Simply Fantastic

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Jul 2024
Just back from an amazing stay at the Alexander the Great and already looking at when to go back.
The staff are fantastic all across the hotel (and plentiful), it is unfair to pick out any in particular as they are all good but I will give a mention to Dipesh in the pool bar who couldn’t do enough for you despite some customers being extremely rude in their behaviour. Our daughter got heat stroke whilst we were there and within seconds, 5 staff were on hand helping, the Management phoned to check how she was and offering further help, even the General Manager was aware and checked on her.
The main restaurant has a different theme each night and provide a great variety of high quality food - definitely not the same thing each night. We also ate at the Asian and Italian, preferred the former as there was simply too much food with 7 courses in the Italian.
The entertainment was relatively low key but of a high standard with the team making sure they interacted with guests. They put on shows across three hotels from the Group and when not putting on an evening show at Alexander the Great, guest acts come in instead.
The sun bed allocation system works well. We were allocated one on the grass and initially thought we would prefer nearer the pool but were told that none were available but go back later and they would see if they could relocate us - we didn’t go back, the view from the grass over the sea was amazing and listening to the waves was really relaxing, the 15m walk to the pool wasn’t a hardship!
The only thing we would do differently would be to book a full sea view room rather than have the side view. There was nothing wrong with the room, just a personal preference.
Thanks to all at the hotel, look forward to seeing you soon
Date of stay: July 2024
Room Tip: The sea view and sound of waves from the sun beds on the grass is amazing. The side sea view...

Reviewed 31 July 2024

Excellent hotel , amazing location , stayed B&B , could not fault the breakfast options .
Rooms were a little dated but very clean and always cleaned on request .
Allocated sunbeds is really good as no need to be up early to get a bed , very close to the sea which was much needed in the climate .
The main purpose of our stay was to attend a family wedding being held at the hotel and i have to say the whole day was amazing and the wedding co-ordinator and staff from the hotel ran the whole event with military precision. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking at getting married in Paphos to consider this hotel as your venue

Only real downside was the main pool temperature .. it was like getting in to a luke warm bath ( not sure if this is out of the hotels hands due to the constant hot temperatures ) .
Minor downsides , the pool bar needed more staff , at times were waiting for 10 - 15 mins to get served , and for some reason the beer off the pulls across the hotel was very poor quality .

If returning to Paphos would look to use this hotel again as the plus points far outweighed the negatives

Room tip: If your not happy with your allocated sun loungers ensure to ask if you can be relocated as the pool team will accommodate if possible

The staff - you are treated with respect, kindness and they want you to be happy. Whoever does the staff training - keep doing the job.
The food - excellent on all levels in all restaurants. We only used the night time restaurant twice as we prefer to eat out. The breakfast was great, lots of choice and the quality and bespokeness equally impressive.
Pre booked sun loungers - great idea - thanks.
Sun lounger bar service - great
The rooms - fine , air con worked, rooms cleaned every day if required - all the staff were great.
Would we come here again - yes. We would go - at the start of end of the season though as July was too hot for us.

Really lovely hotel , perfectly situated . Staff are very friendly, helpful and work extremely hard
Particularly loved the Italian and Asian restaurants, spectacular food and service. Enjoyed swimming in the main pool, and loved the serenity of the adult only area, cooling down in the plunge pool. Had a perfect view from our sea view room. Just one thing stops me giving it a 5 star is the rooms need updating. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend and return , thank you 😎

This hotel is fantastic. From the staff to the facilities to the entertainment it’s overall amazing. The staff have always treated us extremely well and we are always so grateful, shout out to Kiri, Greg and Bastian on the pool bar. We had the opportunity to watch our daughter Lauren perform at this fantastic hotel on Saturday night.

We had the pleasure of watching Sweet Soul Music and it was brilliant! The harmonies and overall connection between the team members was definitely shown on stage, you can tell they are more like family than friends. Lauren, Matthew, Alexandra, Sarah and Madison a big WELL DONE to you all! You all work extremely hard and it shines through. Everyone we spoke to adores Lauren and speaks very highly of her, you have some lovely guests at the hotel who come to the hotel specifically every year just to watch you guys!

We will be back in September. Cant wait to watch more!
