Sol Tropikal Durres

Fabulous room ( upgraded on arrival), spotless hotel with amazing staff. Nice private pool and beach. In October it is very quiet with minimal entertainment however that suited us. Quite far from Durres centre so definitely think about food options. All was good at start of week with breakfast and dinner before it all went wrong… we are still here… only one coffee machine left so lots of queuing and then it broke down in the middle of breakfast time; bread not replenished; omelette and pancake chef no where to be seen. At dinner last night…. food was cold, choice very limited; wine ran out and flies on food. What has happened…. It was great until the last two days. To top it off we were told we could use the Al la carte restaurant one night…. We tried and were turned away…. Looked like it was reserved for a private group ( football team perhaps??)…. We could have been told that. Overall a lovely place but let down by the above.

This hotel is very near a 5* Very friendly staff members all round. All areas, rooms & public areas very well maintained & cleaned Food and big variety for all meals

We had a wonderful stay at Sol Tropikal. The hotel is spotlessly clean, well-kept, and offers great value for money. The buffet is decent overall, but the Albanian night was absolutely fantastic and a real highlight of our trip. There’s also a variety of activities daily that kept us entertained. The real stars, though, are the staff. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome and cared for, which truly made our holiday special. A big shoutout to Jaime and Yona at the front desk and Anna and Renato at the pool bar—they were so friendly, helpful, and an absolute credit to the hotel. If you’re looking for a clean, friendly, and great-value place to stay, Sol Tropikal is a perfect choice.

We have never been to Albania before, we were pleasantly surprised, the food was excellent, weather superb, it was so relaxing, the entertainment evenings were great fun, something different each night! Special thank you to all the bar staff by the pool, always smiling & especially a thank you to Daniel in the lobby who actually went out his way & took us out on the evening to some bars & restaurants in Durres, how amazing! The location is in the quieter part & a 5 min walk along the beach (not the main road as really busy) to get to other bars & restaurants , so be prepared to get sandy & wet feet, but it’s a paddle, not a swim so it’s all in good fun though, Lynette & Pete

Our stay was wonderful. The hotel is beautiful and has an amazing pool and private beach. We were there in mid-September, when the weather was perfect and there weren't many other guests, which made things even better. The staff are also very friendly and sociable — we had a lot of fun! They are also willing to help with anything you need. A big thank you to Christiano, who made our last evening really special! The food at the Italian restaurant, Citarella, was delicious. We had a wonderful stay in Albania and will definitely be coming back next year!
