Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi

We had an amazing time it was lots of fun! The staff were amazing, big shout out to Omar #bestie

We have had a wonderful time, all the staff have been amazing. 10/10 hotel!!

This was our second stay at Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi and certainly will not be our last. Check in and out both swift and luggage taken immediately to our room. We opted again for the premium location sea view room at Luna building which was spotless and with a stunning view. We had excellent maid attendance throughout our stay. One of the main points for praise for this hotel is the attention to eco friendly tourism. We didn’t encounter any single use plastic which is to be commended. There are water fountains near the bedrooms to refill drinks bottles or carafes. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained. The sea was crystal clear with ample sun loungers. They even measure the lining up of the loungers when clearing at the end of the day! The bars were attended by friendly staff and wine/ beer and prosecco are self service. Plenty of choice of cocktails and soft drinks. Lovely fresh juices and detox waters at breakfast. The restaurant is one reason we came again. The standard of food hygiene was impeccable. If people think the food is samey they must be choosing the same things each day!!! Each day there was a theme ranging from seafood to chocolate fountains and a special shout out to ACO manning the grill section with a smile each day. There was a choice of 2 grilled meals and a fish choice each meal time with a variety of sauces to add interest I was so addicted to the mojo green sauce that I have had to learn to make it at home. There is a pizza section and a roast meat choice in addition to stews salads etc… The waiting staff are attentive and always friendly. One of our waiters Aldo even chatted to us on his day off. They added a cocktail night one night and this was lovely. We used a few of the day time activities and these were fun with no pushiness from the team. The evening entertainment on the whole was good but the fire show was not as good as last year. The water taxi is great and he went out of his way for viewings of a pod of dolphins which was lovely. We did not use other excursions as we hopped on the service bus from Herceg Novi to Kotor which was a beautiful drive around the fjord. We only used the pool at the end of each day but it was always clean and well maintained. We love the hotel the location the food and the staff and have come to consider this hotel as a relaxing retreat surrounded by beautiful views and pretty places to visit. We will be back!

Left this amazing place on Thursday, having stayed for 10 days. Location was beautiful. Montenegro is stunning and Herceg Novi the perfect base. The hotel is just across the bay from the old town. Water taxi is available from the hotel, hourly and very reliable. We flew in to Dubrovnik and took a private transfer to the border, crossed on foot (this means that you skip the line of cars), then in to another car to the hotel. Was quick and easy. We checked in early with no hassle at all and was by the pool relaxing within 20 minutes of arriving. Don't be put off by the small and basic looking reception. You will not see it again until check out. The view from our room was stunning! Room was clean and well equipped. They offer a mini bar package but there is a small village shop within a 2 minute walk of the hotel that sells drinks and snacks etc and is much cheaper. The buffet restaurant was good and especially seafood night! Coffee shop opens at 5am for early risers. The spa is good and the massage that I had was exceptional. The ladies are lovely. The pool was clean and getting sunbeds at anytime of day was never an issue. All the staff were brilliant, including the very busy bar staff by the pool. Cocktails were freshly made and asking for something not on the menu wasn't a problem. The real stars of this hotel are without doubt the animation team. They truly were all a joy to be around. Always friendly, never pushy and if you like to get up off the sunbed there's always something to do with them during the day. I have to give a special mention to Adam and Omar. They were by the pool at 10am and still working at 11pm. Always with a smile and a joke. These guys really made our holiday. It was actually really hard to say goodbye and we will miss them. They are a real credit to the hotel. With so many wonderful places in the world to see, I wouldn't usually return to the same place but will make an exception for this hotel and beautiful country. Charlie, Tracey and Amy hope to see you all again.

