The hype
Travelers love the hardware (pool, rooms, cleanliness) but often clash with the software (aloof service, confusion over breakfast inclusions).
Greccia Hotel
$75-180 / natt
Boka detta om You want a modern, pool-equipped sanctuary that's a 10-minute walk from the Dhermi beach chaos but still close enough to the action.
Varför människor älskar det
- Sparkling outdoor pool (a rarity for mid-range hotels here)
- Modern, spacious rooms with effective air conditioning
- Quiet location set back from the thumping beach clubs
Snabb Överblick: A solid, clean building run by a team that sometimes forgets they're in the hospitality business—expect a great room but zero hand-holding.
Recenserat av @ehvibes: I stayed at this gem in Dhërmi and was blown away by how peaceful it felt. The room design is gorgeous, the bed was incredibly comfy, and watching the sunset from the balcony was the highlight of my trip. It’s the perfect spot if you really need to disconnect.

Reality check
The 'sea view' is often a 'distant sea glimpse over other buildings,' and the walk to the beach can be sweaty in July.
- You have a car and need guaranteed free parking (hard to find in Dhermi)
- You prefer a quiet pool day over a crowded beach club
- You are self-sufficient and don't need a concierge to plan your day
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, though they may skip restocking shampoo.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are modern and tiled. Grout is usually clean, though coastal humidity can cause minor mustiness in ground floor units.
- Maintenance: The building is relatively new (modern construction), so peeling paint or broken fixtures are rare.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel white. Clean and crisp, but not luxury thread count. Don't bring them to the beach.
- Odors & scents: Neutral. No heavy perfumes, but occasional whiff of chlorine near the pool or humidity in lower rooms.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is breakfast included?
It varies by booking platform. Many guests are surprised to find it's NOT included or is a simple set menu rather than a buffet. Check your specific rate terms carefully.
How far is the beach?
It's about 350-500 meters, which translates to a 10-15 minute walk. It's downhill getting there, but a steep walk back up.
Do they accept credit cards?
Technically yes, but their machine is often 'broken' or they strongly pressure for cash. Bring enough cash to cover your stay just in case.
Is there parking?
Yes, free private parking is available on-site, which is a massive perk in Dhermi where parking is usually a nightmare.
Is the pool heated?
No, it's an unheated outdoor pool. Perfect for July/August, chilly in May or October.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, pets are generally allowed, but you must confirm in advance as fees or size restrictions may apply.
Insider-tips
- ✨
The 'Grand Resort by Greccia' is a newer, fancier sister property nearby—if you booked the 'Hotel' don't try to check in at the 'Resort'.
- ✨
There is a small convenience store on-site (or very close) for grabbing water and snacks at normal prices, avoiding the beach markup.
- ✨
Ask for a room away from the 'game room' area if you want to avoid the sound of billiards/kids.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The shower pressure is surprisingly good, often better than 5-star hotels in the area.
💡You might be asked to pay upfront upon arrival.
💡The 'sea view' is partially blocked by new construction in front of the hotel.
💡Housekeeping is efficient but can be stingy with replenishing toiletries.
💡The walk back from the beach at 2 PM in August heat is brutal—take a taxi for ~500-700 LEK if you're tired.
