  : - Very clean, comfortable and spacius holiday resort - Not many guests there - Good WiFi - Large Pool - Parking available

If you are hungry you must eat at the only one available restaurant. Next city is Shkodra with a 50-60 min. drive by car. - Reachable only with car or travel group (bus) - Breakfast is very simple and max. average - Lots of areas in the hotel are abandoned

  : To be honest: absolutely nothing.
  : We chose this place, as most of the other hotels in Shkodra looked a little shady. So we decided to go for this fancier (and way more expensive) option and to have 2 days to relax by the pool and enjoy a nice room. We couldnt have regretted more booking this place. Upon arrival we realized that it looked abandoned. After high season you share the place with travel groups that are spit out of big busses at night and leave in the morning. One of the first things the receptionist told us during check in was that the pool cannot be used. We were surprised and she literally told us: Well you could use it, just have a look at it from your balcony and decide for yourself. It was just disgusting and turned greener every day we were there. All the facilities around the pool (a few sunbeds and sofas) were dirty, full ash trays around. Our room itself was clean, but definitely not comfortable. No such thing as a lamp or a reading light anywhere, just super bright spot lights. Either it had been a smokers room or the guests before us had smoked in there. As we didnt want to spend a second longer than necessary here, we booked a tour to Shala river the next day. We had to leave at 7am, so i asked if we could have breakfast or at least a small bowl of msli a few minutes before the official breakfast start at 7am. The receptionist told me that this is not a problem at all. Well, it was. There was nobody there at 7am. When finally someone showed up, i was unfriendly told to wait. We could then try the breakfast on our last day. It is just disgusting, dont even try. Everythings cold, greasy, low quality. I had to spit out the cappuccino as it tasted sour. When staying in Shkodra this should be your last option. It wasnt more than a very basic room to sleep for us, definitely not your high class resort stay.
