Avra Beach Resort

Visited the start of Easter, the start of the season.
Hotel has just gone through a refurb and still had some snags that needed to be resolved, our room electrics kept tripping, Aircon and room telephone didn't work, with some cables still hanging from the wall in the bathroom.
We had a family room, practical but layout very odd especially having teenagers - very little privacy.
Rooms were very cleaned and we're cleaned everyday with fresh towels provided, however for a 4* hotel would have expected tea, coffee with a kettle to be provided. Was provided when requested.
Rooms were well insulated and couldn't hear our neighbours, however could hear activities and noise from the corridor, this wasn't a hotel issue just inconsiderate guests.
Location was good with hotel being positioned on the beach front and only a 20mins taxi drive to old town Rhodes.
The atmosphere was amazing a brilliant vibe the staff were really friendly and welcoming and special thanks to the amination team, who were absolutely brilliant with always being on hand not just to get us to join in with the days activities but on hand if you or the family needed anything. The evening entertainment was brilliant and was a good mix for all ages, a personal favourite was the violinist and vocalist on a Thursday evening.
With a few tweaks of the snags this will be a brilliant hotel that would meet everyone's needs.

We had a fantastic stay at the Avra Beach Hotel and were so impressed with everything it had to offer.
The food was outstanding for the entire duration of our stay, with a great selection and consistently high standards. It really made a difference to the overall experience.
One of the highlights was the hotel-run bus trip to Lindos, which was absolutely incredible and definitely worth doing — a great way to explore such a beautiful part of the island.
The sunsets from the hotel were simply amazing and something we looked forward to every evening — a perfect way to end the day.
All in all, a wonderful holiday and a hotel we would happily return to.

We are currently staying at Avra Beach Resort in Rhodes and honestly, it has been a fantastic experience so far!

The Hamam spa massage was absolutely amazing – one of the highlights of our stay. Every evening there’s a different themed night which keeps things fun and varied, and there are loads of activities to keep the whole family entertained.

We’re here celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, and the hotel has made it extra special. Our family room overlooking the sea is beautiful – waking up to that view each morning is just perfect.

A huge shout-out to the cleaners who do an incredible job every day – the rooms are spotless. The restaurant staff are always on hand, so attentive and hardworking. There’s one elderly gentleman (I believe his name starts with Camillo) who truly stands out – such a dedicated worker and always with a smile.

The restaurant manager clearly takes pride in making sure everything runs smoothly, and it shows. Also, a big thank you to the two staff members who checked us in late at night (room 511) and the lovely morning ladies – all so welcoming and helpful.

Big shout-out to the entire team – you’ve made our anniversary trip really special. Highly recommend!

This hotel felt like family run place where every single worker is an owner of this place. Why?
Because if you are an owner of a business you care the way no worker usually does.

From reception to housekeeping, bar staff and restaurant everyone has been friendly, smiling, welcoming, warm, happy and kind.

Massive thank you for making me feel good and welcome ❤️
PS: to the manager of the hotel
Appreciate your people, give them bonus :-) they are amazing and i would love to have people like that working for me one day ❤️

Also, tasty food with great choice i loved the greek light cheese ! Haha
All the best for you 🍀

What a fantastic stay at this fabulous resort. We cannot fault this place. The food in the Greek restaurant is so good. Staff are all amazing. Highly recommend

My husband and I had such a good holiday , it was the last week of the hotel being open and it was lovely and quiet
Our room had the pool view and side sea view with terrace , it was an upgrade family room , a lovely surprise organised by our travel advisor.
The food was varied and fantastic array of salads and I’ve never eaten kiwi fruit like it. A special mention to Rena in the restaurant who was amazing , but all were so friendly and helpful and not intrusive , but cleared away so quickly.
Beautiful poached eggs every day !
The family feel of the hotel is outstanding and our room and hotel was spotless , even the pool area
We hired a car for three days , and travelled around the island , found some beautiful places and beaches
We booked a trip to Lindos and Symi through the company in the hotel foyer , also used his bus to go into Rhodes old town during the day but drove in ourselves in the evening . Car hire was £110 euros for three non consecutive days , would have been less if consecutive but that didn’t fit with the limited days of trips we wanted to experience.
We loved the hotel and it’s no frills approach , it just cares and feels like they have cultured a sense of belonging rather than just filling the hotel and grounds with “ stuff to entertain “
Our first trip to Rhodes / Greece and we loved it , we would recommend the hotel if you are looking for a hotel that is smaller and compact but friendly , we used the Greek/ Italian snack bar and the filled rolls at the snack bar.
Kalithea beach resort for a few hours was worth 3 euros each and Anthony Quinn bay was stunning

