Platanista Hotel

Designed to recreate the look of a castle, the family-run Platanista consistently wins awards for its high standards, excellent value for money & caring staff. This impressive hotel is in a quiet position only 200m from the beach, 2km from Kos town, & 1km from the marina. A simple, yet aesthetic, environment worked out to accommodate the visitors who would want to experience something exceptional from the ordinary. A thousand and one nights in Greece...

lovely hotel

Reviewed By Heather W

Just returned from 10 days at Platanista, good location, great staff, lovely rooms, and good food. The entertainment however is a complete let down. We chose this hotel as needed to please 10 people aged 8-70, this seemed a good choice. first 3 days had some entertainment (perhaps a little corny) but children liked it, suddenly all stopped with no explanation, through the grapevine it would seem there was something wrong with the visas for the entertainment staff. Evening entertainment stopped as well, we had 3 good external acts but after that nothing. Surely after the TUI adverts as a family hotel something could have been done? there must be plenty of acts on Kos Island. Tried to speak to manager but was never available. We still enjoyed our holiday, but would be more suitable to adults only.

Michelangelo Resort & Spa

An exceptional 5 star hotel in Kos island is offering magnificent views of Aegean sea and one of the coolest infinity pools in Greece!

Wonderful Week

Reviewed By Ella-g-Bella

This hotel is nothing less than stunning. Views to die for, spotlessly clean, great modern rooms. The food is incredible, the buffet is really good, the choice in a la carte well worth a visit, we always found plenty to eat in every restaurant. We’ve seen some comments about the wine, but we found the rose really lovely and one of our party is very picky. The best part about the hotel though is the staff. Every single person was lovely, really helpful and made you feel like they were pleased to see you. A special mention to the wonderful Adina who looked after us so well in the bar. One of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in for a lovely chilled week, can’t wait to return.

Avoid! Says 4* more like -4*

Reviewed By Chloe Y

Stayed for 10days beginning of June and will never be returning. Customer service skills are shocking - having to ask 3 + times for the simplest of things before actually received. Food is ridiculous boring and bland and lukewarm everyday - the ques were outrageous to even get the food. Says bbq opens at 3pm thats a lie as doesn't till 345 so ignore the signs. My room was never cleaned once since arrived and no fresh towels received throughout my stay. Cleaners knock on door at 8 am! Who is even up that early on holiday! Noisy dated rooms which weren't cleaned. One bar open in evening with 3 members of staff serving hundreds of people so the que was a joke. You go all inclusive to not spend extra money daily but have spent money out for meals most days and in the shop as the food choice is poor for myself and my child. Dirty plates left by poolside for days on end, park is falling apart with peddles off bikes and flooring ripped up. Blocked drains around the resort which stink! Really disappointed with the customer service and hotel! Sad that my first holiday after covid had to be this!! Saved and spent a lot of money as a single parent to make memories and have been let down.

Could be so much better

Reviewed By Traveler66108332291

It’s in a nice setting not too far from Kos Town and with a convenient bus just outside. Communal areas are generally ok but the pools were pretty dirty (one looked like filter wasn’t working though someone did clean it everyday) and pool stairs were coming out of the ground. They pools also felt quite slimy and yellow marks can be seen at the water line. They need better and more regular cleaning. High traffic areas were kept clean/looking nice but other areas e.g. stairwells to rooms in the main building felt quite dirty, bird droppings, bugs etc. Staff generally friendly although at poor bar if you’re not on all inc you’re treated a bit like a second class citizen. No idea why given I was one of the few actually paying for stuff. Was like it was too much of an effort for them to put it through the till. Check in was poor. It was late so only reception cover but not being AI I was given a tatty envelope with my key and very little info at all. They spent a long time with the family before me (on AI of course). Rooms do need updating but I was aware of that when I booked and the price seemed to reflect. Why they didn’t take advantage of covid though to do that though is beyond me. The bathrooms in particular need a refurb. And if you want hot water at peak times forget it, it just runs dry. Complained numerous times. Said they’d send maintenance. Never saw maintenance. Basically just have showers at random times and it might be ok. It seemed more of an ongoing issue than a one off. Heard numerous calls with the same issue when at reception. Housekeeping - came every day but did the minimum. Asked for an extra bath towel as one small bath towel and face towel is a struggle if you have long hair to wash! Never appeared. Food/buffet was fine - usual fare to cater for everyone. The local options were better done. Staff were friendly and tables cleared and re-set quickly. All in all ok, the weather was great but I won’t being making a repeat visit I’m afraid.

What a shambles!