An absolutely superb hotel - first time we have stayed in an Iberostar but we would definitely do it again. Everything was so well organised and clean. The location is ideal, set on a hillside (so yes lots of steps) giving you amazing views across the bay. The local town was easily reached by boat or if you wanted to go more regularly you could get a taxi. We loved the novelty of the boat though. We stayed on an AI basis and found the food tasty and varied. They had different themed nights and welcome drinks in the restaurant to match the theme. The grill was always on too giving tasty freshly grilled fish, chicken and meats. Also loved the roasted meat option at dinner too. I’m gluten free and lots of options available - freshly made gluten free croissants at breakfast too. Some lovely gluten free crackers, bread and biscuits in a separate cabinet too which made having cheese after dinner a real treat! We enjoyed superb drinks by the pool with incredible service from Sara and Dunja. They are a credit to the hotel and took time to know their customers. Mojitos were a favourite ❤️ The animation team were amazing - Adam, Lido, Mickey and Omar provided great activities throughout the day. They were encouraging and friendly taking time to learn names, creating a great atmosphere. We joined in far more than we ever had before and that’s due to the team, it really made our holiday. We enjoyed shuffle board, darts, water games, ping pong, glass painting and even face mask making. Honestly something for everyone! The evening programme - again hosted by the super animation team above - was so enjoyable. We really enjoyed the big band night (a local brass band playing modern music), the fire night, Montenegrin dancing, and casino night. Also some great live music by the pool and football streamed (Egyptian game was v tense) on a big stream. We booked a private speed boat tour with Bobina at the stand by the pool, and this was of high quality. We saw the blue caves, submarine tunnels, the lady of the rock and Perast. Vasilli drove the boat and acted as a great guide. We are sad to be home but so very thankful for such a great holiday at this hotel. It was such a joy to meet so many lovely people from all over the world ❤️ Have a great season - lots of love from Zach, Hannah Montana, John Senna, Charlie, and Mumma Fiona ❤️

Our 2nd fantastic holiday at this hotel,great staff good food including theme nights plenty of choice,adam & omar do a great job with the entertainment team ably supported by izmir & lido ,poolbar staff are fantastic Gabriella leading the team well,special mention for Bobanna in the restaurant bar great cocktails & service with a smile.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in with a great variety of food, fun entertainment for all ages, lovely rooms and some amazing staff ( big shout out to Omar, Adam,Mickey, Nickolas and Lido for being so welcoming and making the experience one to remember!). This definitely isn’t the last time we will be staying here I really recommend as it’s definitely a holiday to remember!

This is somewhat isolated on the opposite side of the bay from the town of Herceg Novi. It is not really possible to walk into town as parts of the walk would be on the main road without a footpath. There is a boat trip every hour into town for £15 euro return which can be used all day of payment. Being on a steep hillside there are steps everywhere. This is not a quiet holiday as there is something going on for most of the day from sports to bingo, so probably suits the younger guests. Rooms are ok and are clean the views are usually reasonable, but most balconies are small. The food is basic and the restaurant is a canteen. Plenty of choice but not 4 star. The lower sunbathing area is good and entry to the sea is easy. Clean clear water (most days) and not too cold. The trips are good but expect some delay on the border crossing if travelling to Croata. Some crossings at peak times take up to 5 hours. So to conclude, reasonable quality hotel, lots of steps, noisy, and somewhat isolated other than the boat crossing to town.

We have just returned from a week at this lovely hotel and overall had a fantastic, relaxing holiday. The location is absolutely stunning. The views are breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters and mountains in the background. It's a truly beautiful setting and one of the highlights of our stay. The rooms were modern, clean and comfortable, and it was a nice touch having a coffee machine in the room, although we didn't make use of it. One thing worth mentioning is that the number of steps around the resort is probably a little underrated in some of the descriptions. Even if you're reasonably mobile, the heat can make them challenging, and I did see a few people struggling. It's definitely something to consider before booking. The entertainment team were fantastic – friendly, enthusiastic and always working hard to create fun activities for guests. It was nice to see options beyond the usual daytime activities, such as the casino night, which we hadn't experienced before. There was a real focus on keeping children entertained too. The taxi boat across the bay was excellent and, at €15 return per person, I thought it offered good value for money. We also booked a boat trip to Kotor through the excursion representative by the pool, which was very enjoyable and well worth doing. I'd read several reviews saying the food was repetitive, and that's probably a fair comment. However, as a vegetarian, this was the first hotel where I've had options such as soya-based meat dishes and even a vegan burger one evening, which was a really pleasant surprise. The bars were great and all the staff were incredibly friendly. A special mention to the lovely lady working in the bar underneath the restaurant – unfortunately I can't remember her name, but she was always so warm and welcoming. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday. Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, nice food and a very relaxing atmosphere. My only advice would be to make sure you're aware of the number of steps throughout the resort before you travel.

