Heaven Hotel Beach

I recently visited a beach that felt like heaven. I only went to the beach, not the hotel. The staff was kind and seemed to be young and friendly. The atmosphere was very relaxed and everyone was extremely friendly. The overall vibe was fantastic, with good music and delicious drinks. The beach itself was decent, although there were quite a few rocks on the day we went. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The beach is covered in pebbles and the water is slightly chilly. We didn't enjoy it due to the large, slippery rocks that require special shoes to enter the water. They have a designated area for hotel guests called the "first line," where we paid 20 euros for two sunbeds and an umbrella. I wouldn't recommend going there if you dislike rocky beaches 😀 The staff is alright. P.S. You can park there for free, although the road isn't in the best condition.

We visited the beach in Ksamil and Sarande hoping to find some peace and quiet. The beach was lovely, although it was small and rocky, and they had loungers available for a fee. Since we only wanted to lay down a towel for an hour, we didn't use them. However, based on comments we read online, it seems they charge for the use of the beach. We did have a coffee when we arrived, so maybe that's why we didn't have to pay. There is a restaurant and bar on the beach, but we didn't eat there so we can't give an opinion. Despite the loud music, the beach was much quieter compared to others we visited, and it was worth it to have a nice place to swim. Overall, it was probably the best beach among the not-so-great options along this coastline.

We specifically visited the beach for its tranquility, which was noticeably more peaceful compared to other beaches. The availability of ample parking was a definite plus. Although the sea was delightful, it was unfortunate that the beach was under the control of the hotel/restaurant. Beach chairs were scattered all around (with one-third reserved exclusively for hotel guests), but this seems to be a common occurrence in Saranda/Ksamil nowadays.

The beach is beautiful, with clear waters and a generally clean environment. However, it has been designated as a private beach, so you have to pay a high price for an umbrella and a sunbed. Additionally, the restaurant on the beach provides slow and unfriendly service, and the prices do not match the quality of the food or drinks. On the bright side, there is a small parking area, making access by car relatively uncomplicated.
