Great hotel. Cannot wait to return.

Our 2nd time staying at Alianthos Garden. A wonderful family run hotel and you can tell how passionate they are to look after their guests. Location is excellent. Staff are so helpful and friendly. Spotlessly clean. Rooms and bathrooms could do with an update but I believe this is happening in 2026. Cannot wait to return.

See above - bathrooms but this is changing

Very nice hotel with excellent staff

Very nice hotel. Room was comfortable and staff was nice. Walking distance to town. We had breakfast and dinner included because we were scheduled to be hiking and didn't want to look for dinner when tired from the hike and drive. Surprisingly good with large buffet style dining. Breakfast was also nice. Parking was next to hotel. The front desk went well above the norm on an issue, trying to find a solution to something that had nothing to do with the hotel.

nothing

Fantastic food!

Very pretty hotel in a great spot. The buffet food was fantastic quality for both breakfast and dinner.

Our room was a tad dated which was fine but the bathroom was a throw back to the sixties or seventies- very past it’s sell by date and in desperate need of bringing into the 21st century!

10.0 / 10.0

A class act of a hotel

Breakfast was one of the best hotel buffets I've ever experienced, with a wide variety of breakfast items including eggs 3 ways, waffles, pancakes, fruit, veggy spreads, pastries, breads.......anything you could imagine for breakfast! The staff were attentive, welcoming, and efficient.

Nothing - it was 2 days in a paradise hotel, attached to a paradise sandy beach on a quiet bay.

Lovely hotel, great food

Lovely hotel in beautiful grounds. Comfortable rooms. Nice to be given a free cocktail on arrival. Super buffet dinner and breakfast. Friendly staff. We only stayed one night, but could see there were lots of options for activities and hotel is ideal for families to have a lovely relaxed holiday. We'd happily stay here again.

The pool opening hours felt a bit limiting - we understand why and that safety is paramount. A suggestion would be to allow adults only length swimming for 30mins at the beginning and end of the day. It didn't spoil our stay at all though as the sea is almost on the doorstep, so we swam in the sea instead!

The best stay I have had by far in Greece!

Everything was amazing. This hotel was the best I have stayed in all my many trips of Greece and I have visited Athens several times and many of the islands! The staff go out of their way to meet all your needs. The food is exceptional, very fresh and with ample options of local cuisine. In all our stay no two meals were the same in fact the buffet is very well planned to have different dishes at every meal! Everything is fresh, local and abundant. The attention to detail is amazing! Children are well catered for and the rooms are impeccably clean! All the staff from the Hotel general manager, the owners and their extended family, the reception staff, the entertainment, housekeepers, chefs, cooks, waiters and barmen are all amazing people and go out of their way to meet and greet all guests and are constantly asking if we need anything and constantly smiling. This hotel is a true gem and probably Crete’s best kept secret! The location next to Preveli and Kourtaliotiko Gorge is very convenient and really enhances the unique Cretan experience! This Hotel is well worth a stay and I really hope we will have an occasion to come back!

Very little as everything was top notch , but if I had to mention something I would suggest that the hotel looks into building a larger pool and deck area may be they can expand the present pool area or build a new pool on the field opposite to the present pool. But there are also amazing beaches just a five minute stroll down the road so having a small pool is not such an issue .

Good value for money. I would recommend this hotel for families.

Great service and food. The hotel is very clean. Location is very convenient and the parking space is great. Nice areas for small kids, including toys and a small swimming pool.

The bathrooms are dated and small. The main pool was always full because it is not large enough.

Perfect location, amazing food and staff

The food and staff were amazing. The location was great as well

The rooms could do with a bit of an upgrade. We didn’t like the breakfast and dinner policy of having to sign up in advance for an exact time of arrival, but they were not really strict about it so in the end not really a problem. It’s just that being on holidays one doesn’t really want a strict schedule, kind of goes against the whole point of a holiday.

lovely welcome from reception staff , and all staff throughout stay . Food exceptional easily 5 star plus and restaurant

central in plakias clean welcoming pleasant lay out lovely appearance , reception area and restaurant area and outside

felt a bit exposed on the loungers at the pool area ( as raised up from dining area ) and a bit tricky walking past other loungers to get past .

Exceptionally helpful desk staff. They deserve awards

The staff at the front desk was superbly friendly and helpful. The location was good with a spacious parking lot. The room was very nice with comfortable beds.

If visiting again, I would not choose to include buffet meals but would eat in town.

9.0 / 10.0

Friendly, welcoming and wonderful

The room was clean and comfortable, the building overall feels cozy and "resort-y". The food was really good. It's not often a buffet feels so well-made and offers actual variety, but there was a lot to choose from, and all of it was good. So much of the whole experience felt thoughtful, welcoming, and caring. Like someone really wants this to feel special. And nowhere is that more evident than in the staff. This was one of the best and friendliest experiences I've had in a hotel ever.

As good as the staff is, the restaurant staff was almost… too good. Like, there were maybe 10-12 waiters working there at breakfast. Which seems insane considering that it's a buffet, no foods actually needs to be served. They're all just there to remove empty plates and serve drinks, and when they're not doing that they basically stand next to the table waiting for you to finish eating. I get it, service is the name of the game, and attentive staff is wonderful. But this hits just slightly off-mark.

Wonderful staff!!

Nice resort style hotel right in the heart of Plakias. Lovely to be able to stroll the seawalk and town just steps from the hotel. Breakfast and dinner buffets were included, the food was good with lots to choose from and the restaurant staff were wonderful! As were the reception staff, they made sure we were happy and enjoying ourselves. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a resort type hotel.

The hotel was at full capacity so you had to sign up for specific breakfast and dinner times. It worked out alright, but not our personal style.

Nice family hotel with wonderful restaurant & kitchen

The hotel location is about 200m far from the beach. Very good location, close to beach, shops, beach walk and restaurants. The hotel has amazing restaurant with very good food. A food serving is perfect.

There was VERY strong wind during our stay there. But this is definitely not the hotel mistake. We should stay in theis hotel and the place longer. The next time.