Everything was great! Room, stuff, food! 💚 We will come back definitely!

My partner & I stayed here for 2 weeks between 11th & 25th of June, we booked through Jet 2, we arrived at & departed from Dubrovnik airport - our airport of origin was Newcastle (UK). By far the best thing about this hotel was the location on the edge of the Bay of Kotor which resulted in probably the most stunning scenery I have viewed in my life (and I've been to the Norwegian fjords & the Canadian Rockies), everywhere you looked there was 360 degrees beautiful scenery, it was utterly stunning. We flew in to Dubrovnik airport in Croatia because we were coming from Newcastle & Tivat airport in Montenegro is not a route from Newcastle which is our nearest airport, this meant crossing the border from an EU country to a non EU country (Montenegro is not in the EU but does however use the Euro as its currency), we arrived late at night & as such the border was quiet - but this was not the case when later in the holiday we went on a day-trip to Dubrovnik. It was pouring with rain when we arrived - thankfully this weather condition was not typical for the duration of our stay (but it was not 100% dry - the local area was hit by a couple of storms). We stayed in room 4113 which is on the ground floor of Luna block. The positives of this room were comfortable beds, a spacious balcony/terrace*, a spacious shower cubicle, a "loose" hairdryer (ie not attached to the bathroom wall - so could be used outside of the bathroom if required), the fact that the maid came early (often conveniently whilst we were at breakfast) - unlike some hotels I've stayed at where maids do rooms in the middle of the afternoon, the check-out time was generously late being 12 noon. The negatives were the fact that the complimentary toiletries had not been replenished - this was not apparent just by looking due to dark bottles with large labels - I was already in the shower & wet when I discovered that the shower gel container was virtually empty, I found sleeping with the air-con off was too hot but with it on was too cold. *Be aware that above each balcony/terrace is an overflow pipe, now on my last day I'd left my sea-shoes on it to dry out before packing - when I came to retrieve them they were soaking wet (after having been almost dry enough to pack) & at first I was perplexed before realising what had happened. We stayed on an all-inclusive basis. I would rate the food at this hotel as very good. Like all buffets I've experienced keeping hot food hot was somehow beyond their capabilities, a microwave was provided which I did not use as it was situated so low down that I would've had to sit on the floor to use it. The ice-cream was delicious - however it was somewhat difficult to serve due to a proper ice-cream scoop not being provided. My favourite desert was a moist nutty chocolate cake which was there most nights so it was a good job it was very nice. As a vegetarian I did find plenty of savoury dishes suitable for me to eat, my partner seemed to enjoy the meat & fish - as did the resident hotel cats & dogs. The pastries at breakfast were yummy. One time I had some potato salad, it was very tasty however I bit in to a piece of potato & it was frozen which was not good at all, I have no problem at all with excess food being frozen rather than wasted - but it needs to be given plenty of time to thaw before being served. A couple of times the napkins at the tables were wet - good that they'd been washed but bad that they hadn't been dried properly. I had some nice cocktails, my partner tells me the beer was nice, neither of us drink wine, I advise everybody to try the chocolate liquor - probably the most divine alcoholic drink I have ever drank & I'm 53. Entertainment-wise I really enjoyed the orchestra & the fire-show & the dance-show which was performed by the animation team. They had music quizzes, these did not follow the usual format - rather than writing down answers guests had to get up off their seat & walk (or run) to a table with a bell on it & press down aka ring the bell, I understood (I think) why it was done this way - I assumed to make it more