We chose a budget option, so we decided not to find fault with the hotel. Our flight was delayed a little, so we arrived after 14:00, so we settled in right away. I will make a reservation, they put a chocolate bar "Alenka" and 10 dollars in the passport, as a result they gave a room overlooking the pool. The room is very decent, the furniture is good, we had one large bed, but we were not indignant (resting with a friend), although the cleaner looked askance at us. At the same time, cleaning, by the way, was disgusting. The floor was not washed for 5 days, the dust was wiped off only on the dressing table. Perhaps this is a consequence of the fact that we did not throw things around and did not dirty everything around, but it really pissed me off. We went to complain to the guest relay (the girl at the reception), she spoke good English, so did we. After that, they began to wash the floor, wipe the dust, look at us even more askance. This despite the fact that the first five days left a tip every other day. But we tried not to take such moments to heart, so as not to spoil the rest.
Now about the pleasant. The area is not very big, relatively clean. The hotel has a good large water park, but Tirana cannot be called a real water park, where you can go to a water park, since slides and entertainment are not enough for a separate water park. Before that, we rested in Aqua Blue, so there is something to compare with. In fairness, I note that Aqua Blue was much more expensive. The staff on the slides is vigilant, they try not to create emergencies and collisions between those who are leaving and those who have already left the slides. For children, height restrictions (at least 120 cm in height, otherwise they will not be allowed to go up the hill). In this regard, many mothers scandalized with the staff.
The beach is a 10 minute shuttle bus ride from the hotel. The beach is sandy, beautiful, but again, there are some problems with cleaning, and the presence of Arab tourists also affects, for which you need to clean up all the time. You can enter the sea only on the pontoon, of course, you can see the fish and admire the corals. But there is one "but". The entire area of ​ ​ Nabq, where the hotel is located, is characterized by windy weather and currents, so swimming is not always possible. Sometimes it was a shame, they came to the sea and returned back.

The animation is good, the animators worked to their fullest, thanks to them for that. The food is so-so, tolerable, the meat is tasteless at all. Few fruits. But again, we understand that a hotel with a water park for relatively little money does not imply a breaking table. In the bars I was pleased with cappuccino coffee, espresso, beer of normal quality. We did not take other alcoholic drinks, as they were not lovers.
We went to La Strada and Soho. Very civilized places. In my opinion, modern tourists no longer go to the Old City and Naama Bay, because they do not want to constantly fight off merchants. They also ordered excursions, took the phone from tourists on the beach, they also went with a local company. Their prices were very attractive. The service was at a decent level, and the guide presented the material in a very interesting way.
To sum up the above, we must admit that the holiday was a success. The hotel corresponds to the price, so if you need a budget hotel again, we will definitely return.
