Very good hotel! We stayed for 3 nights during our road trip in Cyprus and we weren’t disappointed. When you arrive (if you have your own car or rental car), be careful because the gate to the parking lot isn’t very clear and we were expecting a big sign with the name of the hotel but there isn’t one, so follow your GPS and drive slowly not to miss it. We would like to thank the receptionist and the staff at the buffet who let us have dinner on our arrival date, because dinner is open until 21:30 and we arrived at exactly that time due to a flight delay. The location is great. You have the inside and outside pools and a small but pleasant beach in front of the hotel, and you can walk along the coastline to the city centre or to other hotels. We went to the Archeological site on foot from the hotel and it’s a very easy and beautiful walk. Sparking of the outside pool, remember to first go to the kiosk (no one explained us this), because you just can’t take any sunbed that looks to be free upon arrival. There’s a booking system, which is ok in one way, as you can be sure to get your sunbed available, but at the same time you can’t easily switch places if you need for example to find shade elsewhere. We saw several sunbeds that looked free and we couldn’t use them. I would honestly change this system. Also, one thing to be aware, as it can be dangerous: the two running machines at the gym were malfunctioning. The buttons (only through a touchscreen) didn’t respond and I couldn’t slow down during my run. I tried to dry my fingers and the screen from the sweat, but it happened several times on both machines and I had to hit the emergency stop button which stops abruptly the machine. Maybe it was an isolated incident, because the following day I tried again and it worked fine, but something to be aware of and do the proper maintenance. Apart from these hiccups, everything was excellent. The staff at the breakfast buffet and dinner buffet were amazing, especially the lady with short curly hair and eyeglasses, who was always so welcoming and nice. The food was also delicious and there was plenty of offer. I especially enjoyed the multiple saladas and vegetables available. I’m trying to loose some weight and it was perfectly easy to eat fresh, tasty and healthy food here. The fruit selection during breakfast was also very good. Our room was spacious enough for both of us (we didn’t book the best room as we had to budget for the rest of our trip), and we had a nice balcony (not easy to dry your wet clothes though, maybe because of the humidity). There were also shows each night, but we only watched part of the adaptation of the Moulin Rouge, which we found enjoyable since we watched the show several times already in London and we love it. On the day we checked out, it was my birthday, and I was touched by the bag with lovely gift they gave me when leaving (some candies, a little bottle of wine and some honey). It was such a nice touch, thank you! Overall, we were extremely pleased with this hotel and we would definitely come back. It also seems to be a favourite resort for British on vacation in Cyprus, as >80-90% of the clientele seemed to be British. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning hotel from beginning to end. We got married at this hotel on 11th June. We were met with a warm welcome via the reception staff who provided welcome drinks, sparkling wine and snacks. The bar manager and guest services manager both took the time to talk to us and the other guests who arrived. The room had a beautiful sea view and was made up with flowers, sparkling wine and even more snacks. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, all the staff from the start to end have been amazing. We couldn’t ask for a better place to get married. If you are unsure if this is the right place I’d advise booking it. You won’t regret it. Staff during meals, reception, maids have all been lovely and have provided stellar service. We feel as if we have been treated so well from start to end. We were even given a complimentary room as our flight didn’t take off until 11pm. Thank you so much to the whole team, we couldn’t have asked for our stay or our special day to be any better.

Sadly, my reviews for a family visiting Alexander the Great hotel, don't compare with those reviews previous to mine. However, maybe a consideration for a family visiting Paphos and thinking this is the hotel for them... I came in with high expectations as per these reviews. As a family of 5, with 3 children under 6 years old, we were a little let down with how the team and the hotel handled families. Understandably the hotel is working to cater for all needs, however, as a guest with a family, it felt very much like families were the 'inferior' guests. Some of the areas for improvement: - Making the kids club more inclusive of all children (not just those more independent and confident in nature - this comment is specific to policies rather than the level of support provided by the staff)- Food quality was poor. Lots of 'left over' dinner food that was being reused for breakfast. A great initiative to reuse food, just maybe not for the customers paying €350- plus per night.- Have some administrative staff a little more receptive to feedback. Due to the hotel being how it presented to us, we requested a refund for the last night (to which the hotel kindly agreed to). However, during the process, we were told I may have to wait 24 hours to have a manager confirm a refund. When I questioned the hotel having a second in charge to make those decisions for a prompt response, I was met with a defensive and passive aggressive response - "Our managers entitled to a day off aren't they?!" (Maybe this works two ways however and my consideration was out of line...) Overall, for couples, the hotel would be a lovely option. For families, my opinion is its not the right hotel.

All the staff is extremely friendly. They took care of us so we felt like home. They have an eye and feeling for the smallest details. The golf arrangement we had was awesome! The restaurants and food are of high quality and what a variety! The service at the breakfast is amazing and very efficient. We loved the welcome drink by the management on Thursday very much.

We have booked 4 rooms for all our family, 7 adults and 4 kids, for a week, and it was really wonderful !! 2 rooms were connected by an internal door, all clean and shine. They clean day and night and attentive to any request 24/7. There is kids club with kids keepers, lot’s of activities and toys, so the kids were really happy and had a good time there, as well as in the internal warm pool. The gym is as well a good one. The food was gorgeous and for the dinner it was a different menu every evening, and we loved all. The location on the beach and so close to the center is a real benefit too. Management and staff are really attentive and responsive so quickly to which we were grateful. We do not hesitate to recommend this wonderful hotel as 5 shining stars! Thank you all, including the reservation manager, Elena, which assisted us so much!