like fun & less like a school exam - but the process was flawed, as a 53 year old woman how was I supposed to get to the table before a man half my age.....? One time I even got to the table first but an over-zealous male guest pushed me out of the way & pushed the table at the same time - injuring my foot/toes. I used the gym once, my partner used it several times, it was a very pleasant space; my partner had a massage. The sea-swimming I did at this hotel was the best ever of any holiday I've been on, this was due to the hotel having a private beach with a large sectioned-off part of sea, it even had a platform which you could swim up to & a ladder provided to gain access to it, maybe it being a bay as opposed to wide open sea helped. I have to say that the sun-loungers were uncomfortable, they were hard & needed some padding, I don't like being uncomfortable, there were a few plush ones by the pool but it cost 20 euros to use them which I thought was a damn cheek considering the amount of money I paid to stay at this hotel. There was an ATM machine in reception, it cost 6 euros to use - on top of whatever cash you withdrew, my partner used it & was unhappy about the lack of a receipt, it asked him if he wanted a receipt & as he selected "yes" his cash was not dispensed, he queried this with reception staff who said that answering "yes" meant not getting cash because it didn't issue receipts - which rather begs the question of why it asked, my partner wanted a receipt for his transaction. In reception they played good music ie proper songs from back in the day which you could recognise - but the music at the pool bar & the beach bar was rubbish (I'm not referring to the live act but rather the dreadful modern formulaic stuff being pumped out). The staff were nearly all very nice & helpful & polite & friendly - especially the young lady in the bar downstairs from the restaurant. Re Jet 2: this was the first time I'd used them & it was certainly also the last! I had no problem with their rep - I dare say that they left him with a great many hotels to support & he couldn't be in more than one place at a time & so that was the reason that communicating with him was hard, it seems that tour operators are looking to replace the traditional resort rep service with their app - all well & good if you've got a smartphone - but I do not have one & that is my choice/prerogative & "the customer is always right", I am used to "welcome meetings" on package holidays & there wasn't one. A combination of reliance on apps & a lack of interest in trips/excursions from other guests (trips get cancelled if there's not enough interest) has left us not wanting to do this sort of holiday anymore, we'd pre-booked four Jet 2 excursions, one was cancelled due to only us & one other couple having booked it for that day, I believe that the trip should've gone ahead regardless, I wanted to see as much of the beautiful country of Montenegro as possible; another trip's departure time was moved half an hour forward which we were unaware of, I was at breakfast & my partner was on the toilet - thankfully the toilet in our room which thankfully had a proper phone (landline) which reception phoned us on to let us know that our transport had arrived. Re the cancelled trip - 12 days later & I still haven't received a refund, the refund should have been instant - I am very angry indeed that I'm now having to chase it up with Jet 2, phoning & filling out online forms plus no apology & acting like I'm a nuisance for daring to want my own money back. With hindsight, despite the Jet 2 trips being enjoyable & we liked the young lady who was our guide on a couple, I wish that we had waited & booked with the lovely lady who sold trips by the pool (we did book an extra couple of trips with her), she's there for several hours every day so no chance of any lack of communication, she's nothing to do with Jet 2. There were a couple of delightful dogs who lived part-time at the hotel & 3 cats who had struck gold with access to food - although I really thought they needed to see a vet as they had skin issues which I assumed were flea-allergies, bless them.

