Alexander The Great Beach Hotel♡

4 star but rooms really need updating.

6.0

Stayed here many years ago, current stay for 5 days with Jet2, preferred previous stay before upgrading, hotel has become too big and too busy, pics now show lovely spacious pool and garden areas, in reality you cannot move for packed in sunbeds everywhere like sardines, previous years sunbed allocations great but now so many beds unoccupied but when asked you are given very little choice, adult area ? not so much adult pool rather tiny sections not big enough to swim in, this is one of Jet2 'luxe' properties, restuarant, staff service, friendly helpful staff, lobby areas agree 'luxe' but bedrooms really let this hotel down, very tired, peeling wallpaper, bathroom is really outdated with old shower over the bath attachments, really oldfashioned and dangerous, shower goes from cold to scolding at times - parents beware common problem here, this was such a lovely hotel before its expansion now just too busy.

Disappointing Experience – Not a Family-Oriented Hotel

2.0

While I appreciate that the hotel has a system for allocating sunbeds, I believe the process needs serious review. Families with young children should be prioritised and allocated sunbeds in safe locations, away from busy public walkways. As a parent, safeguarding my child while abroad is my number one priority. We were allocated sunbeds directly next to a public pathway, leaving our 8-year-old daughter exposed to constant foot traffic and making it much more difficult for us to supervise her comfortably. Had I known this would be the arrangement, I would never have booked this holiday. What made the situation even more disappointing was the response from the hotel staff. I raised my concerns and explained why I felt the location of our sunbeds was unsuitable for a family with a young child. Unfortunately, my concerns were dismissed. The staff did not appear to understand or acknowledge the issue, showed little empathy, and made no attempt to help or find an alternative solution. For a hotel that appears to welcome families, there seems to be very little consideration for the practical needs and safety concerns of parents with young children. A simple policy of allocating families to more secure areas away from public thoroughfares would make a significant difference. Sadly, this experience has left us feeling that this is not a genuinely family-oriented hotel. While the sunbed allocation system itself is organised, it fails to consider what many parents value most: the safety and wellbeing of their children. The lack of understanding and support from staff only reinforced that impression.

Excellent. Not the best in the chain though.

Very few complaints about this hotel. Staff were lovely (all of them), food was pretty good especially in the Garibaldi restaurant. Sunbed allocation worked well, pools were never too full and the location was absolutely perfect. As noted in the title, this hotel is not quite as good as the Amanti Made for Two in Aiya Napa but apparently a much needed refurbishment is on the horizon to refresh the place.

5* for The Alexander the Great Hotel, Paphos

The best hotel we have ever stayed at. From the welcome and throughout our stay the service is second to none. The food in all restaurants was unbelievable and the tasting menu experience in the Garibaldi restaurant was unbelievable and certainly something you need to experience when visiting this remarkable hotel. The little touches such as a birthday cake and balloons to celebrate my birthday to the thoughtful touches of folding back our bedding and leaving chocolates is every evening adds to the experience. Our sincere thanks go out to all the staff from the concierge, housekeeping, bar/restaurant staff, reception, guest services and management at The Alexander the Great Hotel we will most certainly be back. Many thanks Mike and Sheena Scott

מלון יפיפה, מסודר, נקי, מאיר פנים. צוות המלון מאוד אדיב, לכל שאלה או בקשה עזר מאוד. ארוחת בוקר מעולה, ברכה סגורה נפתחת ממש מוקדם ויש אפשרות כבר מהשעות המוקדמות להיכנס ולשחות, הברכה הפתוחה נפתחת ב 10:00, ברגע שמגיעים מומלץ לרדת לברכה ולתפוס מיטות שיזוף לכל אורח החופשה! המלון נמצא ממש ליד הים, הליכה של כ 10 דקות מגיעים לטיילת ששם ממוקמות כל האטרקציות (ספינות, אטרקציות ים, מסעדות, חנויות קטנות) נשמח לחזור לשם בהזדמנות נוספת.

Excellent all round!

We have just returned from a 10 day stay at Alexander the Great Hotel. It was fantastic. We went to Cyprus for our wedding and chose to stay at the hotel as my fiancé’s sister got married there 12 years ago and said how good it was. Over a decade has passed and it’s still just as good. We were upgraded and given a lovely card and a bottle of champagne to celebrate, and our room was decorated with rose petals on our wedding night. The hotel itself is great, but it is all the little touches that make it excellent- bringing cold flannels and fresh fruit around the pool, the friendliness and helpfulness of all staff. They go the extra mile. A special shout out to Jordan in the catering staff who came and spoke to us every morning and was so good with our little boy. There is a huge selection of food and we honestly could not fault it. We had an amazing holiday surrounded by our family and friends who all stayed in the hotel too. We will definitely be back.
