Poda Boutique Hotel in Ksamil

We stayed 5 nights at this hotel during peak season and had an amazing experience! The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable, but what truly made our stay so special was the staff especially Tana.

Tana went above and beyond every single day – always warm, friendly, and ready with the best restaurant recommendations. She answered all of our questions and requests with genuine care and made us feel so welcome. She really set the vibe for our whole trip. Aziz at the beach club was also fantastic, helping us navigate the beach chairs and making sure we were comfortable.

And we can’t say enough about Florella, Dori, and the entire team at Poda Restaurant – the food was the best we had in town, and the service was just as impressive.

The location cannot be beat – it’s literally 10 steps from your room to the beach. Because it was peak season, the hotel and restaurant were very busy, definitely book early to avoid missing out!

Five nights flew by, and we left already wanting to come back. Highly recommend!

I only used the lounge bed with hammock which was expensive, 50 euro for the day but it fit all 3 of us and it felt luxurious so well worth it. Our waiter was lovely as well. The drinks did seem a little watered down. Unfortunately my phone fell into the water in between the gap of the hammock and bed which was my fault of course but I would recommend that they fill that gap in with more netting in future to prevent this from happening to others.

We stayed at the Poda Boutique Hotel this summer and it was simply an unforgettable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the moment we arrived, we felt extremely welcome. A special mention goes to Tanna, who was always incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive – she truly made us feel at home. Her sister in the restaurant was also very warm and made sure every wish was taken care of.

The rooms were outstanding: very spacious, spotless, modern, and with a stunning sea view. Our room even had a jacuzzi, which made the stay extra special. The room service was excellent and always reliable.

The pool area was fantastic – clean, well-maintained, and the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Breakfast was another highlight: a huge selection of fresh and delicious options, with something for everyone. It was the perfect way to start the day. The waiters were always friendly, attentive, and professional.

The location of the hotel is also ideal – peaceful, yet close enough to everything you might need.

All in all, it was a perfect stay – from the spacious rooms with jacuzzi and sea view, to the pool, breakfast, and the warm hospitality. We will definitely come back and can highly recommend this hotel to everyone!

I spent two nights at the Poda Boutique Hotel and had a fantastic time. The rooms are super modern, clean, and incredibly comfortable. I wanted to lie at the beach for two days, and this was a perfect location. As a hotel guest, you get free access to their beach club and day beds. You also get a really great breakfast spread in the morning.

Tana, the front desk manager, was absolutely incredible. So helpful and kind- from the moment I arrived, they helped me get situated, recommended great restaurants, and helped arrange my taxi to get back to the ferry the next day. She is the star of the hotel and made my stay fantastic.

Ksamil is a beautiful beach town, but like many of the Greek Islands, it is also a party town and tourist destination, so at night, you can hear the music from the clubs on the water. This didn't bother me, and it was pretty muffled from my hotel room and seemed to be done at 11:30/midnight- but I just wanted to name that- but most people coming to Ksamil and wanting to stay right on the water can't do better than Poda.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel! The property was clean, the food was consistently good, and the entire staff was warm and friendly. One team member in particular, Tana, truly stood out. She went above and beyond her call of duty every single day.

Every morning, Tana would check in with us, asking how the rest of our day went after her shift ended. She always had a smile on her face and offered helpful recommendations on places to eat and visit. Her genuine care and attention made us feel so welcomed and cared for. Honestly, she deserves a raise!

The only slight downside was that the hotel is located across the street from some bars, and the music at night was a bit louder than we would’ve liked. Still, this didn’t take away from the overall experience. The hotel was a beautiful choice, and we’re truly glad we stayed here. Highly recommended!

Beautiful and immaculate hotel with one of the best beaches in Ksamil! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the breakfast was the best in Albania! I would definitely recommend.

The best receptionist ever. Great service, fantastic location and a good hotel. Value for money.

We had the most amazing stay at Poda Boutique! We were originally staying at a hotel a bit further from the beach but once we saw Poda we knew we had to stay!! Special thanks to Tana for such a seamless last-minute booking and giving us the time of our lives in Ksamil. She was so helpful and did everything she could to make sure our stay was incredible. We will definitely be back.

One of the most wonderful Hotels in Albania with a beautiful beach bar, very tasteful food, good vines and super service.
With the beach just next to the hotel absolutely a worth to visit.
