Alexandros Palace

Lovely stay ! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great view of Mt Athos from the beach club

As a first time of being in Greece for holidays, also the place was chosen spontaneously and randomly, I did not expect the hotel to be located closely to mythical place such as mount Athos. I had the chance to explore nearby places. Hotel’s staff was extremely friendly and kind. They have the best bacon full stop. The hotel’s beach is very close, 1 min of walking, and super duper quiet which was an advantage for me. The weather in October was perfect for beach time! Thanks a million for the staff there, especially the restaurant staff for the service given! People of Greece are very nice people, kind, respectful and friendly.

Nice place

The service was exceptional, and the ambiance was both luxurious and comfortable. One of the highlights was Mane, who was always ready to assist with any needs I had. He made my stay even more enjoyable with his recommendations and attentive care. This hotel is definitely an excellent choice for anyone seeking luxury and top-notch service.

Sehr freundliches Personal, dass sich auch proaktiv einbringt. Die Küche war durchgehend lecker, etwas mehr Abwechslung könnte allerdings nicht schaden. Auch wenn das Konzept mit nur einem weissen, rosé und rotem Wein pro Abend gewöhnungsbedürftig ist, war die Wein Wahl doch sehr ansprechend. Die Pools sind schön und sauber, aber die Sportplätze eher Ruinen. Die fünf Sterne waren in den 90iern vielleicht passend, heute sind es doch eher vier.

This is probably the most boring, isolated venue i have stayed at in 40 years. There literally is nothing to do here unless the weather is glorious. The food in the hotel is absolutely atrocious. It is all highly processed. For example, breakfast consists of numerous pastries or processed cheese, sausage or salami. Even the orange juice is squash, not fresh juice. There were no breakfat tea bags, only fruit teas. The poor calibre of the evening meal is hard to describe. Same menu every night. No local Greek cuisine just spaghetti bolognese, chicken drumsticks and occasionally braised veal. Most of the staff are very helpful. Dmitris at the beach bar was excellent. The reception staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bar staff were poor and rude in their attitude. They gave you the impression that, because it was all inclusive, when you asked for a drink they were doing you a massive favour. I fed this back to reception staff who said they would escalate to senior managers but nothing changed. This is not a 5 star hotel. 3 stars is being generous. Don't waste your money coming here. The nearest place to get decent food and/ or anything resembling anything of interest is a 10 minute/15 euros taxi ride to Ouranopolis. It is 2 hours from Thesalonika and literally in the middle of nowhere.
