    The hospitality benchmark

    rating02 Oct 2025

    During our first vacation at Alianthos, we noticed how well this hotel is managed. Many visits later our point of view rests unchanged. Friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble, in short, you feel welcome here. Restaurant Amalthea manages to deliver the best cuisine you could wish for, every year again. All credits to chef Sotiris, who presents refined, flavorful dishes that do NOT become boring after a while.It is with some sadness that we stayed at Alianthos for the last time as we have always known it. Major renovations, including a new building, are planned for this winter. This is a wonderfully ambitious project, through which the Vardakis family will take the spirit of Alianthos to an even higher level.We are very enthusiastically looking forward to it and wish you every success with this beautiful project! Τα λέμε!Marc & Isa Alianthos Garden Hotel , Owner at Alianthos Estate Resort, responded to this review Dear Marc & Isa, thank you so much for your amazing review and the lovely words. It warms our heart to read about your experiences and it fills us with joy. We are excited for the new project to come and hope to welcome you back after the renovation.Warm regardsVardakis Family

    Paradise Garden Hotel in Plakias

    rating25 Sept 2025

    Alianthos Garden Hotel in Plakias, Crete is a real example of paradise by the sea. Those who experience the long transver are rewarded at journey’s end. The transfer is an opportunity to get to know the island in all her beauty. A sample of greater things.The warmest of greetings at reception is the start of a magical stay. Enjoy a cocktail at Nymphes, the Hotel bar, supplied by friendly staff. Nothing is too much for them to do. Say hello to the visionary owner, Manolis, I like to call him Mr. Plakias. This is a true example of how a family run hotel should be. Enjoy the special Cretan music night and dance away with Athina. You will love it. The Hotel Amalthea restaurant provides a tasty mix of traditional Cretan and Mediteranean cusine. You have to see it to believe it Alianthos Garden Hotel , Owner at Alianthos Estate Resort, responded to this review Dear Mick, thank you from all our heart for your lovely words and this amazing review. We are delighted to have you with us for so many years already and can´t wait to welcome you back soon, in your home away from home in bautiful Plakias.

    If the gods smiled in your favor you couldn't have a better experience.

    rating21 Aug 2025

    If the gods smiled in your favor you couldn't have a better experience. From a landscape and architectural design perspective the hotel is beautifully situated giving you curated views of the award winning Plakias beachfront. The choice of flora on the site includes a variety of local plant species mixed with English style hedges. There is a pool, terras and play area outside where you also have lemon and pomegranate trees. This habitat invites owls and other birds to come visit. The courtyard in the center of the hotel respects the existing pine and palm trees and also allows one to keep an eye on your kids in the lobby while relaxing outside. The rooms are clean and the balcony is protected by the trees while also giving a view. They have kids activities planned which gives parents a chance to relax. A couple of nights per week they have traditional music from Crete and those that know the traditional dances lead the way. The staff is super helpful and the owners a beautiful family. A great family vacation. I hope it stays as nice as it grows.
