Although no stranger to Paphos, this was our first visit to Alexander the Great.  
We did not regret choosing it for my birthday celebration however as it certainly lived up to it's reputation.
Great location,..easy walk to the harbour.  Nice room with walk in shower as requested and fabulous sunsets. Good food, breakfast was great, although I have to agree with others who have mentioned that the evening meal can be rather a 'bun fight'. I would imagine something to do with everyone  eating indoors in the evening in March of course.   Please don't be put off though (we enjoyed the half board + option,)  plus you have the option of the fab' a la cart restaurants too (remember to book.)
Overall, the hotel is great and
the excellent staff play a major part in making it so.
 I could not fault one person amongst staff members . Across the board, they genuinly seem to care about each guest enjoying their time at the hotel.  We felt that we were treated as friends which was really nice.
So, all you lovely people at Alexander the Great, thank you for helping to make my birthday extra special. I can thoroughly recommend.

First visit to Alexander the Great.

This is our 3rd visit to the hotel and we are already planning another holiday later this year. The hotel is in a great location with just a short walk to the harbour. We decided to book half board this time and the food is high quality with plenty of options for breakfast and evening meal. They also  provide a free drink to have with your evening meal (recommend the red wine) and 1 litre of water. All of the staff are amazing and always greet you with a smile. The guaranteed sunbed policy also helps you to further enjoy your holiday, so no need for the early morning towel rush. Can’t wait for our next visit in November as the staff ensure that you have a real quality and memorable holiday.

Our 3rd visit but definitely not our last

I originally booked my trip to Paphos as a last minute solo holiday. Having never been to Cyprus before, I was keen to find somewhere that seemed safe for a female solo traveller and the reviews for Alexander the Great made it feel like the right choice for me. In the end, my sister decided she wanted to tag along so I added her onto the booking and what an amazing time we had!
The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a porter who took our luggage and then we were quickly checked in and given a welcome drink. The porter then showed us to our room, whilst giving us a brief tour of the facilities.
We stayed in Room 45 which was one of the cabana rooms with private plunge pool and we were absolutely delighted with it. While the room itself wasn't the largest, it was more than enough space for the two of us. The bed was huge and there was plenty of wardrobe storage for our clothes. The bathroom was a great size with a whirlpool bath, large walk in shower and plenty of toiletries were provided plus huge towels, slippers and robes. Everything was spotless and housekeeping did a great job every day - including bringing us chocolates in the evening! 
Outside our room we had comfy sun loungers, plus a stunning sea view (with Paphos Castle visible in the distance!) and it was facing the serenity pool in the adults only area. Sunbeds are allocated to guests and there are QR codes attached so you can order poolside drinks as you wish, but they also have super attentive staff who will come and take drinks orders also. The flavoured ice teas and caramel iced lattes are lush (for those like me who don't drink alcohol!) 
Food wise, the buffets were great and had plenty of choice. Breakfast was lovely, we also tried room service one day which was brilliant and we also ate at the Greek, Italian and Asian restaurants which were delicious.
I also visited the spa on one day and had the Tension Release treatment which was a full body scrub, mask and massage and my massage therapist was amazing. I'd highly recommend it! 
The hotel location is also absolutely perfect. It's only a short walk to visit Paphos Castle and local shops/bars/restaurants and there's a mall nearby plus various tombs/catacombs etc. depending on what you like to do. As the hotel is right on the beachfront, it's really easy to walk around and find everything.
Overall, I was so happy with Alexander the Great and will definitely be back again soon! I'd also be more than happy to visit again solo as I really did feel safe and looked after by the whole team. Thank you! 

Stunning hotel with fantastic staff and perfect location! 

Revisited hotel after many years and weren't disappointed.  It has changed but standards have not. Staff, service and facilties very good.
Sunbed allocation is perfect for guests. 
However, we feel we have to mention the evening meals. Appreciate a big influx at meal times but did feel slightly crowded  the main disappointment was the food itself...it was only slightly Luke warm  infact on 2 evening's we had to leave it. The lay out was wrong,  Code is we que from right to left however on this  buffet the first items were ice cream and deserts.  The salad bar was split and  main carvery server was in the centre of hot plates? Everyone was just darting from one end to the other causing confusion with no structure. 
Attention needed to this area. We spoke to several guests who all had same complaint.several couples agreed the food was cold.  Again we know alot of people to serve and staff were very attentive with drinks etc but we wernt the only guests complaining. Breakfast and other restaurants were excellent.

Lovely holiday great staff

Another fantastic visit to our favourite hotel in Paphos.  Always guaranteed the most amazing welcome by the friendly, efficient staff, in this classic, comfortable hotel.  Ideally situated within walking distance to the harbour, or close to bus stops, with lovely sea views and a lovely coastal walk just outside.   The food & service has been excellent, as usual, with a different theme each evening, ie Carvery, Italian, oriental, etc.  plus alternative speciality restaurants, Italian, oriental and Cypriot for the perfect, luxury meals. As a bonus, we have had exceptional weather, just perfect for a relaxing holiday.  Thank you to all the wonderful staff for your care, attention to detail, friendliness, making it another perfect holiday for us.
