Der Service beim Frühstück beschränkte sich auf die freundliche Anwesenheit des Personals. Den Roomservice haben wir ebenfalls nur durch die Anwesenheit wahrgenommen.

Personally, I think the property is quite new, as there were still stickers on some of the items. Everything was provided, including an iron and a hair dryer. Shops, restaurants, and fast-food places were all within walking distance. We spent a day in Sarandë and stayed there overnight.

"Great hotel with direct beach access! The rooms are on the smaller side, and the AC struggled a little, but otherwise we had a really nice stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The best part is the location, you’re literally right on the beach, which makes it perfect for a relaxing seaside stay."

"I had a wonderful stay at Meliá Durrës. The rooms were spacious, modern, and spotless, and the cleanliness across the whole resort was outstanding. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and the pools were beautiful and well maintained. The beach was peaceful and perfect for a relaxing holiday. Unfortunately, the food fell short of the rest of the experience and didn't quite match the high standards set elsewhere in the resort. A few improvements in the dining options would make this a truly five-star stay."
