Resorts in Albanië

"Just generally one of those special places that will stick in my memory forever. A collection of pretty little cabins by the beach surrounded by palm trees with hammocks slung between them for whiling away the days. With only the sounds of birds and waves. Where everyone just hangs out and chats, the staff, the other guests, the extremely interesting and gregarious owner Gregory (no pun intended). I could spend a week here just forgetting about the outside world. The various arrangements (airport transfer, transfer back to town, activities) all went smoothly as well. Which is my no means guaranteed in this part of the world."

Not much but if I went again I'd maybe pay a little more for the room with ensuite shower rather than sharing a communal shower with non locking door. Obviously this is budget accommodation in West Africa so it's of the rustic eco lodge variety rather than the western style hotel room variety in case anyone is expecting that.

"It was very clean and there was a range of different food and drink options which were all great. The staff were super friendly. The room was comfortable and spacious with a great view from our balcony."

Nothing!

"Great location, nice beach, very good food, versatile facilities, very good for families."

Organised tours available for guests from tourist agencies, for self organised guests rent-a-car is the only option for sightseeing. Some facilities require better maintenance.

"Bürgenstock Hotel & Apline Spa is een ongelofelijk groot en bijzonder indrukwekkend hotel met - uitgezonderd bij de regelmatig voorkomende laaghangende mist - een HEEL! bijzonder uitzicht op het meer van Lucern. Het hotel kent verschillende restaurants en een uitgebreid sauna-complex. Het uitzicht vanuit de infinity-pool van de Alpine Spa is absoluut uniek te noemen... En de massages waren echt ongelofelijk fijn! Prachtige kamers, die goed te verduisteren zijn, voorzien van alle gewenste luxe."

Voor de goede orde: we hadden een top-verblijf. De kritiek die we hieronder uitspreken is daarom relatief. Het diner met 'Window Seating' in het Aziatische restaurant Spices was goed, de wijnkaart is uitgebreid en de sommelier wist ons te verrassen met een (uiterst schaarse) Pinot Noir van Gantenbein. Toch hebben we het diner als 'een beetje massaal' ervaren, mede als gevolg van de 'vaste tijdslots' en de 'vriendelijke druk' om toch vooral voor het vaste menu te kiezen. Geen groot punt van kritiek, maar dit paste voor ons gevoel niet helemaal bij het niveau van dit bijzondere hotel. Overigens... bij de (werkelijk indrukwekkend uitzicht!) Window Seating in het kleinschaliger Parisa-restaurant hadden we die beleving totaal niet.

"Prachtige accommodatie in parkomgeving. Mooie ruime kamers en een super service"

Niets

"I have never been to a Taj before, so I have nothing to compare it to. The lobby is impressive and the location with direct access to the beach is great. The staff is lovely and the housekeeping do so much for you, Saudtha I believe, checked on us regularly and brought us more water or towels."

When a twin is converted into a double room, one of the guests end up without space to put their things and the light switches are at the wrong place.

"Ligging, karakter van hotel hoe ze met natuurbehoud en recycling omgaan. Meest nog dat het hotel werk biedt aan mensen met een medisch rugzak(je)."

Badkamer had iets schoner gekund.

"The amazing view, in front of the ocean, good value for money and friendly staff."

Aucun.

"Mooie locatie met veel faciliteiten. Dicht bij het strand en veel zwembaden. Hotelkamers zijn prima."

Van het eten had ik wel wat meer verwacht. Het middag en avond buffet zijn niet echt top. Veel kwantitief voedsel, kan wel wat aan verbeterd worden.

"It is a great place to travel with kids, as everybody have lots of activities to enjoy in the same place, allowing you to have nice family time."

Aucun.

"Josh, the owner and his ccrew are phantastic! Thanks for everything, we gonna miss you!"

Everything was lovely!

"The hotel is located very close to the beach, you can also use the outdoor and indoor pool. The indoor pool is especially nice when the weather is colder. The price also includes a nice wellness. It is great to have the option to buy lunch and dinner. All the food was excellent."

"Proposed to my girlfriend on the 23/02/26 on the beach in front of our lagoon Bangalow, and she said YES"

Nothing

"The villa setup gives real privacy and calm, and the resort layout on the hillside feels like a Mediterranean-style village. You use the resort shuttle to get around, but it’s easy and well organised. All-inclusive was genuinely excellent, especially the cocktails. We tried two restaurants and the steak restaurant (The Deck) was a standout. Staff were exceptional: warm, relaxed and genuinely helpful. They also did a thoughtful birthday touch which felt personal. A small but adorable detail: they have cute little sunbeds for kids on the beach."

