Rapo's Resort Hotel

This is a really nice resort hotel. Really big 25m pool and all other facilities that especially for Albania was very impressive. They offer an extensive amazing buffet breakfast with pretty much everything you could ask for and delicious coffee. Unfortunately being a resort it comes with all the other rules - no bringing food in fro outside, at the pool you can only order pizza, so even thought the restaurant is right there you cant order from the restaurant and eat at the pool. Just bizarre. Loads of really nice staff - especially Ina at reception and Abrey - he was our favourite. There is a little playground for children with an enclosed trampoline and even a lady who does yoga in the morning and also games for children. The beach right near the hotel is great and really is a 2 minute walk - although golf carts are offered its not necessary. Once you are on the beach there is a Rapos bar, a Rapos fast food and a Rapos restaurant so you really don't need to go anywhere else. Its really expensive though - from the hotel restaurant to the beach bar and restaurant its crazy stuff. Very attentive staff though and very clean well looked after toilets at the beach. Where we found the hotel a let down was the rooms - small rooms with small bathrooms and tiny showers - need a revamp. But the worst was definitely the aircon situation. The hotel rooms get so hot that the staff that do the rooms close the black out curtains to stop the heat. The aircon is centralised and is not cold. We complained multiple times but apart from getting the airconditioning company in there is nothing they can do because yes the fan works but the air is not cold. It was really a problem all week as it was 34 degrees. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel’s beach and pool areas are probably the best in the country due to the sheer size and quiet that they offer. The rooms are a reasonable price and spacious, furthermore the sea is cold but one of the cleanest of the south. Overall my experience at the Rapos Resort was wonderful and looking forward to going again.
