    Compared to every other place I stayed in Albania, I could really see the attention to details in cleaning and in the room. And the view on the coast is amazing! Literally the fastest way to become an instagram influencer

    Could be a bit more clean, some stains on the sheets, old furnitures, and the aircondition was not the best.

    Great pool, nice outdoor area, sweet staff, good restaurants nearby.

    Excellent hotel up on the hill with great views out across the sea. Rooms comfortable and clean. Lovely swimming pool with sun loungers with drinks available from the bar inside the hotel. Family run hotel and staff are very friendly and helpful.

    - uncomfortable pillows - no black out curtains, sun seeping through - walls are not soundproof at all, too much noise - road is not a negative point but take it into consideration, uphill but doable

    - amazing view, you'll never get tired of it - pool is ++ - breakfast is basic but good (eggs, sausage, cheese, cereal, yogurt, watermelon and melon) - cozy ambiance - staff is welcoming

    Breakfast vas small and it was full of wasps. You need car to stay here, or taxi, hill up to hotel is very steep.

    Nice pool area. Nice rooms. Varm pool, about 32-33 degrees. Cold fresh water showers.

    The breakfast was below average, you could see that they put very little effort in it. Me and my partner said the same thing. Even the cucumbers and tomatoes were not fresh. Nothing was freshly cut that day, you could taste it. Everything was laid out. Eggs were just boiled (cause it’s easier and less effort, stays good for a longer time) First they told us coffee was not included in the breakfast, but I needed my coffee so I had maybe 3 or 4 coffees over the course of our 4 day stay. Then at the check-out they tell us they won’t charge us for it…? Then why do you tell people it’s not included? Everyone was friendly though. I just noticed there was minimal effort going into the breakfast. My fiancée even had cornflakes that were not fresh, I mean, that’s saying a lot…

    The only reason I’m giving a 9 is because the location, the view and that pool are amazing!! The rooms were also neat and clean, the bed was comfortable. Nothing to say about that but…

    The breakfast could be a litte bit better (Albania has lot of good typical, local food).

    Like two years ago, we felt very comfortable again this time. The owners are very nice and the resort is beautiful. When we are back in Albania, we will come again to the great hotel with the incredibly beautiful view to the sea.

    The beds needs to be changed: pillows are too hard and spring beds are not comfortable. Bathroom window was broken (could not really close it). It's a pity because the outdoor parts are amazing, and the staff is kind.

    The view is amazing, from our room, the roof and the swimming pool. The pool is big and is a calm area when kids aren't there. The outdoor parts are very pretty and dining area is nice. We enjoyed our own balcony. Breakfast was okay.

    Single downside, pool was green when we arrived, a couple of days later developed a huge algae bloom, got even greener and opaque, this was sorted promptly, however I feel the pool should not have been left untreated to deteriorate to this extent. Very steep walk up from the shore to the hotel, not for the faint hearted!

    Very friendly staff, excellent spoken English, nothing was too much trouble. Super views and pool area. Good food, service exceptional.

    Nothing. In a few years this will be one of the top hotels in the area- a true gem!

    Stunning location (the photos dont do the place justice!) with the most wonderful family-run hotel. Nothing was ever too much to ask, the food at the hotel was reasonably priced and delicious. Cant recommend enough! Helped us organise a last minute boat trip too

    Obviously the beautiful views come at a cost so there's a steep hill and steps to climb if you go down to the beach or restaurants! I didnt mind this too much but it wouldn't be great for those with mobility problems. Quite a lot of children in the pool - again if you were travelling as a family you might not mind this but it might annoy others! Had an ice cream from the freezer one day which seemed very expensive when we paid the bill.

    Amazing views and a very pretty hotel. The pool was lovely and very warm. Comfortable sunlougers. Staff were friendly. We only ate a couple of snacks from the menu but they were tasty and reasonably priced.
