I already suggested the region above. How many times a day to eat, it's up to you to decide without me.

Durres-surroundings-the sea is shallow, and you will not see the beauty of Albania there. For such a price, you can easily rent an excellent hotel or apartment. There will still be something left, starting from Vlora to Ksamil. That's where the beauty is, in Vlora, there are two seas, the further south, the more beautiful both the seas and the service .. In Durres itself, you need to walk 100 meters along the sea to get to the depth, in the port city itself, the sea is dirty, look especially in Durrey there is nothing.

medovnica.sasha Why do you need all-inclusive in Albania?? In any cafe or restaurant you can eat well for 10-15 euros. Take breakfast and everything.

ollennka If anything, in Vlora there is also the Adriatic, though it is much more luxurious than Durres, and only outside the town, a little further, Ionica begins.

medovnica.sasha for Karpen, I can say, a village, there is nowhere to go except for cafes by the sea, there are more campers resting, there is an artificial island. ... If you live with the owners who own the island, the entrance to the island is free, if not, then it is paid.

Albania is generally a big fan.
Well, if Albania, then just not Durres and Vlore.

lana_181, I am aware that formally in Vlora the border of the Adriatic and Ionika. But this does not change the essence, Vlora and everything to the south, I recommend for relaxation.
And those hotels that the author of the question is considering, I DO NOT recommend.

The bottom line is that the sea is clean. And it will be the Adriatic or something else, it is not so important.

I was with my boyfriend on vacation in this hotel (summer 2021) and were very upset by the wasted money and impressions of the rest. The hotel classifies itself as 5 stars, but in fact 3 (maximum). During the 6 days of our stay there, we never changed towels and bed linen, the cleaners constantly moved things, once they kicked slippers in different corners of the room ... Also, the designers of the rooms of this hotel really saved a lot. The most obvious example is the shower stall. She is simply not there. There is only one glass wall and a slight slope of tiles on the floor to drain the water. But this is naturally not enough, because when you take a shower, the entire bathroom floats in water. Food: we only took breakfast (and thank God), because the food here is monotonous, every day is the same. Once we decided to dine at the restaurant at this hotel, we took a steak, but alas, it tasted undersalted and suuuuper tough.

Regarding the beach: the sea is normal, but because of the sand it is muddy and shallow, we never got to the depth (so that it was at least 2 meters), it will be difficult to swim because algae grow there, which sting and leave traces on the body (Unfortunately, for some reason no one wrote about this on the Internet). Location: located in the *ope of the world, there is no other way to say it. There is no public transport in Karpen, no supermarkets, a couple of restaurants and that's it. To get to civilization, you need to go to Durres by taxi, which costs 20 euros one way! There is simply no other way. And the biggest pain is the service. Here they will do everything so that you leave all the money that you have. Initially, the guide handed all tourists booklets with a list of excursions and also car rentals. But in fact, when they started asking for rent, all the cars were busy, when they started asking for excursions, trips were impossible. It was generally incomprehensible to us, why first tell about excursions, and then say that there are none

Also, the hotel had no water for 2 days, no water at all. A 5-star hotel with no water! The hotel staff only greets you normally, but in fact they ignore you, don’t notice, and consider you a poop. Check out from this hotel at 11.00 no matter what time you have a plane. We had to check out 3 hours late. We came to the reception and there, without warning us, they immediately began to fill out a late check-out, which costs 30 euros ... 30 euros for 3 hours !!! Of course, we refused. Despite the fact that we checked in 12 hours later than it was agreed due to the flight delay, they didn’t care because the main thing was to rip off more money from you. In general, I wrote this long post so that normal people would never come here and not waste their vacation, money, time and nerves. I advise you to choose hotels in Vlora, Ksamil or Saranda from experience, there is a better sea and more beautiful views and there is civilization and rent a car in advance.

olka.velikaya oh, why did you go there? The question, of course, is already rhetorical. It's great if you are a company, by car and in camps. no more. And then ... It’s not algae that sting, but jellyfish, we were all bitten.

olka.velikaya, my wife rested two weeks ago at the Aria Karpen Resort & Spa (Building 1) 5 *., Yes, the hotel has just opened a new one. The room was chic with two balconies, the rooms were cleaned every day, towels and bathrobes were also changed every day , the food is monotonous, the fish and soups were amazing. The excursions were every day, the wife went to Macedonia for 75 dollars, the check-outs were at 11. if you want to pay 30 euros and live on. A lot of things did not work according to the statement, for example, a pool with a jacuzzi. And so, in principle, I was satisfied.

Hello. I will write my own review.
According to the hotel: there are no glasses, safe, water in the room. But there are disposable slippers, shampoo, shower gel and soap. There is a TV, but only local channels. There is also a fridge and hair dryer. Blankets must be requested additionally. Only sheets are provided.
Wifi is stable in the hotel and in the rooms.
Breakfast is poor, with cups, fruits - a problem. Not everyone has enough. Near the hotel - devastation. The access to the hotel is terrible, dirt road of the lowest quality and slums on the sides.
Check out from the hotel at 11! And not at 12. And if you have everything included, then after the eviction you will not be fed.
Room key one.
You can't pay by card, there's no ATM. You have to go with their money. Currency can be changed at the reception. The beach is not cleaned, quite dirty. Access to the beach through the car park.
Order a taxi only through your guide, not at the reception.
A trip to the nearest settlement - Durres, costs 40 euros round trip.
In the shower - frogs. I do not recommend to anyone.
