8/10 Very good

The staff at the reception is very friendly and helpful but the room service doesn’t always respect the do not disturb sign and will not only walk in (more than once) whether you’re still in bed or in the shower but will insist to ask to clean the room even when you say no. It’s unfortunate because the rest of the experience, amenities, site, etc. Was excellent.

Overpriced Hotel with Hidden Extra Charges
First of all, the hotel was definitely not worth the money we paid. Many services that should be included in a five-star hotel came with additional charges here. For example, even if you are an all-inclusive guest, you still have to pay 5 euros for one sunbed on the beach. Access to the indoor pools and sauna costs 20 euros per person, and the water park is also an extra charge. They told us that beach towels could only be changed every two days. Moreover, one of the reception staff members (not all, but this one in particular) was extremely rude. For the price we paid, we essentially just got a bed to sleep in and breakfast.

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.

Nice hotel, near many attractions
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.

Good food, nice rooms can be recommended
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

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.

Perfect vacation- we love this resort!
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.

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!
