This hotel is amazing! The staff are so friendly, the hotel is immaculately clean. The breakfast is wonderful, as is the beach and pool area. Highly recommend!!!

Ruhige und dennoch zentrale Lage. Alles war sauber und komfortabel – genau richtig zum Entspannen. Kostenlose ParkplĂ€tze direkt am Hotel. Das FrĂŒhstĂŒck war vielfĂ€ltig, frisch und fĂŒr jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. WĂŒrden jederzeit wieder buchen!

Vi kÞrte dertil i bil, der var p-kÊlder sÄ bilen kunne holde i skygge - det var rigtig godt. Hotellet havde en fed pool tilknyttet og god morgenmad. Dog fÄr det kun 4 stjerner da der ikke er mad resten af dagen. Derfor blev vi tvunget ud i byen for at finde de andre mÄltider, hvilket der var langt til.

This property is stunning. The staff was freindly and helpful. We loved the room, the view was amazing. The pool is beautiful and everything is well thought out. Parking is easy. My only complaint is that the road in didnt have a sign at the top so we where nervous for a minute but the gps got us right to the front door.

Comfortable, clean hotel.

This is a really nice hotel. Clean rooms, beautiful view, lovely good sized pool. Good breakfast included too. It’s just nicely away from the main saranda drag, so you would benefit from having a car to make life easier. No food served except breakfast, but there are plenty of places close by that do a nice meal. My only warning. Don’t eat in your room!! We had a packet of crisps and there were ants within an hour. They left once we cleaned it all off though. This seems typical to the area. We had a lovely time and would definitely visit again.

3 jours Ă  Saranda

HĂŽtel trĂšs bien dans l’ensemble, la piscine et l’accĂšs Ă  la plage Ă©taient trĂšs bien. HĂŽtel trĂšs propre aussi. En revanche le service n’est pas leur spĂ©cialitĂ© : peu aimables, mal organisĂ©s, et la qualitĂ© de la nourriture n’était pas Ă  la hauteur du prix.

TrĂšs bon sĂ©jour dans l’hĂŽtel. TrĂšs moderne et bien Ă©quipĂ©. Le petit dĂ©jeuner est trĂšs bien Il est situĂ© en bout de ville donc un peu excentrĂ© vous devrez prendre la voiture pour aller Ă  Sarande centre. La plage privĂ© et piscine sont inclus dans le logement.

Fantastisk ophold pÄ El primero

Vi er en familie pÄ 5(3 bÞrn og 2 voksne), som lige har boet 8 dage pÄ dette fantastiske hotel. Personalet var flinke og behjÊlpelige og bÄde den inkluderede morgenmad og maden i restauranten var virkelig god. Vi havde to vÊrelser, det ene med udsigt til havet(kan varmt anbefales) og et andet og lidt billigere uden havudsigt. Begge vÊrelser og det Þvrige hotel var ekstremt rent og pÊnt med daglig rengÞring.

Buen hotel

Es un buen hotel delante de la playa con una bonita piscina. Desayuno correcto pero con poca variedad, cama muy cĂłmoda y la comida del restaurante bastante buena. La situaciĂłn es la Ășnica pega porque es el primer hotel que hay en Sarande viniendo de Ksamil y estĂĄ bastante lejos del centro.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden im El Primero! Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den tollen Service, egal ob an der Rezeption oder an der Bar/ im Restaurant. Wir können das El Primero sehr empfehlen:-)

6/10 Good

Good hotel, great location.

The hotel feels quite new. Seemed like a family run setup. Didn’t see any new faces at the front desk or the bar/kitchen etc. like most of SarandĂ«, this hotel too looks quite new. The room was comfortable. Parking was convenient. The location is excellent. Right on the beach. The staff was very courteous. The lady at the front desk was kind enough to not charge us for our 5year. For some reason, the reservation didn’t pick up that we were 3 even though the room we booked was a triple sleeper. Some teething bits which can easily be resolved include arranging an iron and a board even if not in every room but maintained centrally. The breakfast was ok. Could be made better with just a few tweaks. We tried to use the swimming pool but the water was quite cold. Wished we could have used it more.

Super modernes und sauberes Hotel. Recht klein und dadurch sehr ruhig. Alle sehr zuvorkommend und nett!! Bitte bei den GetrĂ€nken die EiswĂŒrfel abbestellen - das haben wir total vergessen und dann leider die Quittung bekommen. Da kann aber das Personal absolut nichts fĂŒr, daher keine Kritik :-)

Das Hotel ist ruhig gelegen. Hat einen eigenen Strand & einen schönen Pool. Parkmöglichkeiten waren vorhanden. Personal war sehr nett. FrĂŒhstĂŒck hatte eine gute Auswahl. Es war sehr sauber, es wurde immer geputzt. Restaurants fußlĂ€ufig erreichbar. Zentrum etwas entfernt.

Wonderful staff and property! Very clean and well looked after, quiet area at the end of Saranda and is located right in between the town centre and Ksamil. Rooms were tidied very well ( I always inspect for that), we had an issue with a hair dryer but reception gave us an alternative one promptly. All staff were lovely including housekeeping and kitchen aswell. Overall I am very happy with my choice of staying at El Primero!

Excepcional

El hotel estĂĄ sĂșper limpio, tiene una playa privada para bañarse y ver el sunset sensacional. La comida tanto del buffet como del restaurante estĂĄ muy buena. Lo Ășnico negativo, fue el camarero que servĂ­a las cenas, ofrecĂ­a mejor trato a los clientes que le dejaban propina haciĂ©ndonos sentir incĂłmodos en ciertos momentos. Una pena, porque el resto de personal era de 10!
HECTOR, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

O hotel Ă© novo, muito bonito com excelente roupa de cama e banho. O funcionĂĄrio da recepção nos ajudou bastante com aluguel de carro e transfer. Os funcionĂĄrios do restaurante nĂŁo sĂŁo muito simpĂĄticos e vĂĄrios dos pedidos que fizemos no jantar estavam em falta. O cafĂ© da manhĂŁ na minha opiniĂŁo tinham poucas opçÔes de meu gosto, mas entendo ser cultural o que ofereciam , nĂŁo gostei, faltaram opçÔes para mim. A piscina Ă© uma delĂ­cia e a ĂĄrea da praia realmente faz a diferença com um belo pĂŽr do sol e vocĂȘ pode usar as espreguiçadeiras sem custos adicionais. Outra coisa que incomodou na cidade e na ĂĄrea do restaurante Ă© o excesso de tabagistas, nos Ă©ramos os Ășnicos que nĂŁo fumavam, sofremos com o cheiro de cigarro em todos os cantos da cidade. No geral o hotel Ă© muito bom e muito limpo.
Alessandra, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In a calm zone at the end of the bay of Sarandë which makes it only accessible by car but halfway to ksamil. The pool is really nice and you have free access to the beach with long chairs and umbrellas. The room is really well equipped: our bathroom mirror had a strobing light though and the safe wouldn't work... The staff is nice, the restaurant is good and relatively cheap! The breakfast is nice and varied but could be better: no choice of eggs cold boiled or sunny side up soaked in oil. The ham and cheese could be better. No fresh juice and the coffee is bad.
Youssef, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff and management rude when confronted about over charging at the bar because we are British! Got ripped off on every drink as they charged double the prices printed on the menu and then refused to rectify it when we realised. Extremely unprofessional. Its a shame they feel the need to rip people off.
