I had a lovely experience at the hotel. The tasks are simple. Gerti is a kind person, and you can ask her anything you need. Furthermore, the team at the hotel is incredible; we met some wonderful people. The hotel is beautiful, and there are stunning beaches just a few blocks away that you can enjoy every day. I highly recommend this experience.

I spent two lovely weeks volunteering at the hotel! Gerti was flexible, and the regular staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, even with a language barrier. I would have appreciated a clearer work schedule and more notice about days off, so I'd recommend discussing this early if you like planning ahead. Vlorë has some charming spots and is a great base for exploring the Albanian Riviera and nearby towns, especially with a car. I'm grateful for the people I met and the memories I made. Thank you so much for having me! ❤️

I absolutely loved my experience at the hotel! Gerti was very kind and clear when explaining my activities, and the whole staff was always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help whenever I had questions. I started by helping with breakfast, which I really enjoyed, especially getting to spend the mornings on their beautiful place. Later, I helped at reception, where the tasks were also clearly explained. I'm leaving very happy and grateful for this experience. the hotel is a beautiful place, but what made it even more special were the people and the amazing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend

I had a good experience volunteering at the hotel, working at Eden Restaurant. It was my first time working in a restaurant and I enjoyed it. I also had the chance to spend some time at the bar and learn how to make a few cocktails, which was a fun new experience for me. The work was fair and Gerti was kind, helpful and accommodating. All the staff were friendly and welcoming too which made the experience even better. I'm grateful for the opportunity and would happily recommend it to others ☺️

My experience in the hotel was the best I could have had. It turned my trip into something special. I worked at the rooftop as a waitress, meeting people for all over the world, practicing my english and my spanish, and getting to know the local people and cusine. It was a wonderful opportunity to work in hospitality and I had an incredible experience with Gerti and the entire hotel team. I was warmly welcomed and treated with great care throughout my stay. Being so close to the sea was amazing!! I could swim every day. My work house were respected and I really recommend this experience. :)
