A wonderful gem on the Albanian Riviera, peacefully located right by the sea in a secluded area near Qeparo. We were thrilled to discover this oasis after spending the first few days of our trip in busier destinations with crowded beaches.
The staff are truly exceptional: warm, attentive, and very helpful. During our stay, my friend celebrated her birthday, and the team made it unforgettable. Just after midnight, they joined me to sing for her, and the following morning when we arrived on the terrace, we found a beautifully decorated table overlooking the sea, with flowers, balloons, a lovely breakfast, cake, and candles. As if that wasn't enough, the entire team later came together to surprise her again with cupcakes and a birthday song. It was one of the most thoughtful and heartwarming gestures we have ever experienced while travelling.
Our stay at Stone Beach was an unforgettable experience that gave us a deeper appreciation and understanding of Albanian hospitality and culture, setting the tone for the rest of our journey. While some parts of the property could use a bit of updating, this did not take away from our overall experience. The charm of the location, with the luxury of being able to jump straight into the crystal-clear sea, and the exceptional staff far outweighed those minor inconveniences.
Thank you, Sindi, Erissa, and the entire Stone Beach team for showing us your Albanian warmth and strength. We missed you as soon as we left and hope to return one day!
