Alexandra Beach Hotel and Apartments

Just got back from a superb week at this hotel. Smashing place, just across the road from the beach. There was 4 of us, so we booked a taxi from the airport, €56 each way. Transfer took just 25 mins. The staff were all excellent, really pleasant and very helpful. The whole place was spotlessly clean, a real tribute to the cleaning staff. We were in the main building, older but still really good quality. We went self catering. The apartment was excellent, but about the only downside was the cooking facilities. We were hoping to cook most meals ourselves but with only a kettle and two rings it was impossible. Certainly couldn’t cook a meal for a family. Excellent location, just 30 minute walk into Kos town. Small supermarket just across the road, which stocks everything you need, and very helpful. A few small restaurants just by beach, but not very good quality. only one opens for breakfast, but that is the best one. We tended to walk into Kos for our meals at night. The food at the hotel is very good and reasonably priced. We got out and about quite easily, the local buses are very good and cheap. We went on the 3 island trip on a pirate ship, very good value @ €20 including good lunch at a restaurant. Cigs are about€46 a carton. Not many English brands, so if that’s what you want, wait till the airport, same prices. Altogether we had a great time here. Nice time just chilling round the superb pool. No problem with sun beds, plenty of room. Would certainly recommend the Alexandra Beach. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so special.

These apartments are a little gem and we were really happy with them.They are perfectly situated-minutes from the beach, bus stop and local tavernas which are right on the beachside. Turn right at the bottom of the road. There is a brilliant supermarket opposite (BamBam )which stocks everything. We went self catering which as you know in Greece means eating out !! But that was our intention. The studio we had was huge and airy with a mosi screen which was excellent. The beds were firm and the shower was tiny but it was all lovely and spotlessly clean. The room was cleaned daily except Sunday and clean sheets and towels frequently. Everyone there was lovely. The poolside was superb with lots of good quality beds and loads of room. The only issue for us was our room was over the breakfast room which started early and was noisy. We could also hear the Bar at night but with the door closed it was not a problem. We stayed two weeks and didn’t want to leave it was brilliant

Originally we were booked in for a couple of nights, but we decided to stay a bit longer as the hotel was so nice. The hotel is very easy on the eye, with a neutral contemporary room decor. The beds are comfortable and the bedroom had a fridge, and a nice balcony. There was a mesh door, so the windows could be kept open at night. The pool area is lovely, with lots of sunbeds and grassy and shaded areas, as well as poolside. We couldn't speak too highly of the staff. Every single staff member we encountered, reception, bar, cleaning, kitchen were unfailingly cheerful, friendly and conversational. The pool bar was fine for drinks and simple snacks and there are 3 good tavernas with tables at the water's edge just a few minutes away, as a well as a bar which also served food. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend.
