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.

Family resort. feels like 1000's of people there. Crowded. If that does not bother you, ok place. Noise at night from pool or karioki irritating.

Was amazing

We had a nice stay, the room was clean and breakfast plentiful. My only gripe is with the beach -- the dried seaweed should be cleaned out daily.

The food was good and the rooms were nice and the sunbathing facilities were good IF you managed to get a sun bed. There were just little things that could have been better such as, 2 times we had problems with our room key and needed a new one, we had all inclusive and should have beennable to have soup when arriving late, but that wasn’t so. The map of the property is not very discriptive.etc. But all in all, a nice place to stay

The rooms were dirty , doesn’t look anyrhing like the pictures. Staff are extremely rude. It feels like 3 star not 5 star.

The rooms are not 5 star. Super small, no mini bar, only an empty fridge and pretty basic. The other installations (swimming pool and restaurants) are good in general.

I would like to start by saying that I never wrote a bad review in my life. But this is not a 5* star hotel. We were all SO DISAPPOINTED, that we requested our money back so we can go to a different hotel, but it was non refundable.. The pictures online look much better than what it actually is. The furniture and most things in the hotel are very old. You don’t feel like u came to a luxury hotel. The service is not 5 star. U have to ask for basic things that should be included in the room. In addition, you have to put £10 deposit per beach towel. You have to pay for bed/beach umbrella on the beach that is part of the hotel. I would say, that the hotel upgraded our room, which was still not to par what so ever. Overall, if you want to go to a 5 star hotel, and enjoy the room and hotel facilities, this is not the place for you. If you are just looking for a place to sleep and will be out and about most of the day, the place is fine.

I love this place, and the excellent buffet. I just wish the AC in my room worked. The fan works but no cold air.

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

We had a fantastic stay! This was our second time at Porto Platanias hotel and spa. The staff were warm and welcoming especially Anastasia. We had a beautiful room with a sea view and private pool which was great for cooling off. We were surprised with lively welcome touches such as wine fresh cut fruit and cakes brought to our room. Dining as we looked out towards Theodorus island was incredible and the dining room staff were attentive and professional, especially Vassily. The food was simply delicious and even better than our previous visit. It's a small miracle I didnt gain 5 kilos! Greek night was a true experience. Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was fine. We had some problem with the air conditioner not cooling but upon complaint the reception promptly sent soneone to fix it. Only drawback was loud noise at night from poolside games like air hocky tables. Had a wonderful massage by George at the spa.

Location and facilities were great. Staff were helpfull, friendly and efficient. Can give my best recommendation.

Reception staff are lovely and friendly! The hotel is beautiful and has many sunbeds by the pool so we always had a lovely spot. The hotel is situated on the busy shopping street of Platanias which is great as there were lots of cute boutiques, shops and really great restaurants along the road. There is a huge variety of breakfast foods at Porto Platanias and the restaurants in the hotel is really good value and tastes lovely too! The spa is big but some facilities were not working properly and the manager there was not too helpful. My massage therapist, Sophia, was great!

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.

Everything was very good but the quality of the beds was very very very bad.

Nice hotel near the beach. The food was excellent.

This hotel felt mediocre. The pictures sold us on a different vacation. All in all not bad, we went at the height of European holiday and while the staff was nice enough, the fellow guest were difficult to coexist with. It felt more like a Bermuda knock-off resort, not Greek in anyway. Not a bad stay, but next time I would look for something more authentic.

The description says the room is partial view but that required a little bit of stretching. The room was nice and clean. Getting the AC to stay on was tricky. The service was not good. Whatever I needed required two or three requests to get it.

Nice hotel friendly staff. Food in hotel not great but overall nice hotel

lovely resort, friendly staff, excellent breakfast buffet, good location, would definitely recommend it. the beach is really nice and the area has bars, restaurants, tavernas, shops, pharmacy and anything else you may need.. very pleasant stay overall.

to be honest I expected a little more for 5 star rating - genuinely in my eyes this is a 3 to a 3.5 star max. Especially when you have to pay extra for everything - including a safe!! The distance from the airport etc should have been made a little more obvious - its not that easy to get to. In my view, it was expensive for what it was. Please be aware that you even have to pay for the beds on the beach every single day you go. Towels you have also hire out. We paid a 2000 for 7 days and I feel it wasn't worth that much. Also the pool - not enough beds as people take them early. Noise - room 101 - at 8 am every morning - lots and lot of noise from the kitchen below.

Lovely clean hotel and all very friendly staff

This was the second time I've stayed at the hotel and I would stay there again! It's location is perfect for everything I'd give it a ten if I could😃

Very nice hotel, perfect location, beutiful beach clean waters. We enjoyed every minuete of our stay. Very rich and ideally selected breakfast.

Only complaint, poor wifi

I wanted to fall in love with the resort since you are paying a premium. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Pools are fine except you can't get a chair unless you are up at 7am or after 4pm. Wifi in most of the resort is terrible! Their hotspot doesn't work well, even in the lobby. Only if you are in the VIP rooms can you find a dependable connection. Very frustrating for an expensive resort. My biggest issue was the staff. Front desk staff was fine and helpful. Lots of people were around to help with baggage and questions. My issue is with the cleaning staff and restaurant staff. As a Greek-American fluent in the language, I was astonished to overhear how some of the staff spoke around guests. Do they assume no one is Greek? Lots of Dutch, Polish, Norwegians, and Italians. I overheard in the hallways from the cleaning staff frustration about people not leaving their rooms so that they could clean them and then also in the restaurant when guests showed up last minute or late to their buffet breakfast. I couldn't believe how bitter and frankly lazy they sounded. Very inappropriate to speak badly of guests that way and assuming no one understands them! You don't even need to know Greek to see their outward frustration. I would happily give my money to a smaller establishment who appreciates me, especially in these hard times for Greece. Disappointed I spent so much money considering staff and wifi problems.

Trip was for our first anniversary which we were after some time to relax. We definitely got this here! Hotel staff were lovely and upgraded us with surprise gifts which awaited our return from Samaria Gorge! Only room downside were two beds rather than a double but beds were comfy still!

It's been very nice, very clean hotel, the best in the area I'd say. Thanks a lot, good deal.

Didn't get room we had booked. First two alternatives were not acceptive and had to make a fuss. Three pools but all small and feels crowed. Breakfast room big where you can sit but to get the food in a different area can be very busy but lots of choice and staff always have a smile. Beach small and not very clean but water nice. Sun bead cost euro 8. Central location and you can walk to all the restaurants.
