Lime Lounge Cocktail Bar

Came in the evening for a few drinks, after reading the great reviews. While the drinks were good (and fairly affordable from what I can tell), and the music was nice creating a good atmosphere, I must note the service was subpar. It started out great with the hostess being very polite, and a waiter quickly taking my order. But once the first order was placed and delivered, it was like I didn't exist. I tried to flag down the waiter for a second drink for about 40 minutes, even waving at one point hoping someone would see me, before I just gave up and just went up to the bar myself and ordered my drinks. I would have understood if it had been a busy night, but there was barely anyone there and there were actually several waiters just walking around, but it was like I was invisible. The only reason I didn't leave was because I really did like the vibe of the place in general. I get that it's the start of the season and some of the waiters might be teenagers in a summer job, but that's not really an excuse. Just a little more attention and it would have been a 5 star rating without hesitation.

Lime deserves a standing ovation for outstanding food, service and ambience. I stayed in the Maritim Marina Bay for almost a week and tried a range of restaurants in Vlora. Hand on heart, this place was consistently excellent that I didn’t hesitate to return for both lunch and dinner in the last few days of my trip. Pictures of several dishes as proof! And no filter. A special shout out to the host and hostess. I never got their names, but I believe the host is Klevi and the hostess is a gorgeous blonde. The staff are especially hard workers that make it look easy despite literally not sleeping during the weekends. Hats off! Yes, the prices are higher than average. And yes, service takes more time than average. But this place is set in a 5-star hotel overlooking the most beautiful part of the Ionian Sea and the food & drinks you get are sensational. Worth the price, worth the wait.

“Lime Lounge is the place to be! My girlfriends and I had an amazing night there. From the moment we arrived, the host, Klejvis, and the manager, Mikea, greeted us with such warmth and genuine kindness that we instantly felt at home. The vibe was unmatched—great music, perfect atmosphere, and a truly welcoming crowd. If you’re looking for a spot to relax, dance, and have a memorable time, Lime Lounge is it!”
