Great room and bathroom size. Excellent view from beach front. Breakfast was good with a great variety but seem like you had to eat early as hotel only put out so much. Pool area and swim area had plenty of room and chairs for everyone. There is a cafe down stairs if drinks or coffee is wanted by the beach.

Nice location, nice pool, needs some work though

The hotel comes with a nice, clean pool (which was never crowded) and a beautiful view towards Corfu. Breakfast is simple but nice and the staff were all friendly. Lots of lunch and dinner options nearby (there is no food except for breakfast at the hotel) We found the beds to be uncomfortable and in the 2 bedroom suites, only one of the rooms has A/C. Some rooms have renovated bathrooms but if you are unlucky like us, the old bathrooms are very run down, nowhere to hang towels and no shower curtains so water goes everywhere. It's okay for a few days in Sarande for a fsmily with kids.

Beautiful location, directly on the sea. We booked a sea view room and had wonderful views for seven nights watching cruise ships on the horizon and yachts coming in to the new harbor area. Breakfast buffet was good and had many selections, however there is no restaurant on-site for lunch and dinner, as listed incorrectly on Expedia. There are many dining options nearby. On-site bar is very convenient (cash-only) and has great views too. You can relax and sunbathe at the pool (many lounge chairs are available) or out on the rocky outcropping that juts out directly on the Ionian sea. The room itself is very modern and clean, however the safe is too small and can be picked up and taken away. Overall a great experience at this hotel.

Overall, a great hotel with a superb location: direct access to the beach (not sand) and beautiful pool area. The restaurant has a great view of the sea and the hotel (only rooms with sea view) have a great view. Hotel is well located with restaurants and shopping areas around the corner, “downtown” Saranda is a good ten-minute walk away. Receptionist called taxis upon request. Breakfast buffet was decent. All in all good stay. However, the pool area and the beach area, which both included lounge beds and chairs, were left carelessly and did not get cleaned up at night or seemingly in general. The beds had stains all over them, were left randomly around the area, and seemed to not be well taken care of. No trash cans at the beach area, which meant trash and bottles strewn around. You can only pay cash at the bar, which is inconvenient. Few vegetarian options at the restaurant. The reception was not staffed at night and we had to wait to get help with an unknown noise (turned out it was a bird that had nested in the roof). All in all, a good concept but not well executed.

The property is a nice 20 minute walk to the promenade with lots of restaurants/bars/shops along the way. There is an area with beach chairs and cute bar down by the water on a platform. There is a very small “beach” where you are able to walk into the water. The pool is very deep but nice (bring a floaty). Breakfast was nice and the restaurant on site we enjoyed. The staff was great and the food was lovely! Couple weird things… you can’t bring outside food in to your room or by the beach. I found that very strange. Also when I returned my wet beach towels I was told I should be keeping them multiple days. At the price point I found it rude and she was not pleasant in general. Everyone else was extremely nice. Overall we liked the hotel but if I had to plan again I may go with something with an actual beach closer to the promenade. It’s a little misrepresented by the description but definitely checks all the boxes.

Friendly staff good location need more renovation from inside rooms, we were not allowed to eat in rooms, we had to pay for our capaccino, tea was cold eggs were cold, the breakfast was beyond average. Same items everyday. The staff made our stay pleasant other than that it was very annoying that we had to have cold food and coffee and tea.

We came originally for a friend’s wedding in Tirana, but decided to do a little vacation for ourselves, since we came to Albania. The drive was spectacular, Albania and the roads scenery are absolutely gorgeous. However since it’s our first time in Albania we noticed that a lot of buildings were unfinished throughout the country. We were pleasantly surprised that Sarande Palace was an exception, the building is situated towards the end of the boulevard which gives the most beautiful sunset view and quietness, as the busy section of Sarande is very noisy. Ory - the receptionist went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant and perfect. She seriously runs the place and cares for the service they provide to guests. Ory gave us tips and recommendations for pretty much anything we asked, she even offered laundry and dry cleaning services if needed. The pool was clean and big, they have plenty of beds and cabanas available for guests in the beach area. The restaurant and the bars provided very good food and cocktails. The service was on a high level and the prices were competitive. The view from room balcony was spectacular. The rooms were clean, updated and thoughtfully furnished. If you are going to Sarande book this hotel, it’s worth every penny and you would have an amazing time and beautiful memories. Five stars hands down. Thank you, Ory and Sarande Palace team.

Caveat Emptor: pix & description misleading

Chose it based on description & pix. At best half-truths. Pool was green w/trash floating in it. Asked if it'd be cleaned: told it wasn't yet open. No loungers by pool. Pool bar was set up but told not open. Ad photo shows wide beach & direct sea access.THAT beach is a different hotel's beach: warned by reception not to access it. Saranda Palace has NO beach.Do have an elevated platform with sand & dozen wooden loungers. For 2 days no cushions, no shades. Access to that area from pool deck was past a stand being built, nails & wood pieces strewn about. Access to the sea itself? Via a rusty ladder or crumbling cement steps onto a dirty tiny rocky strip not big enough to lay down on. Sign in WC says "towels not to leave room" but 3 calls to reception? No answer so no idea where pool towels were when we wanted to lie out. Toiletries & towels on the bed but only a bottom sheet. Had to find & put on the top sheet & comforter. First time ever I had to make a hotel bed on arrival! Room is stylish (if small) but our "side bay view" was of elevator shaft & neighboring hotel: peek of bay. Asked for a view: told none avail (clearly untrue as there were v few guests. Breakfast not until 8 am. 20 people on a tour asking for coffee: staff went to market to buy beans. Someone asked for a cappuccino: staffer went to buy milk. An Italian woman commented: "Didn't they know they were going to have guests?" Wait staff embarrassed & apologetic. Find a better run hotel, honest management.

Flot hotel med en god beliggenhed lige ud til Middelhavet. Gode faciliteter herunder en stor pool og strand med bar. Morgenmaden var ikke den bedste kvalitet og der mangler større udvalg herunder yoghurt og cereal. Og morgenmadsområdet trænger til en kærlig hånd, da stole og borde er af ældre dato. Men på trods af dette gives de bedste anbefalinger herfra.
