Transfer from Tirana 6 hours. The guide said that she was tired and would not tell anything about Albania. Arrived at 3 am no one was at the reception. There are no reception hours either. It's generally nonsense people come from other time zones. The guide threw us the keys and drove off at the reception there was a bunch of lunch boxes, but no one said they were ours or not ours.

Transfer from Tirana 6 hours. The guide said that she was tired and would not tell anything about Albania. Arrived at 3 am no one was at the reception. There are no reception hours either. It's generally nonsense people come from other time zones. The guide threw us the keys and drove off at the reception there was a bunch of lunch boxes, but no one said they were ours or not ours. As it turned out later, this is how we were greeted - a welcome cocktail. Who took lunchboxes more boldly, and some were frightened by formidable announcements about a fine for bringing food into the room. Basically jungle.
The waiters are rude, put behind dirty tablecloths, although they have a lot of disposable tablecloths. Dirty dishes are not cleaned during meals if you rearrange the squeal yourself. I wrapped a croissant in a napkin and a delegation of shvonders immediately ran up to me and said that it was impossible to take out even one croissant from the cafe. At the same time, I also drank tea, in general, they know how to spoil the appetite. Before leaving, I wrapped two boiled eggs for the journey, the delegation again came and forced me to eat these eggs. But the most interesting thing in the evening at the reception was told that I didn’t eat the eggs, but stole them, and demanded 50 euros. This is some trash. Because of the two eggs for which I paid 800 euros, they even called Tirana.
I've traveled half the world, but I've never seen anything like it. At the same time, the tour operator said that this is a worldwide practice. I think the fish rots from the head. Before arrival, we watched the speech of the management of Aler Travel and they said that vacationers do not need umbrellas since they go to Ksamil, that is, at the request of the workers, umbrellas and sunbeds were removed. No beach, no pool, bad food. On the first day there was fresh pastry, but then we ate it for 4 days and when we ate we brought a new one. Dinners that were previously praised tasteless and meager, there is no animation. In the elevator during the day, the temperature is 70 degrees, they are rarely cleaned, the bed is not changed or covered. For what 4 stars, and even more so, a plus is unclear. Do not use the services of Aler Travel all a scam. Although Saranda and the sea are super. No luck with travel agency.

I’ll go straight to the hotel, since this review is about the hotel, and not about the country as a whole. 1. The room is normal, the furniture is not new, but in good condition. 2. The staff is friendly, but they don't understand anything in Russian. 3. There are no bathrobes, although 4 * is indicated, the towel was changed once for 7 nights, the bed was not changed at all, it was cleaned every day.

1. The room is normal, the furniture is not new, but in good condition.
2. The staff is friendly, but they don't understand anything in Russian.
3. There are no bathrobes, although 4 * is indicated, the towel was changed once for 7 nights, the bed was not changed at all, it was cleaned every day.
4. Strong noise from a construction site near the hotel. The hotel is right above the highway.
5. Meals: breakfasts are monotonous, but you will not be hungry, and dinners are varied and tasty.
6. There is no declared beach with sunbeds and umbrellas, at the end of our departure they just started to put it in order.
7. You can’t bring food and drinks into the room, except for water, in the description of the hotel it was indicated for food and we were ready for this, but for drinks we were already faced with a fact or buying from them in a restaurant is three times more expensive.
8. There is no safe in the room, but it does not work at the reception.

Cool new hotel, small - about 20 rooms; From the rooms and from the restaurant - a beautiful view of the sea. There is no territory, no pool, but there is a beach club across the road with good pools. Very clean, incredibly delicious dinners, with seafood and drinks served by waiters in white shirts; excellent service - especially the top manager Nola, who immediately solved all our questions.

Very clean, incredibly delicious dinners, with seafood and drinks served by waiters in white shirts; excellent service - especially the top manager Nola, who immediately solved all our questions. At the reception, our girl was beautiful, but completely useless - perhaps because she was new. The hotel is on the outskirts, 45 minutes walk to the center, but we liked the beaches on our side more.
In general, I liked the hotel very much.
Transfer from the airport about 5.5 hours, we were with a 4-year-old child and I was very worried about this, but everything went great - the road is very beautiful, and we slept most of the time after a night flight.
The beach from the hotel is not quite suitable for swimming - cold water from the river and large stones, but walk 10 minutes to the right - and you will find gorgeous beaches for every taste - from a 5 * hotel paid, or, a little earlier, wild beautiful. In general, not a problem at all. And if you go to Ksamil (20 minutes by bus) - there are generally the Maldives, I couldn’t believe it) (although they say that it’s too crowded there in July-August)
In general, Albania is just some kind of discovery: very, very beautiful, very inexpensive, delicious food, good people. To be honest, we drove a little cautiously, especially with a child, but in the end - a complete delight. Yes, there are many construction sites around, there are gypsies in the city center, but where are they not? This is my 27th country and it is one of the most beautiful!

Excellent view from the room, high level service, varied food BUT. Near the hotel, a mountain river flows into the sea, as a result of which the sea is fresh and very cold. I had to go to other beaches, which is not very convenient. Also, the hotel is quite far from the center, at least 40 minutes walk through the dirty streets with gypsy beggars.

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel a lot. Well, everything is fine and the food, and the rooms, and the beach. The hotel is brand new, every detail is perfect. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The cleanliness of the hotel is monitored, no matter if it's a room or a restaurant or just a corridor. You need to go down a bit to the beach, there is a beach bar where you can relax during the day and hang out in the evening.

You need to drive or walk to the embankment (but this is good, since there are a lot of noisy bars near it that are buzzing in the evenings)
As for the beach, I read about the cold river and did not understand anything. There is actually a river there, but the water on the hotel's beach does not suffer from this in any way. I was there in June and swam every day with no problems. Vodicka shine!!!
But the most important plus of this hotel, its soul and heart is the staff. The guys are so attentive that there are simply no words. Everyone will always prompt and tell. The girl Nastya at the reception will always ask how things are, how we feel, whether everything is to our liking. And the waiter Nikolai is an incredibly charismatic young man.
In general, I got a lot of pleasure from the rest. Next year I will come again, so I will also bring the whole family!!!! ))))

We rested in this hotel with my family in June. I was very wary of Albania, but still decided to take a chance. The hotel was chosen for "luck", I just liked it outwardly and I will say that they definitely did not lose! Such excellent service is rarely seen anywhere, for which special thanks to the hotel staff ! ! Everything in the hotel is new, very beautiful, very clean, the rooms are cleaned daily.

The food is very tasty and varied, sea food is cooked deliciously. We bought a tour with breakfast, for lunch and dinner we ordered dishes from the restaurant from the menu. There is a big market nearby. From our room there was a very beautiful panoramic view of Corfu and Saranda. The hotel has its own beach with a beach bar, and constantly passing entertainment, we were never bored. We were on the beach in Ksamil several times, but we liked our beach much more. The sea is very clean and warm. My family and I just fell in love with this amazing country and the ALER Holiday Inn. We did not even expect that our vacation would be so wonderful!
