The excellent reviews made me choose Hotel Alexander Beach for our first trip to Crete. And I have to say, they are true. This is an amazing hotel in many regards. I have never met friendlier and more welcoming staff at a hotel. The staff everywhere, at the desk, at the restaurants, the bars, the cleaning ladies, the therapists, all very very attentive. They helped us, made us laugh, tried to accommodate every wish, were great with the kids. The rooms, the hotel and the beautifully maintained garden and pool areas (4 pools) were spotlessly clean. The food at all the à la Carte restaurants (Oliva, Taverna, lemon grass, Pool bar) was very good, even excellent, and the breakfast buffet has an amazing choice. Get there early in the morning if you want to sit outside on the covered terrace for a breakfast with direct views of the beach and the sea.. Also the rooms were almost perfect, two bedrooms on two levels, connected by a stair. The only downside was that one of the kids‘ beds was narrower than a regular bed (probably 80cm). But the mattresses were all very comfortable. The bathroom very functional, good pressure in the shower. The only thing I would replace is the hairdryer, the blow was too weak to get my hair dry, but that’s a minor problem. The rooms were spotlessly cleaned every day, and towels and linen replaced regularly. Wonderfully thick and fluffy towels, white for inside the rooms, blue for pool and beach. No need to bring your own towels. There were also thick white bathrobes, which I liked. I want to thank the whole team of Alexander Beach for making this an absolutely wonderful stay!
