Beautiful!
Pros:

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. The staff are excellent and went the extra mile to ensure our visit was perfect. I loved the beach club across the road, with sea access, which is free to use for the hotel guests.

Only 1 drawback is the parking - or lack of it. Often people would be double parked in a very small car park, with very little parking available on the roads.

Pros:

We really had a good time in this hotel . View was amazing, looking to the mountains and water from balcony . The only thing streets are very narrow and sometimes difficult to park. But it was very convenient if you rent a boat for a trip, they pick you up right in front of the hotel . Another thing we really liked the buffet breakfast, they had a lot of food variety. The location of the hotel was very convenient . Thank you so much to all the staff, they were great . Last but not least , if you need to do laundry, they will do it for you too. Thanks.

Pros:

Excellent séjour dans un hôtel moderne et confortable disposant d'une magnifique vue sur la baie de Kotor sans subir les désagréments de la foule de touristes inondant littéralement la vieille ville de Kotor.
Déjeuner préparé avec soin uniquement avec des produits frais et renouvelés chaque jour pour le plaisir des papilles.

Pros:

Very nice boutique hotel with beautiful views on the Kotor Bay! Attentive and friendly stuff, nice and quiet pool area, access to a water front (can’t call it a beach) with lounge chairs and umbrellas . Walking distance to restaurants coffee shops annd oyster farms. Hotel needs a repairman to fix some obvious items like peeling wallpaper in the hall and stained carpets in the rooms ! Other than that I loved it!

Pros:

Beautiful hotel! Best beach club right across the street! Great price for the 5 star hotel…
Ni only opinion is the kitchen is right across one of the suites and it wakes you up in the morning .
Make sure you get a suite on a higher floor
