The resort is gorgeous, clean, incredible breakfast, but it almost felt clinical. We had really bad weather in May - raining every day, so there were limited things to do apart from pool and beach (and it was too cold for both). That being said, the room was lovely and staff obviously trying to help. Most of Dhermi was a building site though, so it didn’t feel like authentic Albania.

Most of the surrounding roads and villages were building sites, so it didn’t feel authentic. Hotel was nearly empty so it lacked vibes. Bad weather and not much to do if it’s not sunny/warm.

Pool and beach were great. The facilities were modern, stylish, and tidy. The breakfast had an impressive dessert selection. Reception staff was great, we got the room already before the "official" check-in time.

Apart from the desserts, the breakfast selection was not great. Also many dishes were not fresh after the first moments of breakfast as they had no or little cooling plates etc., which made e.g. fruit, vegetables, and yoghurt really unattractive and past their prime. Staff at the breakfast was not very proactive and e.g. getting coffee required some waving. Staff at the pool actively asked for tips, which seemed strange given they had to waved to come to get the orders and then they basically carried a couple of cokes for a couple dozen metres. Gym was not AC'd and also very small and limited in equipment - which was a bit strange with a lot of empty space in the bottom floor around it.
