Avra Imperial Hotel

Me and my girlfriend went to Avra Imperial during COVID-19. They take all the safety measurements and make it comfortable for the guests. The hotel is very beautiful and the service is great!! Especially from Ioannis and Nola - Both more worth than five stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything was excellent here - we were a bit dubious of staying in a big hotel during these uncertain times however everything was clean and tidy, despite being so large. All the staff were so friendly and kept to the social distancing measures well. We haven't eaten in very much as we love traditional Greek food and wanted to explore alternative restaurants, but when we did eat here, the food was excellent for such a large hotel! Great restaurants also in the area. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends back home!

Took advise from travel agent on this one. Wanted close to chania but far enough away from crowds during covid. This was perfect. Kolymvari is very small fishing village that looks like will be developed now into next 10-15 years due to marina and breakwaters around fishing area. Lovely views to chania and sun rises. Hotel is modern inviting spacious and exceptionally clean. Sits out a mile in village. Main Pools are amazing and water cleanliness best ever. Suites and pools are same. Only slight criticism is suites have no views. Some lesser grade rooms have better outlook so ask before you book. Breakfast good table service will new procedures in place is a lot slower so be patient. Chief determined to make everything perfect and attention to cleanliness and social distancing is visible everywhere. Bar food for lunch great and bar man excellent and professional. . A little concern over lack of regular pool service for drinks. You needed to get up and find a waiter as particular two girls on service seemed not to walk around at all and sit in front of bar chatting most of day. Only when managers came in would they move around ? Very noticeable for guests waiting for a drink service. Didn’t eat there at night as buffet service doesn’t work during covid welll also Italian outside restaurant empty most nights but smelled amazing. When busier will have potential for better atmosphere. Location is 15 km to chania. Taxi 35 euro. Safe and clean no problems. Busy city but beautiful get out at old town facing lighthouse around harbour and walk sea walk. Hire a car. Defo. Village is pretty with mega potential to develop more charm and walk sitting areas but needs a lot of variety in shops and bars over time and especially a long seaside walk area towards marina to take a stroll. One thing missing from this area. Assume funding not there to complete development as in a lot of Greece. Local restaurants are fish focused and local cuisine. Mylos was great for drinks and desserts and Palio we found best for food and service. Sea front area beautiful on cobbled beach but needs toilet and bar area completed as it again reflects a started and not completed project. Pool loungers are 3 star and need changed. Covers have been removed due to covid. Pool area at Italian restaurant could use a high deck to take advantage for sea views. Again surprised me seaside location to marina but no views anywhere. Will maybe change when marina is up and running. Bar beautiful but lacked people mostly due to situation. Entertainment low key Pianist was great and fun again with a. Crowd would be excellent night. Staff superb here too. Very friendly and efficient. Local shop excellent with girl extremely pleasant and welcoming. Great prices for essentials and not hotel expensive. Function building separate with attached bridge. Would be super restaurant bar location for guests if open. Staff at reception and door excellent and work hard. Nothing a problem. Managers doing regular walk arounds and seem very conscientious and capable. When more guests come over time the holiday buzz atmosphere will improve. A great hotel. Bravo 👏 and Thankyou. We will be back again.
