El Primero Hotel

Stayed here for nine nights end of August/beginning of September. We chose a room with sea view balcony and it was stunning. The hotel and facilities are immaculately clean. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. The cleaning staff who turned our room around daily were fantastic. The breakfast and lunches we had were good. The beach is just on the doorstep and there is no charge for sun loungers for guests. The main town of Sarande is a 10 minute drive away but there are a number of restaurants in walking distance of the hotel. Would definitely recommend!!

Me and my husband stayed in El Primero hotel for 6 nights and we really enjoyed it! The staff are all very helpful and friendly, especially the lovely gentleman manning the reception. Everything is brand new and EXTREMELY clean (and we have very high standards for cleanliness). Lovely view of sea from the room. Infinity pool, the sea and the pebble beach are gorgeous. Sun beds on the beach free for hotel guests. Free beach towels daily at the hotel. There are many cool restaurants and bars within a few minute walk from the hotel. Overall, our stay was fabulous, there were only a few minor things that we would probably recommend to improve - there is no iron and ironing board to borrow in the hotel, the restaurant doesn’t offer any wine by glass only by bottle (strange) and the food could be a little better. Lastly, the beach bar starts playing party music so loud every afternoon that there is no place to escape it if you don’t want to listen to it, not sure why they do that there is no beach party going on just people enjoying their afternoon drinks/coffees and families with kids …

I inquired about an issue with my stay. Without responding they charged my card before my stay even was scheduled to take place.
