Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Alia Palace Hotel - Adults Only 16+ is a hotel for couples who put calm and a view first. It stands on the hillside above Pefkochori, with the Kassandra Gulf spread out below the pools, a spa with massages and facials, suites with private pools and an All Inclusive option that covers buffet meals and drinks at the bar from morning until 23:00. Guests praise the friendly staff, who often upgrade rooms, the breakfast, the comfortable sunbeds and the quiet that comes with an adults-only house. The beach is the main compromise: it is 800 metres away and reached by the free shuttle, so this is not a beachfront stay. Dinner divides opinion, and some private-pool rooms lack the sea view. Pefkochori's shops and tavernas are only 500 metres away, though, so couples who want peace, views and a village on the doorstep will feel at home.
Guests score it 8.8 out of 10 — the average across the 16 hotels we list on Halkidiki is 9.2.
Featured in our guide: 10 luxury all-inclusive hotels in Halkidiki: the best for 2026
- The hillside setting is what guests mention most: views over Pefkochori and the gulf from the pools, the terraces and the sea-view rooms, which many call stunning.
- Guests describe the staff as kind, professional and always ready to help, and several were upgraded to a sea-view room or a suite on arrival.
- The hotel sits on the hill, and the beach is 800 metres away. A free shuttle runs there, but some guests would prefer a shorter walking route, and others expected a private beach at a five-star hotel. The road up to the hotel also draws comments.
- Breakfast wins praise, but several guests were disappointed by the food at dinner, especially the evening buffet. Some would also like livelier evenings, describing the entertainment as thin and the music at times too loud.
