Alexander House Hotel

At first this hotel was a bit of a shock but it's quirkiness grew on me during the week we stayed. The room was very small with a double bed for 2 friends sharing. No shelves or drawers, only a cupboard with 4 hangers for 2 girls staying for a week! Nowhere to put anything in the bathroom either but we made do with a spare table we took from outside.

The Aircon didn't work to start with and the night porter wasn't going to change our room, said we just had to deal with it.
At first we thought our room was very far away but due to the nightlife at the bar and poolside it turned out to be a blessing as it was quiet with not many people passing by.

However, the food was good, always something different. Fortis and the staff from the dinning room were excellent 👌🏼. Always smiling and joking and very helpful. The kitchen staff too were great.

The pool was nice but small and if you weren't there but 0800 or before you weren't getting a sunbed. Not enough for everyone. This also applied to a seat in the evening at the bar.
The all inclusive drinks weren't great. Limited choice and taste wise not great.

The location was good. For excursions we were last pick up and first dropped off so less time on the bus. Also close to the airport. And the beach was very close however absolutely mobbed so we didn't go.

The last day we got to keep our room which was great as our pick up wasn't until evening time. We made the most of what we had and enjoyed ourselves but if you are picky or are expecting a lot this is not the hotel for you.

A great thank you to Victoria on reception, very friendly. Fortis and his staff in the kitchen, always smiling. Denis, Anastasia and the staff at the bar. Very good service!

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.
