Rhodes - all beaches

The cost of a cozy bed by the seaside varies with the distance from the shore, and while the drinks may be slightly pricier, they're not outrageously so. The attentive waitstaff were a breath of fresh air, as they didn't constantly pester you during your stay. The location is absolutely stunning and the accommodations are luxuriously comfortable, with the added bonus of towels being included in the price. The food was delicious and the service was lightning-fast. Overall, a truly wonderful beach experience.

This beach is a remarkable destination where you can witness the crashing of waves against the rocks and feel the refreshing breeze. The presence of vendors is minimal, allowing for a peaceful and uninterrupted experience. For a reasonable cost of 10 euros, you can rent two sunbeds and an umbrella to bask in the sun. The sunset view is particularly breathtaking, making it an ideal spot for an evening visit.

The beach is quite lengthy and is covered with smooth pebbles. The waters are not too deep, only reaching a depth of about 20-30 meters. The beach is quite breezy, but the waters are crystal clear. There are a few places for children to play and many bars where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas.

We made a reservation here for a week on a half board basis. We enjoy Greek cuisine and exploring different restaurants. However, during check-in, the receptionist seemed a bit hesitant about the half board option. Just because the hotel is a 5-star establishment, it doesn't automatically mean all-inclusive is the only choice. In Greece, it is safe to freely roam around, and who wouldn't want to discover the charming town of Rhodes?! The service at the pool bar was absolutely terrible, completely opposite to the service at the rooftop pool. Upstairs, the staff would walk around and take orders. They even helped with the parasols without being asked. On the other hand, downstairs, it was a completely different story. The guys working there were friendly but extremely laid back. Two families were staying at the hotel with their sons and daughters. The guys were getting drunk from early mornings every day, smoking in the indoor jacuzzi, and even smoking weed by the pool restrooms. I couldn't understand them, but their body language could be quite intimidating at times, to the point where I didn't want to use the facilities where they were. Dealing with them every day was quite unpleasant, but unfortunately, you can't choose your fellow guests! The pool bar staff allowed them to do whatever they pleased. These are the reasons why I gave a 3-star rating for the services. The hotel is in a fantastic location, only a 10-minute walk from town. We really liked the underpass that provided direct access to the beach. The room was spacious and well-equipped. The cleaning staff and restaurant employees were always polite, friendly, and helpful. We each enjoyed a spa treatment package, and it was absolutely amazing. If you arrange your own taxi, it will be around 3-4 Euros cheaper compared to having the hotel call one for you. When they call a taxi, they provide you with a paper containing a reference number, which you need to give to the taxi driver. The pool towels are distributed by the Spa. The entrance to the spa is through a lift located outside, behind the Elite Suite's lobby.

We had a wonderful experience at Avra Beach. The service provided was exceptional and the staff were outstanding. The facilities are of high quality, although not quite reaching excellence. The food options available are impressive, catering to a variety of tastes. The restaurants and snack bar are also well-designed. The entertainment team is fantastic, offering something for everyone, and the evening shows are of good quality. The pool area is beautifully maintained, and although the beach has a combination of sand and pebbles, once you step into the water, it becomes sandy. Additionally, the views across the strait to Turkey are absolutely breathtaking.

We chose to dine at this place with a group of six, which included two children. The staff appeared to have no interest in attending to us whatsoever. We had to wait for every little thing, from receiving our menus to getting our food and ultimately getting our bill so we could depart. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, and there were four or five servers on duty, yet everything was carried out at a sluggish pace and without any semblance of organization.
