Andon Lapa Hotel & Spa

One of the nicest hotels/resorts we have stayed at. Very friendly staff (managed by family) and excellent amenities - amazing and clean beach, gym area and sauna/steam. The breakfast was also good and facing the beach. The bar area (overlooking the beach) was fantastic - excellent music and great cocktails at good prices.

A terrible experience, the food was cold, eggs were fried like rocks (unbeatable) and it was €15 each person!!! Total rip off! We walked in because it looked like a nice building. How wrong were we!!

We have just got back from our 11 night stay at Andon Lapa. We had the two bedroom suite on the top floor of the main hotel. The room was lovely. Nice views. Bathroom was modern and clean. Me and my partner shared the double bed which was comfortable enough. My sister had a single bed in the second room which she was a bit too hard for her. The cleaners came in everyday to give fresh towels and clean. Both bedrooms had a tv but no English channels or option to log into . The main room had a couch and coffee table. The balcony was huge and has two sun loungers, 4 seats and a coffee table. My only complaint about the room was there was no coffee or tea in the room. There was a small fridge provided but freezer. So we had to keep asking the hotel for ice which they gave us a small glass of at a time. Which was nice of them. But we could have bought ice and kept our own so not to disturb staff with such a request. The hotel itself is modern, clean, it has a really nice pool area. The pool is very clean. Although my partner perhaps felt it was too clean and he felt there was a lot of chlorine in the pool which stung his eyes. The private beach is lovely. We had no issues getting beds and at no extra charge. The staff were friendly enough and helped us when we needed it. We walked around and definitely felt our hotel was the nicest on that stretch of saranda. There is a bar area that offers a limited range of drinks. Cocktails weren’t great. But it was nice and relaxing there. We had breakfast included in our stay which unfortunately was a huge let down. I wasn’t sure if it was Albanian culture to have cold eggs for breakfast or what? The eggs and sausage were placed in hot plates but these were not heated to keep the food warm. Which made the hot plates seem irrelevant. They had a nice selection of breads to have toast and some pastries that were satisfactory. But that was it really. There was one toaster between everyone so it felt like a bit of fight to use it. The coffee was ok. I didn’t notice any English tea on offer but there were herbal teas. There was yoghurt but this was kept in a bowl on the table. So when I tried it it was warm. Overall the breakfast needs a huge improvement. In particular with the “warm” food options. They should be served warm if put on hot plates. Overall we had a nice stay at Andon Lapa. I would recommend this hotel and even stay again if I came. However, I would avoid paying for the breakfast and opt to give your money to a local cafe and eat there.

Lovely hotel in Sarande. Service and situated graat and the receptionists more so. Such a nice hotel we decided to stay on another few nights and Sofia and receptionists sorted us promptly with an even better room! Highly recommend