Only disappointment was the Jet 2 rep who just wasn’t interested as it was the last week of the season , but I don’t blame her she must have been exhausted and we had no trouble doing our own thing

We arrived very late and there is a small fridge in reception where you can get a cup of water and a sandwich or a piece of cake. They could do with bring labelled meat or veggie . We appreciated having something small as we had a long day.
The location is very good , we used the local buses outside to go to Rhodes Town several times.

We visited in 11th -18 th Oct.
We stayed in the newer part of the hotel overlooking the pool, it had sea views. The room was one of the newer ones. The rooms are very compact. There wasn’t a lot of space between the fridge and the bed so opening the door was tight.
The beds was 2 singles put together , we spoke to them then put a sheet over it, not a mattress which still meant there was a gap in the middle.
Agree with all the other comments the rooms are ok but need more hanging space for clothes and hooks to hang things up in general. It was modern but wasn’t a fan of the frosted toilet door and the shower with door closed the floor always ended up wet. That said the cleaners came in every day and always were friendly and changed the towels and cleaned the rooms.
They could do with leaving a bottle of water in the fridge which you could refill.
The food was good, a lot of choice and my partner is veggie and he managed to get something to eat every mealtime. We liked other 2 day time food options of the Greek gyros and the pizzas were always fresh with lots of choice. We both found most of the drinks quite sweet and sugary but they had a large cocktail / mocktail menu.
We would particularly like to mention Young George, Nikos, Anastasia , and the chap who made the fresh gyros. The reception staff were friendly.
The animation team were good. A few of the acts
for the evening were very good , a band one night and two ladies who sang and played electric violin was good. We didn’t get a Sun bed round room the pool for the whole week . We did get one on the beach ( they get taken very quickly) . The beach is has lots of stones so sea shoes are a must . We used the local buses outside and went to Rhodes Town and did a trip
to Lindos and Turkey for the day. . The pool was freezing the sea was warmer.

Amazing hotel, friendly helpful staff, amazing food catering for all, gluten free, vegan and meat eaters, clean and brilliant entertainment would definitely go back

My husband and I spent 2 weeks at this hotel with our daughter/her husband/grandsons joining us midway through. Everyone enjoyed the food, drink, friendly staff etc. The pool was freezing cold though, the sea was much warmer.
We booked a superior room with sea view and had a room overlooking the pool with a side sea view.
When we arrived, very late after a flight delay of 2 and a half hours, we simply wanted to get straight to bed so didn't unpack until next morning. The room had a modern feel with a small hanging rail and 2 large drawers underneath and a bedside unit with two drawers. There was a toilet, shower cubicle washbasin with a mirror above. But there was absolutely nowhere to hang wet towels, no full length mirror , though there was plenty of empty wall space available, and not even a balcony rail to hang washing. I don't think the designers thought it through properly. I have never stayed in a holiday hotel abroad that didn't have outside hanging rails. My daughter found it very difficult, with 2 young children finding space for wet clothing. The only mirror was the one above the washbasin, which caused some problems if I wanted to dry my hair at the same time my husband was wanting to have a shave or one of us needed to look in a mirror. These "minor" issues made it very awkward and, to be honest, made me not to want to book this hotel again. The people who designed these rooms have not thought about the people who are going to stay in them. It's not rocket science!!

I really wanted to like this hotel, but unfortunately, it fell short in so many areas.

The reception staff were quite rude on arrival and before we had put our bags down put an invoice infront of us for the tourist tax which set a bad tone from the start.

