Новый, чистый отель на берегу моря New, clean hotel on the beach

Bought a last minute tour to Albania in this hotel. There were very few reviews on the network, but they trusted their intuition and the information found on Google, decided on this hotel and never regretted it. The hotel is brand new, everything is clean and fresh. Nice service staff. The check-in is fast, they handed over their passports, received bracelets, keys, went up to the room, went down and took the passport. No painful filling of questionnaires and queues. All rooms are equally new, clean and fresh, all have a balcony. In the room: refrigerator, air conditioning, hairdryer, bidet, shower, bed, dressing table, wardrobe, safe, TV. We had a view of the pine trees (3rd floor). In the morning, one could lie down from the bed and look at the huge cones on these pines, they grow so close to the balcony. The rooms are very well soundproofed. Closing the windows - you can't hear the music from the neighboring cafes, you can't hear the neighbors through the wall either. A trifle, but nice. The guide before settling warned that the hotel is forbidden to eat watermelons, melons and drink alcohol in the rooms. Those who are found guilty of such activities face a fine. . She explained that if you want to eat a watermelon, buy it and take it to the hotel restaurant, where they will cut it for free and serve it on plates. And so it was. Watermelons cost 10 cents per kg, it is impossible to resist buying a delicious berry. You calmly take it to a restaurant and they give you dishes, a knife and eat at a table on the seashore. And the room is clean and nice to eat by the sea. Breakfast is served in the same restaurant. Breakfast is delicious, but as is customary in hotels of this type, monotonous. Daily: croissants with chocolate and jam, bread, two types of ham, butter, honey, jams, two types of delicious cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, milk, cereal, watermelon or apples, tea, coffee, water, powdered drinks in two flavors. No one left hungry, the food is always fresh and in large quantities. Having breakfast 20 meters from the sea is not a fairy tale? Another big plus of the hotel is that the room number corresponds to the sunbed number on the beach. Sunbeds and umbrellas are free. There are no sun loungers with towels, first comers and slippers, as in other hotels. Right there, no matter what time you come, your sunbed with an umbrella is waiting for you. There is a manager on the beach who asks to see a card from the room, puts the sunbeds more comfortable for you, shakes sand off them, removes garbage on the beach, filters the sand in the morning with a fan. Beach towels are provided at the reception. They are short, so they do not cover the entire sunbed. You can only change the towel for free after 3 days, or it costs 1 euro if you change it every day. But after two days, the towel is already saturated with salt from the sea so that it simply does not dry out, it is unpleasant to lie on the wet one. From the lounger to the hotel reception 1min 28sec, measured with a calm step. I knew that many would be interested in this after my return. Of the minuses: 1) maids can enter the room and clean, even when you are in the room and not dressed, they ask you not to be shy, they say they are also girls and everything is fine. The concept of coming in with cleaning later does not exist. If you close the door with an internal lock and ask you to leave later, they will not return to you. If you leave your things on the chair, the maids will throw them in the closet. This is unpleasant, because not only does a stranger touch your clothes (it is not known whether they are clean with their hands), but also things are wrinkled after that, as she simply crumpled them up and stuffed them into the closet. 2) the staff still does not speak even elementary English, in some situations it takes a very long time to explain what is needed on the fingers. 3) the hotel has its own mini-power station, so when everyone has air conditioning at night, the light goes out and the alarm squeaks disgustingly at the whole hotel that there is no light. 4) Wi-Fi - theoretically, it really is everywhere, as the guides promise, but in practice it is not. It is not possible to send a photo or talk on viber not from the first and not from the fifth time. Although routers are everywhere (in the hotel on each floor), but sooooo rarely a good signal. This also applies to local cafes. Therefore, if you need a good signal for communication over the Internet, it is better to buy a local card for your phone. 5) The hotel does not have a swimming pool. I do not need it, but since they already declare 4 *, it should be.
