Olimpiu Bota

Review of Alexander the Great Resort, Ha...

The hotel is splendidly situated in a pine forest ...

The hotel is splendidly situated in a pine forest about 50 m above a white sandy beach with pristine turquoise water and no waves whatsoever.
The complex has several smaller traditional houses and a main building. I stayed in the main building and had a splendid sea view from my balcony and a very clean room, even though rather small for a four star hotel.
For shopping and nightlife Kalllinthia is one 4 Kilometers down the road and the taxi ride costs 5 Euros.
The breakfast buffet was above average and with an astonishing view of the sea and the Sithonia peninsula. I didn't use the pool next to the restaurant.
On the downside I would say that the personnel was rather clumsy, some friendly though and some not. They forgot to mention that (probably due to Covid) room cleaning happened only on demand and towels would be changed every 3 days. I only stayed 3 days, so I could not see the room being cleaned.
Internet is a catastrophe for the year 2020. I received the Internet and the beach chair for free because I booked with the hotel, as I have been told at the reception. So Internet and beach chair on charge if you book with booking for example.. Hmmm.
Furthermore, they use a login system which logs you out and you have to login with username and password again and again... and again. Like 40 times in 3 days... The only good part would be , there is reception on the beach.
All in all 3,5 stars. Definitely room for improvement with personnel and Internet, but at the end a lovely place to staym
