Alexandros Hotel

Well worth the trip. Great weather, friendly helpful staff, good food, nice clean rooms. Only grump, no decent sandy beach nearby, but pool was fine. Plenty tavernas nearby all with great food and walk to harbour to see beautiful sunsets and more restaurants.

Loved this holiday and hotel. The staff could not do enough for you. Although the food was excellent the continental breakfast was very limited. Our first holiday in Crete so this may well be the norm. Excellent pool and always able to get a sun bed anytime of the day. Did not realise when booking the holiday that the air con had to be paid locally at €7 per night.

Went with Jet2, overall experience very good, flights - transfer - hotel, all went very smoothly. We stayed B&B, lunch and evening menu available in the hotel, which looked very nice and reasonably priced, but we always ate out during our stay. Hotel is only 3 Star and to a certain extent you do get what you pay for, but equally it is better than the star rating, we were located on the ground floor over looking a small garden, the room was large with a double bed and a single, an on suite bathroom (shower, toilet and wash hand basin), small fridge, kettle, tea cups but no tea, coffee milk etc. (which is fine as long as you know to bring your own) and a small veranda/balcony with a couple of chairs. Everything is very clean, with the towels and sheets changed every other day. Pool area is clean with plenty of sun loungers etc and a bar area for drinks and meals. Upstairs is the main bar area, lounge and dining areas, again all very clean and comfortable. Wifi is available in the lounge upstairs and down stairs by the pool. The breakfast was a simple continental, all you can eat, self service affair, with sliced meat, sliced cheese, bread, yogurt, tinned fruit, fresh fruit, cereal, fruit juice, tea, coffee etc. again it was all clean, lots of it and for the price exceptionally good value. the hotel was a lot closer to the beach and harbor area/village than I was expecting (genuine 10 min walk max) with a couple of good mini supermarkets close by (2 min walk) to get provisions etc. The harbor area/village contained lots of restaurants and cafes were you could get lunch buy a beer/coffee, ate out every night (stayed 8 nights) at a different restaurant each time and paid between 27 euro and 42 euro for an evening meal with wine and beer etc depending on establishment, menu etc. never had a bad meal. The beaches are small but never over crowded and the sea is fantastic especially in the calm harbor area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend the hotel, as long as you understand that you are getting a clean basic hotel, run by lovely people and not expecting the Ritz you won't be disappointed. My only negative comment would be that we did get very badly bitten by midges (which is not the hotels fault) and you should we aware of this and take adequate supplies of sprays/creams etc. with you as they are expensive to buy on Crete.

Excellent place to stay for a relaxed holiday. The hotel caters for a wide range of people, from families, young couples , older couples and solo travellers. The family who run the hotel are kind, helpful and speak excellent English. The food is great, especially the Greek cuisine, and there are several options for vegetarians. Food and drink are very reasonably priced. The hotel is a short walk away from tavernas, cafes, bars, supermarkets, excursion booking centres, and car and quad bike hire places. In summary , just right for a chilled out, relaxing week or two of sun.

Highly recommended family run hotel. Very clean and friendly with good food, a good introduction to Greek food. All food tastes were catered for if likes/dislikes were identified at the beginning of your stay. Nothing was too much trouble. A very enjoyable stay and will be returning soon.
