Rooms are equipped with a mini-fridge, hairdryer but no tea/coffee making facilities. Flatiron and ironing boards have to be requested from the reception. Room service is available until 11 pm only but can be quite pricey. Rooms are cleaned daily. Towels for the pool are also already provided along with dressing gowns and slippers. Rooms are very nice in general but guests staying in rooms overlooking the garden will find it very shady. And depending on the time of the year the pool can be very, very cold. There are two pools at the hotel but the other is one quite small and looks more like an outdoor Jacuzzi. Sunbeds abound. The pool area is really shaded and the umbrellas are fixed so you can’t close them. People have to move sunbeds to get more of the sun. Guests have to go to the bar to order drinks. The waiter brings drinks over but no one mills around for service. Sometimes service at the bar can get pretty slow just to get your order taken. The seating area and terraces are beautiful though, with fantastic views as it overlooks the sea. There are ample supplies of comfortable chairs, sunbeds, rocking chairs, and settees – perfect for watching the stunning sunsets.

A friendly boutique hotel with comfortable facilities including a very inviting Spa, Alexandra Beach Spa Resort is definitely worth considering when choosing a hotel in Thassos.
