Alexandros

2 readers found this review helpful

I have stayed at the Alexandros Hotel 7 times since 2004, that I feel part of the family and have been treated as such. Each time I go more members of my family join me this year family members from Canada are making the trip to Crete so they too can enjoy a relaxing holiday with a great atmosphere.
The hotel is cleaned constantly by friendly staff, the food is good with Litsa remembering everyone’s preferences. The Dusk till Dawn bar is run expertly by Maria and she'll keep pouring for as long as you can keep drinking.
My favourite restaurant in Sissi is Kokata's just a 4 minute walk from the hotel. The village is small and friendly with a good choice of restaurants along the harbour and a few bars. There are many gift shops so you can find something for everyone. The large super market along from the hotel is well stocked and clean.
I recommend a stay at the Alexandros every time 10 out of 10.

We went as a family to this hotel. The resort is very quiet which suited us. We ate at the Pink Flamingo 3 times & meal was good each time, ate three times down at the harbour, Mama Mia's, Miramare & Elite, meals were all good but service at Elite was like watching episode of Fawlty Towers as waiters did not have a clue what they were doing.
The hotel rooms were kept very clean with change of bedding & towels every 2 days. The cleaners were mother & daughter & they were always smiling & always saying hello.
Maria, Litsa, Manolis (the Dad) & Nana who run the hotel were great. Litsa makes breakfast & will make you toast if you ask, Manolis makes the best pork chops in Sissi, and Nana always has a wave for you & a yeia sas.
Ate lunch there most days & was always good especially the chips.
Greek night at hotel was great & we all had lots of fun.
The pool is kept clean & lots of sun beds, sometimes it was only us round pool as never really that busy. Other guests were really friendly.
In the evenings we would sit in the pool bar & enjoy a drink with Maria who was good fun & always had a laugh with her, it was a great holiday & we will miss being there. We would highly recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel, quite. Maria, Litsa, Manos and grandma very friendly and will do anything for you.
Close to main part of Sissi rooms good and cleaned on regular basis, lovely pool clean and plenty of sunloungers, plenty of good eating places especially Mama Mia's, Pink Flamingo.
Sissi Arms good pub with good food just down the road, would recommend for a quite holiday and to relax, would certainly go back and recommend.

Returned this morning from a lovely 2 week stay at Alexandros. Very friendly people, nothing was too much trouble for them and remarkably impressed by the rooms being cleaned daily! Also very pleased that the bar would stay open until the last person left - lets say in our case that wasn't until 1.30 - 2am!
Was a bit disappointed that we had basic shower facilities, and the view from our room wasn't great (power cables and a house under construction) but did have nice views of the sea and the sunsets.
Will recommend Pink Flamingo, Kokotas, Fisherman's Place, Mike's Place and Mamma Mia's for dining out. The resort itself was so quiet and peaceful, really sad to leave last night.
Am definitely planning to come back to Alexandros again soon!

This is our third year back at the Alexandros and this hotel is going from strength to strength and deservedly so, Maria, Litsa, Manos and Grandma just cannot do enough for you to ensure that you have the most incredible stay, we feel that its like home from home.
The food is well cooked, presented and plentiful and at very reasonable prices, the bar is open for as long as you want to stay drinking, the pool is spotlessly clean and well maintained with an abundance of sunbeds and parasols - there is absolutely no need to "reserve" them.
The rooms are clean and comfortable and the cleaning girls a joy. Lots of lovely places to eat or have a drink whilst watching the magnificent sunsets down in the harbour, our favourite has to be Mamma Mia's, well worth a visit, cars are cheap to hire taxis also cheap to hire, lots a day trips are available to book a particular favourite of ours was Spinalonga the evacuated Leper colony a very emotional and interesting place to visit. Malia is 10 minutes car journey for the younger people who want the clubs and bars and night-life.
We have now secured our flights for return journey number 4 for next year at the Alexandros, when you have found perfection no real point looking any further.

Stayed at Alexandros, Sissi. Hotel is ok, rooms and bathroom basic and cleaning could have been better. Would not choose it again.
Best for eating out try Mikes Place, hidden behind supermarket opposite Union Jack Pub (we ate there a few times and go for his specials). Or Mama Mias, also Kokotas up past Palm Bay Hotel.

We stayed at the Hotel Alexandros for 2 weeks in July 2006. It was a wonderful place to stay.
Sissi is a lovely town and the hotel is quiet and easy walking distance to anything in the town. We especially loved El Greco Beach for swimming.
The hotel dinners were excellent and every other restaurant we ate at during our stay was also excellent, with special mention of Paradosiako and Michael's.
The hotel was clean, as friendly as can be and any help/information we needed was readily offered.

We have just returned from spending 2 weeks here very friendly people, Papa, Maria, Leitza rooms nice and clean, bedding & towels changed every couple of days.
Nothing is too much trouble for them, plenty of nice places to eat round the harbour Miramar, pink flamingo, Anatolis, good English food at the calypso even Bisto gravy.
You can catch bus to Agia Nikolaos also Malia wouldn’t go there at night would go back again.
