Alianthos Suites

The property was in a wonderful location. It was so nice to escape for a week after first visiting Athens. It felt like a true getaway. The cove in the property was one of the best places we've ever swam in. Our room had a great view of the sunset from right outside our window. Within a 3 minute walking distance to the beach which also allowed for some great swims. When we didn't feel like going out of the property to eat, we were able to get a well cooked meal in the bar area. We'll definitely be staying the next time we're in the Chania area.

We stayed at Alianthos Suites for a quiet getaway away from the busy center of Chania, and the location was exactly what we wanted. The area is peaceful, and the pool area is lovely for relaxing. We also loved having a semi-private sandy beach within walking distance and the fantastic Irene's Tavern nearby for authentic meals. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch to start the day. However, the rooms are quite dated. The bathroom and closets feel like they haven't been touched in years, and we were surprised that the room safe required an extra fee to use. Even with sea-facing rooms, it was quite dark inside during the day. Practically, it was a bit frustrating: they still use physical keys instead of cards, the WiFi was non-existent in the rooms (only worked by the pool), and the kitchen' is just an old stove meant for reheating, not cooking. A microwave would have been much more useful. Great for the views and peace, but the interiors need modernization.

After a disapointing check in service everything was great. All the staff were excellent Mariana produced an excellent breakfast for us and Abi was very helpful when we had some minor issues in the room. The room was kept very clean with fresh towels provided by the lovely friendly cleaning staff. All the staff made our pet dog Gizmo very welcome too. Will highly recommend the Alianthos suites for a peaceful relaxing holiday in a beautiful area of Crete. We will definately return.

Excellent, I felt like home. Great owners.
