My wife and I stayed at the Alexandria beach hotel for our first visit to Tsilivi in Zante, we were very impressed with the hotel, the position of which couldn't be better. Just on the outskirts of the resort overlooking the beach and the sea, the hotel consists of the main hotel block with several bungalow units in the grounds, we were housed in one of the units which we were slightly dissapointed in at first.The room was very basic but I supposed adequate.
The hotel it's self was was very clean and well run, staff very friendly and helpful, the linen/towels was changed every day by the cleaning staff. The poolside facilities were good, plenty of sun loungers and sunshades, the bar alongside the pool was very good with a good menu if you were hungry.
The restaurant was well run in it's entirety but the American style buffet meals for us anyway, left a lot to be desired.The breakfast consisted mainly of cold continental style quisine salads ,ect, although there were fried eggs and Chippolata sausages with baked beans served every day these do get a bit monotonous after 2 weeksThe evening meals had slightly more variation in them but for us were not hot enough, which when serving meat I think is important, the plates were also cool which didn't help,
The only other downside to the hotel is, it is situated on the top of a very steep hill, which to be fair the brochure did state, but views out to sea were magnificent,
The resort of Tslivi was very lively with plenty of bars/restaurants to suit every taste, we hired a car for ten days and explored all over the island with very little traffic the driving was very relaxed and enjoyable, looking forward to going back in the future, but maybe on a room only basis at the Alexandria Beach hotel.

- Lovely views of the sea
- Clean beach
- Hotel is very clean, in public spaces
- this hotell is dated and indifferent: don't be fooled by the nice pictures of nice rooms. If you are given a room that has not been "modernized", you will find yourself spending your precious holiday in a room which is an insult to half decent hostel accommodation.
- Food: breakfast is rarely hot, and coffee is not served at the table. So, you take your coffee/tea from the machine and put it on your table, and then it goes cold while you get your breakfast. Or the other way round. Your choice. The waitresses are very very keen on removing your plate and cutlery at the earliest possible opportunity, but won't actually do anything for you.
Dinner: more or less the same everday, but adequate quality and quantity. As long as you are not to bothered about good desserts.
Snackbar at the pool: suprisingly good, espec the Greek salad, the burgers and pitta sandwiches !

- Pool: too small for this size hotel and unheated. Only 2 people actually used during my stay in October. Sun loungers are uncomfortable and are guaranteed to give you a nice little backache. No mattresses, no towels, some parasols are unusable.

- Staff: nice and friendly, but really need some customer service training !

Oh, and one more thing. Putting toilet paper into the toilet is not allowed. You wipe your a*** and put the paper into the bin provided. Apparently the island sewers cannot cope with toilet paper......nice.........

Would I go back there ? No way. I have had more pleasant stays in so called developping countries.

the hotel is nice but the rooms could do with updating,people that work there are very nice and helpful easy access to the beach the pool could do with heating up other than that we had a great holiday.the views are beautiful and it is a lovely place to go for long walks or just lounge around the beach,apart from the breakfasts the dinner's where lovely a different choice every night and the desserts were lovely especially the lovely cake's would love one now,i would recommend it to anyone again lovely people

The hotel was clean and well placed with beautiful views of the sea,it is up a steep hill so would be difficult for anyone with walking problems. The food was cold and because it was the end of the season the choice at breakfast got less as the week went on.At the evening meal the served the same selection of fruit and ice cream every other night (Apple,Kiwi and Grapes) or the other night there was one dessert along with the fruit. The rooms are basic and could do with a make over. There are no beach towels and only shampoo and one tablet of soap in the bathroom all week. The restaurant is at the bottom of the garden so when it did rain you got wet going for your meal. The beach bar is dull and could do with perhaps painting and a few pictures. This could be a nice hotel with a bit of care!
