Enjoyable week
Enjoyable stay at Hotel Platanista
TUI advertised as a 4-star but I would say more like a 3 star plus with some 4 star elements.
Positives
- Food is lovely and enjoyed most evening meals. Breakfast was good and lots of options to make a delicious yoghurt bowl.
- The hotel and grounds are nice and well maintained and cleaned.
- Rooms are nice and the cleaners did an amazing job every day
- location of hotel is good. Away from Kos town to avoid noise, traffic etc but easy enough to get into the town. We walked there and back every day with our children and wasn’t an issue. you can hire bikes or e-scooters too.
Negatives
- We emailed the hotel several times on a couple of requests/ questions and no reply was sent.
- Food labelling wasn’t the best but we aren’t fussy eaters so happy to try most things
- drinks are not included on your evening meal which wasn’t stated beforehand. I feel at least one drink should be included in the evening meal.
- Swimwear went yellow and stained after swimming in pools, this ruined several pieces of swimwear for my family
- Entertainment was average and on some nights you can struggle to find a seat.
Suggestions
- Crepes are made to order at breakfast but I would suggest getting a bigger waffle machine as the queue for crepes may not be as big if there was always waffles available
- Would suggest the hotel cater to children a bit more especially in the holidays, no kids club, longer mini disco and never saw a single pizza at meal times!
- Bigger stage and more seating required in high season for entertainment.
There are pros and cons in most hotels but despite some of the minor issues we still enjoyed our week at the hotel, we would recommend and would return in the future.

Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic time in Kos at the Platanista Hotel. We thought the price was very reasonable for such a beautiful 4 star hotel, and we couldn’t fault our stay.
The food was absolutely stunning throughout the day, with a great choice available and a different evening menu every night, so there was always plenty to choose from.
A special thank you to our TUI rep for booking the Olympus 2 Restaurant as part of the Zia at Night experience. We were lucky enough to have a balcony table with an amazing view, watching the sunset while enjoying our meal. It really was a highlight of the holiday.
We’d also highly recommend hiring bikes during your stay. The journey from the hotel into Kos Old Town is a lovely, steady 15 minute ride, and it’s so convenient not having to wait around for taxis.
Overall, we had a brilliant holiday and would highly recommend the Platanista Hotel and TUI. We’d definitely return!
Amazing hotel!
What an amazing place to stay! Spotless rooms,grounds and pools with excellent food and friendly staff. The place is faultless. Genuinely one of the nicest places we’ve stayed. It’s good value and the quality of the food is excellent. Entertainment is good with kids activities and good quality evening shows. It’s located about a 25 min walk from Kos. Some excellent tavernas nearby and close to the beach. The beach is rocky,but the sea was lovely and warm to swim in. We hired a scooter for the day from next door for £20,including helmet. Great to explore the island. Kos old town is lovely and charming. The whole place has a relaxed and friendly vibe….won’t be long before we make a return trip.

Getaway and what a choice
Ok so the plan was a cheap 4/5 night getaway... after a few days exhausting the net for the best deals, reckon we come pretty close with Hotel Palatnista.... 1 hour transfer by coach from the airport, that took us to a hotel right by the sea.. 2 min walk to it's own private beach, plenty of sunbeds, such a lovely location. The hotel looks feels and creates a very classy feel when there.. clean spacious and facilities galore. The room we gad 527 was fantastic just no issues , spacious , great shower , comfy bed, aircon was a godsend, just a little noisy.. and in a quiet part of the complex, ground floor, loved it. The pools were fantastic clean well maintained, not cold, not hot thankfully. Plenty of sunbeds , you are not welcome to put towels on beds before brekkie, all very civil, as it should be... The staff from the front desk, to the restaurant staff, to the room maids, a credit to the hotel and themselves, very grateful was we for their efforts, zero complaints... Finally the food 😋, got to say plenty of and tasted great... only small gripe was not loads of options, some will say there was plenty, but for me I've seen more options daily, but it definitely didnt impact my meal times, the family had no complaints at all.. would I return big phat yes... Thankyou once again..
