We have just returned from 10 days at this hotel and had the most amazing time. We arrived at the hotel after midnight and were welcome promptly and checked in. Check-in took a while but everything was covered and all question answered. We were then shown to the buffet restaurant which had remained open for us with bites to eat and we were also offered any drinks we wanted even though the bar and restaurant had closed. We were allocated rooms 658, 659 and 650 as had emailed prior to the our visit asking for a high floor and mentioned it was an anniversary. Rooms were large and very clean. Bathrooms were stocked with toiletries, bathroom scales and plenty of towels. Mini fridge was fully stocked with soft drinks, water and beer. All of which was re-stocked daily although we did have to ring down a few days as the minibar person comes around quite early to re-stock. Plenty of places to stores clothes, you can request more hangers if needed. Rooms had a hairdryer, steamer, robe, slippers. The safety deposit box was huge, and big enough for my large camera equipment, drone equipment, valuables and more with space. This was free to use. TV has chromecast so we could watch YouTube etc. Lots of charging points, both side of the bed, and under the TV which were USB and USB-C slots aswell as plug sockets around the room. Balcony was large enough and had a table and 3 chairs. Views were stunning over the bay/sea and you could see Albania on clear days too. Blackout curtains were good, but I did have to place pillows on the floor to block the light coming in under the curtains as the morning sun was very bright early on. Negatives with the room were the very bright flashing fire alarm which would light the whole room every few seconds, even with an eye mask you could see this. I know these are required for obvious reasons but maybe a change is needed so they aren’t so bright. We knew the fire alarms worked as the first 4 days of our stay they were off at 8am and again at dinner as we were above the kitchen. These stopped going off after a few days, so we believe this to be resolved. Hotel grounds were spotless and everything was kept so clean. All staff we encountered were very friendly and made our stay extra special. All pools have more than enough sunbeds, and even at 11am onwards there were plenty free. Very little reserving of beds at this hotel which meant we could have a lie-in each morning! Pool towels were abundant and available throughout the day as needed. We ate at the a la carte restaurants a few times, the Italian restaurant was really good food. The seaside grill was also very good with plenty of choices including steaks and fish. We ate lunch at Barefoot Grill which had fresh cold sandwiches and pizzas, again very good. The main buffet restaurant had excellent choices for breakfast, omelettes, fruit, yogurts, breads, pancakes, waffles, hot options. Lunch and Dinner in the main buffet were good but limited if you didn’t like fish or meats. We
