I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is great, just a short walk to the center, and the view was amazing. However, the service left a bit to be desired, especially when it came to staff friendliness and handling of luggage. The dining options were limited, but I enjoyed the grilled fish when I got it. Overall, it's decent value for money but not without its drawbacks.

The hotel has a lovely location, not far from Saranda's center, making it convenient to explore. The rooms I stayed in were clean and comfortable, albeit smaller than expected and quite noisy despite my request for a quiet room. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Nikoleta at the reception, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown with limited options and instances of poor service during busy times, though the amenities, like the pool, were enjoyable.

The hotel had a great location, just a short walk to the center of Saranda, which was perfect for exploring. The rooms provided beautiful sunset views over the pools, but sadly, not all of them were as appealing as the promotional pictures. While most staff were friendly, some seemed a bit distracted. Overall, it was a solid stay but with room for improvement, especially in some service aspects and the accuracy of the room presentations.

The hotel offers stunning views of the Ionian Sea and is conveniently located near many stores and restaurants, making it a great spot for travelers. However, the service left much to be desired, with some staff members being unhelpful and a poor experience checking in after a long journey. The rooms, while clean, felt a bit claustrophobic and decorated in dull gray. Overall, it’s a decent place, but improvements in service and room decor would make a big difference.
