We had already booked accomodation nearby and saw the restaurant when out walking. The restaurant team were lovely, they allowed us to bring our dog inside (out of the rain) and couldn't be friendlier. The food was great, the restaurant warm and staff attentive and helpful. Just wish we had known how great they were before we booked our other accommodation. We would have definitely preferred Amara hotel.

Fabulous hotel, very very clean, food was good, rooms were spotless and the maid service was great. Only downside would be the amount of work going on in the area but obviously this is to improve the area. The promenade is so clean and all the bars and restaurants look well looked after, we would definitely recommend

Firstly I cannot fault the cleanliness of this hotel,bar staff and waiting on staff were good but this is really all I can praise. . No kettle in room . Abysmal food , choice of 4 dishes , always lukewarm. . No milk . No tea . No butter We were checked in by a young guy who virtually threw the key card at us. Didn't tell us room number, floor or how to find our room Next day the receptionist told me we were only allowed 1 key as the hotel was full and they dont have spares??? This was once she'd got off her phone ! All inclusive only available at beach bar until 10pm Wi-fi was shocking kept dropping out, very annoying Dinner was served until 9.30pm , we went down at 8.25pm , all tureens empty with no signs of replenishment. We waited a while then went to a restaurant down on the *****. Beach was nice as was beach bar with friendly staff. Albania is a beautiful country , we will be back but not to this hotel ! This is not worthy of 4 stars !

I am a recurrent client at Amara Spa. Its always a warm welcoming from the spa team with absolute great service. The Amara Spa manager Mrs Alexandra is exeptional person and very professional. All the team Mary Ann, Olga and Olga are always smiley and happy to help. The massages provided are amazing and also the spa areas are so private, calming and inspiring. its always has been a unique experience for me.

Regarding the cleanliness of the hotel, we have no complaints, but everything else was absolutely unacceptable. This hotel does not meet the requirements for a 4-star establishment at all. The food was terrible. No variety whatsoever, every day it was exactly the same and poorly prepared. The hotel’s beach was also appalling, with extremely dirty water. On top of that, people were eating and throwing their trash into the sea, spitting in the pool, and so on – we were truly disgusted.
One of the days during our stay was rainy, so we decided to use the spa or gym, which the hotel claims to have, but neither of them actually existed.
We would never visit again!!!

Hotel is new. Rooms are good, my one was with sea view. Good size, nice bathroom, good quality beds... Position is good, it's seafront. Nice and big enough beach. Perfect fo families with young kids. Onli one BIG minus is restoran and food. It's so basic and every day pretty much the same. They need to offer lot more different kind of food. For example, they are family hotel, but they do not offer kids no.1 food like pizza, fries, choco/vanilla puding, mus... For me food was really disappointing detail... Improve that and you will be TOP

The hotel offers a beautiful view and is very clean – rooms are cleaned daily with regular towel and bed linen changes. The beach staff is extremely friendly, and the food is decent, although a bit repetitive. A big downside was the use of plastic cups in the restaurant, which doesn't match the overall hotel standard. We also had a small issue with check-in – we were given an already-occupied room twice. Fortunately, this was resolved the next day, and we were assigned the correct room according to our booking. Overall, a good stay with a few minor issues.
06.07.2025 Guest
The food was very limited in variety and most of the staff were very unfriendly. They always seemed to be doing a "favor" when serving customers. They close the pool at 6:30 PM, even forcing customers to leave. The spa is not operating. The only redeeming quality is the room service, which is always clean.
29.06.2025 Jonathane
Great hotel. Nice rooms, reasonable breakfast. The strongest suit is how amazing the staff are, from reception, to housekeeping to waiters and kitchen staff. Defo location is also important as it’s close to the main roads to the airport.
However, there is a downside, which is the beach crew. They will try to rip you off and make you pay for the towel (10€) even though we were guests at the hotel.
This lead to unpleasant conversations and nearly arguing in front of other beach goers., which was completely unnecessary.
Still, I give it five starts because overall had a great stay. Thank you team Amara!

Spa closed (although advertised), deckchairs removed mid-week (while we still had 25 degrees), we had to go to a nearby hotel to enjoy the deckchairs (paying of course) Construction site on the beach, not cleaned. Stained cover, broken curtains. The staff should work considerably on their posture (smile 😃 😃, and the receptionists very often on their cell phones (we feel like we are disturbing if we have to ask them) I also recommend brochures, advice for excursions at reception... otherwise manage with the internet (which we did) Location: really close to the highway. While walking in the evening, we were able to enjoy entertainment (pianists, music) from several neighboring hotels. Too bad, hotel with potential to exploit!
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
