Alexander Beach Hotel & Village Resort

Amazing stuff and crew. Everyone is so friendly and has such a high service awarness. The hotel is beautiful, calm, great location in Malia! Thank you.

Really Nice hôtel with some restaurant, bar, swimming pool. Spa super great with good massage! Thanks to thanos and anestis for the good expérience

We stayed for the last week of May (half-term) as a family of 4 (2 kids aged 5 and 8). We had a great week despite some decidedly mixed weather (some rain and remnants of a dust storm on arrival which was a bit unexpected but we learned is not that unusual). The hotel is excellent - every facility you could need is there. Pools are numerous and not too crowded; not heated but warm enough to swim in even in the moderate temperatures. Beach very nice too, safe for the kids to paddle in and plenty of sand for castles! Our kids absolutely loved the kids club, so much so they didn’t want to leave the hotel which given the cultural experiences on offer was slightly frustrating! However we equally enjoyed a bit of enforced relaxation, including using the well equipped gym, or just relaxing with a coffee or cocktail. The restaurant was excellent - as well as daily breakfasts we ate in the evening buffet and the “taverna”, all of which served delicious food. The Greek night including dancing was also enjoyable. We had booked a Premium Family room which was upgraded to a sea view on arrival. The room was great - our kids shared a twin room and we had our own spacious double. Decor was spotless and we had a nice balcony overlooking a courtyard with a fountain. Perfect for our family and enough space for a little parental / child separation when needed :-) The hotel is situated in a fairly quiet area but within minutes you can walk to bars and restaurants - there’s a good choice and we didn’t have a bad meal. Would particularly recommend Kostas where I ate an outstanding sea bream. There’s far more to explore in Crete than we could do in a week, but we enjoyed the nearby Malia Palace (super quiet and very evocative) as well as the Heraklion archaeological museum (not brilliantly set up for young kids but full of astonishing treasures). All in all a fantastic base for a family holiday.

I’ve just returned from a wonderful holiday in Crete, staying at a fantastic hotel that fully met my expectations. Since 2009, I’ve been spending my summer vacations in Greece, visiting a different island every year and always choosing high-quality hotels with a spa – and once again, this year’s choice was spot on! The hotel is large but very well organized, and you never feel like it’s overcrowded. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming – they make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive and I really appreciated the warmth and friendliness of the Cretan people. I didn’t dine at the hotel, as I prefer exploring local tavernas (highly recommended!), but the breakfast was truly excellent – varied, fresh, and plentiful. The SPA, which is always a must-have for me when choosing a hotel, was of a very high standard. The wellness center is impeccably managed by Boso, who is both professional and highly skilled. A special mention goes to Simona, the therapist who took care of me from the first massage: young, talented, and with an exceptional touch. She immediately understands what the client needs and makes you feel at ease with her gentle and reassuring manner. Every treatment was carried out with great care and attention to detail – always with a smile. After the first session, I didn’t want anyone else: she’s a true professional, passionate about her work. Truly the highlight of the spa experience! In short, a perfect stay filled with relaxation, quality service, and warm hospitality. Highly recommended!
