This property is stunning. The staff was freindly and helpful. We loved the room, the view was amazing. The pool is beautiful and everything is well thought out. Parking is easy. My only complaint is that the road in didnt have a sign at the top so we where nervous for a minute but the gps got us right to the front door.

The hotel exceeded my expectations, the cleanliness is amazing. Staff are very friendly and helpful, the restaurant within the hotel also has a good selection of food all reasonably priced and delicious. The pool was lovely, and the private beach with umbrellas and sun beds was beautiful.

Friendly and helpful staff. Very nice pool and beach area. And the cleaning was really good. The hotel is a bit out of saranda but for us it was better.

Our stay at El Primero was nothing short of amazing! The hotel itself was immaculate and in excellent condition. Clean and beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the younger woman behind the front desk! Make sure to ask for beach recommendations! The food was wonderful and the area is great for walking to dinner or dessert!

We were worried at first because the hotel is quite far from the bay and staff said a taxi is 15 euros; however, it is a nice walk with lots of shops and restaurants along the way and it didn't take more than a half hour. We got a private taxi back for 10 euros. Hotel is brand new, pool is lovely. Breakfast was excellent. Nice staff. Thank you!

Wonderful staff and property! Very clean and well looked after, quiet area at the end of Saranda and is located right in between the town centre and Ksamil. Rooms were tidied very well ( I always inspect for that), we had an issue with a hair dryer but reception gave us an alternative one promptly. All staff were lovely including housekeeping and kitchen aswell. Overall I am very happy with my choice of staying at El Primero!

It was the best hotel we stayed in Albania. We were doing a road trip throughout the country so we stayed in a different hotel every night. This one was by far the best we had. The room was big and spacious, the toilet was big and the shower was wonderful. The food is okay but there is various dinner options nearby. There is an underground garage and an outdoor parking “isolated” which is safe. The breakfast is very good and diverse. There is a private beach which is very good and the pool is wonderful. The staff is very pleasant and friendly. Definitely recommend it

I inquired about an issue with my stay. Without responding they charged my card before my stay even was scheduled to take place.

I learned the hard way that in Albania the hotel owner put their own stars, becuase this is not a 4 star hotel and many things to fix

In a calm zone at the end of the bay of Sarandë which makes it only accessible by car but halfway to ksamil. The pool is really nice and you have free access to the beach with long chairs and umbrellas. The room is really well equipped: our bathroom mirror had a strobing light though and the safe wouldn't work... The staff is nice, the restaurant is good and relatively cheap! The breakfast is nice and varied but could be better: no choice of eggs cold boiled or sunny side up soaked in oil. The ham and cheese could be better. No fresh juice and the coffee is bad.

Staff and management rude when confronted about over charging at the bar because we are British! Got ripped off on every drink as they charged double the prices printed on the menu and then refused to rectify it when we realised. Extremely unprofessional. Its a shame they feel the need to rip people off.

Ruhige und dennoch zentrale Lage. Alles war sauber und komfortabel – genau richtig zum Entspannen. Kostenlose Parkplätze direkt am Hotel. Das Frühstück war vielfältig, frisch und für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Würden jederzeit wieder buchen!

Très bon séjour dans l’hôtel. Très moderne et bien équipé. Le petit déjeuner est très bien Il est situé en bout de ville donc un peu excentré vous devrez prendre la voiture pour aller à Sarande centre. La plage privé et piscine sont inclus dans le logement.

O hotel é novo, muito bonito com excelente roupa de cama e banho. O funcionário da recepção nos ajudou bastante com aluguel de carro e transfer. Os funcionários do restaurante não são muito simpáticos e vários dos pedidos que fizemos no jantar estavam em falta. O café da manhã na minha opinião tinham poucas opções de meu gosto, mas entendo ser cultural o que ofereciam , não gostei, faltaram opções para mim. A piscina é uma delícia e a área da praia realmente faz a diferença com um belo pôr do sol e você pode usar as espreguiçadeiras sem custos adicionais. Outra coisa que incomodou na cidade e na área do restaurante é o excesso de tabagistas, nos éramos os únicos que não fumavam, sofremos com o cheiro de cigarro em todos os cantos da cidade. No geral o hotel é muito bom e muito limpo.

Super modernes und sauberes Hotel. Recht klein und dadurch sehr ruhig. Alle sehr zuvorkommend und nett!! Bitte bei den Getränken die Eiswürfel abbestellen - das haben wir total vergessen und dann leider die Quittung bekommen. Da kann aber das Personal absolut nichts für, daher keine Kritik :-)

Hôtel très bien dans l’ensemble, la piscine et l’accès à la plage étaient très bien. Hôtel très propre aussi. En revanche le service n’est pas leur spécialité : peu aimables, mal organisés, et la qualité de la nourriture n’était pas à la hauteur du prix.

Vi er en familie på 5(3 børn og 2 voksne), som lige har boet 8 dage på dette fantastiske hotel. Personalet var flinke og behjælpelige og både den inkluderede morgenmad og maden i restauranten var virkelig god. Vi havde to værelser, det ene med udsigt til havet(kan varmt anbefales) og et andet og lidt billigere uden havudsigt. Begge værelser og det øvrige hotel var ekstremt rent og pænt med daglig rengøring.

Hotell var bra men området rundt var langt unna godt. Ligger på motsatt side av centrum Saranda så bil er nødvendig skal du ditt. Frokost er enkel men holder. Middag/lunsj må man styre unna. Renhold og de som vasket var utrolige. De gjordet hotellet!
