We booked our week holiday with tui, a long trip to Thásos but a relatively pleasant one (especially the ferry trip which was very scenic). we were dropped off at what we thought was our hotel but was in fact the sister hotel next door, once we realized this we were transported by golf buggy to our hotel and from this point on it was pretty much perfection. We checked in by the receptionist (her name escapes me, sorry), who was friendly and pleasant, after a brief explanation about our all inclusive package we were offered a drink of our choice while we were checked in, we both had amazing and refreshing strawberry daiquiris, we then were shown to our suite. the suite we chose was a sea view grand (junior) suite with private pool, it was everything we hoped for, a beautiful room, clean, spacious, the bathroom was large and luxurious, twin sinks bath and separate shower. the living room/bedroom was lovely with a corner sofa looking out of the patio doors with a view of our pool and the sea beyond, the pool was clean and cool with 2 sun loungers (very comfortable) and a seating area. All in the room was amazing and very comfortable. We read many reviews which mainly talked about the food at Alexandra Elegance, and it did not disappoint. the food was incredible. We had an all inclusive package which was as part of our deal we could dine next door once a week, but we found this unnecessary as the food at the site restaurant (YOLO) was fantastic, buffet style for breakfast is full of choice salad, fruit, hot and cold food all of excellent quality. Again lunch is buffet style , you can eat light or heavy meals, again all excellent quality. Dinner is where it truly shines, you can have starter buffet style which is always superb and then you get a choice of either meat or fish from the a la carte menu, these a la carte meals are nothing short of superb especially the meat dishes (compliments to the chef). Then you have the desserts which again are on the buffet, but don't let this fool you, they are fantastic and usually a wide variety which you just want to taste them all!! again as all inclusive our drinks were free and found ourselves usually having a cocktail with our meals and they are expertly made and delicious (but can be strong, at least for us as we do not drink much). the waiting staff are polite and friendly especially Georgia and Tasos (Maitre d'hotel). Alexandra Elegance has a beach at the hotel which it shares with its sister hotel but i could be mistaken. the beach was literally a minute walk from our room and was always quiet ( not empty but never over crowded). the beach is very stony which i think is very typical in Greece , this can be easily remedied by buying some beach shoes from the local town which is a maximum 10 minute walk away (really very close). Elegance has it's own loungers (white parasols) which are always available. On each sun lounger set there is a service button, press it and someone from the hotels beach bar w
