    Surprising there's no wine tasting + feel breakfast could be better. There was no choice or information as to what would be offered - just a plate of food placed Infront of me.

    Lovely setting - so peaceful and relaxing.

    - The spa was under construction and the swimming pool was closed but its understandable as it wasn’t summer. - People could smoke inside the hall (but we believe this is allowed in the country). - We got used to it, but there was music on during the day (we also believe this happens in all horeca in the country).

    - The complex is very beautiful and is surronded by nature, vineyard and has a lot of areas for relax. - All the staff was exceptional: kind, humble, always checking on us, recommending us places to go… - It was very clean!! - We could have our meals outside but also inside, which is very nice as one can decide where to eat.

    Due to the location, it wasn't as accessible to travel into Durres and Tirana as easy as I expected, however, if you are looking for a relaxing, slow paced and family orientated experience like spending time around the pool etc, this hotel would be an excellent choice. During my stay, I developed good relationships with various taxi drivers and found the journey into Durres easy by the end of the trip, so I was not put off by the distance as the trip progressed.

    The hospitality of the staff was excellent as I always felt looked after and catered in relation to my needs as a guest. The staff always went out of their way to make me as comfortable as possible by making sure I was well fed and catered for in my room through taking care when washing my clothes etc. The staff were excellent at giving me recommendations about places to visit and eat and were very efficient at ordering me taxi's into Durres and surrounding areas.

    The service by the personnel during the breakfast and dinner is really, really slow...luckily we were not in a hurry but if we were...

    The object is perfect, few rooms surrounded by the beautiful pool in which you can get a drink as there is a pool bar. The restaurant serves perfect food and wine and the price is more than affordable.

    The breakfast was not as good as expected. A simple omelette was served with a few slices of cucumber and tomatoes, 2 slices of ham and a stick of cheese. No drinks were offered for the breakfast.

    The resort was beautiful and clean and with car not too far from Durrës. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were exactly as shown in the pictures and the pool area was great.

    For a supposed 5-star resort you would expect more attention to detail. Few times we were denied simple services such as having a cocktail or orange juice, because the "right person" wasn't there. We weren't offered any drinks during breakfast and had to pay for water when asked, but came to learn only afterwards that coffee and hot tea were included. Hopefully these small things will iron out in the future.

    Beautiful looking resort, in the middle of the wine yards. Huge property to enjoy a walk around and meet with some animals. You can enjoy dinner at a table with no one around since there is so many different areas to sit in the vast garden. The pool is great, again with a variety of sunbathing areas. The room was beautiful, luminous and with great views of the property. The hotel staff was very kind and helpful with what they could.

    It was a lovely place, exactly what we wanted, far enough from a town centre so we could relax and switch off. Obviously, it depends on what your preference is. We always go for small and quiet places as we find them more friendly and perfect for children who can run around and enjoy a bit of freedom. Vinea Resort also serves good food and wine so what else you can ask for? Vinea Resort was fulfilling our expectations.

    From the moment we arrived the staff were pretty miserable - when we checked in and paid (not a small amount of money) they never been made eye contact or said thank you. No one offered to help with our bags. We had to find someone to take our drinks order at the pool and breakfast service was terrible. We did find a waitress eventually but she literally ran away from us. We did complain and the second day was better - but for this kind of hotel it really wasn’t acceptable. There is also no Spa - not sure why it is called one. The pool is beginning to look a little tired. They also tried to charge us our bill twice on check out. It was just a bit of a miserable hotel - definitely not the luxury destination that it sells itself as - this was our most expensive but least impressive hospitality in our whole trip in Albania. Such a shame as in the vineyard with the surroundings it could be a real gem.

    The hotel is beautiful, nicely restored- the rooms were lovely. Nice pool and restaurant. We ate in the restaurant in the evening twice and the food was fantastic - local with a great waiter who took time to give you information. Special shout out to the horse riding lead - this was a great addition and the children loved it.

    we arrived on a Sunday and the pool was filled with people and lots of children running around and shouting. in the end I found out they were not guests of the hotel. Zero calmness to relax. the restaurant service was not good, the breakfast was ridiculously bad. Staff was not polite at all, there were lots of young people working there, laughing and making fun in Albanian. the hotel was also not that clean. And it was very expensive, not a 4 star hotel, a 2 or 3 hotel with 5-star prices.

    the hotel could be nice. it was big, there was pool and a restaurant. nothing worked well.

    The hotel is quite far from the city centre, so if you don't have a car you need to wait and pay for a taxi since there is no public transport.

    I really enjoyed the pool area, perfect place to relax with a book while sunbathing or taking a dip. The staff was really friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make the stay memorable. The receptionist Erinda Shehu was particularly kind.
