This hotel features a peaceful location just 2.5 kilometres from the vibrant Kallithea, one of the largest municipalities in Greece. The picturesque village of Kryopigi, on Kassandra peninsula, is a short driving distance away while Thessaloniki Airport is about a 90-minute drive. Guests will find a long sandy beach where the turquoise waters blend perfectly with the blue of sky. The hotel rooms have been finely furnished and tastefully decorated in soothing tones to create a relaxing atmosphere where travellers may feel instantly right at home. Those wishing to enjoy full privacy may prefer the comfortable bungalows featuring the same services as the hotel rooms but offering its own terrace. As for the dining options, the famous chef Tassos Ferekidis offers a choice of delicious culinary creations inspired by Mediterranean recipes. Breakfast is offered in a Greek buffet style and visitors can buy home made products as souvenirs at the onsite minimarket.
absolutely terrible food options and no food for children...more steps than a roman amphitheatre never go to this hotel worst experience ever 0⭐️
Disappointment with the Pool
Unfortunately, my experience with the pool was quite disappointing. I had brought an inflatable pool float with a mesh bottom and wanted to use it, but the lifeguard would not allow me to enter the pool with it. There was only one other person in the entire pool at the time, sitting in a corner, so I found this rule quite difficult to understand.
Another disappointment was the pile of pine needles in one corner of the pool, which remained there throughout our entire twelve-day stay. I would have expected the pool to be cleaned more regularly, especially at a hotel of this caliber.
Apart from the pool, however, everything else was very good. All the staff were very kind, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. The food was also good, and I especially appreciated that it was served warm rather than cold. Overall, we had a pleasant stay despite the issues with the pool.
The beach is excellent as is the service of the staff on it. I would especially like to praise the children's animator Anastasia who does a great job!
The food should be more varied for a 4* hotel. The hotel is ripe for renovation
We stayed at Alexander the Great Beach Hotel from August 10–16, and unfortunately, our overall experience was quite disappointing, especially considering the price we paid. The biggest issue for us was the food. For an all-inclusive hotel, the choice at the buffet was surprisingly limited, and, more importantly, the quality of the food was very poor. If you are Greek, you will most likely be particularly disappointed, but even if you have simply visited Greece before and experienced the wonderful Mediterranean cuisine, you will probably find the food here far below expectations. Another disappointment was breakfast. There was no option to order a proper coffee, and, incredibly for a hotel in Greece, Greek coffee was not available at all. For us, this was a very strange and disappointing. Fortunately, we were given a renovated pilot room, which was quite good overall. However, even there, some repairs were clearly still needed. For example, the shower door was not properly fitted, resulting in water coming out into the bathroom every time we showered. There were also some maintenance and hygiene concerns around the hotel. At times, there was a strong sewage smell in the gardens outside the hotel, and occasionally we noticed the same unpleasant smell around the reception area. The tennis court was another disappointment. Although it was supposedly operational, there were two holes in the ground, which made it unsafe to use. It was only cleaned the day before we left, despite us staying for a full week. Overall, it is a big shame that we paid so much for our stay and did not feel that we received anything close to the value for money we expected from an all-inclusive hotel of this level. On the positive side, we consistently encountered welcoming, kind, and helpful staff who genuinely tried their best to support the operation despite the shortcomings. A special thank you to Vana at the entrance/parking area, who was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay. The beach was also very nice, and we were able to find sun beds every day. It was also great that we could get fresh beach towels every day. The snacks and lunch served at the beach were actually much better than the main buffet! There was also a golf cart shuttle available to take guests up and down to the main area of the hotel from the beach, which was very convenient. Many thanks to all the staff for their friendliness and efforts. Unfortunately, however, the food quality, limited choice, maintenance issues, and overall value for money made this a disappointing experience for us.
The hotel grounds is amazing, beach is perfect. Staff are very enthusiastic and well-trained. Special mention to the Bell Boy (forgot his name) who have assisted us during check-in, brought to to our Room 717, and check-out, brought us to the bus station in front of the hotel.