There was no bottled water provided in the room or in the hotel at all, and the maids barely cleaned during our stay. The beds didnt get changed at all and to get new towels we had to make sure ours were piled up in the shower. A huge spillage of something remained on our balcony throughout our stay and the floor never felt clean.

There was nowhere to hang towels when showering due to the layout, and overall there just wasn’t enough storage space.

The room design was so strange — the sink was right on the other side of the bed, and the toilet and shower both off the room with frosted doors gave no privacy at all. The frosted glass doors on all the toilets throughout the hotel didn’t help either.

Noise was a big issue too — people were shouting, screaming and banging doors until around 2 a.m. each night and then start again at 5 a.m, making it impossible to sleep. I have never stayed in such a noisy hotel in the UK or abroad. It could have been due to where our room was located but you would think paying for the best room with the best view you would get some quiet!!!

Around the pool and beach area, there were never enough sunbeds for the amount of guests and cigarette ends were scattered everywhere, which wasnt very nice.

The food was limited with not much variety, one section was a total repeat of another and it was extremely busy every time we went in.

There weren’t many toilets available across the hotel either and there was no hotel gym.

On a positive note, the snack bar was very good, the view from our room was amazing, and the location itself is great — close to everything.

Overall, the negatives outweighed the positives. It’s a shame because this hotel gets such good reviews but I wouldn’t stay here based on my experience.

Just returned from a week in Avra beach, and what a week it was...we were there for the halloween party..amazing! Well done Boogie and the team there was pumkin carving, treaure hunt, sweets, disco the place was decorated and all staff dressed up great night.
Room was spacious, a little dated and quite hard beds , could invest in comfier matress,
Food..amazing! Themed night every night , something for everyone, pool snack bar and lunch snack bar also great, pizzas, gyros, fries,, sandwiches...it goes on we were never hungry.
Bar area lobby was lovely nice cocktails.
10 mins bus to Rhodes town we got local bus opposite the hotel 12 euro return for 3 of us.
Pool area and beach 30 seconds from eachother, spent our days skipping from sea to the pool them back again.
Would we return to Avra beach hotel...100000% we would !! We loved it!

Fabulous last minute holiday to Avra Beach Hotel. Wonderful location, as only took 20 mins from airport, and it's only an easy 1 hour walk along the beautuful seafront road into Old Rhodes Town or a short bus ride if you prefer. Food was great, varied, something for everyone, definitely couldn't fault the food. Drinks great, we had all inclusive and there was a huge amount of different drinks, cocktails and spirits included. Definitely don't skimp on measures, always doubles! Service with a smile, all the staff were friendly, happy to help and entertainment crew very funny and good for families. Facilities, had an on site spa, and we had a couples treatment which was so enjoyable, Watersport Facilities on the beach for hire, plenty of sunbeds, just a perfect stay, thank you, we would definitely return.

7 nights here, 2 adults and our 9 year old. We had a great time. Plenty of choice with food and enjoyed the themed evening meal options. The snack bars and italian/Greek lunchtime options were brilliant but the staff were.not friendly at all which was a shame. Main dining room, Rena provided exceptional service and was really friendly.
We were allocated one of the refurbished rooms which was ideal for us, very clean and comfortable.
The entertainment really made the holiday for us. My husband and son thoroughly enjoyed playing boccia, football, volleyball and even water polo. The evening entertainment was very good. We all loved he hotel "theme tune" and group dance. T shirts a great idea. Sam, Tibi, Boogie, Lea and Bea all did a brilliant job of including everyone and created such a feel good atmosphere.

We’ve just come back from an amazing week at Avra beach. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and can’t do enough to make your stay special. The food was really good, always plenty of choice and every night was a themed night with different things to choose from. The location is great, close to the airport and Rhodes town and right on the beach with loads of sun beds. The activities each day were great and the entertainment team work really hard ensuring everyone who wants to take part has fun. We loved the beach volleyball with Tibi and the Boccia with Bea and Boogie. Pool lovely but maybe needs more sunbeds directly next to it. Room was also nice , we had a renovated room which was like new and always spotlessly clean. Can’t wait to return next year. Met some lovely people who come every year and the place has a really nice friendly vibe. Evening entertainment good, all in all we had a really nice time. Highly recommend

This is our 2nd time at avrabeach and we can not fault it, the hotel is spotless. The staff can't do enough for you they go over and above and always have a smile. The bar, restaurant, snack bar, receptionists, cleaners and even the life guard all are a credit to this hotel.
What really makes it really special is the amazing hard working reps who are constantly entertaining you. Special thanks to boogie, sam, lia, tibi & bee you made this holiday special for us thank you for the memories ❤
We have already booked for October 2026

See you all next year

Wonderful!

