“Need to make a few improvements to reach 9 or 10 but I find a 7 is pretty Accurate.”
The hotel stayed very clean, including all common areas. If you’re lucky enough to get a spot, there are also six parking spaces in the underground garage, which is a great way to keep your car cool and protected from the heat. The pool was quite large and, despite being shared with two neighboring hotels, it never felt overcrowded during our stay; we always found available sun loungers. The same went for the beach, which is located directly across the road. You just had to ask for a coupon at reception, which could then be exchanged for beach loungers. One thing we especially appreciated was that the rooms were genuinely soundproof; despite being surrounded by other guests, we never heard noise from neighboring rooms, making for a very peaceful and comfortable stay. Breakfast, however, was mediocre, offering the usual Mediterranean basics with average quality and little variation day to day, except for minor changes to sweets and fruit.
Please consider installing mosquito nets on the windows. They’re inexpensive and quick to install, but would make a huge difference. On our first night, we stayed awake until about 2:30 AM trying to eliminate all the mosquitoes in the room. We eventually had to sleep with the air conditioning on, because opening the window simply meant inviting even more mosquitoes inside. A simple mosquito net would solve this problem and let guests enjoy fresh air without turning their room into a mosquito buffet.
In the bathroom, we encountered a truly “marvelous” example of safety‑first engineering: an active electrical outlet was installed directly underneath the water boiler and right next to the shower, with absolutely no curtain or other protection to prevent water from splashing onto it during a shower. Apparently, this is not an isolated issue, as it seems that all the bathrooms in this hotel have been built in the same way. Ironically, just two days after we left the hotel, a show aired on one of Albania’s national TV channels called “Albanian Marvels of Engineering”—sarcastically, of course—highlighting how electrical installations in bathrooms are still being constructed with little to no regard for basic safety standards, even in hotels. Our experience made that satire feel remarkably accurate. The room also lacked a proper wardrobe or closet; what was provided was essentially just a small clothes rack, which was nowhere near sufficient for even one 23 kg piece of luggage. As a result, our luggage had to remain on the floor throughout our stay. Given that the room was already quite small, the suitcase ended up partially blocking the narrow passage leading to the bathroom, which became a constant inconvenience every time we needed to pass through.
