Hotels & Accommodation near beach near Tripkovići

I'd like to start out by saying the staff was incredible. Valentina and Marija were the best, and we miss them already. The hotel is almost brand new and pretty luxurious. We had a room with a view that we will not soon forget...overlooking the gorgeous mountains. The breakfast was one of the best continental breakfasts I have ever seen. In general, the chef was 10/10, great food!!! The internet was fast. The room was perfect. It was huge and clean. However, the TV didn't work for half our trip, which really only sucked at night; the hotel worked diligently to fix it! The pool was cold, refreshing, and clean. The service was perfect. The location is...tricky. It's not close to Old Town, so if walkability matters to you, this really isn't your hotel. It's not really walkable to much aside from the little marina area at the bottom of the hill/mountain (10 min walk). The beach is in the area, it's not as close as they make it appear in pics. Also, bring water shoes (rocky beaches) and a lot of Euros because that's all the taxis accept!

The location is fantastic for a quieter Kotor experience. The apartment is spacious and fully equipped with everything for cooking and washing clothes. On the downside there is only one air conditioner in the main room of the unit. If you are travelling with 3 or more people, you must sleep with the master bedroom door open to access the AC during the night. The only bathroom is also located through the master bedroom making it very inconvenient for a third party guest to access during the night.

A very mixed experience at Palazzo del Mare....a tad Fawty Towers! The hotel website describes a restaurant on site. This was not the case and the kitchen was still being built when we were there. The manager pointed out to us that other restaurants were only a short walk away - which wasn't really the point. The hotel looks great at the outset but has the feeling that it was thrown up while skipping many corners. Temperatures at night were in the low 30s and the air conditioning in our room shut down at 3am three nights in a row and didn't return. Despite advertising that their reception is 24 hours, there was never anyone available in the middle of the night. After the first sleepless night, we let the lovely staff at reception know and they told us the engineer was coming to look at it. After the second sleepless night, we were a little more peeved and were told we could speak to the manager 'down at the bar'. He offered us a free drink which we declined and promised it wouldn't happen again. Sure enough it did happen again and was only fixed at 4am. On communicating that this wasn't good enough, we were comp'd our spa massages and assured a refund of one night stay. He took our bank details but 5 weeks later, no such refund and he has ignored our messages. Overall: beautiful views, lovely reception staff, poor breakfast, corners cut (e.g. bathrooms have no shelves and lighting is non existent, shower floods room after use) and extremely unprofessional manager.
