Avra Beach Resort

The weather was great,the room was great the rest wasn’t the best, We decided to go in November for the last week of the season but didn’t enjoy it,we felt like the staff just wanted the season to finish and we were a distraction, For the first couple of nights the outside bar was open where we love spending our nights with the amazing staff,unfortunately this closed and we had to use the main bar,the weather was good so they could have kept this open,lots of staff were finished before the end of the season,the staff are the life and sole of the hotel and it was disappointing they weren’t there for our stay as we love them,as it was the last week no one seemed bothered,we weren’t treated like we normally are,it was a very strange experience not like we are used to,everyone looked tired and not bothered, The restaurant food was mediocre at best,as it was the last week they weee using up what was left,the bread was stale,you should buy fresh bread whatever it’s not expensive,there was onion soup one day then 2 days later,it was like they weee using up whatever was left, There was nothing put on for us through the day like the cocktails/frappes etc that guests throughout the year enjoy,the animation team was shocking they don’t interact like ones have in the past and the evening entertainment was not the best, AVRA has been our favourite place for a few years now going 2/3 even 4 times a year but this time we didn’t have a good experience, Will we be returning? I would say yes but not this time of year, All in all we came away disappointed,please treat all guests the same all year round, Hopefully we get the experience we have come to enjoy next time we are there

Where do I start? A very bad experience at AVRA beach, Some of the staff are good but others look after repeat guests,one manager Billy kept giving premium bottles to a regular guest Matt which was unfair, There was nothing put on for us like they do during peak season only mediocre entertainment,none of the cocktail days etc, Now to the worst part of the holiday,a lot of guests were very ill so much so that some weren’t allowed to fly home so their family had to leave them,asking what caused it we believe it was the outside Italian/Greek restaurant,it was not good,also there were lots of guests with multiple bites on them no idea if they weee bed bugs or Mosquito bites but looked horrid, Would we return,definitely not at the end of the season,please treat guests the same all year round and please no favouritism,we may return we will see

As a family of 8 this was our first time staying here. The security guard was very helpful with our suitcases to our floor on our first night. The main part we loved as a family was the beach was just at the back of the hotel which made it easy in terms of if you wanted an early swim you could just walk out to it. The hotel is also very clean and the staff are all pleasant to talk to. For example, one of us have important exams coming and the staff would often check on her whenever they saw her revising. For anyone who would like to explore outside of the resort, there are plenty of nearby shops and restaurants, we would recommend going on a boat trip to Lindo’s we loved our time exploring it and been on the sea. As a family we would agree that the food was lovely and accommodates all dietary needs, especially as there are two eating spots on the resort. If you are travelling as a family you do not need to worry about entertainment, the resort offers a wide range at the end of the night but during the day the entertainment team will ensure there are things to do such as table tennis, volleyball to aqua gym. There is also a tennis court on the resort. We wish we could personally thank everyone on the team but thank you Bea, Kristina, Alan, Sergio and Spiros for the joy you brought to our family with the entertainment you provided. As a family we would love to thank Mr Kostas and the restaurant team for their professionalism throughout our 10 days. They were always very smiley and attentive by making sure we was ok. They also made sure that there was a table that accommodated us. We would also love to thank George, Nkosi and both of the Mike’s for going out of their way to have small talks during our day, again there could be more names but these stood out. Furthermore, thank you Mr Vasilis and the bar staff for your hospitality. Anastasio was a pleasant bartender and always willing to have a quick chat whilst serving drinks to the point he would often memorise our drinks when he saw us. To summarise, we would recommend having a visit at the resort, it is well cared for by all the staff, in particular Kassini who was our house keeper she was so wonderful and often went out her way with any concerns we had with our room. There are plenty events throughout day to keep all ages entered but if you want to sunbathe there are plenty available to get one when needed. For us the staff made us feel at home which allowed us a family to enjoy the resort & build a wonderful memories due to the environment

Fantastic friendly hotel . Best entertainment and team I have ever had in an hotel . Food was good and outside snack bars and bars well positioned. Loved it so much my granddaughter who travelled with us went back with friends In September and we are looking at next year . Very handy having the shuttle into Rhodes town for only 6 euros return .

Where do I start.. Good points, Modern room “lucky for some I know” Lunch time beach restaurant is good. No rush for sun beds. Beach is safe and clean. Grounds are clean and staff very nice. Desserts taste good. Entertainment people are fab, great with kids and not pushy. Bad points. No water bottles given as part of all inclusive. Drinks are basic and not that tasty Breakfast and dinner is basic to say the least for Greece. I was expecting good amounts and tasty, but didn’t have any. Massive queues for food “sometimes outside the restaurant” and not a huge variety of food. Pool area is manic and it’s out of season, so summer would be nuts. As a family we always go to turkey for holidays and wanted to try Greece for a change, It’s not changed our mind. I would imagine this hotel in peak summer time being mayhem and not relaxing. All in all, I’d say 6/10.. as the good really outshine the bad. I think once you go turkey and experience those hotels and food, you’ll just compare.

As a family we would recommend this hotel again. The hotel provided everything we needed and more. The beach is a walking distance from the hotel. From the moment we entered the hotel the staff was welcoming, the security guard at the hotel was very nice to us and helped us with the suitcases. Furthermore, the food at the restaurant was very nice and had a wide variety that complements everyone’s dietary needs. I would love to state Spartalis Kostas & the staff were very accommodating and ensured we was well looked after and sat together as a family of 8. In additional to this, in regards to the bar staff, there were 2 Mikes, George, Anastasio and Nickos who were always smiling. There are more staff members in the bar we would love to shoutout but these are the names that stood out to us. There was also a housekeeper named Kassiani who was outstanding, she was very accommodating to our wishes & concerns in our room. For anyone who travels as a family, this hotel provides everything for all ages for example, volleyball, kids disco and karaoke. The entertainment team is very pleasant, Sergio, Alan, Bea, Kristina and the Mc team. They were all very nice and always smiling. They often came to us and checked on us when they saw us. Overall, we would love to thank the team for always going out of their way to make us feel at home but also how attentive they were.
