To help you better receive my opinion, I would like to add that I am writing it as a parent of a 4-year-old child, we do not party at discos, we generally value peace. At the outset, let me just say that if you are wondering whether to take a hotel in Durres or in Golem, take a hotel in Golem! In Durres, a huge crowd, crowds of people, traffic jams. Golem is peace and you can get to Durres in half an hour by bus or 15 minutes TAXI if you want to see the city. Hotel: 4 stars for Albanian conditions actually correspond to the comfort of 4 stars. The hotel is small, intimate, but thanks to this, there was no problem with free sunbeds at the pool or on the beach (private hotel beach). Also, there were no lines in the dining room. Cleanliness: at a high level, it was hard to fault anything. Rooms cleaned every day, hotel parts also cleaned regularly. Pools: three pools, one with a children's pool (warm water), one for adults only, and a third indoor pool. Unfortunately, the water is freezing in the indoor pool, but a little tip for you - there is a shower with a mirror by this pool, you can dare to embrace it on the last day after checking out of the room, while waiting for transport to the airport. There were plenty of sun loungers at the pool, although you have to take into account that we were in the period June 6-13, i.e. before the strict season. Free towels against a card. It can be replaced even several times a day. Beach: less than 2 minutes away from the hotel, literally over the road (road not very busy). Beach clean, sunbeds in good condition, not broken, as is the case in other hotels, sandy beach, gentle descent to the sea, about a meter of pebbles at the bottom, and then a sandy bottom. The water in the sea in June is warm. Clear water. There is a hotel employee on the beach all the time who takes care of all things related to the beach (for example, he reacts when begging people appeared). Water hose to wash off the sand at the entrance / exit to the beach. Bars: one, at the reception. The second beach bar is just under construction, but this bar is not all-inclusive as agreed. Staff: very nice, not all of them speak English, but in general there is no problem to get along, be it at the reception or at the bar. In the bar you can communicate effectively even in Polish. Food: for a small, intimate 4-star hotel - I was positively surprised. First of all, food is GOOD - and this is the most important thing. Eating a lot, if there was a shortage of something, they added something quickly. Delicious soups, fries dripping excessively fat - that's the downside. Quite a large selection of meals, of course not the same as eg in Egypt in a 5 star hotel, but definitely sufficient! You can really eat something different every day. Ice cream free from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Drinks, drinks: and here another positive surprise, drinks like Cola, Fanta, Sprite, original bottles, which is rather rare in all-inclusive 4-star hotels. Delicious coffee.
