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.

I am currently staying at this hotel, a family holiday, all adults. I’ve been in numerous hotels, on an all inclusive basis, and visited the hotel next door to the Avra Beach a few years ago. And wanted to give this hotel a try. Here are my thoughts so far. A lot of good points, but also silly, easy fixed negatives. Reception staff are friendly enough on approach to desk, helpful and have quickly fixed a couple of minor issues in our room. However, coming in and out of area/ main door, you are never acknowledged with a hello, or even a smile. There always seem to be 2 or 3 of them huddled round the same pc screen. The hotel is kept impeccably clean by an army of cleaners, however, toilets in public area do not seem to be cleaned or bins emptied during daylight hours. Also, toilets in reception are as expected decor wise, but other public toilets seem unorganised (hand dryer behind door ?) and are all a bit unfinished as all just concrete walls with no flooring or tiling anywhere. Saying that, no shortage of toilets and well placed throughout hotel. Rooms. We have 4 rooms in our family, 3 in the new extension which are open plan, slightly cramped but pleasant and comfortable. However, there are no hooks for towels anywhere, very little hangers (4) and not a lot of drawer space. The 3 in new part are all overlooking a roofed courtyard with no outdoor privacy and no natural light. Also, no hanging areas for any wet towels , swimsuits etc. One room is located in the older area of hotel. This room is more spacious, has all the necessary storage and towel hooks etc, but is very tired in decor . We did ask to change to sea view, this is at a cost of 32 euros per night. Too expensive in our eyes. Food / Drink: The food choice is without a doubt, very good, plentiful and delicious. Although, as some other reviews state, sometimes lukewarm. Drinks are local based alcohol and juices, equally as nice and servers always very pleasant. However! The dining room, is very, very busy and the acoustics when busy, are horrible. Very loud, lots of clattering and somehow, not very organised with layouts of dishes. Most definitely not a relaxing area to eat, and unfortunately this ruins the experience of the delicious food. Also, there is no outside dining area attached to main restaurant, so no getting away from the noise. The bar snack selection offered between meals and until midnight is local Greek fayre, again delicious . The pizza & Italian beach bars are a godsend. A completely different a**osphere and excellent alternative to the noisy dining room, it’s open daily 11.30-17.30 and well worth a visit. Swimming pool is well located and not overly busy due to the hotel being located on a superb shingle beach. Sun-loungers are plentiful, we have never had an issue either by the pool or the beach, but it is still early in the season so this might be different mid summer. The hotel operates a strict “no towel on the lounger to reserve” policy. It’

Great place! Definitely worth going to for family holidays weather wasn’t the best but was still around the 20’s. Workers were very nice. Fun activities in the day for adults and children.Recommend going to the Old Town although not much to do except for looking in shops. Museum is a decent day out in the old town too.Swimming pool on site but pretty cold (don’t know if it’s warmer in summer holidays) entertainment past 9:00 PM so not very good for little ones.Spa on site but fairly expensive. Bingo at 9:30 PM on some days with all sorts of prizes like:champagne,personalized animation t-shirts, 20 minute spa experience and lots more! Definitely would go again.

What a fantastic place to stay, everything was perfect,kiriakos,costas the manager, Thassos,Maria, Katrina,were all fantastic,the food was top class,the service was great,the complex was spotless,I would definitely recommend this resort in Rhodes too anyone going on holiday as long as you can find Nikos❤️

What a lovely hotel! We stayed for a week and were blown away by the staff, facilities, food and the area. We came early April as we didn’t want it to be too hot or busy- it was perfect! Lovely food with lots of choices and snacks all day! Lovely cocktails with many to choose from, with great bar staff. Rooms cleaned daily with lovely housekeeping staff! The hotel has a mini market in which was super helpful. Overall a brilliant experience thanks so much!!

Amazing 10 days here with my daughter. We go away a lot, BnB and All inclusive. One of the best AI i have been to, food is very good for the price. Location is outstanding right on the beach. Italian/greek restaurant is lovely. Main thing here is the staff. Animation team all so good at their job and friendly, will miss them all esp Tony and George and Pawel the lifeguard. Bar staff, waiters etc. Great team, keep it up and see you again soon. Chris and Lacey

21st visit and another great holiday. The hotel has undergone massive improvements over the last few years with additional premium rooms, decking, bars, restaurants they are continuing with a refurbishment programme for older rooms....and are looking really good. Our room was extremely clean and had a great view of the garden pool and sea. As always the bar,reception and dining room staff have been brilliant nothing is too much trouble ever helpful they are really the life blood of this hotel and the reason we return. The entertainment team were new again this year and despite only a few weeks of operation (late April early May) were very good with the activities available we participated in stretching, aqua gymn, darts water polo and volleyball. I was disappointed that french boulle and table tennis were not part of the programme as in previous seasons and hope they appear in October, also hope that a junior programme is reintroduced ( for safety reasons children should not be playing volleyball etc WITH THE ADULTS....this is an accident waiting to happen). With a team of 5 animators this is more than enough to offer all of the above as mentioned if only they weren't selling t shirts and bingo tickets (€10) 😲.Ps a kids programme would give the opportunity to restart the diploma/medal ceremony on an evening to replace the tshirt collection service offered as part of the evening entertainment......NOT Unfortunately the evening entertainment has not improved on our previous 2023 visits, all the good work done in previous seasons with acts like the Jersey boys, tribute acts like BoneyM, the Beatles, Legends, the drifters, Supremes and others have stopped and been replaced by some very poor choices ....CUBAN NIGHT...OMG please not again. Please Avra have a rethink we return again in October with many returning friends with similar opinions and and hope that it has improved. Thank you for a lovely holiday see you in October
