Hotel Platanista

Platanista is a lovely hotel located 3km out of Kos Town with 2 great pools and excellent accommodation. The food is average and the staff are rather abrupt but we stayed b&b and were very happy with the pool bar for lunch where the staff were my friendlier. We hired bikes to cycle into town in the evening to eat where there's a great choice of restaurants.

This hotel has very friendly & helpful staff, very good food & decent facilities. We had standard, garden view rooms, which were a nice size. We booked half board & the quality & variety of the meals was excellent. It is family friendly, with plenty for kids to do. Its' location is a little bit 'out of the way', as there is not much in terms of bars/restaurants/shops very near to the hotel. However, Kos town is 10 mins by bus or 5 mins by taxi (€6-7). This hotel is ideal for families or couples, who just want a quiet, relaxing holiday around the pool. If you like being right in the middle of things, it's not the place for you.
