You need to book this hotel!

A wonderful hotel with fantastic staff. The pool was amazing, the food delicious and cocktails always hit the spot! The hotel also has a private beach which is a very short walk through the grounds and is clean. Only downside was the beach bar was closed during our stay which was a shame.

Me and my Boyfriend had our first vacation together here and we were not disappointed. The service was great! Food was just remarkable, the drinks (try the Dissaronno sour, they’re version was so good). The rooms where so nice. Everything was way better than we expected for that price! Amazing staff, so happy and welcoming. We are definitely coming back. Thank you Elite Bay 🌞

The hotel is quite small which is a bonus. Some rooms on tbe ground floor have direct access to the pool . Its design is modern but not cold. Our standard double room was not big, it had a spacious bathroom though. The hotel is beautifully situated 5 min from the sea through a walk amidst pine trees. The beach is amazing - wide with soft sand and very quiet. There are sunbeds with umbrellas on the beach. I loved it. The hotel has a free underground parking too. A really nice place

Excellent stay at Elite Bay Hotel.

Excellent stay with my wife in late May, our first time in Albania. Everything was absolutely great, the staff, hospitality, service, food, wines, breakfast, room and the lovely pool. The beach just a two minute walk from the pool is really worth mentioning, reaching around an amazing 10 kilometers. Also interesting with the old military fortifications from the iron curtain era along the beach. There’s a private beach area for Elite Bay Hotel with free sunbrellas, sun loungers and beach towels for the guests. The beach bar is small but cozy, and there’s even clean and proper WC’s just behind the beach bar. The historical city of Durrës, dating back to 627 B.C. is definitely worth a visit. A cab fare is around 40 euros. Go and see the centrally located Roman Amphitheater from the 2nd century, the Venetian tower from the 14th century and Durrës Blvd with lots of shopping and bars. We usually never go to the same place twice, but in this case we may well consider it, top notch!

Mid size hotel with an interesting and elegant design. Overall we had a good stay, staff is friendly for most of them, but unexperienced. I found breakfast disappointing: baked products were **always** dry (bread, waffles, pancakes) besides the muffins. I would remove the juice because they do not taste real, it's not pleasant. Ham, jams and chocolate seem of low quality too. Finally, I would suggest to cover and put in a refrigerated area the meat, cheese and the butter because over time these products deteriorate. Prices for lunch is high for the quality and wine is overpriced.

We had a lovely 4 night stay here,traveling as a couple. Smooth check in experience. They ensured good communication prior to arrival, and arranged a taxi when we landed, although we had not mentioned it beforehand, at a reasonable cost. Well equipped rooms. Quiet and good sleep quality. Air conditioning was a bit sub par. The beach was clean and quiet, brilliant blue waters. Food on the beach is limited. Hotel food was good, though vegetarian options are limited. Location is a bit isolated, and you would need a car or taxi to explore anything other than the immediate locality. Breakfast was included and had a good spread. Pool is nice and clean and photogenic. Special mention to Ornella at reception, Vildma and Philip in the restaurant (apologies if I've misspelled your names!) who went the extra mile to take care of us, including a packed breakfast on the last day for our early checkout. Would definitely visit again!

A true 4-star experience! We don't understand why they only have 3 stars. We had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which in our opinion could and should have 4 stars instead of 3! The rooms were beyond expectations – wonderfully large, spacious and with plenty of space to relax. The outdoor areas were incredibly beautiful, and everything was swept and cleaned meticulously every single day. It was a real pleasure to move around. The location is also top notch. You can walk directly from the hotel to the sun loungers on the beach via a cozy, landscaped tiled walkway – super easy and very nicely done. The staff also deserve high praise. They were incredibly nice, smiling and welcoming throughout the entire stay. The only small minus for us was the breakfast. The selection was a bit limited, and we missed a little more variety. But having said that, the rest of the hotel's high standard absolutely outshines this. We simply don't understand why the hotel is only rated 3 stars on Hotels.com. It fully lives up to a 4-star experience, and we would love to return!

Het verblijf in dit hotel/klein resort was zeer maar dan ook zeer indrukwekkend. Heel fijn personeel dat bereid was adviezen te geven als je met vragen zat of bijvoorbeeld excursies wou maken. Wij geven het een 10+. Wel moet ik zeggen dat het hotel ver van Durres stad gelegen is. Soms tot wel 45/50 minuten wat er voor zorgt dat de plaatselijke taxi je amper kan ophalen. Wel heeft het hotel een prive taxi die je van en naar het hotel kan brengen als je zit tijdig overlegt. Kan wel prijzig zijn, hou hier rekening mee. Tip : Je kan via het strand gelegen aan de achterzijde naar links lopen om uit te komen bij wat beachclubs:)

Im Großen und Ganzen OK. Das Publikum waren eher Familien mit Kleinkindern und Babys, was man nicht erwarten würde. Das Personal ist einerseits bemüht aber chillt auch gerne mal bei einer Zigarette unter den Gästen im Restaurant. In der unmittelbaren Nähe befindet sich kein Restaurant (außer Hotelrestaurant). Die Lage ist sehr abgelegen. Als junges Paar ohne Kinder würden wir dieses Hotel daher nicht weiterempfehlen.
