Fabulous bed, really comfortable. On arrival bed made up as twin beds, but quickly changed to a double configuration. Room well appointed and thoughtfully laid out - power point at the dressing table mirror really helpful. Staff highly professional and friendly, in reception and in the breakfast room. Great location on the edge of the village - supermarket close by and easy 5 - 10 minute walk to a wide selection of bars and restaurants WiFi was great for us

An inside look at Alianthos Garden

If you are just looking for any hotel in Crete, then you are going to have to deal with a whole lot of choices, good and bad. But if you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, authentic and hospitable family hotel in Crete, combining comfortable and quality accommodation with a fascinating journey in Cretan tradition, history and nature, then the decision becomes much easier. It is not by chance that over 90% of our guests say that they would choose Alianthos Garden Hotel for their holidays again. And it is not by chance that over 30% of them do so, for many consecutive years. This is our reward, our gift. Alianthos Garden Hotel is located in the peaceful and beautiful Plakias, in Southern Crete, in front of the immense and mystical Libyan Sea. Everything here is made for holidays, even the “architecture” of the natural scenery. It is like God has specifically designed this place for the clearing of the mind and the relaxation of the soul. But it is not just its location in the heart of Plakias that makes Alianthos Garden Hotel one of the most beautiful hotels in Crete. Above all, it is the kindness, the hospitality and the open heart of our people.

“Fabulous holiday”
- • Leisure trip

Stand out was poor quality orange juice in the otherwise excellent breakfast buffet. Other components mainly high quality and local. Booking on booking.com we had booked a superior room, the most expensive on the site for this hotel - be aware that this doesn't get you the best room in the hotel. Our room was lovely with a pool view, but I was expecting a sea view. Really just a lesson for myself not to assume that all rooms are available on booking.com and be aware additional things may be available by contacting the hotel directly. The whole stay was great so criticisms are minor point
Fabulous bed, really comfortable. On arrival bed made up as twin beds, but quickly changed to a double configuration.
