Reviews
Food was the biggest disappointment. For vegetarians, the choice was poor – salads often came with surprise ham or fish, and protein was scarce. Desserts and breakfast pastries tasted cheap and artificial, juices were basically liquid candy, and croissants only made sense if you’ve never actually had a croissant. The only good dinner we had was at La Oliva, the à la carte option. To add to the chaos, the restaurants and bars sit right next to each other, blasting different music at the same time – imagine trying to enjoy your meal while stuck between two competing DJs. The gym lacked mats and weights, the “welcome fruit plate” never appeared, and the free spa massage for new guests was something we only learned about by accident. At the pool, sunbeds were “reserved” with towels already in the morning while their owners were still at breakfast, and the hotel didn’t enforce its own rules. The kids’ pool had a great shaded spot, but most of the water attractions didn’t work, and for some reason the water there was the coldest in the entire resort.
On the bright side, the staff were incredibly kind and always smiling (even though they seemed to work from sunrise to sunset), the sea in front of the hotel was beautifully clean and the watermelon was consistently sweet and delicious.
But here’s the kicker: the price. This place is marketed and priced like a 5-star resort, but in reality it’s closer to a 3-star with an attitude. If the stay had cost half as much, I’d chalk it up as “you get what you pay for.” But at these rates, the glossy 5-star label feels more like a punchline than a promise.
The location is unbeatable — directly on the sand, with beautiful views. The staff were truly outstanding: always kind, ready to listen, and eager to find solutions to any issue. For me, the personnel alone deserve a full five stars.
Where I was disappointed:
Unfortunately, the infrastructure, services, and overall experience didn’t match the advertised 5-star standard. Examples:
• We had to wait three days to receive an iron.
• The cleaning service often didn’t change the sheets when asked, frequently brought too few towels, and sometimes left dirty coffee cups unwashed.
• The pool chair system was inconvenient, and you had to act quickly to get one.
• The Wednesday Greek Grill show cost nearly €30 per person, even though the stay was already expensive.
• There was no all-inclusive option, only half-board.
• Furniture and facilities felt dated in places, not matching 5-star expectations.
Overall, I would rate the experience as a 3.5 to 4-star level — not a true 5-star. I booked through TUI, and both their site and the hotel’s site list it as 5-star, but in my opinion, that’s misleading without significant upgrades or greater transparency. Either the hotel should improve its facilities and services to match the 5-star label, or adjust the pricing to reflect the actual experience.
Final thought: I truly appreciate the amazing staff and the beachfront location, but I left feeling the price was too high for what was offered.
The complex is large and feels like a picturesque village and is pleasant to walk around in between variety of buildings and apartments.
The service everywhere was courteous and friendly (cleaning, maintenance, reception staff and restaurant staff).
We had an excellent service experience at the food and dining service through our stay.
We had a very positive and pleasant experience at The Alexander beach hotel!