We loved our holiday experience here. The view is spectacular and the range of bars and options for relaxing: pool/ beach areas/ in air con /sunbeds are all great. Thank you to all the super friendly staff and the amazing entertainment team, we were welcomed into the family for a week and had lots of fun! Can highly recommend a massage in the spa too. The boat trip for the day to Perast and Kotor was fabulous, easy from the hotel and an opportunity to experience the stunning scenery in the bay. Food was good, lots of choice for our different dietary needs. There are lots of steps, so this hotel would not work if you struggle with steps Rooms were light, airy, clean and beds really comfortable. Would love to come back !!!

Where do I start! This place was unreal. When we arrived at this hotel we were greeted by friendly reception staff who were very helpful. We arrived early, they gave us our all inclusive bands and kept our luggage for us until the room was ready so we went to the beach bar for an hour and our room was ready early which was nice. Big shout out to Luca (sorry if I get names wrong) he was working so hard sweating carrying peoples luggage in the heat we had which was around 30 degrees. He carried our luggage to the buggy, drove us to our part of the complex, carried our luggage from the buggy to the lift and then sent us up to our floor in the lift whilst he ran up the stairs to greet us at our floor and then took our luggage to our room. He will certainly look after you if you are lucky enough to have him there when you arrive. The rooms were lovely. We had interconnecting rooms with 2 balcony’s with the most stunning views!! Another big shout out to the bar staff, particularly Janko who we met in the roof top bar. He makes a great drink and pleasant to talk to. Now for the entertainment staff who were fantastic from start to finish. They were sure to get everyone involved in everything and my 2 teenage boys loved to see them around the complex. Thank you Nikolas, Adam, Omar and I think Lidor? They really made our stay an enjoyable one. Another big shout out to the massage room staff, I had my first ever massage and it was wonderful! All of the staff here were very friendly from the chefs and waiters in the main restaurant to the cleaners and the ice cream truck man! I only went for 4 days and I regret that. Wish it was for life. I cried on my last day as I did not want to leave. I will be back next year and hopefully the year after that!

Just returned for our second visit to the hotel. Wonderful staff throughout the property and special shout out to Mirko restaurant manager and Janko rooftop bar and the whole entertainments team. Very comfortable room and unbelievable views over the bay of Kotor. A superb selection of food something for everyone. Just be prepared for a lot of steps as the hotel is built into the hillside. We enjoyed ourself some much we have booked for next year. Maggie and Ian Hvala Ian and Maggie.

This hotel has the most stunning views and this is the main reason to go. It is right on the coast/beach so there are alot of steps to climb but it helps you keep fit. We booked a sea view room and it was so beautiful to look out at sunrise and sunsets. The room is a little small but all the buildings are spaced out so you don't feel on top of one another. Always hot water and strong shower. The beach is small stone and shore a bit stony so will need sea shoes. There is only one restaurant which allows for many healthy choices as well as otherwise. The patisserie chief deserves a medal. However, the hot food not so much. There is not a lot of choice and it is a bit ropey. Salads, cheese and fruits in abundance though. Several bars around and visit the roof top bar for panoramic views and slightly more chilled ambience. Plenty of choice of where to sunbathe and a lovely beach bar. The white wine on tap is a no but the red and rose not bad. They are generous with spirits. The 20 euro towel deposit we thought was slightly hefty as they are not particularly worth stealing! The boat Petar which takes you to the town Herceg Novi is 15 euros return and we felt a rip off really. Also the boat tour by Petar to Kotor and a couple of other stops not great Crammed on, not enough time in Kotor but stunning coastline views and 45 euros so you pay for what you get. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Ana works so hard providing a variety of fitness classes and is a complete asset to the hotel. Also Silva cooking breakfasts ran a tight ship and always calm and smiling. Most of all the hotel allows a very very relaxing stay. It is truly stunning and the sea fresh to swim in. I would definitely come back.

