Exceptional - incredible attention to detail in every way

From the moment I arrived I knew I was going to love it. We arrived late and was immediately met with some wraps and refreshing juice as it was late and we were hungry. We were offered a meal Voucher to use in replacement for missing a meal on our first night.

The porter was such a wonderful kind helpful man.

The reception staff gave a complimentary room Upgrade to side sea view as I wanted to be near to my families room.

I love how you are given allocated sunbeds so there’s no stress about sun bed wars. These can be changed as and when there are availability. We had 5 on the grass to begin with and then week 2 we had them by the pool.

The food is exceptional and so beautifully prepared. The level of food is what you’d expect from an à la cart restaurant. Speaking of which there are three on site which you can book once a week. These were absolutely exceptional.

The staff are unbelievably friendly professional and genuine. I literally felt they were like family. Big shout to Xania, Alla, George, Jordan from supervisors at restaurants they were so accommodating and kind. Massive asset to this brand and hotel.

What I likes was the welcome cocktail evening with free canapés. There’s no agenda to sell anything. It was literally a thank you and welcome from the senior management including the hotel Manager you regularly saw.

The location was perfect. I used the 24hr harbour medical across the road due to a back injury and the local MRI centre who were impeccable. This was like An amazing location for the hotel Nearby all amenities. 10 mins to the Mall and JUMBO!!!

Bus stops across the road and next to hotel.

I will defo return. There’s so much more I want to add. All I can think for “negatives” are that maybe the drainage of the tiles near pool entrance needed addressing as it flooded a lot.

Some of the evening acts were not suited to all tastes and a little boring if not your style.

The Asian restaurant has a beautiful outside seating but it was very bright and uncomfortable with sun and heat and we rushed our meal as couldn’t see and it was unbearable and staff couldn’t do anything - not even slightly turn the table. I think some very small touch of a sail shade or umbrella would have been fine.

Go you will not regret. This place is my top location and hotel

Amazing Holiday

We had an incredible stay at the Alexander the Great Hotel in Paphos. The location is unbeatable, with stunning views directly overlooking the sea, and everything within easy reach. The rooms and hotel were spotless throughout our stay, and you can tell the staff work tirelessly to keep everything immaculate and running smoothly. Every member of the team we met was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our stay special. The organisation around the booked sunbeds was excellent too — such a simple thing, but it made our days by the pool completely stress‑free. My wife celebrated her birthday during our stay, and the hotel went above and beyond: we returned to our room to find a birthday cake and balloons waiting for her, which was such a thoughtful touch. The Asian restaurant also decorated our table beautifully and made the evening feel truly memorable. Their kindness and attention to detail were amazing. To all the males out there, make sure you take closed shoes to eat in all the restaurants. I made the mistake of packing my shoes on the last day, so I wasn't able to eat in the restaurant. However, the staff kindly plated me some food to save me going hungry before my flight home.
Thank you to everyone at Alexander the Great Hotel for making our holiday unforgettable. We can’t wait to return.

Paradise!

This is the second time that we have visited this excellent hotel. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, the staff can't do enough for you. Everyone has a smile and engages in friendly conversation. The allocation of sunbed is a game changer which we love! The sunbed allocation team work really hard to find a spot that you want. It may take a couple of days but they will make it happen. No mad morning rush, order snacks and drinks to your sunbed, clean towels everyday and comfy mattresses to lie on. Amazing! I visited the spa for an indian head massage which included my face, neck and shoulders. Ask for Jelena - she has magic hands! The hotel provides lots of little touches such as fruit shots, cold face towels and watermelon slices throughout the day, plus little pots of nibbles in the evening. Pay the extra for a sea view room if you can, the views are incredible and falling asleep to the sounds of the sea is paradise. We are lucky enough to have another 2 days here and will definitely return.

WEDDING VOW RENEWAL

We have been to the Alexander the great in paphos on numerous occasions over the last 12 years. Our Son got married there in 2016 and it was amazing. We have just come back from renewing our vows and i cant really put into words how well we were looked after again. The wedding planner Chrystalla made our day so special organising everything perfect. Elena made all 28 of us welcome nothing was to much trouble. Joanna on the pool bar amazing , Raju in the 7 orchids restaurant amazing , the 2 Stefanos on the sunbeds were amazing swapping beds around every time a new member of the family arrived , the 3 guys that looked after us on the renewal i didnt get there names but they were fantastic all Day. Every single member of staff went above and beyond as they always have done in the past. BEST HOTEL IN PAPHOS.

Great hotel spoilt by a crazy sunbed allocation system

Alexander the Great hotel is a very nice hotel. It is very well situated by the sea but near to all the nightlife, the rooms are well proportioned, service is very good and breakfast is superb. The only blot on their copybook is the way the sunbeds are accessed. They have a crazy system whereby you have to go to the sunbed office (for want of a better description) and choose from a map where you want to sit and then the sunbeds are yours for the duration of your stay. Sounds great...but it isn't because you invariably get a sunbed in a position you do not like and as in my case my wife and I switched five times in two days before we found a suitable spot. The really annoying thing is the large number of sunbeds lying unused maybe because the 'owner' of the spot is away for a day or possible two or three days. As i explained to the manager at the managers cocktail party they should allocate on a daily basis to allow people the opportunity to choose a spot they want. It seems very picky but if you think about it a large majority of people spend a large majority of their time on or near their sunbed and being told where you have to go is just annoying and it did spoil the first couple of days of the holiday.