Not a dislike, but good to know - because it’s built on a hill, you’ll use the resort shuttle frequently, but it’s part of what creates the privacy and views.

"Ubicación excelente, el personal muy amable. Las habitaciones muy cómodas. El personal es realmente muy amable y sabe tratar muy bien al huésped"

En el gimnasio no funcionaban las maquinas. La habitación está bien es limpia y cómoda pero se podría actualizar un poco la decoración. Por ser un resort en el precio podría estar incluido el desayuno

"The location is ideal for a first-time traveler to Kokopo it is right in the center of the city. Staff is friendly and helpful. The food is good, and the restaurant well located for a good view to the now quiet volcano in Rabaul and the Duke of York islands during the day."

Aucun.

"The kids loved the pool facilities. Miss Tandin and Me Shyam on the desk were particularly helpful. They arranged to meet our needs with a pleasant smile. The room service was excellent and well trained. Thank you all"

The location was a little to the edge of the city but that may be a good thing for some looking for peace & quiet. The decor is a bit dated

"Reasonable rate price&quality, friendly personal, clean hotel&rooms"

Aucun.

"The breakfast was good and well balanced. The place has very beautiful villas. I like the privacy that the place provided. Great views. Great scenery Staff are very kind and professional. Language is a barrier especially if you are an English speaker. Very clean place. Great music at the La Marine restaurant. Great restaurant staff. Great food"

Despite the well balanced breakfast, I ate the same breakfast for the entire period of my stay. This was predictable and monotonous . The breakfast was standard, meaning that I had no choice in terms of portion, variety and pricing. I expected to find cooking pots and utensils in the kitchen to allow me the option of cooking and preparing anything . I wish the hotel provided information on places to be visited within the vicinity and information regarding the most recent COP29

"I really liked the room, the facilities, and the entire complex. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well organized. Every team member was amazing—professional, friendly, and always helpful."

There was nothing significant to complain about. Overall, the experience met and even exceeded my expectations.

"It was very clean and there was a range of different food and drink options which were all great. The staff were super friendly. The room was comfortable and spacious with a great view from our balcony."

Nothing!

"Wonderful little resort in a tropical garden, spacious room, very friendly staff"

The resort is not in walking distance to San Ignacio. You need a car (and worse a parking spot) to go there. This makes you dependent on the hotel‘s facilities and restaurant. Be aware that the breakfast included only means a small selection of breakfast choices. Whenever you want something extra eg eggs you pay extra! You pay a 10% „service charge“ on everything, even on the organization of tours, which is quite a ripoff. I did some activities organized by the hotel. These tours (especially the mayan cooking class) are real good, however as a single I had to pay for two people (minus a small discount). Moreover, tax & „service charge“ were added to the net prices mentioned in the flyer. Taken together this makes these tours unacceptably expensive.

"Ligging zeer rustig aan de golfbaan dichtbij de luchthaven. Mooie nieuwe kamers met alle voorzieningen en uitzicht over de golfbaan. Gratis parkeren. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel en goed restaurant voor prima prijs. Wat wil je nog meer?"

Aucun.

"Prachtig resort, heerlijk ontbijt, fijne spa, sauna en het zwembad met fijne ligzetels is heerlijk op een warme dag. In het restaurant kun je heel lekker eten Personeel is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam."

"De huisjes waar je in verbleef zijn in mijn ogen perfect! Lekker bed met ruimte badkamer. Daarbij een koelkastje, waterkoker en een broodrooster. Dus je kunt ook je eigen ontbijtje maken. Daarbij een fijn terras om buiten te zitten."

niets

"Heel Gastvrij, men nam de tijd om ons welkom te heten en naar de tafel te brengen. Er was een heel groot gevarieerd aanbod aan ontbijt inclusief meerdere glutenvrije opties. Bij de ontbijtbar was het mogelijk om specifieke wensen te vermelden en eieren zoals eggs benedict. Ook de handdoekservice bij het zwembad en privestrand was geweldig."

De prijzen van de restaurants zijn wat aan de hoge kant. De cocktails mochten wat gevarieerder zijn in aabod. Parkeertarief voor de auto valt tegen en zou inclusief mogen zijn.

"Great nature and views. The villa we stayed in was renovated and very clean. The food was also very delicious!"

