About

Hotel Bahamas

Hotel Bahamas sits on the road between Sarande and Butrint, about 25 minutes on foot from Mango Beach. The 4-star property is privately located and offers a quiet base for exploring the Albanian Riviera, with Sarande centre roughly 10 minutes away by car and Ksamil a short drive further.

Rooms are air-conditioned with balconies – many facing the sea – and the hotel keeps a private stretch of beach with sun loungers and umbrellas. During the warmer months, the seasonal outdoor pool and sun terrace become the social heart of the stay, while the restaurant, snack bar and bar/lounge cover meals and drinks throughout the day.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Private beach with free sunbeds — Guests get direct access to a private stretch of shoreline with complimentary loungers and umbrellas, a standout for a property of this class in the area.
  • Sea-view rooms and balconies — Most room categories include a balcony, and many face the Ionian Sea. The Panoramic rooms and superior options are fitted with air conditioning and flat-screen TVs.
  • Family-friendly facilities — A children's play area, cots, and a Family Suite make it easy for families to settle in. The seasonal outdoor pool and snack bar keep younger guests entertained between beach trips.
  • Attentive, personal service — Guests consistently highlight the friendly and patient staff, with several noting the family running the property adds a warm, personal touch.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not a central location — The hotel is on the Sarande–Butrint road, roughly a 25-minute walk to Mango Beach. Sarande centre is about 10 minutes away by car, so a vehicle is practical for exploring the town.
  • Breakfast can be hit-or-miss — Some guests found the breakfast selection adequate but not remarkable, with a few oddities like 'incomprehensible sausages' mentioned in reviews.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel operates a strict no-pets policy, which may be a limitation for travellers wishing to bring their animals.
  • Check-in window is limited — Standard check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:00, so late arrivals outside these hours need to plan ahead or arrange an airport shuttle.
