The hotel is clean and with a very nice private beach. However, I'm a bit disappointed that there's no hair conditioner and body lotion in the bathroom. Also, our room is on the way to the restaurant so it's noisy on the hallway early in the morning.

One of the loveliest places we have ever visited. Impeccably clean and spacious rooms, comfortable and soft beds. Amazing balcony with an unreal view. The restaurant is super modern and beautiful with an amazing sea view. The food is also so high end and delicious in the restaurant. The beach and deck overlooks an amazing sea Mountain View. Super helpful and sweet staff, unmatched hospitality and 24/7 desk. They are flexible and kind, giving the best recommendations for things to do in the area. Walking distance to the main promenade. Fantastic value for money and couldn’t recommend enough!!

Being a solo traveller is not easy but the staff at the Hotel really looked after me. It was out of season so normal amenities should not have been available but I was still spoilt for choice when eating all meals and really looked after by Arind, which was especially appreciated. I may certainly look to revisit in perhaps September to enjoy the Hotel in full flow !

A good stay

The hotel, especially the exteriors are brilliant. The beach bar and beach, plus the restaurant where breakfast is served is great. Erind and Liam were such great servers. We got a deluxe double room w partial sea view. Unfortunately the room was pretty small, and there were definitely some finishing touches needed. The bathroom not having a full shower screen needs addressing urgently. The view and balcony were nice too. We were only there for 2 nights, I think if we were staying longer we'd have found the room really quite tiny and restrictive.

Avoid avoid avoid. I booked a Superior Double Room with a Queen-size bed but was given a room with two single beds pushed together—completely different and uncomfortable. Misrepresentation at its finest. The room was in poor condition, with personal laundry left on the balcony, which is unacceptable.

The worst part was the manager’s appalling behavior. She was rude, aggressive, and refused to give me her full name. When I asked about the hotel’s complaint process, she flatly denied it existed. At one point, she even put her hand in my face and laughed when I said I would call the police.

Despite admitting the room mistake, the manager refused to offer a proper solution or refund. She tried to downgrade my room. She accused me of being a \"liar\" when complained about the noise at night as I was situated on the ground floor. She agreed for a refund then changed her mind immediately after. The level of disrespect and lack of accountability from her was shocking. I strongly advise avoiding this hotel.

Lovely hotel in a great, fun area.

The room was lovely - very modern and large. We had a large double bed on one side of a partition and 2 proper single beds on the other side - perfect for our 2 teenage sons. The beds were super comfy. Bathroom clean & had a nice rainfall shower head as well as a ‘normal’ one.
The hotel itself had lovely public areas - light, airy & modern. Very funky. The breakfast area / restaurant overlooked the beautiful bay view out towards Corfu.
The beach area was nice - you have to pay for beds but various options starting at €10 through to €50 for the beds with nets.
Good area - about 15 minute walk to the port & add another 5 minutes to the main front. Plenty of places to eat & drink at reasonable prices.

Avoid this Hotel!!!

had a two-night reservation for October 2023, and it turned out to be quite a disappointment. The room was incredibly noisy due to ongoing construction work, making it extremely challenging for my one-year-old to sleep. Additionally, there were no amenities such as a bathtub or a crib for my child. The exposed power switch in the room and the elevator not aligning with the ground floor almost led to an accident while carrying my baby. Despite my request, the hotel staff refused to change our room. Surprisingly, I wasn't the only one with complaints that day. I attempted to contact Hotels.com three times, but they were unable to reach the hotel's reception and couldn't secure a refund. I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel.

Newly refurbished hotel with lovely views out to sea. Some of the staff were friendly and very helpful, some slightly blunt and borderline rude.
Food in the hotel was good, and the bar down on the beach good too.
Beach area was very crowded with sun loungers packed in to the max (but this is pretty common across Sarande).
If you are looking for a chilled out beach attached to your hotel, this is probably not it. If you want something a bit more lively with lots of people around the this might be more your scene.