Aucun.

"I had never been to an all inclusive resort before and was sceptical and personally probably will never do it again but nothing to do with the Bareclo, simply my preference but the resort was totally amazing considering the price. I had one of the bungalows which has large vey well decorated and very comfortable likewise the bathroom. Considering the size of the resort the WiFi was excellent . I never used the pool which was huge but instead the beach and swam several times The beach is stunning and spotlessly clean as to the gardens they are stunning and so well kept. The staff were so friendly and helpful especially so the ones in the dining room I have never seen such a volume of food being served ( and consumed !) in such vast qualities and the staff there in my view were so patient considering what they were dealing with! Overall I cannot fault the resort in any major way you get amazing value for money … congratulations to Barcelo"

The checking in process is very unwieldy on arrival I joined a queue of at least 50 people I got there in the early afternoon and they simply would not let anyone in to their room before 3 pm And surely some of rooms were really and why allow check ins as was available . This is not the first time I have come across this attitude The resort is large and at first it was difficult to find your bungalow as it’s not overly well signposted The was an entertainment lady around the pool screaming down a microphone … why is that necessary ? Overall it was a great stay Well done Barcelo

"Breakfast was excellent, staff was friendly, pools and sea possibility was truly excellent. Very big and safe place to be. Security was in very good level. Lovely site."

Only couple of persons spoke english. Several restaurants in hotel, but you could only book online with one. When you come to hotel everything is in spanish, luckily I had colleague who could speak spanish so he was able to translate how to book breakfast, lunches and dinners etc.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Peaceful Retreat with Exceptional Hospitality We had a wonderful stay at Ramgarh Lodge. The breakfast was absolutely excellent — fresh, delicious, and with a lovely variety each morning. The staff were extremely courteous, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, which made our stay even more special. The location is beautifully quiet and serene, away from the hustle of the city. Surrounded by nature and heritage charm, it felt like a perfect peaceful escape. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend Ramgarh Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay."

"Comfortabele bedden , goed zwembad en supervriendelijk personeel"

Douche was wel heel klein

"A fun and colourful resort close to Grenada airport. We stayed here for a few nights at the start of our trip to Grenada and really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and reasonably comfortable; it had nice doors out with direct pool access and even had a small kitchenette. The grounds of the hotel are well thought out and it's nice to have the choice of pools, each with different views and vibes! The restaurant is great and we had some delicious meals, "Street Food Wednesday" was a highlight of our trip! There was also a wide range of tours and activities; we did a full island tour which was really worth it."

There are limited amenities near this hotel - other than the university, there is no town/restaurants/beach to walk to. The hotel was great and organizing taxis however and there is a free shuttle to the beach!

"They were extremely kind and a member of staff even bought a bracelet for our daughter"

"This motel was a wonderful surprise! The location is excellent, and the entire place is exceptionally clean. The room design is elegant and tasteful, creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere. Everything felt very well cared for, and the cleanliness really stood out. Highly recommended!"

If I had to mention one small area for improvement, it would be the layout — the bed is a bit close to the entrance door, which made the space feel slightly tight at times.

"Grote kamer met goede bedden. We hadden op ons verzoek een open tussendeur tussen de twee gereserveerde kamers, wat erg handig was. Veel keuze bij buffetrestaurant. Je mag ook een keer in ieder a la carte restaurant eten als je er een week verblijft. Je kon op meerdere plekken een flesje water vullen. Erg handig op warme dagen. Ook lagen er op een aantal plekken o.a. sandwiches en kipnuggets om mee te nemen. Er werd ook niet moeilijk gedaan als je daarmee op pad ging."

We waren er in de eerste week van mei. De beloofde airco's op de kamers waren overal in het hotel nog buitenwerking vanwege vroegseizoen. Daardoor moesten de ramen de hele avond en nacht open, doordat het erg warm was op de kamers. Er was erg veel lawaai van straatverkeer. En ook een erg irritant hotelmuziekje bij de ingang van het hotel dat tot 0.00 uur luid aan stond en zelf op de vijfde verdieping aan de zijkant van het hotel nog hoorbaar was. Het personeel was erg behulpzaam. We kregen een ventilator na onze klacht over de airco. Maar ze konden niets aan het hotelmuziekje doen. Het eten in het buffetrestaurant was niet altijd even warm. En bij de start van het avondbuffetrestaurant stonden vaak lange rijen.
