Hello. The family rested at the Alexandros Palace Hotel at the end of August. It's not the first time we've been in Greece. We chose this hotel, as it is located near Mount Athos, and my men - my husband and sons - wanted to visit the monasteries. And the hotel is located in a quiet place. Realizing that we needed to go to the hotel for about 3 hours on a group transfer, we immediately ordered an individual transfer from the travel agency, so we got to the place faster, in about 2 hours, and in comfort.
A nice girl, a hotel guide, met us at the reception, told us about the hotel, walked together to look at the territory. We arrived at about 11 o'clock, as they explained to us the check-in at the hotel at 14:00. It was possible to leave things in the luggage room and go to spend time, either by the pool or on the beach. But we decided to go to the city of Ouranoupoli, which is located about 5 kilometers from the hotel (a taxi was ordered at the reception, the cost is 10 euros). We went to the city, as the children wanted to eat and there we went to a local Greek restaurant on the seashore and had lunch (lunch comes out on average about 60 euros for 4 people - of course). Time flew by unnoticed, we returned to the hotel, somewhere at 14:30, the room was ready, and we were settled.
We booked a Family Executive, according to the description, a room with 2 separate rooms, there were, of course, ordinary Family, but our children are already quite large 14 and 12 years old - so 2 rooms are better. Such a number and received, in the 4th building. Despite the fact that this is the highest building (in a hill), the view of the sea is gorgeous there. If you have no problems with the lift, then book rooms there.

We had no problems with the room, of course, inside it is not a chic room, a simple room with everything you need. Pretty comfortable and most importantly clean. There were no cleaning issues.
The beach is excellent, clean, sunbeds are always free. The sea is just great. The waiters on the beach served quickly, and in the restaurant too. Always friendly.
I really liked the fact that most of the staff is Russian-speaking, even those who did not know Russian still tried to speak some words, so we had no problems with communication.
The food at the hotel is quite tasty. Breakfast is a little monotonous, but you can eat hearty. For dinner, hot dishes changed. Large selection of meats and side dishes. Salads were always the same, here I would like more choice. For lunch, we always went either to Ouranoupoli or to the village of Nea Roda (about 2 km from the hotel). And in Greek local taverns you can always taste delicious seafood.
Also during the holidays went on excursions. The husband went to Athos with his sons. And then the whole family visited Vergina - Olympus - Dion and Meteora. Excellent organization, good qualified guides and comfortable transport in good condition. By the way, the drivers are great fellows.
Rest were very satisfied. The hotel is normal, they expressed their remarks, or rather their wishes, and it’s quite a good hotel. Recommended for family holidays.
