Mango Beach

The staff was really nice.

My stay at Sol Tropikal was overall good, but there are a few things that could definitely be improved. The food was nice and tasty, especially the beef, pasta and panna cotta. I enjoyed most of the meals, although sometimes the food was more warm than hot. It would be better if the chefs could make sure the food stays hot enough during serving. The rooms were neat, tidy and comfortable. Housekeeping did a good job keeping everything clean throughout my stay, and the balcony area was nice to relax on. One thing I struggled with was communication with some of the staff because many of them were not able to speak English well, so I didn’t really find the staff very engaging. I was also disappointed with the water situation. I had two bottles in my room when I arrived, but nobody explained that I was supposed to keep and refill them. I assumed fresh bottles would be provided. When I asked reception for another bottle of water, I was told guests only get two bottles and that I should buy water from the lobby shop instead. Considering I paid for all inclusive, I honestly felt disappointed that they couldn’t provide one extra bottle, especially since I would have reused it for refills afterwards. Having stayed at another Melia hotel before, I personally didn’t feel this one matched the same standard. Overall the stay was okay and I would rate it 7/10.

Great Location, only a €25 taxi from airport. There is a bunch of restaurants nearby if you walk along the beach. Lounge chairs are included if you stay there. Breakfast is included and very good and big! They make breakfast for you, it is not a buffet. The views are amazing for sunset. Staff is great! They come out to you on the beach and you can order food/drinks. All the food I had there was amazing, and I didnt want to eat anywhere else. I had the iceberg salad which was good and cheap! I think it was around 750 leke, but I would have paid double the price for how good it was! The rooms were clean, and the bed was comfortable. You have a view of the beach and a balcony, maybe 2 of them. Water pressure in shower was good. No complaints at all and I will definitely be back if I visit albania again. Rildi stood out to me as one of the most attentive servers and spoke very good english. Parking is free, and you can rent bikes for free! Very good price and you get so much for it. Cannot rave about it enough.
