We booked this hotel for 9nights, looking for a quiet and relaxing adults only hotel. The hotel's own website advertises it as 'our resort is designed to provide guests with a relaxing and rejuvenating experience' and this was just what we needed.
This hotel does not live up to its own description.
When we arrived we were checked in and went up to our room, amazing views across the pool to the sea, on the surface it was lovely.
We grabbed our stuff and headed down to the pool side, to relax... This vibe was short lived, within an hour a DJ had set up and the music was unbearably loud! The music could be heard across the whole hotel, and all the way down to the beach, there was nowhere to escape it! Even in our room the music was so loud, I took a recording on a decibel reader, it registered at 100bD, IN OUR ROOM WITH THE DOOR CLOSED!!!!!
We were promised by all the staff, including the hotel manager, that this was a one off and the 'serenity in Sarande' would return tomorrow, this was not the case! EVERYDAY without fail the volume of the music ramped up at 2pm and continued until 8pm, it was honestly unbearable! There was no respite... We spoke to the manager on numerous occasions about the noise and the fact that we had only booked the hotel because of their own advertising, she offered us champagne and lunch, neither of which we took, as to be honest the only thing that would have made the situation better was the volume dial being turned down!
