AI Summary
The hotel provides a wide range of facilities, delicious breakfast, convenient location, and exceptional staff service. However, some guests found the rooms to be on the smaller side.

我們住了7天的帶泳池的豪華套房。房間有些破舊,感覺很老了,跟網上照片不一樣。衞生也一般,可能是因為房間舊了。比如廁所浴盆及周邊瓷磚縫隙裏面有黴,地板開裂了感覺總是臟兮兮的。沙發白色的但是很臟,有褪色也有臟臟的印記。房間隔音也差,樓上説話在廁所裏都聽的見。另外酒店雖然説是全包式,但是對瓶裝水和三餐時間控制的很嚴。瓶裝水每人每次衹能拿一瓶,還不會配送,必須自己去吧枱拿。三餐稍微要到點了,就會被催趕,並且服務員態度也會變得很惡劣。我們有一個小寶寶通行,預訂時備註要求了準備嬰兒床,並且在酒店whatsapp上也提醒了,但是到了房間裏還是沒有床,晚上入住後等了一個多小時才來加床,影響了寶寶的睡覺時間。總之我們對酒店的體驗一般,設施衞生和服務都不值得。

Overall good but a few niggles, we choose half board as it was just me and the Mrs, and wanted to eat out sometimes. HOTEL & ROOMS: really nice, spacious modern rooms, clean. FOOD AND SERVICE: slightly disappointing, as booked half board we were advised we could swap the evening meal for lunch if we wanted, and pay for the other meal if we decided to eat in the evening, i assumed with half board food and drink would be covered, sadly drinks were charged extra. the cost of the 3rd meal would be 30 euros pp, making most meals around 70 to 90 Euros for food and maybe 2 drinks that just didn't meet the standards of the price. Most evenings it was the same food, relatively luke warm or cold, BAR DRINKS, 1 COCKTAIL AND A COKE ZERO 22 EUROS (SHOCKING) Half decent gym, good spa facilities,

Our stay fell far short of 5-star standards. Check-in & Service: Arriving late with a child, we weren’t offered anything to eat despite having missed dinner, and reception gave no information about the hotel. Communication between staff was poor, and requests were often ignored. Room: The room was dated and poorly furnished, unlike the photos online. Facilities were basic (no coffee machine, just an old plastic kettle that gave off a burnt smell and left residue in the drinks), no daily bottled water, and very limited bathroom amenities. Housekeeping was inconsistent and not up to the level expected of a luxury hotel. Staff: Service felt unfriendly and unwelcoming throughout our 9-night stay, with little effort to make guests feel comfortable. No poolside service—everything required queuing at the bar. Food: Half-board only allows access to the buffet restaurant, while other dining options come at an extra cost despite high room rates. Overall: The hotel did not meet 5-star expectations in service, comfort, cleanliness, or dining.

An amazing time spent at Avra Imperial. The hotel is immense, great pool area, with a good selection of restaurants. Children friendly hotel but there wasn’t an overwhelming amount during the duration. Half Board - perfect, both breakfast and dinner had great options for all, and never too busy. The adult-only pool/breakfast restaurant also a plus, which was very quiet! Very flexible with changing one meal for lunch etc too. Would probably recommend going all inclusive however, as the value for money is probably worth it. Paying 10/11€ for cocktails by the pool can rack up by the end of the week! Room and balcony was very spacious, with a great view of the main pool. Bathroom could do with a bit of an upgrade (shower mainly), to adhere with the 5 stars, however no faults otherwise. Cleaned every day by the friendly housekeeping team.

Just got back from an amazing family holiday. Ignore the negative reviews as we thought the hotel was brilliant. We had a deluxe suite with a private pool, and it was great. The hotel was kept very clean and the staff were friendly. Food was good and the main pool was great. All in all a great holiday.

