Alexander House Hotel

We arrived quite late at the hotel and were greeted by a staff member who, unfortunately, wasn’t particularly welcoming. Since everything had already closed, there was no offer to check if we needed anything, not even a bottle of water. We were quickly shown to our room, located on the lower ground floor with a view of a wall—not the most inviting start to our stay. The pool area is lovely, but there are only 65 sunbeds for over 500 rooms, which makes it difficult to get a spot. As mentioned, guests reserve beds with towels, despite the hotel’s policy against it. Since there’s no lifeguard to manage the situation, this practice goes unchecked. To get a bed, you’ll need to be up early or, as we found, try your luck around 5pm. Another downside is the smoking around the pool. While I understand that Europe has different rules than the UK, it was inconsiderate for some guests to smoke right next to others, especially with children present. We also saw people bringing drinks and even eating pizza in the pool, and without any staff managing this, guests felt free to do whatever they liked. On a positive note, breakfast was definitely the highlight of the day, with a great selection. I do wish items like omelettes were available at lunchtime, as the lunch menu was quite similar to dinner, which became repetitive over time. Many guests, including ourselves, ended up eating out. The village and beach area, however, were a lovely surprise and by far the best part of the all-inclusive experience—far from the typical touristy spots found in the Greek Islands. Staff were hit or miss. The waiters and bar staff were friendly and chatty, but reception staff lacked warmth. They didn’t even ask how our stay had been when we checked out. Rooms are cleaned daily, but you need to be present to make sure supplies like soap and toilet paper are replenished. We went three days without hand soap simply because we were out and about and missed housekeeping. Thankfully, we had our own supply. Overall, we did enjoy our time here—the weather was beautiful, and we met some lovely people. However, given the shortcomings in service, the lack of pool management, and a few other issues, we wouldn’t stay here again.

Our stay at Alexander house was really lovely, me and my husband went with my parents,teenage son and his girlfriend. The hotel is clean the rooms are basic but nice. Breakfast could be better though there's alot of choice so something for everyone. Pizzas around the pool are delicious and seem to be constantly being made fresh. Lunch and evenings meals are very nice and again lot of choice. I do feel that the pool area isn't big enough for the amount of rooms in the hotel, there's not enough sunbeds for the amount of people we mostly went to the beaches, the restaurant gets very busy at times. Also I would say this hotel s not suitable if you are unsteady on your feet or find stairs difficult. However the staff are so lovely very welcoming . In particular Panos and Ali who work very hard behind the pool bar and take time to chat and get to know you. The beach's are beautiful and the views very picturesque from the hotel . We had a really lovely time here.

The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Our room was across the street from the main building, and it was fine. Not new, and with a laughable small TV, but everything was functional and clean.
The location is close to the beach, but up on the hill, so coming back from the sea meant climbing a bunch of stairs.
The food ranged from "okay" to "terrible". They grill the meat at the restaurant, but as far as we could tell, barely any spices were used, and the meat is always burnt black. Italian night was terrible, and I am sincerely sorry for any Italian guests that had to see it. Breakfast was fine if you didn't have too high standards. Food labels were frequently missing, so people with allergies beware. Barely any vegan options.
