The proximity to the beach was nice. The property had exterior potential from an aesthetics standpoint.
It could have been because it was end of season, but many menu items were not available. The food was not good. Despite offering a free breakfast, went offsite to eat. The staff was hit or miss. The rooms were dated and the windows were not clean.

Locatie is direct aan het privestrand. Zeer mooi (overdekt) terras met uitzicht op zee.
Kamers zijn redelijk gedateerd, de omgeving is een bouwplaats.

Douche pas très fonctionnelle, inondation dans la salle de bain

Luxe hotel met een prachtig terras met uitzicht over zee.
Ontbijt inderdaad in een soort van bijgedeelte
4.5 / 5.0
La ubicación era muy conveniente, cerca del Puerto, en una calle con varios hoteles, restaurantes a orilla de mar y tiendas de conveniencia; lejos del mundanal ruido.
Las habitaciones son muy amplias, las camas cómodas y la limpieza se hace a diario con cambio de toallas. Las áreas comunes del hotel están muy bonitas y remodeladas.
El personal en general muy amable y atentos. Desayunar en la terraza viendo y escuchando el mar es un plus.
Nosotras tuvimos habitación con balcón mirando al mar de frente y los atardeceres fueron todos increíbles. También pudimos estacionar el carro de alquiler dentro de las instalaciones del hotel, el espacio es limitado, pero se agradece tener sitio, ya que la calle suele estar llena.
La oferta del desayuno era la misma todos los días, los huevos no se hacen en el momento y aunque había variedad en los dulces y queso, solo había huevos y salchicha como opción salada. El personal del comedor aunque amables, se sientan, comen y conversan en la hora del desayuno, en mi opinión, estaría mejor de cara al público, si lo hacen fuera del horario de desayuno para los huéspedes o en otro lugar.
La playa del hotel es muy bonita pero se nota que no la limpian con frecuencia y es una lástima porque el sitio es agradable, pero entre la inconsciencia del que deja la basura y que no hay quien se encargue a diario de recogerla, se afea el espacio innecesariamente.

Great location, clean and comfortable room. The beach access was nice, although you have to pay for the “upgraded” location, but it was worth it. We got the bean bag chairs with the net that stuck out over the water for 5,000 ALL. As we were there all day (9 am - 5 pm), we were ok with paying a premium to have the breeze, view, and personal space. You could order from the beach bar, and they would bring drinks and food to you. We usually walked up to the bar, though, as it was faster. The service at the beach bar was great.
No complaints. Saranda (as a city) lost power one night (not fun in mid-July), but that was no fault of the hotel. They put out tea lights and lamps in the hallways and stairwells.

Amazing staff, Erind the waiter was so friendly and made us feel so welcome. location was perfect for our trip and views were stunning, breakfast was great, varied dinner menu and lovely drinks. Private beach was wonderful.
Room got moved upon arrival without forewarning, was a smaller room with no outside space - staff helped move us to a better room. Ongoing construction work consistently that we were not informed of. Wifi in our room didn’t work for 1 to 2 days - staff did fix this for us.

the staff was very friendly especially the gentleman at the restaurant who gave up his jacket to our daughter as she was cold and also helped us fix our car.

Very nice hotel and the rooms are equipped with everything you need for a stay. Parking place for a car or motorbike in the basement of the hotel. The best of all is the view from the balcony.

I have been travelling the world for 4 months now and I can honestly say that I have never experienced such wonderful service in anywhere in the world. Words cannot explain how helpful and comfortable i was in this Hotel. You can tell it is owned by a family that looks after their staff and treats them like family. I absolutely loved everything about this place the view the food the hospitality Thankyou

It was a great hotel near the beach. The hotel restaurant served good food and local wines. Great stuff and clean rooms.
5.0 / 5.0
The service!!! Hands down most attentive service I’ve ever experienced. Every single person I encountered was exceptionally kind. Shout out to Erind constantly checking in on us to make sure we were having a good time (as it was raining and it is a beach town). Blandly (sp.) and Julio were also the best! Julio let me use his phone for a long distance call because the hotel phone wasn’t working and I had run out of international minutes. He also upgraded us to a renovated room upon request.
The breakfast was delicious - there was a massive assortment of items: doughnuts, vegetables, sweet honeydew, eggs, pizza, etc.
The location was great too - a bit away from the port so away from the hustle and bustle. There were several restaurants and markets within walking distance as well.
The hotel has its own private beach with clear water.
Our first room was one of the unrenovated partial sea view ones - this was our fault as we didn’t look closely at the booking. The room was a bit dark and outdated and the sea view was only visible from the balcony. We stayed in that room for one night and the next day requested to be moved to a renovated room. This was done without hesitation on the hotel’s part and was extremely appreciated by us. It made our stay 100X better.

