Four relaxed bars and a generous buffet restaurant keep food and drinks close at hand throughout the day.

Thalassa Buffet Restaurant is the main hub, serving buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner with a mix of Greek and international favourites, live stations and a dedicated kids’ buffet. Highchairs are available and there’s a smart-casual dress code in the evenings (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen).

Between meals, you can snack at the Ammos Pool Bar or seasonal Aura Pool Bar, both by the pools, while the Beach Bar keeps you topped up with drinks and light bites steps from the sand (opening dates seasonal and occupancy-dependent). Evenings gravitate towards the stylish Pearl Bar, open until late for cocktails and coffee.

The All Inclusive package typically includes buffet meals at Thalassa plus snacks for at least three hours per day, and a selection of local wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, hot drinks and soft drinks for a minimum of 12 hours daily from the main pool bars. Guests receive a discount on drinks at the Pearl Bar and Beach Bar. Exact opening hours, venues and inclusions can vary by season; check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Water babies are spoilt for choice at Alexandros Palace.

Outside, you’ll find three freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool and two larger pools each with a children’s section. Spacious sunbathing areas come with sunbeds and parasols, and pool towels are provided with a refundable deposit.

For extra splash-filled fun there’s an on-site aqua park and splash park, complete with sprinklers, buckets, water cannons, water guns and small slides – opening daily in split sessions (usually 10:00–14:00 and 16:00–18:00). Age, height or weight restrictions may apply for specific features.

If you’re craving a quieter swim, head to the indoor adults-only pool in the spa centre. Down at the coast, a sandy beach about 350m away offers sunbathing and swimming in clear, shallow waters, with motorised and non‑motorised water sports such as canoeing, kayaking, pedalos, windsurfing, scuba diving and snorkelling available through an external operator (local charges; minimum age and conditions apply).

Wellness fans can escape to the spa centre, which features a sauna, steam room, whirlpool and an indoor adults-only pool. A menu of massages and beauty treatments is available for guests 18+ (charges apply; opening hours may vary by occupancy).

The gym is equipped with cardio machines, strength-training kit and free weights. Guests aged 18 and over can use the gym by reservation between roughly 10:00 and 18:00.

Active types can enjoy basketball, tennis, volleyball and table tennis, while the entertainment team organises occasional daytime activities, especially between mid-June and mid‑September, including water-based fun. Evenings bring a mix of frequent shows, quizzes, karaoke, bingo, mini-disco and in-house entertainment in high season, with more low-key live music and mini-disco outside of peak dates.

On the practical side, there’s a 24-hour reception offering concierge-style assistance, luggage storage, shuttle services (local charge), and motorised scooter charging, plus an on-site mini-market for everyday essentials.
