We visited the Avali in September as a couple.
Honestly, it's the best hotel we've stayed at in many years.
From check-in to dining and relaxing, this hotel offers a truly oasis-like experience.
The grounds and poolside are very relaxing, with comfortable sunbeds and attentive staff. Don't be fooled by the pool size in the photos; it is perfectly adequate, and we often swam without bumping into anyone. The sun lounger availability was excellent; we always managed to find one, even at midday. You could also order drinks or bar snacks to your sun lounger by scanning the QR code (which was a great touch!).
The food options are excellent. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the choices are fantastic. I was especially impressed by the selection of desserts! My waistline has definitely suffered for it. The staff are very attentive during meal times. Special thanks to April, Minas, and Theodora for making our stay so welcoming.
We also dined at Stia (their à la Carte experience), which was excellent.
The rooms are cosy, modern, and equipped with all the amenities you need. We appreciated the free water bottles, which could be refilled in the corridor. The addition of Netflix on the TV was also a nice bonus (you have to sign into your own account).
The hotel offers a variety of activities, including live music, kayak rentals (complimentary) from the beach, and excursions like boat trips (extra charge).
Overall, this hotel has everything and adds that bit of luxury!
