Sunset Shoreline Saranda Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"While a little challenging to drive to the hotel when coming up from the 'back side' of Sarande, it was well worth it. The hotel is lovely: large, comfortable rooms; fantastic views; super helpful and friendly staff; nice breakfast buffet and dinner in the restaurant; and a nice relaxing pool. Plenty of parking in a nice big lot. If you don't mind a few extra minutes to get there, it's absolutely wonderful!"

Julia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amy the receptionist made our stay perfect!"

San Angelo Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Mooi uitzicht naar de zee vanuit kamer, alleen jacuzzi beneden ruikte heel sterk naar chloor dat je niet daar kon blijven zitten."

Apart-Hotel Lili2

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely modern Apartment, very nice room with a fantastic balcony. A small Cafe owned by Hotel did a nice basic breakfast £5/ea, parking by hotel, although the access road is a little step. Located up the hill a little and 20mins out from the Prominade, but there's loads of Bars & Restaurants everywhere. Only thing missing from apartment is a Toaster, it did have a Sandwich maker, but not the same."

Hotel Real

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing room with a sea view. The hosts were great people - I will definitely return!"

Litan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Litan hotel. Booked a room with balcony and sea view, had a fantastic sea views especially during sunset hours. Very clean rooms and pretty new built. Staffs were amazing and friendly. I wanted to tell people to try lunch and dinner menus as well. However, breakfast could feel like a routine but that’s how it would be in all the hotels if you’re staying for 4-5 days."

Vila Kalcuni

10/10 Excellent

"What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the staff. The team delivered warm, attentive, and highly professional service from check-in to check-out, anticipating our every need. It is rare to find a place where both the room comfort and the hospitality are this top-tier!"

Bougainville Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely recommend the double deluxe sea view room!!! Beautiful views and beautiful room. Staff are lovely. Near halal food and supermarket across the road Only around 10/15 mins walk from main strip"

Hotel Edola

10/10 Excellent

"Emplacement juste à la frontière de la promenade de Saranda. Tout ce fait à la marche. Excellent restaurant de sushis à 2 minutes à pied. La piscine et l’endroit déjeuner sont un plus et offrent une superbe vue. Le lit est confortable et la chambre respire vue sa grandeur. N’hésitez pas!"
