La Brisa Boutique Hotel

Extraordinary location on Dhermi beach. Excellent hotel, with just a few details to improve. Very good,spacious room with balcony and fabulous views of the beach and sea. Great bathroom. Comfortable bed Fabulous rooftop with infinity pool. Reasonable breakfast served in the Arthur restaurant. Variety of choice but with very limited fruit Nice sunbeds and wonderful beach Now what I think needs improving: First the Service at the Beach club. Not very friendly, not very efficient, distant. In short, terrible service. Unbelievable having to pay on the spot, not being allowed to put the payment on the Hotel account. When asked why, the employee simply said it was because Hotel customers consumed it and did not give the room number. I travel all over the world and it has never happened to me. The noise from nearby bars is very unpleasant for those who want to rest. The service at reception was distant and very unfriendly. No smiles or friendliness. Although the Hotel has underground parking, our car was parked in an open field at the entrance to the Hotel. In summary, an excellent Hotel. Great facilities. Poor service, unfriendly employees. Terrible beach club service. Some things need to improve to be a fabulous Hotel

Hôtel soir disant 5 étoiles….chambre magnifique avec une vue latérale sur la mer, literie de qualité mais malheureusement c’est tout….. hôtel implanté à côté de divers bars donc musique à fond jusqu’à 1-2h du matin donc expérience horrible, des veilleuses des 2 télés + veilleuses des interrupteurs allumés la nuit donc encore une fois, ceux qui dorment comme moi dans le noir total et SURTOUT DANS LE CALME, cet HÔTEL N’EST PAS FAIT PIUR VOUS!!!! Nous avons fait un massage de couple à 120€ mais il n’y avait que 1 personne pour massée doc’ une après l’autre…malheureusement même la ou j’aurais du me relaxer, ce fut une horrible expérience, la table de massage se trouve dehors , près de la salle de sport et de la piscine, juste des rideaux séparent donc on entendait TOUT, malheureusement ces anglais n’ont que très peu de savoir vivre, ça rigolait fort et parlait fort, donc aucune possibilité de se reposer et de se relaxer, pas de musique non plus pour se détendre…il y vaut également des odeurs nauséabondes au 4eme étage et ainsi que dans la salle de bain, donc pour moi cet hôtel est un bon 3 étoiles, pas plus…j’oubliais le petit déjeuner, un simple copier coller du jour pour le lendemain…je doute de la qualité des produits également…le restaurant ARTUR, bof bof aussi…une vraie DÉCEPTION et je n’y retournerai JAMAIS!!! Encore une chose la froideur des personnes qui récupèrent la voiture et montent les bagages…pas de bonjour, ni de merci, ni de au revoir….

La Brisa Boutique hotel was a huge dissapointment. I don't know where to start. First of all the location of the hotel is right next to the three noisiest bars in the area. This combined with the walls and windows that are like paper and don't provide any noise reduction ensures that you hear clearly the cacophony of 2000's bangers usually from 4pm and always until the midnight. When we complained about this to the staff they acknowledged it as a known problem that is out of their control and pointed out that their website mentions about it, which is true but their take on it really downplays just how noisy it is. From their website: "During the high season, Dhermiu is a noisy area with music but in the heart of which the comfort and relaxation of a cosmopolitan environment are provided". The music from the bars is not the only source of noise because the walls and doors between the other rooms (our room had door directly to the room next to us) and the corridor are equally thin. You will hear the talking from the rooms next to you or from the corridor clearly. Earplugs for this hotel are highly recommended. We also complained about all of this to the staff but they said there is nothing they can do. All of the hotel's rooms are equally noisy. One evening, at exactly 00:00, a sewage service truck arrived at the hotel and made a loud noise for 45 minutes. We called the reception and they said they don't know why the truck got there so late. We couldn't sleep because of the loud noise. So first we had to listen the loud music from the bars and after that a loud noise from below our hotel room because of the truck. The breakfast was a dissapointment too. There was a coffee machine that served instant coffee. It tasted very bad. To get proper coffee you had to buy it from the barista. The hotel is very expensive and we didn't expect this type of greediness. The breakfast was mediocre at best and always exactly the same. When we arrived to the hotel we expected that there will be one bottle of champagne and chocolate in the room because we ordered it in advance. There was nothing and when we complained about it they said it is there now. We went back to the room and there was just one bottle of prosecco and a card. No chocolate and definitely no champagne. :D From the balcony chair we found previous guest's toe nails. One star comes to the beach. It was just like in the pictures and very comfortable for swimming.

I’ve been at La Brisa recently with my family and we enjoyed it a lot. It was an amazing experience. One of the most luxurious hotel in Albania, probably the best in Dhërmi. The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast plenty of choices, the restaurant high class one, the rooftop pool fantastic, the beach amazing, the staff generally polite. 2 things I didn’t like there: 1- The female staff at the rooftop pool told us there are no towels up there, you have to go to the beach to get some and come back here. Only when I insisted, she gave us 2 towels, we were 4 persons. 2. There were people smoking inside the Artur restaurant while we were having lunch and the restaurant was full of people, a lot of children snd infant there. This is unacceptable for this kind of hotel. Anyway it was a great experience there.

Style and interior very nice. Location is good , but can get quite noisy in the evening. On the positive side, music stops at 24.00 o`clock. Good breakfast, but terrible coffee included. You could order and pay extra , but this should not be necessary when you look at the price you pay to stay in this hotel. Very serviceminded employees in the reception. The rooftop with pool is very small. The roof has few sunbeds , expencive prices and is almost always out of towels. We also had a towel issue at the beach, they would not let us take towels with us on a boat trip unless we booked the trip with them.

This place is amazing. We escaped from a prepaid room in Durres and drove 2 hours south to Dhermi. The hotel staff and accommodations at La Brisa were very high end. The food was delicious and the beach was well maintained. The water had that aquamarine look and was so clean! I wish we could have stayed longer! Go to La Brisa and avoid Durrës at all costs!
