Alexia Resort & Spa (+16)

The hotel itself is beautiful and the pool and beach are great. The sea was nice and warm! We always got a sun lounger even at 11am. However, food was quite limited, no vegetarian selection except salads and fruits and the odd chickpea stews. My boyfriend eats meat/fish and he thought the selection was limited. No ice cream at dinner which was a huge disappointment. Ice cream only available until 5pm in the lobby. They had various other desserts. Food isn’t labelled properly so we wasn’t always sure what was in it. Staff don’t speak much English so it was difficult to communicate and they didn’t understand when we asked for things. We were the only English people in the hotel. Foam party was great on the Friday night! Absolutely loved that. Entertainment wasn’t great it was short, there was lots of music playing after the entertainment finished and people dancing which we liked. Lobby was nice for a drink. Most staff not particularly friendly but there was the odd two who was friendly. Pool towels are small. The back entrance to the hotel is locked early evening so if you go out at night you have to walk back round the front up a hill which wasn’t a major issue for us. There was one thin really small sheet for our bed that didn’t cover both of us but they did provide more sheets later in our stay thankfully. Bed is massive! Air con is good. Soft drinks, waters and beers are stocked in the minibar daily. We booked a pool view for a bit extra which was lovely. Shops in the hotel which was really handy. Near to lots of shops and the Old town which is walking distance and really nice. We went to a restaurant called Kleopatra in the Old town which I’d highly recommend! Overall we enjoyed our holiday.

Just arrived back from a 2 week stay at this hotel. I will leave some positive and negative thoughts about our stay. A last minute booking, we felt we had a relaxing time, pool was warm, sunbeds available, although you would need to claim your ‘spot’ by 8am, or you could be searching for beds & umbrellas. A five minute walk to the beach, water very warm, all sand. We were on the lower level, room 1003. Spacious, great shower, view from balcony was not ‘land view’, as stated, it was looking at the back of another hotel, not nice! The covers on the bed did NOT fit the mattress, a thin sheet that that you just pull over yourself. The bedding was not changed within our stay. Air con good, full length mirror, covered by unit and tv…pointless! Entertainment in the evenings poor, foam pool party was one of them, not to our liking, a live band or singer would have been great. Food ok, caters very much for different nationalities, not if you’re British. Unfortunately, I had food poisoning after the first week, so avoided ice, salads, fish and meat, to keep myself safe. Very unpleasant experience, especially when you’re abroad. I used ‘google translate’, to ask if anyone else had come down with it too, they didn’t know and staff speak very little English. We were the only English couple at the hotel. Overall, from our experience, would not return to this hotel.

Honest opinion I wouldn’t come back here. Lovely modern clean rooms , food isn’t great. Entertainment is poor, only lasts an hour then the same repetitive music. During the day it’s the same 5 songs allllll day strange men videoing young girls. None of the staff understand English it’s very hard to ask for something. It’s a very German based hotel. Bouncing music surrounding the hotel till gone 4am every day. Although I loved the room and the balcony I would not come back here

Hotel is clean and most staff are friendly and food acceptable Mixed nationalitiy guests but all entertainment in German Animation team did all the entertainment which was based on an 18 to 30 clientele and 11.30 cut off time was taken over by very rowdy guests till 4.30 some nights so take earplugs as no attempt was made to keep noise down Having walking difficulties we chose this hotel because of access to the street below but that was locked at 9.00pm and had to walk up a very steep uneven pathway if you got back later

Alexia Resort&Spa hotel...really good, new, for adults. Room design, interior and electronics are an innovative option, bed mattresses are particularly comfortable, large terrace balconies, soft drinks, beer are constantly refilled. A separate word for the staff - they are pleasant, smile, take care that nothing is missing The hotel manager Musa pays special attention to all the guests. And our beautiful Heida always looked after us, she magically predicted our wishes. we want, but the communication was very fun, giving us good emotions and after 5 massage complex we felt like on wings. Clean, orderly and organized work of a large team. Food is very good and tasty, seafood lovers will not be disappointed either. Themed evenings every night, who is missing it night fun, can be extended in the old town of Side, because the location is good. Delicious cocktails and champagne with sweet cherries at the pool bar. The sea is maybe 400m, pl the place is small, standing booth with soft drinks and beer, as well as the minus, but the guy who works here is very helpful, he helps to move the sunbeds and delivers the drinks to the table. The sea is so warm that you hardly refresh yourself, the bottom is sandy, slowly deepening. We chose directly to top ten.

Me and my partner stayed at this hotel for a week in September, and it went from bad to worse. Please avoid this hotel! When we arrived at the hotel, we were met by a man on reception who seemed to want us out of the way as quickly as possible, he gave us our room card and we were sent on our way. Another reception worker carried our bags into the lift after I asked him twice that I would rather take my own bag up to my room. When we got to our room I was shocked to see it was facing next doors hotel which was something quite literally out of a horror movie, fans whirring so loudly you could hear it with the doors closed, I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep so we had to go down to reception and pay for what they called a sea view room, which it was if you stuck your head around the balcony wall! The room they had given us, was faulty, the lights keep turning off and the aircon didn’t work, we tried to let reception know about this, but not a single member of reception staff spoke English, they told us that it was working and there were no other rooms, after pleading our situation they placed us in the room next door to us, that funnily enough, was empty, so the hotel wasn’t full! We had paid for a sea view and never got one, however after 2 room changes and a long day of travelling we decided to just stay in that room and try and rest. The hotel was mainly full of Germans, Russians and Polish, who for some reason decided that they didn’t like us and were very rude, they would cut infront of you in queues such as at the bar and the lift. Gave you dirty looks and just ignored you when you tried to be welcoming, they even booed when finding out that you were English. However I must add that this isn’t the hotels fault, but I’d like to make it known to other people who may be looking at this hotel. The staff were also very rude towards us, made it very obvious that they didn’t like us, they would offer everyone else around us drinks, but then ignore us? They would greet the other guests at the hotel upon arriving to the restaurant, but then ignore us when we said hello. This got very frustrating as we were nothing but polite and kind to the staff. The staff even asked us for tips, which was shocking as not a single member of staff did anything that was worthy of a tip. The food at this hotel is not 5* standard, it isn’t catered towards the British, for example, no simple things like toast at breakfast, it was all cooked meats and a small cereal selection. The food standard wasn’t great either, most things slightly heated, even when we arrived as it opened. (However the pool bar food was a better standard) The Al la carte restaurant was absolutely awful, mine and my partners food was brought out at different times so by the time he had finished his dessert, my main course was just arriving! They got my pre ordered food wrong and then said that was what I had ordered. I got a different part of lamb to the rest of the guests that was that well do
