We've just returned from a week’s all-inclusive holiday at Melia Durres and have to say the Hotel and Albania as a whole was a wonderful experience. When I booked the holiday, I incorrectly chose B&B rather than all inclusive but this was changed on arrival within minutes by the very friendly and professional reception staff. Our bags were then taken to our room and during the walk the bell boy gave us a tour of the hotel, showing us all the restaurants, bars and pool areas. The room was huge and very clean. The room was cleaned every day without fail to a very high standard with water supplied into the mini bar on a daily basis. The food in the buffet was really good and it never felt repetitive though maybe a few more “snack” type meals at lunch could be an idea. Though saying that there is the “Grab and Go” bar where they have burgers, hot dogs, baguettes and salads. Our favourite lunch time meal was the takeaway pizza from Cassa Nostra which is included in the all-inclusive. These pizzas were knockout!! Evening buffet was also very good and the ala carte meals were all very good too. There’s the Italian, previously mentioned, as well as a fish restaurant and the food and service at both was excellent all be it a little rushed in the Italian! The pool area is kept very clean and I also appreciated the guy who moved towels from beds that were obviously not in use but someone thought they’d bag them for no reason! Finally, the bars. We had no waiting for drinks and the guys working table service in the Plaza Bar were very professional and attentive, having a quick chat if it was quiet and genuinely interested in the conversation to be had! All in all we had a terrific time and will definitely be returning the Albania in the future….
