Lovely place. Highly recommend! We were in a suite and everything was perfect. The room is huge, the service is amazing. Great breakfast and gym. A 30-minute walk / 10-minute drive (with a jeep) away is a really beautiful beach. 200 meters from the hotel there is an insanely delicious tavern. Perfect place to stay for 2-3 nights

We spent eight days in Albania on our honeymoon and informed the hotels of this when making our reservations. The first two hotels were four-star establishments offering excellent service, a welcome note upon arrival, and a bottle of champagne in our room. The staff were delightful, recommending places to visit and restaurants to try. At the Prado Luxury, a five-star hotel, there was absolutely no...

We had Nikolin who looked after us every time we went and he was incredible! It’s s...

Unfortunately, the staff of the restaurant was in its break, so I walked up to the reception trying to make a reservation, but the lady at the counter didn't bother to take in the reservation. She then told us to come back when the restaurant is open in order to make the reservation. We stay in another hotel 20 min...

The beds were very comfortable, and the spacious wraparound balcony—with a private jacuzzi—was a true highlight. Definitely luxurious. Breakfast was excellent, with helpful staff who even made omelets on request. The waitstaff overall were consistently at...

Starting with best is location, beautiful area. The parking underground is a mess! IN/OUT one way, crazy design risk of crash, and parking spots very small, designed for very small cars, you need to spend extra time in order to park and is limited! Service is a disaster!! Breakfast crew is very rude and completely unprofessional!! They do not open on time! I went there at 7 am with my 9 year old s...