This was my 2nd visit to this hotel and my mum and i enjoyed it even more this time and i’ll definitely be back. Entertainment - The entertainment team were phenomenal. Sun-Fri they are around creating the best atmosphere. Don’t miss the night time entertainment cos The Adams Family night and casino night were amazing!! I don’t know where they get their energy. If you have kids they’ll keep them entertained too. Location - Perfect! Stunning views, private beach and well looked after. As we went at the very end of May it was a quick transfer from Dubrovnik airport. We were only about 35mins on the way there and max an hour on the way back. Trips - If you’re booking trips i’d recommend using the company at the hotel - Petar boats. I’ve done all the trips before and i’d recommend them all. I would advise taking some cash as it’s needed for the beach towels and the boat over to Herceg Novi. I usually just use my credit card, but there is a cash machine. Trips can be paid by card. Rooms - The rooms were modern, clean and tidy. A plus for me which i forgot was that they have a proper hairdryer. Not the ones attached to the wall that are useless, so that’s one less thing to pack. Staff - Every single person was so friendly and i think management did a great job hiring. The restaurant staff were so efficient and friendly. I always enjoy a wee chat, but that’s what the Scottish are like. I was also really impressed that they sang happy birthday to me and brought out a cake and bottle of wine. I never told them as i don’t like a fuss, but it was very sweet. I’ve been to other hotels on my birthday that haven’t done this so it was a lovely gesture. Food - Absolutely brilliant. If you’re a fish lover and a meat eater, you’ll not be disappointed. I’ve never eaten so much fish on holiday and i am not mad about it. At lunch and dinner they cook 3 different meats to order. There’s a great selection and they do themed nights. My only gripe was the rice which could be a bit crunchy and the pasta sometimes overcooked. It’s not a big deal though. Also, the cocktails are amazing. Some were stronger than others and again the bar staff were lovely. An extra addition which was a great one, was the food truck at the pool area. They served, burgers, nuggets, chips etc and ice cream, pastries and waffles. Ideal for kids and us adults. Overall i had the best time and met the nicest people while i was away. Everyone was so friendly and happy and i think a lot of that was to do with the atmosphere the staff created. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this hotel.

We are currently staying in this hotel, and have been here 5 days now. The stand out features are the cleanliness (which is noticeably excellent, everywhere), and the staff, who have all been extremely friendly and always provide a positive experience. They seem to have a real pride in what they do and their place of work. Probably the best ive experienced. There is a private beach (not sand), which has enough sunbeds for everyone and a pontoon you can swim out to. The beach bar has self serve soft drinks and the usual bar selections. Ive been to many AI hotels since covid, and the queue times for drinks have all increased hugely (or wait times due to 'table service'). Thankfully that isnt the case here, and you never have to wait. The main pool area has plenty of sunbeds and a nice vibe. The animation team does the usual aqua gym etc, and the guys doing it do it well. There's a blonde lady selling trips there too who is very informative and not pushy at all. We're off on the Kotor trip today. The food is good. Standard AI cuisine with a themed section each evening. Its not outstanding, but its similar to the other 5* AI restaurants we go to and I enjoyed all the meals. Theres plenty of food and always plenty of room in the restaurant. Evening entertainment has been good. The live singers were excellent. Sports on the screens. The room is very nice with good air con. The views from the balcony (we have a premium sea view room, 2510) are fantastic. The area is absolutely stunning. Its not perfect. €3.50 a day for a safe is genuinely ridiculous and needs reconsidering. Mini Bar charges also very high, so we didnt use it. But these are minor issues. We are having a fantastic holiday and I would highly recommend that anyone comes to try this hotel. We've spoken to many people around the pool and bar areas as you do on holiday, and everybody is enjoying their holidays here. I will defintely recommend to friends and family.

Just back from a 10 day stay which we throughly enjoyed. The hotel has a beautiful location although isolated but with great views and a private beach. The nearest town is 10 mins by regular boat which is fun or a long walk. The staff are wonderful nothing being too much trouble and I would particularly pick out the lady selling boat tickets . The entertainment is also good particularly the orchestra. We found the food a little repetitive and offering a buffet service means that at times the food wasn’t hot. The bars served a great range of drinks as part of the package. There are some maintenance issues that need resolving but nothing major.

Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi Just back from a week at this IHG hotel in Montenegro. Its stable includes, Holiday Inn, Crown Plaza, Intercontinental and Kimpton. Location On the beach in a private style resort with rooms spread over a number of blocks. Arrival is via a narrow lane onto the reception block, which looks uninspiring but once inside, the reception is warm, welcoming and friendly. A lovely greeting from Ana IHG status recognised and upgraded room allocated pre-arrival. But I still await my welcome amenity points. That room was located in Luna block on the first floor, a nice twin bedded suite with large double balcony and small but tidy bathroom. One gripe here for an all inclusive resort, why is there a charge to stock the minibar? Not to detract from the room, I wipe down every surface to find they are spotless. 5* to housekeeping. Grounds & Pool Outside, the grounds are exceptionally tidy with daily gardening work and the rockeries are lovely whilst the pool area is large with plenty of choice for sunbeds and also very clean. The Ice Cream Truck did do fries and burgers but stopped on our last two days, no explanation. The pool bar is well stocked with a wide selection of drinks and cocktails. Without doubt the highlight of the bar is being looked after by lovely Sara, who has a killer smile and serves everyone with a brilliant attitude and make you feel welcome. She is an absolute credit to the team and management should do more than have her on a seasonal contract. In the later afternoon and evening, Gabriella takes over with her collection of earrings and great service too. Gabriella is also a star, management should take note. Beach and Beach Bar If you are expecting a sandy beach, you will be disappointed, it’s a stone/gravel beach but the water is amazing and the swim to the pontoon is lovely. The beach bar has a smaller selection of food in the day than the main restaurant but all the staff there work hard to keep the choices full and the areas tidy. Nice place on the concrete promenade for sunbathing with plenty of loungers if you don’t want to be on the beach. Main Restaurant So, many will be disappointed at another buffet. Don’t be, the choice is wide and varied and there is always a choice of meats and fish that can be cooked while you wait. The fish night with fresh selection was wonderful and equally enjoyable for all people we met were the curry and Mexican nights. We were never disappointed no matter what meal we ate there, breakfast, lunch or dinner. The staff, worked so hard at clearing your table between choices, you had to blink think that you’d left something. Roof Bar Probably our favourite haunt as we spent each evening here being served by Janko, who quite simply delivered whatever you asked of him, quickly, in style and with humour. One gripe of the roof bar, maybe a little small and could be extended given the demand there each evening. But keep Janko, he works so hard. Loved the Roof Bar and it’s easy vibe! Animation Team Didn’t really engage with this team for any of their workouts etc but can readily admit that every single one of them worked hard to deliver day and night and were all very, very pleasant to talk with, especially Anna. Ferry Service to Herceg Novi This costs €15 return, so can build up over a few days, but the service is frequent and quick, ten minutes to cross. It also links to other tours for Kotor and The Blue Cave, see Bobina by the pool to book these tours. Otherwise, it’s a taxi into town and the return trip is about the same as the ferry. A taxi will also take you to Kotor if you want to ride the cable car and need more time there. The cost was about €120 for upto 4 passengers. Conclusion Whilst I have not covered the gym,(it’s good, clean and very functional), spa (I did have back and legs massage, could have been a little deeper) nor Star Cafe as only had a coffee there, I would say this; There are a lot of steps around the resort (also in Herceg Novi & Kotor), so if you have mobility issues, this is probably not for you. But, if you don’t mind steps and like to walk, this hotel will suit you down to the ground with its location, board options, food choices and the Montenegrin staff who all work hard to make you feel welcome, then go right ahead and book. June 2026.

We are leaving today after 2 weeks here for our anniversary. I agree totally that the staff make this hotel - from the amazing entertainment team, to bar staff and restaurant and groundsmen- all clearly work hard to mean service is smooth . The views are beautiful, and all external areas are clean . The beach was our favourite although be aware the sun goes over the hill mid afternoon. Beach shoes definitely required for getting into the sea Beach bar sadly only opened on our last day for food - apparently the season only began then ?? Food was ok - definitely became repetitive after 2 weeks as you would expect . Drinks were good , varied and readily available. Room was bright and perfect for 2 - however only 3 sockets in the whole room and one was in the wardrobe ! Areas of black mould present in the bathroom , and toilet not cleaned beneath rim the whole stay . Tips - get out round the bay - we hired a car for 2 days and was easy via reception- went to all main towns and saw lots . Try the kotor trip via bus in the evening after cruise ships go - and definitely do the cable car . Book online and get fast track for the ride at the top . Ask for a kettle for your room if you want tea / coffee. We brought some and got fresh milk from the restaurant which they were fine with . Use the cafe to the left of reception for pre flight sandwiches prior to going home . Perast is definitely not to be missed . Via boat or car . Don’t be put off by miserable shop staff - it’s a common theme 😎
