Avra Beach Hotel

Friendly and helpful staff! Nisei is so peaceful, the hotel is yards from the sea. The outlook is tranquil, serene and picturesque. Our room was comfortable and we had a spacious balcony as we were on a corner that had all the late afternoon sun. Breakfast was a bit the same each morning but plenty of it. Clean throughout and linen changed daily, towels changed unless you left them hanging up on the towel rail. I would definitely come to Avra beach hotel again, and I recommend May, as nice and quiet before the season gets busy.

Very friendly

Breakfast was great. Service was great. Location was excellent. Bed was like sleeping on a rock.

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.

If I could break down the star rating even further, I'd give it a 3.5. Overall a pleasant hotel with great staff, all very friendly. Cleaners were amazingly efficient, bar staff really friendly, as was everyone to be honest. Food quality was great, though for those staying longer than 7 days, be prepared to be a little bored with the choice and wanting some more variety. Also a word of caution - the main hotel rooms that we stayed in for the first night (due to our family room not available) was 2* standard at best. I wouldn't be happy if I stayed in it any longer. However the family room (guessing built much later in a separate block) was worthy of the 4* rating and was a pleasure to stay in. I was surprised it didn't have a gym, since I would expect every 4* hotel to have one. However it never said it had one and wouldn't mark it down as a result. Location wise, this is great to get around and there's a car rental place on site which I used and was entirely happy with. Allowed us to explore the island a little more. The hotel has a beach front but beware it's a pebble beach which can be a little painful in entering the sea! Where this hotel loses the biggest marks (and it really shouldn't and is easily rectifiable) is the sunbeds - or should I say the distinct lack of them. The quality what they have isn't great, and they don't have enough. When the hotels full, you're struggling for space. If we weren't down by 9am, we couldn't get a sunbed until around 4 in the afternoon. Its that bad and why I've marked them down. Whilst space is at a premium they did have some space on the beach and a little away from the pool, but no more sunbeds for us to use. Would I go back? No, since I'm sure for the money I could find other places that I wouldn't have to sit on a chair by the bar for most of the day waiting for a free sunbed.
