We booked this hotel with TUI, a last minute decision for us. We read the reviews and almost all were very positive. And rightly so. It was a fantastic hotel, spotlessly clean, very friendly and helpful staff throughout the hotel. Food was excellent, plenty of choice every night for dinner and a great breakfast each morning - again lots of choice. There was something to suit all tastes. The hotel has been refurbished and the rooms are lovely and spacious with everything you need. Plenty of storage as well. The walk in shower was great. The dining room was light and airy and again, looks as if it had been refurbished. There was also an option to eat outside. The hotel supplies pool towels - 2 per room - which can be changed twice during a week's stay. They are free of charge so don't believe the reviews which say you have to pay for them. Similarly there is an in room safe, which again is free. The pool areas are beautiful and the gardens are well maintained throughout. Sunbeds were always available whatever time of day we went to the pool - however, I'm not sure if the hotel was full and what it will be like in July or August I couldn't say. The sunbeds were always clean and there were plenty of umbrellas - 1 for every 2 sunbeds. There is a swim up bar in the smaller pool but it was closed while we were there. There is also a bar/ restaurant beside the larger pool which is open throughout the day for food, drinks and ice cream. There is another bar near reception but that only opens in the evenings and the main bar which is off the dining area, again only opens in the evenings. There is also a small shop in the hotel which sells a variety of items. There was some form of entertainment each evening which was OK but not always great. Though the entertainment team try hard. All in all we were very happy with our stay. The hotel was fantastic but the resort of Psalidi is not so great. It's a bit run-down and not many tavernas near the hotel and only a couple of small supermarkets. You can walk to Kos Town - about 45 minutes or there are buses which cost 1 euro 20c each way. They get very busy in the evenings though and if they are very full, they won't stop. A taxi costs about 9 euros each way.

Staying at Platanista is a very nice experience. Everyone is so friendly. Especially the people at the bar and restaurant do their best to give you a good time and make sure you enjoy yourself. There are fun things organized every night. We have grown to love them. This was my second time here and I already know that the third time will definitely come. It is clean and pleasant. I felt comfortable and safe.

Great place in a nice peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of Kos town and 200m from the beach and main road. Moreover the place has been refurbished to high standards and is kept immaculate clean. The phoenecian style hotel is made of different buildings with all the amenities and rooms, dotted in beautiful gardens around 2 main pools. Enough loungers to relax without towel reservations. They have a wonderful staff, always helpful and ready with a smile. No wonder they have a good base of returning customers. Only negative points: - the roosters around the hotel complex crowing early morning. - the glass shower wall not preventing enough the water to spray on the floor. But these are only minor points because the rooms are very comfy with lots of storage. To put it short the hotel is top notch and wants us to go back.
