Das Essen war allgemein hervorragend und das sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Personal ist besonders hervorzuheben!
Ich/Wir kommen schon seit 20 Jahren nach Plakias und das Hotel Alianthos Garden war mir/uns immer ein zweites Zuhause!!
Herzlichen Dank an Alle, besonders auch an die ganze Familie Vardakis

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.

Its our second stay here and once again, it was superb. The perfect place to unwind, super close to the beach and a great location to explore further afield. Wonderful meals, lovely happy staff and we'll be back again soon. A huge thank you once again to the staff & management for providing such a friendly caring hotel for us travelers / Adventurers. Your awesome!
It would be an insult to even consider anything negative!

The room was OK, very clean, but what was truly impressive was the service quality overall and especially in the restaurant. Food was great and I received 5 star service.
Room door isolation is really bad, you can hear everything from the corridor.

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.

5.0
We enjoyed every moment staying there. There was everything for a flawless holiday, the location is perfect, close to the beach and main street. The buffet breakfast and dinner are absolutely exceptional, the selection is so huge that if you want to taste a tiny bit of everything you'll be barely able to eat it all :) Everyone of the personnel are very friendly, helpful, respectful and unintrusive - top class professional attitude. The weather was unfortunately too windy to enjoy the beautiful beaches to the fullest, but thanks to Alianthos Garden we've had perfect time in Plakias. Already looking forward when we will come here next time <3
In our building (rooms with garden view) there was a lovely inner yard, but the wind gusts were blowing really loud there, right next to our room door - luckily we've had good earplugs, otherwise it would be too noisy to sleep. (this is of course not a hotels' fault, but just to let people know and prepare.. Plakias is this kind of windy place sometimes).

This is an excellent family run hotel, with great people working at it. The whole visit we had a feeling visiting our friends rather than hotel. The hotel is spotless, room clean to perfection each day. Herbs garden around hotel, are great location to spend evenings.
Also, I have to point out restaurant, with tasteful and well presented food, not sure if I can pick what we liked more, main course or deserts.
One tip, for future travelers, organise and book rent a car from reception directly, as it is straight forward process, probably cheaper than using external agency. Cars are in great shape, and can wait you at airport.
We will definitely go back,
Fridge and air condition needs replacement

We were fortunate to find this small hotel and enjoy every single minute of it. Everyone was extremely friendly, the food (both breakfast and dinner) and the drinks were fantastic. But what we most like was the the ambience of this hotel. Everything was great.

really nice staff, excellent wine list, restaurant and breakfast super. Daily cleaning , and comfortable bed.
Alles gut. The only thing I did like much is not related to the hotel, it is the beach bars only accept cash.

Great Hotel in a perfect location, 2min walking to Plakias beach and the start of the village. Very clean, comfy beds, friendly staff and the breakfast was excellent! Pool was ok too and nice to have for a quick dip after breakfast and before the beach. Will definitely stay here again when I visit Plakias again.

The staff were so lovely and friendly. The location was perfect, right on the bay. Lovely bars for watching the sunset. definitely our preferred part of the island, being south the weather was always better and the sunsets were spectacular. we were half board, the food was delicious and varied and the waiting staff just lovely. couldn’t fault it.

Bathrooms and showers could use some updating
