Avra Beach Hotel

The Hotel is in an excellent location. Check in was smooth. There were rolls and water for us in the fridge on arrival. Our room was on the first floor but wasn`t far from the road, a bit dated and the air con was a bit noisy. Had we only been there up to a week it would have been fine but the next day we paid to go into a room on the 4th floor which was much further from the road. It was very modern and the air con was silent. I loved the seperate shower room and tiolet. The rooms are a good size. The food for an all inclusive is fantastic. The snack bar offered fresh food all day. The wraps were lovely. The Greek and Italian snack bar that was open for most of the day was great. The restaurant food was plentiful and tasty. When things ran out it didn`t take them long to refill it. I found plenty of choice for myself and my Husband. I really liked the themes every night. If you are there for 2 weeks, it is the same the second week but I found I took something different the second week. Being allocated a table at dinner on arrival made it easier too. The pool area was lovely but we tended to go down onto the beach as the pool area filled up quickly every day. It was only a few steps to get onto the beach. The Pool bar was well stocked and there was never much of a queue. Last but not least.... the staff!! What can I say!! Every memeber of staff we encountered were fabulous. The Reception staff were extremely helpful. The bar staff did an amazing job. The waiting staff in all eateries worked so hard and were very friendly. the cleaners were always on the go and the place looked good. The Entertainment team were always very nice and kept us up to speed with what was on. The pool was cleaned every night. A few things I might have liked was some fresh fruit in the snack bar all day, No Karaoke as an evenings entertainment and a glass in the bathroom. All in all we would come back and recomment to our friends.

Just back from a week here in early July. Rooms are simple but clean & sufficient with comfortable beds. Fantastic to have a full sized under-counter fridge and kettle provided (no T&C though). Aircon worked well, was included in price and was absolutely essential for us. It got up to 38 degrees in the shade and the heat radiates from the buildings well into the evening & it felt hard to escape the heat at times (other than your room of course). Balconies were great in the morning, but just too hot for us from mid morning to around 8pm. Great for drying clothes though! Breakfast was fine - eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, bread, melon, yoghurt, Greek pastries and a hot drinks machine. Plenty of supermarkets very close by for water, milk, toiletries etc. We ate in the Avra tavern a few times - not the best meals of the holiday, but still good food. The staff are helpful, friendly and ready to have a chat. The location of the hotel is just wonderful - so close to the beach with plenty of trees providing essential shade. Enough sun beds (€5 each per day) which some reserved with towels the night before but you can also sit at some tables under the trees without the need to buy food from the taverna. The outside areas were well tended and the small beach was cleaned and checked first thing daily. The water gets cloudy through swimmers disturbing the sand though, so get in early for great snorkelling (7am). The beach is mainly of very small stones which shift underfoot at the waters edge making it potentially tricky getting in and out (as per my 84yr old Dad). We’d stay here again for sure if revisiting Nidri as the hotel and taverna provide everything needed with good, clean facilities both on site and close by. Thank-you for making it a great stay.

Lovely hotel very clean and friendly staff , food ok would recommend going early when it opens as food a lot warmer as if you go later in evening. If you get for an upgrade then take it, room ok in older building as you not in it long but very run down, but as I say you only in it for changing and sleeping. Bit breezy as it’s on the beach but ok Lots of options to eat through the day we had a really good week

This lovely but basic hotel is family run with a taverna serving delicious food right by the beach. The town with plentiful restaurants and a port are close by, just an easy stroll away. A quiet location with friendly staff. We had a great holiday.

Great staff and great service. Great and clean rooms that are cleaned every day. Great location next to the beach and the main street, quit by night. Good breakfast and food. I highly recommend Avra beach.

First ate here 30 years ago (food was rustic, freshly made & wonderful then, so much so we ate every night for two weeks.) Then we returned 4 years ago ( I believe still owned by the same family?) it was excellent again & finally we dined there last night which wasn’t great I’m sorry & sad to say 😞 The location is spectacular, right on the beach with an amazing view, car parking is right at the restaurant door too, it’s very clean & the staff are pleasant but unfortunately & I’ve never left a negative review for any business before, the food we ate was disappointing. We’d calamari, spaghetti dishes, roast chicken & steak, none were cooked fresh, a little similar to motorway services quality. Hopefully it was just a bad night we chose, to be fair the fresh salad dishes that others were eating looked good. The restaurant wasn’t full, quite a few empty tables (8pm us English eat early?) however you’d think at this time of year & with this location you’d struggle to get in? Sorry again for this average review, genuinely my intentions are to help, it’s important to know about customer’s experiences in my book. Good luck! No idea about price, we don’t look at costs, just want good food whether it’s cheap or expensive 😊
