Avra Beach Resort

Lovely hotel with good food/drinks. I came as a young solo female traveller and was made to feel very comfortable by everyone at the hotel and even got an upgraded room on the highest floor which felt very safe. Would definitely come back.

Our first ever trip to Greece and the Avra Beach did not disappoint. We booked a deluxe room with a sea view it was large and comfortable. Able to convert into two rooms by sliding a panel across. We had large double bed and two single beds in the other half of the room. The hotel is immaculate the staff work very hard to keep it clean. We were all inclusive with a buffet restaurant a beach snack bar and an Italian and Greek restaurant during the day. There is a beach side bar and another bar serving spirits wine cocktails etc. The food was great and plentiful. The restaurant staff worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly. All of the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The entertainment staff were great engaging everybody and the few children that were there seemed to be having a great time. All in all a great holiday glad we chose Avra Beach

Let me start by saying the overall holiday was good, location was great, and the staff were outstanding. It was simply the room accommodation which we found very poor. We love Greece and particularly Rhodes, so we know what to expect. On the positive side, the Jet2 side of the holiday was great and highly recommended (first time we've used them), also the staff at this hotel are almost all fantastic. A special mention to Billy the entertainments guy and to Kiriakos and Mike at the pool bar. They were friendly, great fun and a pleasure to be around. On the 'neither positive or negative side', the food was average at best. We ate out a few times despite being all inclusive as we found the food a bit repetitive and not the greatest quality (although not the worst we've ever experienced on an all inclusive). A slight negative, would be the small area around the pool and a distinct lack of beds. This is a common theme on these types of holiday but is exacerbated by the usual suspects claiming way too many beds and hardly using them during the day. We did witness a few bed wars during the week (which added to the daytime entertainment). We generally only take 1 No. bed between four of us (2 adults + 2 kids) and use chairs to supplement, if there are spares, we'll take two. The beach location, with free beds on the sand is a positive although the number of beds is the same issue. On to the real negative. We stayed in what appeared to be last part of the hotel still to be refurbished (Room 308 I think). The room was very tired and had a few issues which made it a space you didn't want to spend any time in (we only really spend about an hour a day awake in the room getting ready to got out in any case, so it didn't ruin our holiday). As you will see from the photos, the major issues were the poor electrics (I wouldn't fancy very small children using the socket in question), the bathroom floor drain being open and the cover not fitting, and the very tired, dirty old balcony furniture (as it happens you wouldn't want to sit on it anyway as the view from the balcony was of an unkempt grassy area and a building opposite). To be fair, we didn't pay for sea view rooms so wasn't expecting one, although also wasn't expecting the balcony and view we got. Maybe the already refurbished rooms are fine and are up to 4* standard, however the one we stayed in was 2* (maybe 3*) at best. As we spend so little time in the room, we didn't bother complaining or seeking a move, so it didn't ruin the holiday at all. But we thought it was worth reviewing what we did get, so that others are aware of what they might get. Would we go back? Difficult one - It would have to be in a much better room and at the right price, so we'd never say never.
