The hype
Guests love the pool and the renovated rooms, but the service is hit-or-miss and the breakfast is uninspired.
Hotel Olympia Touristic Village
$50-90 / noc
Zarezerwuj to, jeśli You want a budget-friendly pool scene in Radhimë and don't mind crossing a busy road to get to the beach.
Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- The large seasonal outdoor pool is a genuine highlight
- Renovated 'Superior' rooms offer modern comfort at a low price
- Free beach chairs and umbrellas for guests (a rarity in the area)
Szybki przegląd: A decent budget resort that's trying hard with a new name and renovations, but the 'cash only' policy and highway-side location keep it from feeling like a true escape.
Przejrzane przez @rosalyns.travel: My stay here was a total vibe reset. Waking up to that massive ocean view was the highlight of my trip. The food was fresh, the design is sleek, and the private beach is perfect for quiet mornings. Definitely request an upper floor for the best experience!

Reality check
The 'private beach' is pebbly and gets overcrowded with non-guests on weekends, making the pool the safer bet.
- You prioritize a good pool over a sandy beach
- You are driving and need free, easy parking
- You plan to eat dinner out at local tavernas anyway

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is the beach really private?
Technically yes, but it's across a busy road and they allow non-guests to rent chairs on weekends, so it gets crowded.
Do I need a car?
Highly recommended. The hotel is on a highway stretch, and walking to Vlorë center is impossible.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but it's a basic buffet that guests describe as 'cold' and 'lacking diversity'.
Can I pay with a credit card?
Do not count on it. Bring enough cash to cover your entire stay to avoid an awkward ATM run.
Is it pet friendly?
No. Strict no-pets policy is enforced.
Are there restaurants nearby?
Yes, several good options like Taverna Portokallja are within walking distance along the road.
Porady dla wtajemniczonych
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes south to 'Taverna Portokallja' for better food than the hotel restaurant.
- ✨
The 'Mountain View' rooms might lack the sea vista, but they are the only ones where you'll sleep past 8 AM.
- ✨
Book a boat tour to Haxhi Ali Cave directly from the Radhimë marina nearby—cheaper than booking from Vlorë center.
