10/10 Excellent
"One of the best hotels in Sarande, and that I have been to in Albania. The location is on the beach, and easy to walk everywhere. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful - really ensures your stay is enjoyable. It was very clean, amenities were luxury and the breakfast was very nice considering it is a buffet. Worth the money and would recommend!"
