We have just returned from this hotel on the whole it was very enjoyable the staff were very friendly the rooms were a little cramped in that around the bed you could not open the wardrobe fully also the very welcome fridge the air conditioning was very effient. We paid a few Euros for a safe key which is advised.
The restaurant is slightly to small the tables wew close but the staff was very effient even in the busy periods always could find you a table and clear you used plates etc very quickley. The food vas very good again the staff replaced empty tins of food even the most fussy eaters could find somthing that was accptale. the hot food was always hot. The drink dispensters were always in use The coffee machine somtimes broke down which lead to queues grew quickly. the only food I found uneatable were carrots were very hard.
The entertaiment was run by an amimation team mainly aimed at the children but there where outside groups which varied some better than others. our favorite was the Greek dancing team. We have had better entertainment also far worse at other hotels it was exceptable.
The pool was busy a lot of air beds and ball playing etc but I manage to swim ok The beach was very stoney for a few feet then it was sandy very nice but as we had off shore wind it was choppy.
Overall it was a plesent week and on the whole we enjoed it good hotel for all types of holiday people. We liked the idea that staff went around to remove towels from sunbeds at around 8 am

Stayed in this hotel in Setptember 05, we are a party of five adults and one infant (3yrs)
we are regular visitors to the greek islands and have stayed in Rhodes once before. The Avra Beach is a well run hotel deserving its four star rating, we had a scary moment when we were informed we would have to leave the hotel four days before our flights home, due to our travel company making a booking error, the manager who is a true professional and who cares deeply about his customers did everything to make things right, in the end we stayed in the Avra until it was time to go home. The staff are very friendly work long hours but always have a smile on thier face, the maitre'de is at first quite frosty but a true professional you will need to cover up before going for meals or you will be asked to go and change, he is a very decent man and very good at his job, the food is of a very good standard plenty of choice. The rooms we stayed in are huge three of us in a large bungalow. The Avra Beach is in a great spot right on the beach and near to Rhodes town, there are lots of bars near to the hotel if you want to explore. The Avra Beach is a fantastic hotel I would reccomend it to any one wanting a perfect two week break in the sun.

we stayed at this hotel in sept 2005 for 7 nights it is the best hotel i have ever stayed in, the people are friendly, the hotel is very clean, the food is great and plenty of it. Its right on the beach and the pool is great with a little pool for children. I would stay here again at a shot in fact i am booking it again for 2007, i have been a travel agent for 11 years and this is the best holiday i have ever been on.

We arrived really late in the night, and the receptionist was really helpfull and friendly. We enjoyed the beautiful entrance, en were really happy with the room.
The food was nice, the waiters were friendly, the animation was perfect.
The hotel was perfectly situated at the sea, and it every place in the hotel was a place to relax fine, drink something, eat something, enjoy the sea, enjoy the swimming-pool. You had a view, you could enjoy every hour a day.
If you wanted to go anywhere, you could order a cap for 1 € per kilometer, very, VERY cheap....
I will go there again next week because it was so nice the last time. If every hotel was the same as Avra Beach, it was hard to take a decision to stay.......
