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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

Top Hotel, familiär geführt, ganz besonders hervorzuheben ist das äußerst freundliche und zuvorkommende Personal, angefangen von der Rezeptionistin beim Empfang über das Servicepersonal und auch die Reinigungsdamen, sowie das ausgezeichnete Essen. Kaum hat man den letzten Bissen gemacht wird der Teller bereits abserviert oder kaum ist die Kaffeetasse leer, wird schon nachgeschenkt. Die Auswahl beim Buffet ist großartig und auch die Qualität der Speisen ist hervorragend. Wir haben Halbpension gebucht und Mittags mal an der Bar eine Kleinigkeit gegessen, was preislich auch sehr in Ordnung war. Die Anlage wurde erst kürzlich neu renoviert. Die Reinigungskräfte sind ständig am Putzen. Der Poolbereich ebenfalls top, mit Barservice bei den Liegen sowie auch am hoteleigenen Strandabschnitt, den wir allerdings nicht genutzt haben. Wir können vom Strand her den FKK-Bereich ganz am linken Ende der Bucht (15 min zu Fuß) empfehlen, das ist unserer Meinung nach der schönste Abschnitt. Die Zimmer hatten alles was man braucht, Duschgel, Shampoo, Bodylotion wird zur Verfügung gestellt. Große Dusche und Platz am Waschtisch. Ein kleines Fitnessstudio mit ausreichend Geräten im Holzdesign ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Der Ort selbst ist kompakt, mit einigen Tavernen, Café Bars, Supermärkten und Souvenirshops - für uns perfekt für einen entspannten Urlaub. Das einzig negative: unser Urlaub hat leider nur eine Woche gedauert :(
