Far below 5-star standards – very disappointing stay. Check-in was unhelpful: arriving late with a child, nothing was offered to eat and no information given about the hotel. Staff communication was chaotic, with requests ignored and no one taking responsibility. The room was dated, cheaply furnished, and nothing like the online photos. Facilities were poor (an old kettle that gave off a burnt smell and left residue in drinks, no daily bottled water, and only the bare minimum of toiletries). Housekeeping was inconsistent and not thorough. Service was unfriendly and unwelcoming throughout our 9-night stay. Staff rarely greeted us, there was no poolside service, and overall we felt more like a burden than valued guests. Food was another disappointment: half-board guests are limited to the buffet, while other restaurants come at extra cost despite very high rates. Overall: this hotel fails on service, comfort, cleanliness, and dining. Absolutely not what you expect from a 5-star property.

We have stayed with the family at Avra Imperial in May/June. It's a brand new facility: very nice building. Super clean: both communal areas and rooms were immaculate. Big swimming pools. The main pool with a bar at the center. Overall good service: excellent concierge advices and also the luggage handlers were super helpful. Front Desk could improve the sense of urgency. The are 3 restaurants: 1 Mediterranean 1 Italian and 1 Asian a la carte plus normal buffet for full board. Full boards are allowed to free 3 meals per week a la carte. Overall food was good with a combo of traditional and continental. However lunch seemed much lighter Good spa facilities as well: kids are allowed in the internal pool 10 to 12. We didn't like the sea side: Kolimbari doesn't offer the best beach in Crete. However inside the Hotel you can rent cars from a super nice gentleman and drive to different beaches. We drove to Elafonisi, Falassarna, Platnias and Agia Marina with Falassarna being the best at 35 min drive.

Wonderful staff and hotel. The pool is one of the greatest for families. The beach isn't really for kids and lacks enough sun chairs for everyone. The location is very bad if you come for shipping and dining in different restaurants but perfect for relaxing and sunbathing. The spa is a wonderful addition to the overall experience.

We loved our stay here. Food was good, the buffet changed everyday and there was something for everyone. The breakfast buffet was one if the best I've ever had with a lot of choices also vegan and vegetarian options! During our stay we could go to the 3 a la carte restaurants for diner which was a treat as well! The gym was very spacious and everything you'd want was there! The spa was lovely. Check it out and get a massage or a pedicure! We will come back here !

What a beautiful hotel… the staff are friendly, a special mention to Manolos who greeted us some warm and welcoming, food really good, pools stunning, cleanliness very good! we spent a week here in August and the only small critique I would have is it’s a little quiet in the evenings a bit more entertainment would be good but apart from that I cannot see how you can review this hotel bad, it’s simply stunning & we would definitely come back!
