Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfy rooms with a good view, but there were some issues with smoke smell and soundproofing. The upper pool incurs an extra charge per person. The staff was polite but lacked organization, especially in the restaurants. The location is convenient, not too crowded but close enough to the city. The dining experience was average, except for the coffee. Overall, it could have been better in terms of service and room amenities.
The hotel offers beautiful and really comfortable rooms with excellent sea views, but the service can sometimes be lacking. The location is convenient, with some room for improvement, and the dining options are varied but can be overcrowded. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
The room we got was comfortable but smaller than expected and lacked a balcony. The hotel territory wasn't as depicted in the pictures during booking. The service, except for the manager, was friendly and understanding, especially the night manager. The location was clean and equipped with sunbeds but a bit small for the number of guests. The dining experience was nice overall, but some days they ran out of items like glasses and juice.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were not only beautiful but also really comfortable, offering a big, cozy bed and a fascinating sea view. The service was professional and very child-friendly. The location was nice, although access paths were a bit long. The dining options were varied, catering to different tastes. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is definitely not what I expected. Although the service from the cleaning ladies, waiters, bar tenders, and spa staff was exceptional, the overall experience was marred by the dreary and dark rooms that felt like prison cells. The location, while not as central as I hoped, did offer convenient access to nearby stores and restaurants. The dining options, although consistent, left much to be desired in terms of variety.
The hotel room was smaller than expected and lacked a balcony with a good view, although it was clean and of a good size. The service was a mix of terrible language skills but polite and attentive behavior. The location was very nice, close to Saranda's center, although the reception mishandled payments initially. The dining options were poor with limited choices some days but very good overall. The facilities were average.
