The hype
Guests love the pools and the views, but often complain about the service polish and maintenance issues.
Select Hill Resort
$80-170 / לילה
הזמן את זה אם You want a pool-centric party vibe with mountain views and don't mind being a 20-minute taxi ride from the city center.
למה אנשים אוהבים את זה
- Massive outdoor pool complex with mountain backdrops
- Heated indoor pool and spa facilities included in the rate
- Spacious rooms that feel more expensive than they are
סיכום מהיר: A flashy hillside resort that shines on Instagram but struggles with consistency, noise from weddings, and housekeeping details.
סקור על ידי @NienkeG: I spent the most relaxing day lounging by this pool. The palm trees and the view over Tirana make it feel like a tropical escape. It's a bit out of the city, which makes it so peaceful. Definitely my go-to spot when I need to disconnect and catch some sun.

Reality check
The 'luxury' veneer is thin—expect ripped towels, missed cleaning spots, and a manager who might argue back if you complain.
- You have a car and want a base near Dajt Mountain
- You prioritize a big pool scene over silence
- You are attending a wedding on-site

- Maintenance: Showing wear. Broken lockers in spa and peeling paint are frequent complaints.
- Linens & towels: Often worn or stained; check them upon arrival and request new ones if needed.
- Odors & scents: Generally neutral, but some rooms have lingering smoke or musty smells.

טיפים פנימיים
- ✨
Ask for a room in the 'new wing' if available, as maintenance is better.
- ✨
The indoor pool is often empty in the mornings—go before 10am for a private swim.
- ✨
Don't rely on the hotel to call a taxi; use a local app or agree on a price before getting in.
5 דברים שכדאי לדעת לפני שתצא
💡The 'resort' is right on a national highway, so the 'nature' vibe has a traffic soundtrack.
💡Spa lockers are frequently reported as broken.
💡You might be relegated to the 'back chairs' at the pool if you aren't a VIP/local paying for day access.
💡The 'Japanese' food on the menu is often unavailable or not authentic.
💡Housekeeping sometimes skips replacing used towels unless explicitly asked.
