Platoni Elite

I spent a lot of time researching the perfect place for us to stay when visiting Rhodes and Platoni Elite seemed to tick every box before we booked and has absolutely ticked every box during our stay here. If you want a relaxing, authentic holiday that’s conveniently located with excellent hosts and food… then trust me and book this place. Location - Platoni Elite is 15 minutes on a bus from the airport and 15 minutes from the iconic Old Town. This was great for us because we didn’t want to have to travel too far once we’d been on a flight for four hours and we didn’t want to travel far for a day of exploring. The hotel/apartments itself are set back slightly from the main road which bodes well for peaceful sleeping! Directly opposite the hotel is a big supermarket so you can easily stock up on essentials and you can pack light and buy some stuff there. The bus network is reliable, cheap and quick so I’d recommend using buses rather than wasting money on taxis. You can pay €3 a journey in cash to the driver. Hotel itself - comprised of both rooms and apartments. Our apartment is beautifully presented and really clean (cleaner visits everyday and provides fresh towels). There is lots of space and a large balcony, powerful shower with essential toiletries and a very comfortable bed. Air con is great too! The grounds have a large pool (always clean) and a small kids pool. Sun beds are plentiful and you’ll be given a pool towel when you arrive so no need to pack one! There is a small garden area too. The grounds are kept clean, tidy and there’s enough space for everyone staying without it being too “resorty” or generic. Restaurant - I can’t express greatly enough how amazing the food and service is here. For a start, portion sizes are so generous that it’s near impossible to eat an appropriate amount, unless you have a lot of willpower which I don’t! As we’ve learnt from one of our lovely hosts, Greek culture shows love and appreciation by serving big portions and lots of yummy food and by that standard, we felt a lot of love while we’ve been here. We opted for the bed and breakfast option for our booking and the breakfast was the best we’ve had anywhere in the world. We were treated everyday to fresh breads, jams, honey, chocolate spread, a fresh variety of cut fruit with either fluffy pancakes or French toast or loukoumades (Greek donuts) AND then any form of fresh eggs AND fresh pastries. The omelettes are delicious! We left the breakfast table everyday ready to burst and extremely satisfied. For lunch (which we only managed to have two days out of seven because of the breakfast keeping us full) - I highly recommend the gyros. Best quality gyros we’ve seen and eaten on the island - even the chips are fresh and homemade! The lunch salads are also massive and filling. Dinner - is served between 1700-2230 each day. Every single meal we ate was perfect. Each day, we were presented with fresh breads with a delicious homemade dip and then a ho

We stayed here (family of 5) and had an amazing time. This small, family run hotel is in a perfect location, close to the beach, airport, local restaurants and about 10 minutes on a bus of or taxi to Rhodes town centre. From the minute we arrived the owners went out of their way to ensure we d everything we needed. The level of service and in particular the fresh local food on offer was exceptional. We had one of the 3 bedroom villas and the whole place was spotless and maintained to a very high level. The poolside is very relaxing and as some other reviewers have said, there were always lots of free sun beds throughout the day. If you’re looking for a gem of a location with hosts who treat you like part of their extended family- this place is for you.
