Perfect
Pros:

Breakfast was stunning and the restaurant food was incredible. Me and my husband loved our stay. Music was a little loud and bassey around the pool but that’s was a minor issue

Pros:

L’établissement est très joli, la chambre, grande et confortable. Le petit déjeuner en terrasse avec un très beau cadre.
Restaurant très bon , nous avons eu une très bonne table. La piscine super jolie

Cons:

Le personnel un peu froid par moment, et l’endroit un peu excentré, mais étant donné qu’il y a tout dans l’hôtel, ce n’est pas forcément un problème. Un peu cher pour la qualité du service.

Exceptional!
Pros:

Certainly! Here’s a well-written, positive review of a coastal hotel in Albania, highlighting the name Ardet as a standout:



Title: A Hidden Gem on the Albanian Coast – Exceptional Stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful hotel on the Albanian Riviera, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the staff made me feel completely at home. The hotel is perfectly located along the coast, offering stunning views of the Adriatic Sea and easy access to the beach — just a short walk away.

What truly made my stay unforgettable was the impeccable service, especially from Ardet, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was friendly, professional, and always ready to help with local recommendations.

The rooms were spotless, modern, and spacious, with balconies that opened up to breathtaking sunsets. The on-site restaurant served fresh seafood and traditional Albanian dishes that were full of flavor and beautifully presented.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat by the sea or a base to explore the Albanian coastline, this hotel is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Cons:

Not applicable

Délicieux
Pros:

Ce que nous avons aimés: le cadre, le salon marocain pour prendre des petites verres après que la foule soit partie, la piscine, le petit dej, et bien sûr notre chambre qui avait un grand confort malgré le manque de vue

Zoe Hora was extremely disappointing - All our other stays on this trip were exceptional
Pros:

Liked the view from up on the hill.
The main building and the main pool area
Friendly housekeeping staff.
What we didn’t like:
Where to start – our biggest gripe with this hotel was that we had booked and paid for an experience that we did not receive.
The beautiful hotel that you see in the photos and read about in the descriptions was running on empty.
After check in we were told that because it was now the end of high season the resort would be running at reduced capacity and therefore only one restaurant and one bar would be open. The cocktail and hookah lounges were closed, fitness/yoga/pilates classes not on offer. (Perhaps if this was communicated at the time of booking and a reduced rate was offered, guests could weigh up their options, make a more informed decision and not be disappointed) Guests are still charged full price and then do not receive near what is advertised.
Ok well - we are here now; we will try to make the most of it and after a bit of unpacking we met up with the rest of our group at the lovely poolside bar and ordered a round of drinks. To our disappointment, only one of the drinks could be provided as we were told they had run out and would not be restocking. Numerous options were unavailable. The traditional restaurant and onsite café we had wanted to try during our stay were closed, leaving only the most expensive fine dining option. Later that evening when we decided to try the restaurant, most items on the menu had been struck off and what did finally get served up was very meagre in portion size and outrageously expensive. At the included breakfast the following day, the staff when asked if there was coffee available, gave us conflicting explanations - we first got a reply that the machine was broken, then it was changed to the standard reply – they had run out and would not be restocking. When we asked about their laundry service, we were told that they were no longer providing the service as it was end of season

Cons:

and they were too busy.
The list goes on, but to cut a long story short, other areas of disappointment were :
Mouldy and unclean shower, stained couch and burn marks on couch pillows, broken LED TV screen, no coffee/teacups provided, Kettle in the room could only be used when placed on the floor due to a short power lead, no teabags provided and on asking we finally received loose leaf tea with no strainer. On asking - there was no strainer they could provide. There were no hooks or rack provided in the room to hang your bath towels to dry.
Other guests in our party also experienced similar problems – Constant smell of cigarette smoke seeping into the room from somewhere (advertised as a non-smoking room hotel), and broken light fittings etc.
Stray dogs were allowed to lounge around guest areas and defecate where they please.
Reception, restaurant, and bar staff were unwelcoming, appeared disengaged and did not want to be there at all in the last week of opening season.
We did try to find other options for food and entertainment. The nearby thriving beachside hub of Dhermi was anything but. The streets were mostly deserted and strewn with rubbish. We found one other hotel open and that was where we ate the following night. On arrival back to Zoe Hora the second evening staff seemed more interested in continuing their own party and drinks by the pool.
We were appalled by the lack of customer service and facilities for a hotel marketed as 5-star. Guests are charged full price without being notified that facilities, amenities, services and offerings are significantly reduced. Due to overall disappointment at a Zoe Horror experience, we cut our stay short and stayed only 2 of the 4 nights booked.
When we approached management to tell them that we would be cutting our stay short and the reasons why, the only compensation that could be offered was a potential discount on our next stay. Ha! As if we would be in the position to travel this far again any time soon.

Bait and switch, beware
Pros:

.

Cons:

Booked a room months in advance and two days before my arrival, received a message that my reservation couldn't be honored due to a wedding at the property (how was this not known sooner?). They offered to transfer my reservation to their "comparable" sister property (Drymades Inn Resort) and while it seems like this resort will be nice at some point in the future (and the staff was great), it is still very much under construction and was not a suitable replacement for the inconvenience of my stay being cancelled with little notice. Feels like a bait and switch on the part of the hotel company and left a very bad impression. Bookers beware.
