Reviews of Hotel Apollon Sarande 4 stars

Great staff especially Diana

Nothing

Breathtaking view from the breakfast balcony… Worth every single penny, just to wake up to that glorious view every morning!

The parking was always full, and you had to leave your car keys with a valet, who parked the car for you once a slot freed up. The ridiculously high prices for the sunbeds in the hotel’s private beach…. They should be free for guests. The lowest price you could get for simple sunbeds in a crowded area was 25€ (with guest discount already applied!)

I would say the hotel is better than its rated, that's why I give 10...

Staff, hotel, food, everything was amazing

Everything

Breakfast

Clean, once you get around it seems pretty easy. Within reach of the beach, and the centre is just a little walk away.

Family room had the air conditioner a little old fashioned and the balcony was wet all the time, Family bathroom could have been done better.

Lovely beach-club with friendly staff, breakfast was good quality food but a little chaotic, comfortable room, well serviced, nice restaurants nearby. Great view from the bar/ breakfast area

Part of the hotel need finishing,

The hotel is very nice, with a great view from the restaurant. It also has a private beach with sunbeds if that is your thing. The room was very clean and breakfast was quite good.

This is just a thing that happened in our case but the fridge in our room made an annoying noise all the time, particularly annoying at night. Otherwise all good 😊

The staff was great, we got the room we wanted and they were helpful a lot when we needed. The private beach was stunning! And we loved there is restaurant there. Even the breakfast was delicious!

The room was okay, but it definitely looks better on photos. This is just aesthetical thing, no big deal. However, for this amout of money for a room per night, I would expect complimentary water, at least, or free stay at the beach. We chose this hotel just because of the beach, and after reservation, they text you a message that in summer, you have to pay every day to be there, which was a bit dissapointing. I am already paying more because of main season, and still, there is even a "beach fee". Yes, you get 20 % discount, but still...

The restaurant area (not the food) has lovely views but the same dated playlist of slow dance songs every night (a lot of Céline Dion and Lionel Richie). If you’re lucky to be on the odd floor numbers then you’re in the new part of the hotel, so maybe that’s nice, I wouldn’t know. The beds are fairly comfy and the room is spacious.

If you’re on the even floors of the hotel then you’re stuck in the 80s. The doors are rubbish you hear the smallest of noises, the AC is creaking so much it constantly wakes you up. The hotel advertises the beach and bar as private but all your get is a 20% discount to the €35 sunbeds. They also make you pay €2 per day for a towel! The food is revolting. My friend ordered the octopus which came with a side of powdered mash potatoes! In a 4 star restaurant! The breakfast we couldn’t even touch. Not to mention the prices of the restaurant which are double than the rest of the places nearby with much better food! I would never rate this hotel as more than a 3 star.

Very modern space and clean facilities, the breakfast was amazing with so many choices and the staff were super friendly. The beach was also very nice and enjoyable. Mbappé the turtle (close to the stairs) was a very sweet addition to the place 😁.

Even tho it was beachfront the sun beds were not available to the guests, you had to pay to use them and that only if you find free ones, there was a discount for hotel guests which is worth mentioning. The parking space was super small and tight. Considering everything the price was quite higher than the average in the area.

Great location, easy access to the beach, amazing and friendly staff. Nice and clean.

Balcony was too small and partly view to the sea was.. maybe I expected more.

Absolutely outstanding stay – exceeded expectations! We travel a lot and tend to be quite critical, but this hotel truly impressed us. We arrived around midnight and were warmly welcomed by name at the door – such a great first impression! Our superior triple room was spacious and spotless, with a perfect balcony view. The hotel looks even better in real life than in the photos, which is rare. The facilities are top-notch: a great in-house restaurant, a private beach bar where drinks are brought straight to your sunbed, and staff who go above and beyond with a smile – they even made us cocktails after closing time. Everyone treated us like long-time friends, and the service felt like the true definition of hospitality. The location is ideal: shops and scooter rentals right across the street, great restaurants just a few minutes’ walk, and the beach is clean and well-kept. For this level of service and comfort, the price is unbeatable. We all agreed – this is the perfect stay in terms of value for money.

In some of the older rooms – which are otherwise perfect – the rain shower is placed a bit low, and having a handheld shower head would be a nice addition, but this is really just a minor detail. Beach towels are available for €2 per day – it’s a small fee, but it might be a nice touch to include them complimentary with the room.

Free breakfast was amazing and a private beach was also amazing! The staff was amazing also and never failed to do their job.

It’s a little far from the center but still a good location

Perfect breakfast, byt they don't change them, so take it into account. The staff was exceptional, everyone was helpful, especially Erind in restaurant. Always making us smile. We had dinners as well. I loved the food, many variants with sea food and always great. The beach was with rocks, and the sea was cold, but it was ok just to refresh ourselves.

Everything was awesome! The hotel staff were incredible. They are so welcoming, happy and helpful. Special thanks to Elsi, Eli and the taxi driver Lino!!