So many things to improve

We just came back from our 6-night stay in Hotel Apollon and to sum everything up, this hotel puzzled us in many ways - both positively and negatively.

Good things:

- Quiet location. Has a stunning small beach near.
- Guys and a girl working at the bar in the beach were all lovely and approachable. These are the kind of people you need in your hotel - honest and hardworking.
- Breakfast was repetitive, but decent in general.

Bad things:

- They initially gave us a room that meant we were next to the noisy lift and that our balcony was facing a restaurant. We said no and they happily changed our room without any issues.

- Room was subpar in so many ways - first, the shower was designed so badly that whenever you take a shower, the entire bathroom gets wet. Not well-designed. You need lots of towel to soak the water out in the floor.

- The air-conditioning in the room was bad. On a random second, the temperature changes from 16 degrees to 25 degrees without you changing it and you just feel the room getting warm. On so many occasions, we’d wake up sweating. Just bad nights.

- We requested spare pillows but said hotel has ran out. Funny.

- We had a dinner one night and when we were about to pay, they said cash only as their machine is broken. My partner insisted that all day we have been paying by card and that we don’t have any cash left. And you know what happened next - card machine suddenly started to work. Miraculously.

We stayed here fo four nights and we felt exceptionally comfortable at this hotel - especially because of the magnificent staff! Every minor or major request was met with utter kindness, competence and a quick solution, everyone was happy to help with any question or wish that came up. The breakfast is really delicious, also because the hotel has an own farm, where they get fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy products. Also dinner is very recommendable here, just bear in mind, that while the off-season some of the traditional dishes have to be pre-ordered in the morning or the day before.
The only little critique I'd like to mention, was that the walls seem to be a little thin, you can easily hear guests from the neighboring rooms or hallway, so if you have a light sleep, you might wanna bring earplugs.
The area around the hotel is peaceful and very nice, you can walk into town and the promenade within 10-15 Minutes. There's a free parking lot and the private beach is very nice.
The rooms were spotless clean and the view over the bay and the island of Corfu is absolutely amazing.
We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely keep this hotel in mind, if we decide to travel to Albania again.
Thanks to all the wonderful people staying here, who made our stay so great and memorable!

Would highly recommend!

Amazing hotel, very modern with a beautiful terrace for enjoying breakfast or dinner. Good options for breakfast. The private beach is not exactly private as anyone can walk across the beach or rent the sun loungers. We were told 20% discount for renting the sun beds for hotel guests, but in reality was 5€ off on all the different categories, cheapest ones are 10€ for two loungers and parasol (50€ for the beds with the netting over the sea). Parking is free and private at the hotel which was a big plus

Good beach bar with cocktails, beer etc and tasty pizza and they accept card payment. Special shoutout to Erind who was always cheerful and very kind to us!

Only comments I have was that you had to rent beach towels, 2€ per towel per day. The hotel is approx 15-20 mins walk to the main promenade but there are plenty of options for restaurants nearby.

Heute ging unsere erste Albanienwoche im Apollon Saranda zu Ende. Das Hotel ist mit seiner Sauberkeit, seinem tollen Personal zu 1000 Prozent zu empfehlen. Hervorzuheben sind hier die Angestellten der Strandbar sowie beim Frühstück, welche alle nach 1 Tag wussten was man trinkt ❤️ Der Strand und die Lage sind top, dass einzige was bemängelt werden kann , ist unsererseits dass Frühstücksbuffet. Wer sich halbwegs gesund ernähren möchte ist hier Fehl am Platz. Es gibt keinen Müsli und das einzige Obst sind hier Apfel , Bananen und Orangen, jedoch nicht geschnitten sondern als Ganzes. Ansonsten gab es Pizza, vieles an Kuchen und Ei. Wenn dies zukünftig erweitert würde, einfach nur ein Tophotel.❤️❣️

We had a nice stay at Apollon, nice staff and hotel. Minor issues with some towels not looking clean as they were pretty stained.
