I had booked the hotel months and months in advance and wasn't quite sure what to expect, especially given the awful weather forecast I was reading from the week before. The transfer from Tivat does take a while and includes a short ferry crossing more at the Tivat end. Our coach managed to reach the hotel despite the narrow roads on the approach. The hotel is built into the mountain side and enjoys a fabulous location. We had rooms in Luna with amazing views up the bay of Kotor. A buggy took our luggage to our building. Our room was sea view in the premium location (we had paid for this). However our daughter got a similar room that we had not paid for. Great. It is very true that there are lots of steps and slopes at the hotel. Luna is closest to the restaurant and the pool. We had read about this and did exercise caution at all times. This is not a hotel for guests with mobility issues. The staff are all wonderful, from the cleaning staff to the waiters, gardeners, receptionists, porters and bar staff. There was plenty to get involved in by way of activities, led by the enthusiastic animation team. The hotel complex has a small private beach and a cordoned off area for swimming. There is a beach bar which is open when the weather is good enough. Unfortunately the roof top bar was not open when we were there. I would have loved that. The main bar is under the restaurant and the décor is modern and it is comfortable. In better weather there is entertainment outside, but in the evening we preferred to sit inside. There are plenty of trips guests can do. Our daughter went swimming in the cave out from the bay for 25€ . A small ferry goes over to Herceg Novi for 5€ each way when the weather is good enough. Or there is the odd bus (very cheap) or a taxi for about 12€ to the Old Town. There are buses from Herceg Novi to Kotor and Dubrovnik. These trips can be arranged at the hotel if you don't want to go it alone. We really enjoyed the hotel vibe despite having only three decent days weatherwise. The pool area is pleasant, but in mid October the sun goes down around 2pm, so it is not perfect for sunbathing at this time of the year. The sparkling wine is great and is French and the house wines are very drinkable. If you ask for a cocktail with a particular branded spirit you will get a better cocktail than the premixed version. The dining experience was very pleasant with fabulous views from the restaurant. We could see that the food was carefully prepared and proudly presented, but we felt that many of the main courses lacked seasoning and therefore tasted quite bland. I enjoyed the pork dishes and the freshly made pizza in particular. My morning omelette was also a daily treat. In October there was an issue with wasps, just a seasonal thing. Friends we made used the spa and loved it. 20% off prices was offered. The gym looked pretty good too. We felt the hotel could do with a little shop to sell all the thing
