The beach front rooms provide stunning sea views and the location is perfect for catching breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. For those looking for nightlife, the party center may require a taxi ride, but for couples and families, the location is ideal. The site is beautifully maintained with a village feel and lots of flowers, making it a picturesque oasis. Some guests rented cars to explore the island, but the hotel's proximity to attractions and amenities means that everything is within reach. Overall, the hotel's location and beach, breakfast, staff and rooms received high praise from many guests.

Breakfast

The breakfast at the Alexander Beach Hotel & Village Resort has had mixed reviews from guests. While many have praised the wonderful breakfast and the huge selection of food, some have claimed that the food didn't feel fresh and caused indigestion.

Some guests have complained about the long queues at the coffee machine during peak times. Additionally, some guests have been disappointed with the lack of diversity in the breakfast menu and the ordinary quality of the food. However, others have enjoyed the delicious breakfast and the diverse meal varieties available. The buffet selection for dinner has also been praised by many, although some have recommended opting for restaurants outside the hotel for better quality dining experiences. The breakfast organization has been criticized by some guests with plates left uncleared and crowded seating areas.

Dinner

While some enjoyed the large selection of dishes, others found the food to be of average or below standard. Dress codes for men (long pants) were mandatory at dinner, which some guests found unnecessary. Some reviews suggest that the hotel should improve the acoustics of the main dining room as it can get loud and crowded when the hotel is at full capacity. A second buffet dining room would be appreciated by some guests. Despite some criticisms, many reviews did mention delicious and varied dinner options, including Greek specialties and a weekly Greek night with live music and a grill buffet. Some guests also enjoyed healthy smoothies and fresh juices at the beach tavern. However, some reviews did mention issues with cleanliness and chaotic organization during evening meals.
