Best hotel in Plakias

Everything was great. The food was delicious and different each day. Customer service was amazing and client-focused. The only small downside (only a downside if you care about this) is the size of the pool, which wasn't too big.

Very nice place on the beach within walking distance to anything you may need. Our rooms were upgraded to the apartment upon arrival. The ladies at the front desk were awesome. Very kind and easy to work with. It is a Very nice and spacious accommodation. We also elected the breakfast and dinner option here. Every day the options were different and you had plenty of variety to choose from. It was nice to be able to sit back and relax for a few days and not have to go looking for something to eat. Would def book this place again.

I’ve been to this hotel for one week and I have to say that I had a great time! The service is perfect everyone is friendly, the food is very good and tasty and they offer every day different food. Besides the hotel lobby is very modern and cozy. The rooms are a little bit old fashioned but also clean and the beds are comfortable. I can’t complain about anything! This hotel is just very recommendable. :)

Ken & Margaret

This was our first visit to Plakias and we selected the Alianthos Garden Hotel after doing a lot of internet research. We were delighted with everything about the hotel and definately chose the best hotel in the area in this price bracket. Expedia's description is spot on. We didn't have dinner so can only comment on the breakfast food. This was adequate and the waiters were always topping up the buffet so everything fresh. The pool seemed a bit smaller than pictures might suggest and sun beds a little cramped - this may be the only disappointment for avid pool lovers but we are beach people, so no problem.

Perfectly located in Plakias for beaches, bars, tavernas & shops. Have been visiting for approximately 15 years. Medium sized hotel, in attractive surroundings. Pleasant dining options, very good food, lots of variety. Decent pool, reasonable number of loungers though limited space at pool which can be tricky to walk around. Rooms are simple but comfortable, nice private outdoor space . Small fridge in room but no tea/coffee making facilities. The only negative is the very small bathrooms which are quite dated & l think a large person or someone with mobility problems would struggle in the shower. Everything is spotlessly clean.The staff are lovely, big shout out to Ami a real character!

Another great holiday

This was our 6th trip here, so obviously there is a lot to love. Three times as a couple, this was 3rd with two younger generations. Staff are lovely - although there is a risk of wine recommendations becoming a sales pitch. There are lots more hotel-organised trips available than before. This can provide comfort and confidence to new visitors but you can save money if you choose to arrange them yourself. Pool area is beautifully kept and clean. There are not a huge number of sun beds - most people head to the very close beach, so pool never feels overcrowded. Baby pool and play area is good, and board games etc inside if you want them. Endless easy-listening cover version music was a bit distracting - would happily have more Greek background music on low volume. Great music night with live musicians and dancing. Plentiful food in restaurant but a risk of it being too easy to dine here every night - visit the local restaurants at least once for more local atmosphere.

Super freundliche Mitarbeiter*innen in allen Abteilungen. Tolles Frühstücks- und Abendessen in Buffet Form. Leider sind die Bäder und Duschen viel zu klein. Diesmal war leider unser Bett niht mehr das beste. Aber plakias als Ort mit Strand und die Strände in der Umgebung sind hervorragend. Und im Herbst nicht überlaufen.

Begonnen hat es mit einem herzlichen Empfang und geendet mit einer wehmütigen Verabschiedung 1 Woche später. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen, die Zimmer waren genau richtig, Frühstück und Abendessen (das wir auch einige Male ausgelassen hatten weil wir unterwegs waren) in angenehmem Ambiente, "Ausflugsberatung" von Nina sehr informativ ohne Zwang, unbedingt etwas buchen zu müssen. Insgesamt war der Urlaub sehr erholsam und ich kann das Hotel mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Hier findet man die griechische Gastfreundschaft, die man sich von einem Griechenlandurlaub erwartet - Danke und vielleicht bis bald einmal wieder!

Zimmer war sehr schön, jedoch laut, da sich unter uns das Restaurant befand. Lautes Schurren der Stühle, Rollwagen, Geschirrwagen und Nachbarn in Nebenzimmern waren ebenfalls zu hören. Aber das möchten wir als Hinweise und Tipps sehen, was man vielleicht noch verbessern könnte! Wir waren das erste Mal da und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen, so dass wir gerne wieder kommen und das Alianthos Garden Hotel gerne weiter empfehlen! Lieben Dank an das ganze Team!

Ich war 10 Tage im Alianthos Garden. Besonders beeindruckend hat mich die Herzlichkeit und Freundlichkeit aller Mitarbeiter. So habe ich es noch in keinem anderen Hotel erlebt. Es fing an mit einer herzlichen Begrüßung. Am nächsten Morgen hatte ich eine persönliche Urlaubsberaterin. Alle Kellner waren sehr aufmerksam und erfüllen alle Wünsche. Mein kleines Zimmer war zweckmäßig eingerichtet, auch an das kleine Bad gewöhnte ich mich schnell. Alles war sehr sauber. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und es gab eine Auswahl an Kopfkissen. Sowohl das Frühstück als auch das Dinner lockte mit allenmöglichen Leckereien in Buffetform. Es gibt eine griechische Küche. Super gut! Gerne komme ich mal wieder.