Struttura veramente bella, architettura moderna e ottima manutenzione, ad una mezz’ora dall’aeroporto di Chania. Personale sempre molto gentile e disponibile. Elli della reception, ci ha accolti, offerto da bere e ci ha spiegato un po’ tutto. La nostra stanza, con piscina privata condivisa, era veramente bella e spaziosa. Ci sono diversi ristoranti “a tema”. Quello Italiano, Giapponese ed Egeo sulla spiaggia. C’è poi il Buffet ed un ristorante/bar della piscina. Anna, responsabile del Giapponese (e tutto lo staff) è stata sempre gentilissima e pronta a soddisfare le nostre richieste. Qualità del cibo, ottima. Al ristorante Italiano, Panagiotis ci ha sempre regalato un sorriso ed anche lui sempre disponibile. Al ristorante/bar della piscina lavorano Gergios e Stavros (tra i tanti) che sono sempre pronti ad esaudire ogni richiesta, sempre con un sorriso. Anche al Buffet le hostes accolgono gli ospiti con un sorriso e gentilezza e li accompagnano al tavolo. Anche qui la qualità è veramente ottima, per non parlare della quantità e varietà del cibo offerto. Abbiamo utilizzato i servizi della SPA, dove Konstantina è la sua collega ci hanno deliziati con i loro massaggi. L’unica nota non all’altezza è il mare/spiaggia, ma non è colpa della struttura. È la location dove si trova che non è il massimo, però le piscine del resort sopperiscono alla grande. Se venite a Creta è il posto migliore per soggiornare sul lato ovest e visitare le splendide spiagge tipo Balos o Elafonisi.

The best all-inclusive hotel we have ever stayed in, by far. Ignore any negative reviews-we couldn’t fault the hotel at all and we are fussy. The photos on the Tui website don’t do it justice. The hotel is architecturally stunning-incredibly well thought out in design. The rooms were a generous size, cleaned very well. The food was outstanding-incredible chefs and great serving staff. We stayed in the Residence Collection’ part of the resort for guests aged 13 and over. A slightly higher standard of sunbed and quieter pool. My only criticism was that the pools are a little colder than I would like. However, the rest of my family didn’t mind. The spa is an added perk-we went most days. No cost. There is a lovely, small but authentic town 10 minutes away. I would recommend this hotel, we had a fabulous time.

Très loin de rêve 5 étoiles promis… Le premier gros point négatif est le bruit, nous avions pris une chambre prenium double avec piscine privé. On entend absolument tout ce que font les voisins… discussions, bruit de douches, toilette et je passe les détails. Également beaucoup de bruit la nuit et le matin par le personnel de l’hôtel, les femmes de ménages qui tentent tous les matins d’ouvrir votre chambre fermée avec l’étiquette « ne pas dérangé ». En deuxième la nourriture n’est pas bonne du tout, je n’attend pas un 5 étoiles pour le buffet mais la plupart des produits étaient pas cuit et pas tenue au chaud. Nous avons pas pris le formule all inclusive donc nous avons dû payer l’eau que l’on prenait à chaque repas au buffet jusqu’à qu’on se rende compte qu’il y a une fontaine à eau en libre service gratuitement… faire payer l’eau qui est gratuite 20 mètres plus loin… Nous avons donc réservé le restaurant Italien un soir ( réserver a l’avance si vous voulez avoir une place). Tenues correctes exigés on s’attendait à un meilleur repas… malheureusement même constat pas cuit presque froid très peu généreux dans le quantité comme la qualité. D’un autre côté le restaurant n’est pas si cher mais on aurait préféré payer plus cher et manger mieux. Le dernier gros point est la saleté, les piscine sont sales et nous avons pas vu une seule perosnne la nettoyer de la semaine, même constat pour la piscine privé dans notre chambre. Le spa également est sale en plus d’être un bassin gelé ( ongle et poils dans le jacuzzi présent 2 jours de suites…) Les chambres sont mal nettoyés et plutôt mal entretenue à notre arrivé. Les couvert verres et assiettes de chaque restaurant également ne sont pas toujours propres. Éviter également les toilettes principale de l’hôtel… Pour le prix dépensé pour 7 jours c’est une honte absolue je déconseille fortement l’hôtel. La ville est petite mais sympathique et charmante, les restaurants sont pas très chers et meilleurs que ceux de l’hôtel. Le gros point positif c’est les bus en direction des différentes villes au alentours très simple et rapide.
