I had a wonderful time at the hotel! I loved the spa, the pool and had the best night sleeps! It is a shame that the main restaurant does not serve a real espresso from ground coffee beans as it would have been nice to enjoy a good cup of coffee with the wonderful breakfast, but despite this, I will happily return to the hotel

Amazing stay

The whole experience was amazing. The hotel is beautiful, the staff is friendly and efficient, the bedroom is spacious and comfortable. The swimming pool is so good, with a bar service inside so you can have drinks by the pool. The buffet has a lot of options, for all tastes, and it is delicious. We really enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back.

If you want a perfect holiday search no more

Absolutely divine holiday; the hotel is very well thought through - you have all amenities in the room, by the pool or even by the seaside. Five restaurants, each one with a view, good food selection, huge swimming pool, excellent design; private beach and seaside restaurant deserve a separate thank you ! Sunset dinner in the Avra seaside is a must!

Ideal property for families with children. The luxury all-inclusive package we booked was also great. A special call-out for the staff in the pool-bar where we spent a lot of our time. They were pleasant, warm, offering great level of service. They made our stay special. :-)

Couples vacation

Amazing week at Avra with my boyfriend. We had a room with a semi-private pool, great view and a lovely patio. Breakfast buffet was great - so much to choose from. Big, clean and nice pools. The restaurants were good - especially the Italian one. Amazing pizzas! Staff was super friendly and helpfull. We loved our stay!

Quiet, relaxing resort

We spent a few days in one of the larger suites. It was modern, quiet, comfy. The food was good - not the best we have had but above average. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We'd definitely consider it again for quiet/relaxation time. They probably could pay a little extra attention to cleanliness especially around dining areas.

Lovely honeymoon

The stay at Avra Imperial really was the highlight of our honeymoon that we will always remember warmly. The quiet location on the beach was great for resting, the restaurant on the beach really good and service everywhere super friendly. We also came at night to see the full moon over the beach. We also really enjoyed having cocktails in the pool bar and dining in the asian restaurant, tasty food in a beautiful setting. Maybe we go again for an anniversary in the future.
