ARAMERAS Resort

Great resort with friendly helpful staff. We were there end of season so it was quiet and some listed menu items/drinks weren’t available but that was the only negative .

Arameras Resort is a great choice for travellers seeking seclusion and tranquillity in Ksamil. The resort is beautifully designed with a unique paved garden layout and buggies to take guests around. The bungalow-style rooms are nestled within the gardens and feature modern décor, smart TVs, fridges and freezer compartments. The overall aesthetic is the cleanest in Ksamil. There are however areas that could be improved. For such a secluded resort, additional spa facilities such as a sauna, jacuzzi or massage treatments, along with some evening entertainment, would be a great addition. The resort has padel, tennis and basketball courts, plus a stunning infinity pool. We visited at the end of the season when daytime temperatures were 27°C but the pool was too cold to comfortably swim in. A temperature-controlled pool would allow guests to enjoy it beyond peak summer especially as the sea is also too cold outside peak season. If you’re not comfortable with reptiles, I’d recommend avoiding a garden-facing room. We had a lizard in ours which unfortunately affected our sleep. Thankfully Johnny at reception dealt with it promptly and provided excellent service. Breakfast is another area for improvement with limited vegetarian options, some stale food and flies around the display. Overall, Albania is still developing as a tourist destination, but the people are incredibly friendly and hardworking. With more investment in guest experience, Arameras has great potential.

This hotel has such potential. It is outwardly very beautiful, it truly has a gorgeous resort feel spread over large area from hill peak down to beach. The infinity pool looks straight out to Corfu, gorgeous with well spaced lounge chairs. It is not their fault that it seemed to be constantly windy. The bungalows are functional and individually spaced apart from one another. Even our Garden View family room at the very back of resort (all they had left when I booked) had a view of ocean and Corfu. The reception/buggy staff were helpful and responsive, and a special thanks to the manager down at the beachside seafood restaurant who really made dining there feel like an occasion. BUT...the "exclusive" beach for guests, who are given wrist bands on check in, was over-run by non-guests, we were displaced to the back row. Our room had many maintenance issues. The bathroom window (which I fit through) would not close/lock. The safe was a small unattached metal box you could pick up and carry off in a case. The shower had a constant drip. I got impression from staff that they were just leaving it until the end of the season to fix. The breakfast was very average with hardly any fruit, there was no butter, no toaster, the milk was on a completely separate table to the self service coffee urn (which was refilled with water half way thru so weak!) We had much better breakfasts at much cheaper Albanian hotels. The plates were never cleared. Beautiful but disappointing.

Amazing views ,

Excellent place!
