Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa

The hotel is in a great location and has all the amenities necessary for a family holiday. Was disappointing that there was absolutely no guest/ customer service. All inclusive is terrible and confusing along with the processes and systems the hotel has. Such a shame for a property that could be amazing. A let down for our family holiday and won’t return in future.

We were traveling with two families, children 4, 5, 7 and 7. The hotel was great! Lots of great pools, great location and really nice two bedroom room. Animation team, which was responsible for the program and especially children / kids club was great. Our kid spent 1-2 hours each day (except one) in kids club and also joined the mini disco in the evening. There were lots of great people in the animation team and our kids loved those people there. There are also really many nice restaurants near by. I can only recommend and we are already planning another trip there next summer.

We stayed for four nights with all inclusive. Excellent buffets - three meals a day. Beach is very close and very kid-friendly. There are snorkelling opportunities along the stone pier on the left side of the beach. We also took a two-hour boat excursion to the nearby island, which is recommended. In general, a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Rooms are modern and clean, we had a maisonette for four persons with a small balcony. Just a few areas of improvement: a) the safety lockers should be included in the price, b) there were very few power outlets in the rooms for charging and there were nowhere to hang towels in the shower room. c) it would have been nice to get a few water bottles daily to the room, as part of the all inclusive deal.

Overall it was very good and family friendly place. I will come back here again in next year.

Platanias is a bustly, busy tourist haven which also boasts a beautiful long stretch of beaches. Porto Platanias was a great place to stay with two small children. The staff were very attentive, great with the children, polite , helpful and on the two occasions where the children had an exacerbation of their asthma, the staff called the local doctors and were very supportive . The buffets at breakfast and lunch had a really good choice of quality food. We had no issues of tummy upsets and both children ( one a very fussy about eater) ate like they were going to the chair........the hotel is clean and spacious - we opted for a room with a plunge pool but saying that the pools were never that busy. We were close to a pool where the music was being played loud, but the soundproofing of the room meant that daytime naps were not affected by noise levels . Behind the hotel is a beautiful stretch of sandy and shingle beach with relatively shallow waters perfect for the kids - the loungers and umbrellas are free for guests and unlike other places is well controlled with non guests paying ( so quieter than other popular beaches). We hired a car to be able to explore and travel further afield but you have restaurants , bars shops, chemists all locally if you prefer to stay local. I think if it weren't for the excellent hotel staff and the quality of the meals this hotel would be pretty average but these two factors would make me return again to Porto Platanias.
