My family and I were here last year. My experience with this beach (and bar-restaurant) is terrible! We went early in the morning and the man who was charging was sleeping on one of the sunbeds (he saw us coming and continued to sleep). We just left our things on the sunbeds, we decided to go for a drink at the bar right next to the beach itself (I guess the beach is theirs), because no one came so we can pay. However, in the restaurant, the price you see on the menu and that price on the bill is completely different. We drank a macchiato, and it was billed as a cappuccino! It was explained to us that in Albania cappuccino and macchiato are the same thing. SORRY, since when are two different coffees same in Albania? After this gesture, we decided to leave the beach since we don't feel comfortable anymore. When we started to collect our things, the guy got up from the his sunbed in the last row and came running to collect the money. He showed us the sheet where he marked that we had occupied that set of sunbeds. Sunbeds should be charged immediately when someone occupies them, and not after 2 hours after sleeping, by running to collect the money. Of course we refused to pay and he realized he made a mistake, apologized, but would never come back here again! They see that you are tourists, so they charge you more than they...
Read moreThe worst loud annoing music ever played in any beach in Albania. There was no relaxing music, and what is worst when we asked the personnel to play another or some different music, they were unwilling and afraid to do so, being afraid of the uper level management (the BOSS) who does not allow them to play other music but only that loud annoing half Albanian music. The other half was who know what language, only Albanian wasn't. Only one broken dirty toilet for men and one for wemen on the same entrance with no water and no toilet, paper entrance. The food was over priced and the staff looked like they were observed on every step, it was an artificial smile, if and when you could get one. The one way street from Vlora made the traveling even more difficult. There was a place to park on the upee side of the road, but not enough and no pavemwnt, just dirt. I would go there to enjoy the see, but will get some earplugs or my headphones to escape the music. Why why why there is no...
Read moreUnfortunately I have to give 2 stars, the sea is very good, the vibe is nice and the umbrella is in line with the other places. Nevertheless, as many other beaches, the whole place is missing the basics. When trying to order a beer they only have german ones, I am in Albania and I want to experience the local taste. I had to go to the place next to it. We tried to get some food, and they did not have any pasta or pizza, they literally told us to leave. I can’t even comment the toilet situation which is unspeakable.
The service is ok, the guys are trying the best and are as helpful as they can be. During peak hours you can def see the stress from them and they scream at each other, this can scare away clients and they are totally chaotic.
On a note, I want to give a shout out to the guy with tattoos, I really enjoyed his approach and smile and calmness with...
