Rapo's Resort Hotel

"This is a really nice resort hotel. Really big 25m pool and all other facilities that especially for Albania was very impressive. They offer an extensive amazing buffet breakfast with pretty much everything you could ask for and delicious coffee. Unfortunately being a resort it comes with all the other rules - no bringing food in fro outside, at the pool you can only order pizza, so even thought the restaurant is right there you cant order from the restaurant and eat at the pool. Just bizarre. Loads of really nice staff - especially Ina at reception and Abrey - he was our favourite. There is a little playground for children with an enclosed trampoline and even a lady who does yoga in the morning and also games for children. The beach right near the hotel is great and really is a 2 minute walk - although golf carts are offered its not necessary. Once you are on the beach there is a Rapos bar, a Rapos fast food and a Rapos restaurant so you really don't need to go anywhere else. Its really expensive though - from the hotel restaurant to the beach bar and restaurant its crazy stuff. Very attentive staff though and very clean well looked after toilets at the beach. Where we found the hotel a let down was the rooms - small rooms with small bathrooms and tiny showers - need a revamp. But the worst was definitely the aircon situation. The hotel rooms get so hot that the staff that do the rooms close the black out curtains to stop the heat. The aircon is centralised and is not cold. We complained multiple times but apart from getting the airconditioning company in there is nothing they can do because yes the fan works but the air is not cold. It was really a problem all week as it was 34 degrees. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay."

"We spent 9 nights in the wonderful family run hotel. The hospitality, service, breakfast and cleanliness ( not to mention free flowing raki !) was 1st class. We miss the place and the family that run already and can’t wait to return. Don’t stay anywhere else in Himare"

Stef and Stam Nerantzis

"The rooms are clean and showers work well. However, the breakfast served is at a restaurant 4 minutes away and most of the food the place serve is fried and the staff’s English is poor. The staff of Syed & Stam is VERY rude and nosy. Feels like they’re always watching you. My 3 year-old peed on the bed one night coz she was sick, which we informed the staff. We were told they were a new business and they didn’t have enough linen available, yet they still changed her bedsheets which I appreciate. Yet upon check out I was told when we left that a kid peeing herself isn’t normal, which is not only out of place but also not sthg she/we did on purpose, obviously. Careful cuz 1) the main staff don’t speak English and one says she speaks Italian but she can barely put 5 words together, 2) the place is convenient for the main beach but the area where the place is at is far from what the images of the place describe (it’s rather a block of flats behind other blocks of flats, very much like La Vecindad del Chavo), 3) customer service is poor, 4) seems more like accommodation for locals than worldwide guests, 5) staff uneducated on how to treat customers. Wouldn’t repeat, wouldn’t recommend."

Hotel Stolis

"A charming restaurant behind the small hotel has the best food in Himare. They use only home grown ingredients and their fish is fresh from the sea. They specialize in grilled local caught fish cooked perfectly. Huge portions of salads and grill shrimp so bring your appetite!"