We stayed for one week in October as a family of 5 with two children and a baby. We arrived late and were made very welcome, water, filled rolls, cakes, fruit etc were supplied to help ourselves to in reception. All the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Very clean, quick at clearing/cleaning tables with very high standards.

Room: we stayed in the bungalows in standard family room, very basic but very clean and fantastic powerful shower. Also had a fridge too. Air co worked well.

Food: fantastic, really good quality and themed nights, lunch bars both great too.
Drink: great choice of drinks in all inclusive, good cocktails/mocktails

Staff: excellent, front of house, housekeeping, entertainment team, all were so friendly and made us feel very welcome

Beach/Pool: not heated in October so slightly chilly but great size and allowed to use inflatables etc. Fantastic being only a couple of steps to the beach.

Entertainment: great, lots of different high quality shows and kids disco that had the adults bopping to💃

Would highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful hotel, great facilities. The entertainment team, Sam, boogie, Bee and Tibi were amazing and great with the kids. Food was good, always a great selection and something for everyone. Cocktails were also great. Overall, lovely stay and would definitely go back.

Hotel is beach based which is very nice , beds on the beach are either blue uncomfortable or the posh grey beds which apparently you can’t reserve but are every day .
Pool area is small with few beds again which are mostly reserved with the blue towel .
Pool bar a snack bar are well stocked but staff aren’t friendly at all , been visiting Greece for yrs and it’s a reason we return just not the same at the hotel , reception staff are lovely really hold up the front off staff .
Food in general is good there’s only one room to eat which was Knick named the canteen , queuing is frequent for the food and it gets very loud when eating , we choose to eat out at local restaurants due to this even though it was all inclusive.

Rooms are nice and clean house keeping is very good even with the different times they clean the room .

In reflection as are 3rd visit to this lovely island it never disappoints sadly the hotel has I’m sure many many will disagree as I’m getting a bit off a obsession with the hotel which i have seen this many times .

There’s better hotels on the island for sure but sadly this one wasn’t for us will be for others and I’m sure they’ll enjoy .

We stayed at the Avra Beach Hotel for a week in October. This is probably the best all inclusive hotel I have stayed in.

The hotel is quite large and very clean. Our room was lovely, we were situated in one of the older rooms which had a double bed and a separate section where my daughter slept in which contained two single beds. A nice sizeable balcony which backed on to the back of the hotel so it was very quiet and hardly any noise at night time. We did find a minor issue with the room and that was there was only three plug sockets in the entire room, so at times it was a bit difficult to charge some of our electricals, but we managed.

The food was exceptional, with it being all inclusive I am always quite sceptical. The hotel runs a snack bar which is available most of the day which provides sandwiches, pastries and toasties, there is also easy access to tea, coffees and soft drinks. Opposite the snack bar is the beach bar, which serves a range of alcoholic drinks such as beer, cocktails and wines throughout the day. All beer and wine is local, which is always a bonus. The Greek/Italian restaurant is open from lunch time to 5/5.30. The food from here was lovely, gyros, burgers, pizzas and pastas etc, my daughter was able to make a pizza one morning before the restaurant opened with other children, I thought this was a really nice touch. There is also a beer and wine taps available where you can pour your own alcoholic drinks.

The main restaurant is busy but food was freshly produced all the time and regularly replenished, each night different foods were put on from the hot buffet, the cold buffet was largely the same, nice desserts too. I am not a vegetarian but they did cater to people who may have any dietary requirements. The hot breakfast is also severed in the main restaurant, again plenty of choice - English & Continental options available.

