Greek Islands Kos Thermes Hotels

"We in fact stayed for 7 nights due to booking confusion with change of airline flight date/time. Late arrival & check in but pleasent to find cooked food selection and drinks available even at 11:30pm in buffet restaurant. Positive start. Room 612 overlooking quiet swimming pool area away from main block. Rooms spacious , clean & amenities with mini bar filled daily. Hotel has lovely facilities, welcome & courteous staff across all areas , recep, dining, bar etc. Two theme restaurants, Italian in our opinion excellent, Meat disappointingly average. Main buffet excellent alround , breakfast, lunch & dinner. Bars offer pleasant cocktails which creates waits , spirits are ok but not full strength nor premium. Beer & wine ok. Hotel beach a big disappointment even with pitta gyros station & bar. Hotel is a good 45m-1 hr walk into Kos Town (well worth visiting). Hotel do provide a free cycle tour in once a week which was good. Walking round area not a lot to see other than wetlands area which we believe hosts flamingos but not when we visited. Overall the hotel is a big all inclusive perhaps more suited for families , entertainment and pool use given remoteness. It was getting busier as we left and can see how it becomes a churn but for us in early season was a welcome break. Nothing detrimental to say other than wouldn’t visit as a couple in height of season. "

"Things were clean, the staff was friendly, the location was convenient from the bus stop, port, restaurant and tourist attractions. The view was beautiful. The only thing I wish was that there were some dairy and gluten free options for breakfast (such as a dairy free milk or yogurt for the granola, some potatoes, that sort of thing)."

"Perfect little piece of paradise. Our 5 day stay at the villa was peaceful, restful and luxurious. Quite possibly the most relaxing stay we have had anywhere. Everything was beautiful, from the immaculate villa to the superb pool, the tranquil view over the port and the high tech facilities. Couldn't fault anything."

"Lovely hotel , staying in October outside of any school holidays, so hotel not too busy , plenty of sun loungers, attentive staff, place felt very clean, tidy and well maintained. The all inclusive was excellent, enjoyed working though the cocktail menu. Good dining options, the app was very useful - should promote that more, with QR codes etc.. in reception. Friendly reception, very helpful booking taxis. Few times we got taxi to Kos town, then walked back. All very flat - so easy walking. Booked excursion and went to Zia for sunset in the mountains, which was beautiful. Also managed to squeeze in boat ride to Bodrum, Turkey. Overall really impressed with Kos and would certainly come back and stay at the same hotel. Indoor adult pool in the spa was a hidden gem. If the outdoor pools were a few degrees warmer I’d have swam in them more, but the sea was a little warmer and beautiful, so clear.. happily swam in the sea everyday - hotel is in great spot to enjoy the sea.

"The room was lovely and the view was amazing "

"Hotel restaurent had simple yet wonderful, flavourful food."

"The room smelled so bad, like sewage. Worn sheets and towels to the point of being transparent in places. Broken curtains and soap dispensers. Air con was not able to be adjusted, and set to a low fan setting. Building next door is an apartment block with loud shouting and partying all night. Would not recommend. "

"The architecture of the hotel Platanista is gorgeous. I loved everything about this hotel. Beautiful property. Great swimming pools and a nice close by private beach. Superb hotel ! Highly recommended ! "

"Overall, it's a decent property, but let's begin with the obvious - this is absolutely not a five star property. That's not to stay that this isn't a bad place. The appearance of the property is good with a great lobby, decorations, organization! The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, making sure that everyone has what they need. The pool facilities and activities are great as well, with lots of options available to entertain the guests. Dining options are plenty and the cleaning staff are amazing with ensuring the general dining area is cleaned and are friendly as well. The general outlook of the property is great, but the rooms are a completely different story. The rooms aren't bad, but the bathrooms are not. We found the bathrooms to be dirty and in poor condition. That aspect could be much better. It seems, at some point, the property WAS a five star facility, but how long ago that was, who knows. These days, it would be a three stat property."
