Southern Albania Pet-friendly Holidays

Absolutely beautiful hotel, wonderful staff, so helpful and friendly. The room was perfect, so comfortable. The pool and restaurant is also beautiful and breakfast was incredible. We couldn’t recommend this hotel enough, so impressed and we will definitely be coming back. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, we loved it, it was heaven

Grand Duka is a beautiful establishment, definitely worth it. If you are adventurous have a shot of Raki!

Nice-ish hotel decor, but relatively generic, could be anywhere. Beach wasn’t particularly special and had poor/no amenities. The main pool gets very over crowded. The hotel location is far away from any sights/attractions you might want to see. No food or drink service at all past 11pm in the hotel which is ridiculous. Some staff were helpful, others rude/nonchelant. Overall I would say very overpriced for what it is, you could definitely spend your money on a better experience.

Sol Tropikal was a nice spacious hotel to stay at. The bathroom was very nice, extra large bed and a massive balcony. The room came with a large sofa as well. The cleaners are very good and mopped the floors everyday. Generally very nice staff and atmosphere. I would say a good family friendly hotel. Easy short walk/access to pool and beach. Adult and child pool very good water level. Very enjoyable for all age. Clean beach and everything well maintained, would 100% recommend. Breakfast was very basic we only had it 2 days out of the 6 day stay as it wasn't something we would want to eat, wish they had more authentic items like borek or different. Just a small variety of basic stuff so not interesting for adults or kids. Therefore didn't eat at the hotel at any time. Outside there is local shops and restaurant (halal) but we chose to travel around Durres for restaurants. There is no porters at this hotel therefore expect to deal with your own luggage, they did help us as we had two young children in prams which was nice of them. No iron in the room but we asked house keeping and they gave us one which was very good. Reception is in a different building to the actual room we stayed at. It is located around 5 mins away with no staff in the building, so each time you need to go to reception you have to travel to another building. Generally very good.

Clean room, amazing staff, excellent breakfast
