Alexandra Resort - All-Inclusive

The setting is beautiful, the staff is very nice but the food was tasteless and selection was small. Also we never got the safe combo working and one television took about 3 visits from maintenance. The resort says you can use their sister resorts but we used the beach at one and were reprimanded by he manager there even though the beach was void of users. It was really bazaar. Then he said we couldn’t sit in the first row if umbrellas, they were for guests in the particular hotel but that unused for the day because nobody was staying there.

Just came back from a wonderful week at the Alexandra Resort. We loved that it was all-inclusive and we didn't have to worry about how much we ate or drank. Some of the things we especially enjoyed included: The ability to walk the beach for miles in each direction. Taking the shuttle to the two sister properties, giving us a good variety of restaurants to choose from. Riding the hotel bikes into town, where we dropped off donations and visited the puppies at Potcake Place. We even rode our bikes to Blue Haven for lunch one day. Doing water aerobics with "Amy from Albuquerque" in the pool three mornings. Listening to the wonderful band, Positive Vibrations. Such a treat! Most of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, with only a couple of exceptions. Our hostess, Jessica, was especially noteworthy. Such a sweet lady. We rented a car for a one-day exploration of the island, and the company brought the car to us. We visited The Hole, Sapodilla Bay, ate lunch at Da Conch Shack, and did quite a bit of geocaching. We ate dinner one night off-site at Coco Bistro, which was a fun experience but made us appreciate the all-inclusive feature of the Alexandra even more after paying the bill! Chairs by the pool were always easy to find. Chairs on the beach were mostly available as long as you placed personal items on them by mid to late morning. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and easy. We especially enjoyed the omelet station. Lots of other options were available. We ate most of our lunches on the deck overlooking the ocean, where there was a lunch menu in addition to access to the indoor buffet, the jerk chicken station, and pizza. We rotated restaurants for dinner, and my personal favorites were the Beach House and the fish restaurant at Alexandra. There is not much I could suggest to improve our experience other than perhaps adding more frequent shuttle options. I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone considering going to Turks & Caicos.

5 nights at this beautiful resort. Beach is great, it was nice to have the option to eat at the two sister resorts for more variety with the all inclusive. Snorkeling within a 20 minute walk down the beach

Upon arrival we were very impressed with the hotel except the check in area was extremely small and crowded with people. When we first arrived the beach is beautiful except the fact that there is 1 ,yes I said 1 bathroom for the whole beach and bar area to use which was a little weird...The room was very nice and clean but we didn’t realize till we went to bed that night that our bed was a full size and between that and the flat pillows it made for a very long week of bad sleep (we are use to a king bed at our home)..The food selection is very poor and we had very few options to choose from.. breakfast ended up being the best meal of the day.. lunch was the same day in and day out with very little to no change.. dinner was less than thrilling also.. this is when we,along with our friends nicknamed this place “weight watcher island” we were worried about gaining weight on vacation and we had nothing to worry about!!! We even tried one of the other sister resorts just to try to get something different to eat..the shuttle buses don’t come often enough and are usually over crowded so we had to get there early so we could be one of the first to get on the 12 passenger vans (not sure what happened to the people left behind) ...We went all inclusive so our drinks were included .. hardly any top shelf liquor mostly cheap stuff and the staff wasn’t that friendly hardly ever got a smile from anyone except The housekeepers they always smile and say hello..the atmosphere was quiet and not very tropical .. I was so excited when I went to the sister hotel and the pool bar actually had music! It was one of the bartenders iTunes from their phone but it was something and it made you feel more like you were in vacation... The pool was nice but the bar is poorly stocked and if you needed a frozen drink the bar tender had to leave the pool bar and walk across the court yard to the other bar to use their blender.. seriously it took more than 10 minutes for her to do this ... are they that hard up that they can’t afford another blender ... heard rumors that this hotel is bank owned and they acted like it.. I would never go back to this hotel not with all the other options.. I like a little variety and don’t feel like I have to change hotels to get it... I give this hotel a thumbs down... but the beach a two thumbs up
