The hotel was really nice! Probably the only time I will be able to afford to stay in a 5 star hotel! We definitely looked out of place walking in grungy from travelling and with our dirty backpacks. We never left the hotel. They had a couple different restaurants & pools so that’s all we needed.

This was a rest stop. We stayed at a 5 star hotel and relaxed because we knew we would have a long trip from Greece to Albania and then from Albania back to the States. So we relaxed by the pool and did a whole lot of nothing. We didn’t leave the hotel and not just because we would have had to take a taxi!
