Hotel Dengan Spa di Vlorë, Albania

A very centrally located hotel with all amenities very close by and just a short walk to the lovely sea front at Vlore. Very comfortable rooms, very clean and excellent bathroom. Lots of space for luggage. Choice of pillows - from hard to soft. Breakfast was adequate but there could have been more of it and more choice for a hotel of this kind. Staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend for a stay in lovely Vlore.

We stayed at one of the apartments on the complex - not in the hotel itself so we can’t comment on the rooms. However, we were able to use the pool (700lek per adult) and beach (500lek per adult) as were classed as resident on the complex. We only used the main pool as rooftop doesn’t allow children. The main pool is good in that it has lots of space and a nice view (agree with another reviewer - a bin is placed in the worst place with this view!!). However I would say the main pool could do with better cleaning. This was the biggest downfall. This was really apparent when someone near us cut their hand on one of the beds - the solution to clean this was water splashed and then it was left the whole afternoon/evening. This was unacceptable especially when staff were just sitting around, and we did hear another family complain about this as it was right near where the kids smaller pool was too. Gross! The beach was really clean, and the lifeguard there was really great in terms of keeping everyone safe as waves got big. It is a pebble beach and only a small area can you walk into the sea. The music is an odd one there - one day they played the same 4 songs all day.. and it wasn’t suitable for little ears in the slightest. Other days it would be a real mix. We didn’t mind the volume but I can see how others may find it too loud. Drinks are more expensive than others bars etc we had been in in Saranda/Albania - as was the food. We didn’t eat here in the end so can’t comment on the food taste though. Staff at the bar were lovely with our children, and served our drinks quickly each time. There is a supermarket right outside - small but has essentials. Quite expensive we found though compared to other supermarkets we went in. 15 min walk to the main boardwalk, but loads of restaurants around to try, which were great and had the most stunning sunset views (especially if you go right out of the complex)
