The hotel provides exceptional value and quality. Staff are always polite and very helpful. Dining options are fantastic and both buffet and a la carte offer great choices.
Very nice property, well mantained and staffed. REally good spa and indoor pool, only thing to improve is the road just before the hotel is not paved and looks like a construction site
Friendly and helpful staff, Julian delivered exceptional customer service/leadership skills, he is the man to go to with any queries or enquiries. We Loved the indoor pool, jacuzzi and spa services. Large variety of buffet style meals, but my family preferred the a la carte dinner meals. Will definitely come back to this hotel.
We had a great stay at grand blue Fafa. I just didn’t want to come back from there. Great spa beautiful property wonderful location amazing food!
I wanna go back :)
The staff is wonderful at Grand Blue Fafa 💙 The spa, beachfront access and indoor pool were all amazing. I would definitely come back. We traveled to 4 countries on our trip and this was my son's favorite place!
The only thing we didn’t like it was because people were working everywhere around the hotel the food was good and some of the staff were really nice people, everything else was good and clean
Travelled from Scotland. Hotel spotlessly clean! Rooms fantastic! Great beach location. Staff very helpful & friendly. One of the best places we have visited! We didn't eat in restaurant but Al a cart food is excellent! Spa wonderful. Julian & all the staff made our stay very special. Will definitely return to Albania! Five stars!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
There was poor transport link, no public transport. The taxi charges about 40euro to go to Tirana city. The room was nice we had a sea view but the other side was supposed to be pool view but the pool was empty and under renovations. There was hardly WI-FI in the rooms, you had to go downstairs to be able to have a good connection. the streets surrounding the hotel looks like a deserted and abandoned places , old unused buildings, some under renovations. The food from the restaurant was always cold even if you go early.
