Alexandra Beach Spa Resort

Very Good
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : The location is about 45-55 minutes by car from the main port on the Island. The island is large, mountains in the middle and a round around entire island. The place is in between two cities, one about 10 minutes walk, the other about 40 minutes walk (or 5 minutes drive). Both offer many Tavernas with authentic Greek food. We spent there 12 days and we haven't had to dine in a same place during entire stay. The resort offer super amazing view on the mount Athos (over 2km elevation rising out of the blue waters). Beach service and bar service was perfect, staff on both bars were very friendly, fast, and attentive. Local restaurant offers amazing view. Beach offers many sun beds with sun parasols (fully used though by 11am typically). Small playground for children, two pools. Our kid (5yo) loved the place. Even standard rooms are large, housekeeping attentive. Breakfast rich (but overcrowded, with coffee machine broken twice during the stay).
  : It is a big resort for lot of people. Breakfasts were crowded (we didn't take half pension to avoid crowds and experience more authentic cuisine). Any non-standard request won't be likely fulfilled (getting a water to your room at 10pm for your child, help with luggage at 7.30 in the morning, ...). The beach is really beautiful, but mostly stones. Nevermind, we bought shoes for water (plenty of stores in nearby city). The gym was very small, and wasn't air-conditioned well. In fact, it was superhot there).
