All-inclusive holidays to Albania: what to check

An all-inclusive rate in Albania can cover everything or little more than the buffet. Ask five questions before you book, and look for a checked label.

Five questions to ask about any all-inclusive rate

  • Are local drinks included all day?

    Some rates include drinks only with meals.

  • Are sunbeds on the beach included?

    On many Albanian beaches you pay for sunbeds separately.

  • Which restaurants are included?

    An à la carte restaurant often costs extra.

  • In which months is the rate offered?

    Many beach hotels close in winter, and some offer all inclusive only in high season.

  • What does it cost against half board?

    Compare the two rates for your dates before you decide.

Our All-Inclusive Check

We give a hotel one of three labels after checking its rate: Full AI, AI light or Not AI. Each label comes with the month we checked and what is and isn't covered.

Until a hotel has a label, we don't call it all inclusive, even if it is sold that way somewhere else.
