“Palace Hotel & Spa strikes me as a place trying to balance upscale aspirations with the realities of its location in Durres, where the sea isn't always the cleanest. I noticed the hotel boasts a private beach and spa, but some previous guests experienced issues with the spa being closed. Overall, it seems like a solid choice if you're looking for a blend of convenience and luxury, but be aware that perfection might be elusive.”
