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

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.

NOISE NOISE NOISE ………from morning until midnight ( 4am one night ) on the beach every bar is competing to have the loudest thumping music. The hotel looks great and that’s about it , the breakfast is bang average , the coffee is awful unless you pay again , the restaurant is also run separately from the hotel so you cannot add anything to your room but have to pay separately , same on the beach. We followed the instagram page for the hotel for a few months and it looks wonderful , believe me it’s not , you think your going for a relaxing , calm stay to unwind and I ended up putting my noise cancelling headphones on in bed just to try to get to sleep. If you want Ibiza on speed go, otherwise stay well away.

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.

A great experience, fantastic rooms and views! The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant had very nice food, which was easily ordered to the room. The beach bar and lounge area were excellent. Definitely would return and plan to.

This is definitely the best hotel in Dhërmi! The hotel is lovely, it has a great beach and rooftop pool (my kids couldn’t get enough of it and it helpfully had a smaller children’s pool which was perfect), the food is excellent and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. You won’t go wrong in choosing this hotel. The views are great! I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Dhërmi or Albania. Having visited a number of places along the coast, this is also the best beach by far. I honestly can’t fault La Brisa. I have noted than some people have complained about the music on the beach, but to be honest, it’s either that or listening to the music coming from the other beach bars. It didn’t bother us at all - we were too busy enjoying the beach, the bar and the gorgeous sun! If you do stay here, I would advise ensuring you have cash (euros are also accepted) for the beach bar as they prefer this to card payments. Thanks again to everyone at La Brisa for a wonderful stay! We loved it.
