The 202-room Alexander the Great is an upscale beachfront resort that caters to a largely U.K. clientele of families and older couples. In addition to a crescent-shaped beach, there are four pools, including a children's splash pool and a large adult-only pool with massaging water loungers. Rooms are elegant and modern plus many feature ocean views from scenic balconies, but street-facing rooms pick up traffic noise. This stylish property offers meal plans with several on-site dining and drinking spots; these include the main buffet-style restaurant with rotating themes, a beachfront Japanese restaurant, and an outdoor entertainment venue serving cocktails and light snacks. The hotel is centrally located in the ancient town of Paphos, within a short walk of shops, cafes, and the harbor. Travelers might want to compare rates at the Louis King Jason, a boutique with stunning, apartment-style accommodations.
