The venue's position on Rruga 61/2 places it within walking distance of Saranda's Old Town while maintaining secluded resort amenities.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and truly enjoyed every moment. The sea view is absolutely beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious and fresh every morning. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. What made our stay extra special was the kindness and helpfulness of the staff, especially TONI . He went above and beyond to help us. This level of care and hospitality is rare and truly unforgettable. Thank you so much, Toni, for your kindness and support. We felt very welcome and taken care of. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Saranda. We will definitely come back again!
