Isolated
Hotel was in good location with great staff and very helpful. Like other people have commented it's a shame to get isolated down the street away from everyone and I believe that if you make a booking you should be informed of that, some will be happy with that others like me won't and can choose somewhere else to stay, I kind of felt conned when I turned up and was told welcome but you're not staying here we've put you in the overflow accommodation

Disappointed
It was okay and underwhelming. The description and photos were deceiving. They have 7 to 8 “villas” which are just apartments. The main place was beautiful and that is where we wanted to stay but there was no explanation or details given so we ended up at one of the other places. The room itself was okay, nothing crazy. It was annoying that for four people, there was only one roll of toilet paper. Also the windows and door didn’t have blinds so when the sun rose, it blinded us so early in the morning. Vlora has so many other beautiful hotels that are worth it. The amount I paid was disappointing. I don’t blame the lady who managed and cleaned that apartment. She was very kind and understanding. But the manager was very arrogant and not helpful.

The property itself is lovely, well maintained, and picturesque. The staff were helpful and provided a wonderful breakfast. I don't know if this was typical, but there was a neighborhood dog that barked constantly, all night long. I feel badly for the property as that is not their fault, but I was unable to get any sleep at all as a result.

Beni is the man. He runs the whole place. Very responsive and accommodating. The main place, Vila Rilas was very nice and clean. The rooms were spacious and there was a nice breakfast spot on site. We had booked four rooms but only two of them were actually at Vila Rilas. The other two were off-site nearby. They double booked one of the rooms and we got shuttled to another place 900 meters away and was much lower quality than what we thought we were getting. That was misleading because I believed I was booking 4 rooms at Vila Rilas. There was also a nasty sewage smell coming from the bathroom and we had to keep the bathroom door closed at all times. Overall it was a good experience.

Stayed here a couple of nights working on a major engineering project 30 km up the road. Ben, who speaks good English, couldn't have been more helpful. Great breakfast with delicious home made fruity jam.

La villa mi è piaciuta moltissimo. Al mattino c'è la colazione, molto molto abbondante e servita direttamente al tavolo e non a buffet. C'è poi possibilità di pranzare e cenare e i prezzi sono buoni. C'è una bella veranda dove si può stare sdraiati su enormi cuscini e rilassarsi. Il personale è molto gentile e vengono forniti ombrelloni se si va nella spiaggia pubblica, che è vicina, così come quelle a pagamento (ma non costano tanto). Ci siamo trovati bene e la spiaggia di Valona è bellissima, con acqua molto calda.

A fuir !
Publicité mensongère dans son ensemble : la chambre n’est pas située dans le bel hôtel , mais dans un autre bâtiment plus délabré à 200 mètres (Anel suites) . Détrompez vous le nom ne tient pas du tout parole , à notre arrivée fenêtre cassée qui ne fermait pas ; clé de porte intérieur pour porte d’entrée donc pas sécuritaire du tout ; fuite dans les WC ; lavabo bouché. Lorsqu’on a demandé le remboursement de la chambre pour partir et aller ailleurs , l’employé nous a dit qu’elle voyait avec son manager et revenait vers nous on attend toujours (de plus ils ont envoyé volontairement une personne qui ne parlait pas anglais , alors que la personne a la réception parle anglais par exemple.. nous nous sommes débrouillés avec le traducteur mais preuve de leur malhonnêteté). Nous ne sommes pas restés et sommes dans une procédure de réclamation pour obtenir le remboursement car pas du tout conforme à la réservation initiale.