Even we arrived a bit early in Saranda the room was already prepared. Staff was very friendly, breakfast buffet was quite OK, terrasse with ocean view just amazing!
Don't expect a sand beach but that clean sea compensates all.
There is nothing to complain from our side. Possibly elderly or handicapped people using a wheel chair face some difficulties in the hotel and its way to the beach. Facilities were OKish.
We were negatively surprised of the heavy traffic in Saranda.
1.5 / 5.0
The staff were lovely, kind and super helpful.
The beds were very comfortable.
The food in the hotel restaurant was delicious and the portions are rather large.
We were deceived on so many levels. The balcony was extremely important to us because my mom cannot be on the beach. The room I booked had a beautiful wooden balcony with trees and side sea view, however what we got was NOT a balcony and with NO view. It was also not at all clean. I cancelled another better hotel I previously booked because of that balcony. They were fully booked so we were stuck with the room. The balcony was right underneath a busy road too.
The air conditioner kept leaking and we had to keep the temperature to no less than 25 degrees.
There were water marks on the ceiling as well probably from the bathroom on the floor abobe us. The bathroom smells moldy.
All in all, I would not come back, only because what they show on the pictures is not what you get.
I'm attaching below pictures of everything we disliked, as well as the balcony we were supposed to get vs the balcony we got.

Everything was superlative! The staff was wonderful, very friendly, and the service professional on all levels! You can't fault a hotel like this! It was very clean (the rooms were always tidied up, even daily)
The breakfast was rich, and at dinner you could choose from a lot of dishes!
Congratulations to the staff!
Also, the private beach was also very very beautiful and clean!
It is impossible to have any complaints about this hotel! 😀
4.5 / 5.0
Hotel is located at a pristine beach and has a private beach area. Loungers and parasols were free for guests and for 2000LEK you could get upgraded to a more comfy area. Beach has bar service with drinks delivered to you. Prices are very reasonable especially compared with other European resorts (cost of beer around 3 euros). Location is about 20min walking from Saranda promenade. Rooms were very clean but in need for some renovation (which I understand is in process).
- no towels provided at the beach
- breakfast need massive improvement. We stayed in 3 hotels in Albania (Durres, Saranda and Tirana) and Hotel Apollon had sadly the worst breakfast selection by far

Staff are very helpful and hospitable! Especially the girls at reception! I love them😊 The boys on the beach can help you find the empty aumbrella! Breakfast is good especially the fruit. The location is handy and quiet. Nearby 1 min walk there is an Eco Market to buy drink food and daily necessities. Not far from city center (noisy and crowded), 15min walk. I prefer this place to stay my 4 nights. The facility is new and I like the modern design of the room. It looks the same as picture.
Wifi speed and the drain in the bathroom could be better.

The staff was extremely friendly, the food was excellent and the beach was clean and had a stunning view.
The only thing I did not like was the fact that we could not have a second room key. It made it pretty inconvenient to enter and exit the room.

Very good,recommending this hotel! If you are going to Saranda this is best hotel there! I was very suprised with view from terasse and the breakfast is very nice!
5.0 / 5.0
The hotel is a gem conveniently located between a gorgeous private beach and a bustling, vibrant neighborhood. With spectacular views of Corfu and the crystal clear waters of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, it was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy pleasant mornings and late afternoons swimming, sipping cocktails and knocking books off of my summer reading list.
The hotel restaurant was above-average for the area, with, by American standards, extremely reasonable prices. (Dinner for 6 with appetizers, salads, entrees including grilled sea bass, and drinks cost us only approximately $80.) The included breakfast was second-to-none offering a daily assortment of Mediterranean (Olives, white cheese, omelets) and Continental foods.
Finally, I must point out the excellent staff. Everyone working at the hotel was friendly and genuinely caring, making it feel as though we were visiting family. (We even received an email the following day from the hotel, checking to make sure we had made it to our next destination.) In particular, I would like to express our gratitude to Martina and Erind, who both went well out of their way to ensure our comfort and happiness throughout our stay.
In conclusion, I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful hotel to anyone. We are already discussing when we can go again!
This is a matter of personal preference of course, but the only negative I could point to were the foam beds and pillows. It would have been nice if they had some down pillows on hand for guests who prefer them.
