01 · In a sentence

Hotel Oasis in Saranda, open JuneOctober.

Hotel Oasis sits along Albania's Ionian coastline in Saranda, commanding views of crystal-blue waters and limestone cliffs that rise dramatically from the shore.

The hotel's whitewashed architecture and Mediterranean gardens frame the Ionian Sea, with the Greek islands visible across the water on clear days.

This waterfront location offers 360-degree views that serve as both ceremony backdrop and reception ambiance throughout the celebration.

Nasty hotel. Far from the water . You got to pay every day extra $60 to the beach for a spot. Discussing breakfast . The worse albanian food ever. I was sordounded by dirty towels ; sheets and ignorant housekeeping every time using a small elevators and walking in the hallways. Safe do not work and you feel unsafe Far from main area of the city . Walking in sidewalk from that hotel is unsafe 💀. Everyday family is watching when you come in / out - no privacy Don't recommend this hotel to anyone
