8/10 Very good

Very good value for the money

This hotel has a really good spa with gym, saunas and jacuzzi. Rooms are very modern, soacious and clean but the bed is extrmely hard. The buffet restaurant was more tyan enough for us for the weekend - they have extremely wide range of varieties on table and the selection changes day to day. But the staff was absolutely lost with allergy information and they had my wife eat food with nuts and almonds several times although she kept asking if it was safe ot not. Very poor job on several occasions from the restaurant staff. Otjer than that it was a very nice and relaxing stay!
Tuomas, 3-night trip

No refund when I made duplicate booking

All are good, except no refund when I made duplicate booking by mistake, even I talked to them 1 week before the arriving date. I waste 3 nights
Hui, 5-night trip

We loved our stay. The hotel is very comfortable and the staff is helpful. The pools are amazing (although a bit cold in the low season). The facilities are in great condition. We couldn’t have asked for more from this hotel!

My daughter (15) and I loved this hotel. Our stay was just amazing. We enjoyed our room with a private pool and the awesome pool view. The food was amazing. We liked the buffet. The staff were very nice and the cleaning lady was very kind and caring. It’s a nice hotel for families too. We will be back. Thank you for being a part of our wonderful vacation.

Luis, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Jade, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Nathalia, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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. :-)
VASILIKI, 9-night trip

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!
Ganna, 12-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would recommend

Was such a beautiful hotel, food was amazing out of this world so much choice. Staff all so friendly. Would recommend. Sun beds and chairs around pool was not very comfortable after a while.
5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The resort was great for the excellent selection of restaurants, food, pools, cleanliness/spotless. Great if one wishes to relax/lounge for several days and enjoy amazing food. On the other hand reception staff seemed a bit defensive and evasive with encountered issues. One particularly annoying thing was 2 treadmills for the hundreds of people at the facility. Having to wait for the right moment for exercise equipment, to work off all that overeating was disappointing. The property is not beachfront, and the beach was painfully rocky. Good stay nonetheless.
Ernst, 7-night trip

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.
Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is beautiful, clean and located close to Chania, Samaria gorge and Balos beach. Rooms are spotless, pool area and pool itself great. Food was very good and plenty of choice, the only thing I would add in restaurant was the description of the dishes i.e if it's suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Beach was pleasant but the area leading to the beach needs working on maybe plant trees, plants etc. so it looks more appealing. All in all my stay was very pleasant.
Kinga, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We traveled through Crete and stayed at a double bed luxury room with pool view. It was in de building across the street so not in the main building but it was much better over there. Perfectly for couple without kids. Our restaurant was much smaller and less crowded with extra chosen meals from 5 star chef Babi. At this point we wanne thank Nikos, Argiro, Manolis, Giannis and Elaine for your services. At the entrance is a baby kitty and lots of good places to enjoy. To mention the beach is full of Stones maybe you could build a little path with sand sacks or something similar and the cleaners could be a bit precariously. Nevertheless it was a great hotel and so beautiful as well. Thank you for the stuff members who made it more nicer there for us. Greetings Ari and Zoi
Zohra, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Avra Imperial is the perfect holiday hotel for families with great restaurants, great spa and gym, many pools to choose from, friendly staff, and big comfortable bedrooms. Direct access to the beach. Easy organisation of trips - we organised a private boat trip to Balos beach and Gramvousa Island, absolutely incredible. Close to Chania and Platanias. Best restaurant is the Beachside but book a week in advance. No good restaurants outside the hotel. Loved every moment there.

Nothing unique, just a regular hotel property. Unfortunately the food isn’t really Greek style and could be better. We decided to eat outside. Also the noise of the kids can be a bit annoying. But it’s not an adult only hotel, therefore you have to try to be seated at least outside. Staff has always been nice and try to accommodate our requests. The a la card restaurants you have to make an online reservation and on the day you get confirmation for almost an hour later - sorry, that’s not how it should work. We canceled!

8/10 Very good

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

8/10 Very good

It’s ok. But too many kids and babies, so we never went to the pool. The food was ok for an all inclusive. The beach is not nice. It’s gravel/stones. There is no evening and day activities.

Wonderful Avra week

The resort is a real gem. I would really like to come back there again. Our family room was right on spot with cleaning, design, comfort, amenities. The hotel is very quiet and though is in full capacity, sometimes feels like you are in a secluded retreat. The food is abound, wigh various variants that will fit anyone, including the young ones. The pools and surrounding areas were really joyful for our entire family, the small ones barely left the area, the beach is also great, and will provide you postcard photos and memories. The spa, although not used it's facilities looks impressive and inviting. And we really couldn't find any cons, not that we want to after a great experience.
