УВЕРЕННАЯ ЧЕТВЁРКА CONFIDENT FOUR

Were with my wife in the Tiran hotel from 30.08 to 06.09. Before the trip went through a lot of 4 star options. Accidentally turned up this hotel for a good price. All the fears that are described in reviews of 4 star options (bad food, inconvenience with the sea and the beach, lack of a beach bar, problems with water, towels, etc. ) are absent in Tirana, or have a minimal value. In general, the impressions are megapositive.
The road to the sea on foot takes 10 minutes at a leisurely pace (you can also take a hotel bus, every 10 minutes) and is simply necessary to improve the absorption of food (they are fed well and overeat all the time). The sea is amazing, beautiful fauna. Diving experiences cannot be conveyed in a text message. The hotel itself is presented in the photographs quite objectively, without embellishment. It's really nice and cozy, just like in the pictures.
A FEW TIPS for those lucky ones who are just getting ready. It is quite possible to drink local alcohol (no one has canceled the concept of "ball"), but "does not take", because. it does not correspond to the declared strength, and with plentiful food and being in the open air does not work at all. This beer is quite "edible". So, I recommend that lovers either skimp on duty free, or in plastic containers and in luggage. The guys from St. Petersburg used their "bar" all week.

Without much effort, you can buy * ashish, you won’t have to wait long for offers. Heard that in the "old town" the quality is better. If this is part of your plans, think in advance about the METHOD of use. Keep in mind the hotel administration (as well as the authorities in general) is struggling with distributors, but turns a blind eye to the use. This, in turn, does not mean that you can “blow” right in the hotel lobby : -)
Once my wife and I were poisoned by something (well, the pills were with us), according to reviews in Egypt, this is generally a frequent occurrence. so don't forget the cure for the intestinal infection.
It is better to bring a mask and a tube (MANDATORY!!! ) with you, because. they sell only ha * but also more expensive than at home.
Shoppers don't need to go. The goods at the nearest market in the "Old Town" are a set of low-quality junk. My wife and I did not even know what to buy for souvenirs - everything is so humpbacked and, moreover, far from being a penny. Taxi drivers call the price to the “old city” 15 bucks, but they will go for 8 bucks. In general, what you need to bring with you (medicines, cigarettes, condoms, high-quality alcohol, batteries, etc. ) otherwise there will be nowhere to buy , or exorbitantly.
In some rooms, the windows overlook the adjacent construction sites (they are populated last). In general, it is felt that the hotel is now working on a reputation. I want to believe that in the near future it will not get dirty.
Next time when choosing a tour, we will start the search from this hotel.
We will be glad if you are lucky to buy a ticket with the same price-quality ratio.
