Black Pearl Ksamil — Restaurant in Bashkia Sarandë

A Gem of a Beach Experience - The Black Pearl Beach My recent visit to the Black Pearl Beach was nothing short of exceptional. The beach's ambiance is a blend of calm serenity and infectious energy, with the clear blue waters and the beachfront set up. The sight of the water's radiant blue hue was truly mesmerizing, providing the perfect backdrop for a day of sun-soaked relaxation.

The beach caters for everyone, with families aplenty, adding a vibrant and friendly atmosphere. This does not disrupt the overall tranquillity, but rather it feels like a natural part of the beach experience. The Black Pearl Beach manages to provide a space where both fun-filled family frolic and peaceful serenity coexist harmoniously.

In terms of amenities, the beach is well equipped. A set of loungers with a hammock is available for just 25€ a day, offering an affordable slice of paradise. Clean toilets are also available, a much-appreciated convenience for all beachgoers.

The beach staff contribute significantly to the overall experience. Their warm and friendly demeanor made our stay more enjoyable, meeting all our needs promptly. The digital menu is a nice touch, offering the convenience of ordering food and drinks without the need to leave your sun lounger.

Speaking of food and drinks, the cocktail menu is a highlight. The cocktails, particularly their unique creations, are delicious and served with an eye for detail. The blend of tropical flavors and a cool sea breeze make for an unforgettable sensory experience.

In conclusion, the Black Pearl Beach offers an excellent balance of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. The affordability of its amenities, combined with the captivating views, friendly staff, and mouthwatering cocktails, make it a must-visit destination. This beach truly lives up to its name - a black pearl in the vast ocean of beach...

One of the worst experiences I've ever had – avoid at all costs.

It’s such a shame. This place is clearly aimed at attracting tourists, but they haven’t grasped even the basics of customer service or hospitality. The staff were not just unhelpful – they were rude and aggressive. Drinks were ridiculously overpriced, space was cramped, the music was unbearably loud, and the toilets were filthy.

It feels like the only goal here is to squeeze as much money out of people as possible, with zero care for the actual experience. Sadly, this wasn’t a one-off – I’ve found the same pattern across several places in Ksamil.

Anyone calling this “luxury” clearly hasn’t travelled much. When you’re paying premium prices, you expect at least a basic level of care and respect – this place delivers neither.

Get ready for the sarcastic response below from the owner after they have read this review. Which will tell you everything you need to know about this place.

Don't waste your time or money here.

P.S Added after their reply.......

Exactly what I expected. No you are not luxury but you charge €80 for a bed and then subject your guest to terrible, aggressive service, incorrect bills and the worst music. I give it a few years before people find out the truth about Ksamil and vote with their feet and never return.

You are doing your country an injustice. Really is a shame could be a...

Possibly the worst restaurant experience I've ever had? The place itself was ok and the location and views are nice so it has a lot of potential, but it was completely let down by the appalling service and terrible food. From the moment we arrived, our waiter was treating us like our presence had somehow insulted him. He handed us menus and immediately stood over us to pressure us to order. We told him we needed a couple of minutes to have a look and he rolled his eyes and left. When he returned, I said we were considering the fish and asked him whether we could order some sides like fries or rice since the fish didn't come with any and he basically just said no despite them being on the menu. After feeling very unwelcome and confused about the food options, but being very hungry, we just decided to both order the spaghetti bolognese, assuming it would be a safe option. When it arrived, all we could do was laugh as it was easily the worst dishes I've ever had anywhere, let alone in a restaurant. Completely tasteless and it was sitting in a pool of oil. How do you mess up bolognese? I'm not a fussy person with restaurants, and perhaps we just got unlucky with the waiter and food that day, but seriously...