The hotel also offers a taxi service which is handy if you are planning a day to trip to somewhere like Rhodes Old Town which we did (would highly recommend visiting the old town).

The surrounding area of the hotel is great it's in a good location, lots of bars, restaurants, nice walks etc but all the ammonites are available at the hotel, we just ventured out on a couple of days to try somewhere different, i'd recommend the FBI bar for food and drinks also.

The kids club also came in handy, my daughter spent about an hour/ hour and half in their each day, she absolutely loved it and made lots of holiday friends. There was plenty of toys to play with and the children did activities such as arts & crafts, colouring and painting etc.

I really enjoyed the entertainment, team leader Sam was very friendly and has a lovely & friendly team. The entertainment provided a number of activities at certain times like aqua aerobics in the pool, volleyball, darts, football and table tennis. Me, my wife and daughter loved the dance that the team did on the bridge at 10am and 3pm, my daughter would love to know the name of the song so I could play it on Spotify or Youtube, she's still singing it and doing the dance now. The evening entertainment was also good. Face painting at 8 o clock and then kids disco at half 8. The adult entertainment usually started around 9 o clock, which included bingo, live music, dancers etc.

Finally I would like to say a big thank you to everyone working hard at this hotel, every staff member was really friendly and helpful. From the maids to the hospitality staff. I'd like to mention a couple of staff members by name too. Bar staff Anastassia and Nikos, always friendly and chatty. Tibi in the entertainment team (top man) always working hard and chatting to guests and organising some good football and volleyball matches. And finally the lifeguard who my little 4 year old took a bit of a shine to and loved talking to him, he did a great job of keeping the pool area safe as at times it was a bit slippery around the pool area, but plenty of warning signs were displayed. The entertainment team also offer a holiday t-shirt for 15 euros where you can get your name printed on it, I thought this was a nice touch and we all purchased one.

I do have a couple of honest cons but they are very minor, the beach we didn't use it much sadly with it being very stoney, would have loved a sand beach, obviously this is no fault of the hotels. You could walk on it but would advise footwear and swim shoes for the sea. And lastly the pool was very cold, this may have just been down to the time of year (October), it is very big though and we did use it a couple of times. Mainly kids in it who were obviously braver than us adults.

All in all we loved this hotel and would visit again if we returned to Rhodes in the future.

5 Stars Avra Beach.

Probably the best holiday so far and we have had many. We first visited Avra Beach in 2010 and have returned May and October many times since. We were celebrating our Ruby wedding anniversary in October and knew that we wanted to celebrate with the many friends we have made over the last 15 years. Avra beach were so accommodating, agreeing to organise the brilliant D Spot rock group for a day time performance along with sparkling wine and a beautiful cake. Tables were provided for our party of friends, a stage set up for D Spot to perform and Costas even guaranteed the weather 🌞😉....the day was perfect.

After our first visit, returning was a no brainer, the hotel is spotless they have the greatest cleaning team whom cannot do enough for you. The choice of drinks/cocktails is enormous and the bar staff are the friendliest people you could know. I don't know how but they remember your choice of drink even down to the slice of orange rather lemon.

The all inclusive food choice in the dining room is excellent with many themed nights meaning plates are always full, my favourite is Mexican night. For more relaxed eating visit one of the outside restaurants Greek or Italian,open 12.00 till 5.00 offering pizza, pasta, gyros and many other greek dishes. If you're still hungry then visit the snack bar offering cold and toasted sandwiches, waffles, sweet cakes, ice cream and candy floss.
Self service hot and cold drinks are available from 10.00am.

Daily entertainment was provided by Sam and his team. I especially enjoyed killer darts, with beach volleyball, table tennis, french Boulle, aqua gymn and stretching all available.
Evening entertainment has been brilliant, it is a mix of professional acts D Spot (my fave), violinist and vocalist with in house acts provided by Sam and his team... Leah, Abba, Funky legends and many more.
Thanks guys.

Finally I would like to thank Mr Manos, Costas, Helena, Alina and all the amazing staff for the holiday of a lifetime. We will be back in May.

I hope you all have a great winter break.
