Beautiful hotel with a breathtaking view. My room was upgraded by the staff as I was there on a birthday trip. They gave me a room with a direct sea view which included a pool view too and the private beach. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I just wish the breakfast had a bit more variety to choose from, it’s quite basic compared to usual hotel breakfasts’ but overall it was spectacular and second to none! I loved every single moment and I will 10000% be back InShaaAllah 😍🙌

Nice quiet property with beach very close with ample sun beds and beach bar. Breakfast was good - no other food served at the hotel so a quick walk up the very steep path to pizzerias and restaurants was called for in the evenings. Great view out to sea from our balcony to watch the sunsets

It was exceptionally clean and sanitized. The breakfast was always fresh, plentiful options including eggs, sausage, waffles, pastries, fruit, yogurt, and beverages. The lobby was spacious, flooded with natural light, with an open view to an infinity pool and the ocean. The beach was on the property and included free sunbeds, lounge chairs and umbrellas for hotel guests free of charge. Several great restaurants within walking distance. The staff was kind, attentive, and had recommendations for every question asked. Great focus on customer service and cleanliness. We wouldost definitely stay there again!!

This is a really nice hotel. Clean rooms, beautiful view, lovely good sized pool. Good breakfast included too. It’s just nicely away from the main saranda drag, so you would benefit from having a car to make life easier. No food served except breakfast, but there are plenty of places close by that do a nice meal. My only warning. Don’t eat in your room!! We had a packet of crisps and there were ants within an hour. They left once we cleaned it all off though. This seems typical to the area. We had a lovely time and would definitely visit again.

The hotel feels quite new. Seemed like a family run setup. Didn’t see any new faces at the front desk or the bar/kitchen etc. like most of Sarandë, this hotel too looks quite new. The room was comfortable. Parking was convenient. The location is excellent. Right on the beach. The staff was very courteous. The lady at the front desk was kind enough to not charge us for our 5year. For some reason, the reservation didn’t pick up that we were 3 even though the room we booked was a triple sleeper. Some teething bits which can easily be resolved include arranging an iron and a board even if not in every room but maintained centrally. The breakfast was ok. Could be made better with just a few tweaks. We tried to use the swimming pool but the water was quite cold. Wished we could have used it more.

It was the best hotel we stayed in Albania. We were doing a road trip throughout the country so we stayed in a different hotel every night. This one was by far the best we had. The room was big and spacious, the toilet was big and the shower was wonderful. The food is okay but there is various dinner options nearby. There is an underground garage and an outdoor parking “isolated” which is safe. The breakfast is very good and diverse. There is a private beach which is very good and the pool is wonderful. The staff is very pleasant and friendly. Definitely recommend it

We were worried at first because the hotel is quite far from the bay and staff said a taxi is 15 euros; however, it is a nice walk with lots of shops and restaurants along the way and it didn't take more than a half hour. We got a private taxi back for 10 euros. Hotel is brand new, pool is lovely. Breakfast was excellent. Nice staff. Thank you!

Wonderful staff and property! Very clean and well looked after, quiet area at the end of Saranda and is located right in between the town centre and Ksamil. Rooms were tidied very well ( I always inspect for that), we had an issue with a hair dryer but reception gave us an alternative one promptly.

Staff and management rude when confronted about over charging at the bar because we are British! Got ripped off on every drink as they charged double the prices printed on the menu and then refused to rectify it when we realised. Extremely unprofessional. Its a shame they feel the need to rip people off.

It's a bit in the middle of nowhere. You're better off staying in town where everything is because you'll spend a lot of money getting back and forth if you don't have a car. They only serve food during peak season which we were not told during the booking or we wouldn't of stayed there. There is a camp site right next door with campers which is a bit of an eye sore and might be unsafe. Little to no security at night.
