Alexandra Elegance Bridging Generations

Family of 2 adults & a 17yr old child staying in July this place is truly relaxing! Our plan for the week was to swim, sleep, eat and relax - we did just that! We booked with Tui and had a pool room with a garden view (we could see the sea from our sun loungers) the room was spotlessly clean, with the cleaners coming in daily to clean/tidy and restock the Molton Brown toiletries. The mini bar is re-stocked every 3 days. If your all inclusive with TUI - most items on the room service menu are included, your given an app to use and can order on the app - cheese and ham toasties/burger and fries/lattes/beers/mocktails etc we made the most of room service a couple of lunch times so we didn't have to get out the pool! All the meals are delicious, the staff are all helpful and polite. The main bed was comfy, our daughter complained a little the bar in the pull out bed dug into her back a little and wasn't the most comfortable bed. The grounds are well kept and hardly any noise from anyone around us - I think if your booking this hotel your all of the same mindset = to relax. The rainfall shower is bliss and there was plenty of room in the wardrobe for all our things, towels are replaced when needed and fluffy. Beach/pool towels are also provided so you don't need to pack any towels. Potos is about a 5 min walk from the hotel, we had lunch at a local cafe, the shops sell Greek items (thankfully no fake items if you know what I mean) nice little bakery to buy food for the return plane journey. The coach from airport to the ferry took 15 mins, Ferry to Thassos took around 45mins then an hour's coach to the hotel. It's worth the travel, we flew from Gatwick & given a packed breakfast for the return journey. If your looking for a relaxing holiday with your own pool, spotlessly clean hotel room, room service, polite hotel team, delicious food then this is the one! We will be back!!! Look under the olive trees - they way they are clipped is stunning!!! Omg nearly forgot - if your all inclusive and stay for a week you get a floating breakfast!! Just make sure you book it in asap as they are really popular.

We stayed for 8 nights with a little kid. And I was quite sad when we had to leave, which says it all really. The staff is great, the hotel is great and is being well maintained, the food is very good, the drinks are great, the desserts, fruits and nibbles are great, the level of relaxation even with some kids around incl my own is great. It's neither too big, nor too small and is very NOT crowded because by my count there are around 35 rooms of which like half have their own private pools so people are very spread out in the resort at all times. You can always find plenty of sunbeds both on the beach or around the pools and the pools themselves are not crowded at all. The pool water is warm in mid June, ideal for both kids and adults. The beach is not great IMO - it's mostly man made it seems and as a result is very rocky and muddy. You have platforms that you go on in order to go to deeper in the water where the water is good enough to dive. If you just want to enjoy the sun and sand without going into the water then I guess its alright since the beach bar is included in the all inclusive package. The good thing is there are somewhat decent beaches in Potos and Limenaria like 2 to 5 mins away by car - they are alright even if they are not perfect. For example last year we went to Pachis beach in the northern part of the island and that was better than Potos and Limenaria (but also requiress a hefty min spend per sun lounger to stay there). Parking is plentyful, we never had an issue. The 3 pools are with these depths - 0.6m, 0.8m-0.6m mix and 1.4m, so perfect for kids and adults alike. For evenings out both Limenaria and Potos have decent tavernas, bars, cafes. Daytime other than pools and beaches, there are tennis court, kids playgrounds, giant chess, billiards, Table tennis, spa and maybe some other things to do that I am forgetting. A few MINOR suggestions for next year: - Would be great if you can add some small retractable laundry drying racks in the rooms - just to be able to put wet swimwear and for example shirts on there, not to to do full blown laundry of course. - A little more variety in main meals in the restaurant, especially for lunches. - Get and serve drink orders a little faster for lunch/dinner. There aren't that many guests and sometimes we would get the drinks near the end of the meal - to me it seemed more lack of organization rather than lack of sufficient staff on this. Hoping to be back next year in all honesty :)

We will be bringing home such special memories from our time at this lovely hotel. Where do I begin? Foremost, your staff. They are a credit to you. The wait staff, the cleaners, your lovely Maítre-D. So friendly and helpful always going that extra mile. The view from the infinity pool is idyllic and one we never tired of. The food was fantastic, a great choice at the buffet with a-la-carte dishes also. The desserts are to die for! My only disappointment is the gym, its location is in full sun and there is not a lot of equipment. For men there are no heavy weights at all so only a limited workout is possible. The staff though are friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our almost daily visits and made the best of it. I would have loved to have visited the gym first thing before breakfast but it doesn’t open until ten and by then you would have just had breakfast. If you go before dinner it is very hot because it’s in full sun so lunchtime is best which really isn’t practical on holiday. On to all the other positives. Our room was immaculate and clean and also well equipped. The private pool elevates your holiday in to something truly special. We will definitely return to this beautiful hotel, we honestly were so sad to leave. Lastly, the barn swallows were busy flitting around catching insects and the room above could not be used as there was an active nest. It is illegal to dismantle an active nest so good to see the hotel adhering to these rules and respecting nature. The swallows are a delight. Lastly we loved the jetties, we swam off the jetties every day. Crystal clear water and sea temperature was a little bracing but within a couple of minutes you get used to it. We will return!
