The hotel exceeded my expectations, the cleanliness is amazing. Staff are very friendly and helpful, the restaurant within the hotel also has a good selection of food all reasonably priced and delicious. The pool was lovely, and the private beach with umbrellas and sun beds was beautiful.

Wonderful staff and property! Very clean and well looked after, quiet area at the end of Saranda and is located right in between the town centre and Ksamil. Rooms were tidied very well ( I always inspect for that), we had an issue with a hair dryer but reception gave us an alternative one promptly. All staff were lovely including housekeeping and kitchen aswell. Overall I am very happy with my choice of staying at El Primero!

Staff and management rude when confronted about over charging at the bar because we are British! Got ripped off on every drink as they charged double the prices printed on the menu and then refused to rectify it when we realised. Extremely unprofessional. Its a shame they feel the need to rip people off.

Our stay at El Primero was nothing short of amazing! The hotel itself was immaculate and in excellent condition. Clean and beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the younger woman behind the front desk! Make sure to ask for beach recommendations! The food was wonderful and the area is great for walking to dinner or dessert!

This relatively new hotel is located at the far end of Sarande, away from the crowd and noise of the main beach which you can drive to. Our room has a balcony overlooking the sea/beach/pool, which we really liked and enjoyed. Breakfast is OK.

It's a bit in the middle of nowhere. You're better off staying in town where everything is because you'll spend a lot of money getting back and forth if you don't have a car. They only serve food during peak season which we were not told during the booking or we wouldn't of stayed there. There is a camp site right next door with campers which is a bit of an eye sore and might be unsafe. Little to no security at night.

I have stayed in various hotels throughout Albania, and this one exceeded all expectations. The rooms were spotless and exactly as depicted online. Similarly, the breakfast was great with a good range of options. I would definitely recommend staying here and booking a room facing the sea! It is outside of the center, but perfectly situated for some relaxation.

Luxe en mooi
Het hotel was super mooi en luxe. Het ontbijt was ook gevarieerd en lekker. Personeel was erg aardig en behulpzaam. De kamer was fijn. Zwembad was mooi en lekker. Strand erbij ook fijn. Geen prachtig zandstrand, kiezel/stenen en liep een beetje omhoog naar de zee.

In a calm zone at the end of the bay of Sarandë which makes it only accessible by car but halfway to ksamil. The pool is really nice and you have free access to the beach with long chairs and umbrellas. The room is really well equipped: our bathroom mirror had a strobing light though and the safe wouldn't work... The staff is nice, the restaurant is good and relatively cheap! The breakfast is nice and varied but could be better: no choice of eggs cold boiled or sunny side up soaked in oil. The ham and cheese could be better. No fresh juice and the coffee is bad.

Excepcional
El hotel está súper limpio, tiene una playa privada para bañarse y ver el sunset sensacional. La comida tanto del buffet como del restaurante está muy buena. Lo único negativo, fue el camarero que servía las cenas, ofrecía mejor trato a los clientes que le dejaban propina haciéndonos sentir incómodos en ciertos momentos. Una pena, porque el resto de personal era de 10!

Buen hotel
Es un buen hotel delante de la playa con una bonita piscina. Desayuno correcto pero con poca variedad, cama muy cómoda y la comida del restaurante bastante buena. La situación es la única pega porque es el primer hotel que hay en Sarande viniendo de Ksamil y está bastante lejos del centro.

Kjempefint nytt hotell med nydelig basseng, rett m stranden og havet. Privat Strand så aldri problemer å få solsenger. Utrolig flott hotell, kjemperent, hyggelig betjening, flott strandbar m god stemning på ettermiddagen. Stille og rolig område, og stille på hotellet på kveldstid. Perfekt for late dager med familien i varmen
