Fantastic all inclusive stay with family

Avra was a stunning large hotel offering multiple large pools with a smaller pool near the beachside, multitude of restaurants with some needing pre-reservation but easy to do throught the link they send you, covering asian, italian and pool side snacks as well as main buffets. The all inclusive option is fantastic and large variety of drinks all available within this. They catered amazingly for my 8 month old son especially for food, Jessie at the concierege helped us greatly in putting together meals to send to the chef and be prepared for him. Overall a few less vegetarian options (as mains) for adults but they did make efforts to do the other dishes without the meat. Staff were all very polite and courteous and hotel was large and very clean and maintined well. Spa area also large with indoor pool, sauna, steam lovely massage therapies also Beach very close by but more pebbles than sand Provided us with many baby amenities

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Our stay overall was good, the food was great, facilities etc were good; and staff were extremely helpful. Some things however were not great, hence the four stars: - Upon arrival to the room, although cleaned, the sheets had stains on them, room not entirely cleaned as dust and cob webs on furniture, also there were tiny lizards and other insects roaming around. - There were cats wondering around in the food areas and restaurants, which wasn’t pleasant as not everyone is a cat lover, the staff didn’t respond to this very well, at some times there was also a dog wondering around. - It wasn’t very friendly for children, lacking facilities. - Our all inclusive package was self service only in the breakfast and lunch main buffet halls, where you can choose what to eat, but simple things like a soft drinks machine and tea/coffee and beer etc was all waiter service, it would’ve been good to be able to just get these yourselves. They did have a water and juice machine. The snack bars were only all waiter service and nothing to just grab yourself; and although fairly timely, it’s still not very convenient when you cannot just help yourself and have to wait for food and drink. Not a major issue, but good to mention. - The venue said they have variety of gluten free options however in reality these were not great nor enjoyable. They had one type of GF bread which was not nice at all. If the above were addressed, then we would be really happy to visit here again.

No sun on our patio

We booked a room with private pool. Although the pool was mostly in the sun, sadly the patio, apart from about 2ft of it, remained completely in the shade which was a shame as no possibility of sun bathing

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.
