Albanian Riviera Beach Holidays

Todo perfecto! El lugar está precioso! El desayuno es muy rico! Aunque tuvimos un inconveniente de que entregaron nuestra misma habitación a otros huéspedes y entraron a mitad de la noche con nosotros adentro.

We planned a six day visit to 'rest' after a month of intense travel - but left after two days. Most of our disappointment was with Sarande itself - a very poorly developed resort town, with buildings on top of one another, rocky local beaches, a shocking amount of litter Everywhere, and a generally exhausted air to everyone we met there. Neither restful nor beautiful. We hightailed it back to Corfu and unfortunately had to 'eat' about $800 in hotel expenses we couldn't get reimbursed. The hotel itself is a very pretty property, with very nice rooms and surroundings. The manager on duty was excellent, addressing a couple of minor complaints immediately, and following up with us several times. The pool is beautiful. The season felt 'finished,' however, by mid-October, and even though it was beautiful weather there were no beach chairs set up, the beach bar was closed, etc. Also .... a friend booked and paid for a room there to join us, and 30 minutes later I told her we were leaving - yet she couldn't get a refund. Hotels blame Expedia but this is false - they can easily refund bookings, and they should have in this case.
