what is not required is the somewhat odd occasional complaint about an issue that 99.9% of people would not consider a problem such as a slight noise from one person at an outside hotel bar before midnight!!). I have always maintained that what a lot of visitors find special about the hotel is not only the fabric of the buildings, the pools and grounds or the food it is the staff and that continues to be the case. I cannot think of a single hotel I have been to in in the last 50 years which has so many staff that you wish to engage with regularly. So, if you are looking for a great place for your Kos holiday you have just found it!

Amazing hotel and people!

What a wonderful vacation it was! The staff was amazing; the waitresses, the lifeguards, the managers and the amazing animation team (Djestina, Agga and Thomas). We had so much fun with all of you so thank you for the wonderful time. The hotel was also very nice and clean. Food and (especially) wine was good. It was also nearby Kos Town, bus stops in front of the hotel and the beach was a 2 min walk. I would also advice to try the Greek Taverna next to the beach. Lovely guy with great mezze. One of the best hotel on Kos island!!

Excellent Hotel

Cannot fault our week we spent at Hotel Platanista. All staff were friendly and attentive at all times. Very COVID-19 safe. Room was newly refurbished and spacious with a lovely shower and comfy bed. Food was everything you wished for and more. Lovely 2 big pools and plenty of sun beds for everyone. Only 30 min walk into Kos town (5 mins by taxi 8€) We will stay here again if going to Kos!
