Incredible hotel. Fantastic holiday ⭐️

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 Jul 2024via mobile
Incredible!
We were a family of 2 adults and 5 of our kids (20,20,17,17 and 13 years)
The hotel was spotlessly clean, staff are all so helpful, food was amazing. Huge variety. Always something for a fussy eater - the chefs will make pasta to order with any sauce if there nothing a fussy eater fancies.
Sunbeds allocated on arrival - on our first day we were by the sea but I asked to swop to go to the pool and the following day we were switched for the rest of our 2 week stay. Sunbeds had bar codes on them to order food, drinks or towels to your sunbeds!
The entertainment team worked incredibly hard. It’s not normally our thing but they worked so hard you couldn’t help but want to watch and get involved!
There is a supermarket across the road which is cheaper than the hotel but there is a much cheaper supermarket down by the harbour which is only a 10 minute stroll away.
The gym in the hotel was good. Wasn’t huge but had ample equipment in it for a good workout.
Indoor pool was lovely and cool with sunbeds there also.
Also directly opposite the hotel is a pharmacy, laundrette and lovely Chinese restaurant which also does take away. There is another restaurant which is well shaded by trees opposite the hotel which has lovely food, huge portions and very reasonable.
Opposite again is a great bar called The Griff Inn!
We had an amazing time here and would recommend it 1000%

Just back from an amazing stay at Alexander The Great Beach Hotel! So many positive things to list, I hope I remember them all! Food - really really good! Every day a different theme with lots of choice. No designated kids section but always something suitable for fussy kids, such as pizza or chicken nuggets. There are other restaurants you can book to eat in but book early on in your stay as they are popular! The 7 Orchids Asian restaurant was amazing! Four courses with complimentary food as well. Don't eat much before you go there!
Staff - all the staff are hard working and so nice and helpful. From the restaurant staff to the cleaners who come every day. I never got the name of the lady who seems to oversee the main restaurant but her passion for her work shone through. I loved watching her join in with the Cypriot dancing!
Rooms - some people have mentioned they are a bit dated but I didn't think ours was that bad! It did smell a bit of smoke on our arrival. We had a nice big room for a family of 4. Lots of storage space. There's a fridge with a mini bar, but the staff didn't seem to mind that we used the fridge for some of our own drinks and food. Wouldn't take from the mini bar if I were you - prices are way above what you can get from the shop over the road.
Pool - a big selling point of this place is the sunbeds which are allocated to your room when you arrive, so no stupid 6am rush to the pool! Lots of beds by the pool and lots overlooking the sea. The only downside is that there is a public footpath right through the grounds, so there are always people walking past. It never felt unsafe though and there is a security guard wandering around often. Holidays can make you feel a little too complacent and trusting though, so we tended to tag team our time at the pool with the kids. Luckily they are old enough to not need us watching over them all the time. If you don't like where you've been allocated, you can ask the pool team to move and they will do their best to accommodate you. No big inflatables allowed in the pool and the only complaint from me is that the water is too warm! It's like a bath, so if you want a refreshing cool down from the sun, you're not going to get one! Go down to the sea instead, which is just a short walk away.
Entertainment - bit cheesy as is always the case but not bad. The humidity was awful when we went so huge respect to the entertainment team for singing and dancing in that heat!
Location - excellent. Just a short walk from the town. Great views of the sunset from the hotel. Very close to the sea for a swim and watersports.
All in all a fantastic holiday and would definitely book again!

We have just returned from the Alexander The Great Beach Hotel after a 10 night stay, and the management and staff at the hotel were extremely helpful and catered for all needs.
Great location close to the beach , and everyone allocated a sunbed for the duration of their stay - we will definitely visit the Alexander The Great again - amazing holiday!

Amazing. I am 49 years old and been away every year from a young age. These guys are the friendliest staff ever! The food is simply delicious, excellent quality. Location is superb - on the beach and spotlessly clean. We will definitely be coming back. Still here now so back to watching the Great entertainment. That's all folks!

Room tip: 2 Euros on the bus (stop outside hotel) to Waterpark. Transfer 20 mins.