Reviewed By familyinswindon

Where do I start!? Similar to other recent reviews, this place really wasn’t ready for the arrival of guests after a long closure through the pandemic. We arrived on 2nd June for a week, having previously emailed both Jet2 and the hotel direct to confirm it would be fully up and running with all inclusivities and amenities as advertised and the reply from both was “yes”. Well sadly upon arrival at 10.30pm it was painfully clear straight away this was not the case. We were all hungry after a long day of travelling, so after checking in were told that the evening buffet opens at 23.00 for an hour. So we waited, tired and hungry with a group of other equally tired and hungry new arrivals to be told after checking several times with reception (who kept telling us please wait it will be open), for someone from the bar to chuck a box of sweaty baguettes at us. There was probably 20 baguettes tops - for around 50 of us. By this point the all inclusive bar had closed and so we couldn’t even get a free drink! Back to our room - to find the air conditioning wouldn’t be operating until mid June (defo no mention of this when I booked) and so proceeded the start of 7 of the most uncomfortable nights sleep I have EVER endured. Many guests were upset and frustrated by this - some after complaining were eventually given aircon. Others left the hotel and stayed elsewhere. We complained several times - got nowhere and to add insult to injury were offered a fan - at a charge!!!! We had to wait 4 days for a jet2 rep to arrive to negotiated a free fan for us. To be honest it didn’t make the slightest of difference. My children were sleeping on the cold tiled floor in an attempt to stay cool (the room was on average between 24-28 degrees centigrade every night - stifling!!). There was no teen lounge as advertised (our children are 11 and 13 so this was a factor in our decision to book here!) . Day time entertainment for teenagers was non existent. The pools are large and the slides are fun for children - that’s the only good thing at this hotel. Although the music piped into the speakers round the pool are clearly from a lifeguards phone or similar because every day it was very loud hardcore house or music with non stop expletives in - hardly suitable for families. Food is mediocre and nothing is labelled in the buffet (don’t come here if you are a vegan / vegetarian/ have allergies / intolerances / coeliac - it would very dangerous). The “snacks” advertised outside of meal times are a handful of sweaty baguettes that disappear within minutes. Rooms are large but very dated and the bed was like sleeping on a board - awful. The shop didn’t open until our last day and all the shared facilities supposedly available at the other sites were either not available to use or at a charge (not previously as advertised either). Entertainment started partially through our stay but was a very low standard. We chose to catch the bus into Kos. Do not stay here if you have mobility issues - the whole site is based on a steep hill and they don’t care about situating anyone in unaccessible rooms - there were people with pushchairs and wheelchairs staying in rooms far up such a steep hill! Reception are the most obtuse, rude people I have ever encountered. Tim particularly - this man has nothing but contempt for guests. My family and I have stayed at many “value / budget hotels” - it is not our expectations that are disproportionate. This hotel is a mess, I urge the product team at Jet2 to revisit your contract with them and how you are selling this resort. I would never recommend this hotel or this chain of hotels. I will be seeking money back from Jet2 asap for this absolute shambles of a stay.

Ultra all Inc, yes, but..

Reviewed By alisonhJ746FB

Giving 4/5 because the hotel is billed as five stars, but it ain't. In common with turkey, five stars here isn't five stars in somewhere like Hong Kong or London. Not bad by any means though a few minor quibbles which don't bother me, but clearly annoyed others. What the small print doesn't tell you: Pebbly beach, no alcoholic drinks at the beach bar, soda only. Pool open 10 til 6 only. If you want a four poster at the pool, 10 Euros to book. Beach/pool towels are available but you have to put down a10 euro deposit at reception, get a ticket, and redeem it at the pool bar at 10am. Cocktails ain't great (avoid the kir royale and there's no mint in the mojito!) Be nice to the bar staff though... They take a lot of crap. There were only ever two barmen on duty for the main bar so be prepared to wait for 20 minutes plus. The "nicer" restaurant needs reservation a day in advance even if you are ultra all Inc and it looks quiet. The Red Sky rooftop bar is shut completely. The spa is only staffed on certain days. Poolside relaxation spoiled by dated music. Good points: housekeeping was more than on point, they are the happiest housekeeping I've ever seen! Food is plentiful and varied Welcome bottle of wine is good, balcony great for private sunbathing. You don't need a shuttle to the beach, it's at the end of the drive. Reception are lovely and will do their best for you. Head up the beach to the Ramira and get a massage there, 35 euro for an hour and they are lovely. Rent a car or bike and head to Zia for relaxed and scenic shopping.

The holiday we needed

Reviewed By EktorForPresident

Good location on the beach with a beautiful view of the sea and mountains. Bungalow structure and very big room with a huge terrace facing the sea. Everything was very clean (daily cleaning and change of the towels). It might be a bit outdated but in general, the complex is really comfortable and it did not make a difference to our stay. Good food in the buffet. The staff is very kind and willing to help at any time. The swimming pool was very nice and large. There were many sunbeds both for the swimming pool and for the beach, and we never had problems finding one free and they were also free of charge. The minimarket staff (Georgos and Johanna) were super friendly and fun. We had a good time and it was a good choice for us.

We've stayed in a studio with sea view for two weeks. The surrounding is quiet and the appartment was really clean. We were happy with the taken measures and cleaning policy during this Covid-times. The owner Manos is really friendly and kind. He checked in with us several times to ask if everything was ok. We've had nice conversation topics and we really enjoyed our stay.
