What to do in Kotor
Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour
"Great location in amazing surroundings. The amenities need a bit of care (door handles falling off ) and some additions. The name 'Deluxe Rooms' is misleading. It was more like a hostel with bare bones rooms and the washroom (which was great !) across from a public hallway. The breakfast was good, but nescafe' is not a good start to the day."
"We had a lovely stay at R Palazzo. While the hotel is beautiful and the views are breathtaking, it was the staff that really made it special. Everyone who works there is personable, professional, and makes you feel like a VIP guest. They remember your morning coffee orders, ensure you have everything you need, and are just incredibly pleasant to have around. You won't regret staying here."
"Our stay at Forza Terra was incredible!! The staff was absolutely EXCEPTIONAL and some of the friendliest I have ever experienced. The view from the hotel is absolutely stunning. Highly recommend staying here!"
