  : Breathtaking views spolied by location right on the Adriatic highway which is a fast, busy and dangerous road with no pavement. The apartment with supposed sea view we had booked turned out to be a creepy little house called Frida with no view. It was decorated in grunge/hippy style with walls painted in deep colours and Frida Kahlo inspired pictures. The whole place had a somewhat dark and tortured vibe. The only windows you could open towards Kotor Bay looked into thick overgrown leaves blocking the view entirely and making the bedroom pitch black. Apparently the view was from the tiny courtyard behind which was scruffy, dark and overgrown with broken stuff littered around it! I complained immediately and they moved my daughter and I to an apartment higher up in the resort with a great view of the bay. Probably the pool with the most beautiful view Ive seen. We arrived on a Sunday to find it filthy. The pool is salt water, apparently cleaned once a week on a Thursday. Its emptied and refilled via a pumping system. When I complained that it wasnt possible to swim in it the man at the reception became quite unpleasant and aggressive, disputing the fact that it was a problem whilst agreeing that the photos of insects, floaters and bacteria I was showing him were disgusting! I made clear that I wouldnt be paying anything extra for the change of apartment to which he agreed. On Weds the pool was emptied and by the afternoon almost a third full, so knee height. By Thursday it was full enough to swim in so the whole process takes ~24hrs but once full the water didnt reach the top! Not quite achieving the infinity pool effect when you are dangling off the pool edge to see the view as opposed to floating, flat!! An improvement to be able to swim in clean water, for sure. There was no transport provided by the hotel and very little help to get about. The taxi boat prices quoted for these seemingly hard to find services was outrageously high.
  : We got the distinct impression that the hotel and restaurant (the only things on that part of the bay) want you to stay put ensuring that you spend your money there with them. Mini market/food shop: Given its the only place to buy food for miles around it is tiny, with an extremely limited selection and very overpriced. Restaurant, there are no other options so the captive audience means that it receives business no mater how poor and overpriced the food is. I chose chicken skewers on the first night and couldnt chew the chicken enough to swallow it! My daughters carbonara was great however. They do not serve breakfast, a huge drawback given there are no cafes or restaurants within a half hour walk. Cleaning: During our 5 day stay our towels were changed once. There was no cleaning, change of bedding or rubbish/waste collection. TV: Didnt work and had never been programmed. It wasnt a priority to watch TV so I didnt attempt to set it up from scratch in a foreign language! Listening to some music would have been nice but given the unhelpful attitude of the staff it wasnt something I felt like raising. Beach: Beautiful, clean with crystal clear water. Toilet and showers available on the sand too. Plastic sunbeds with no cushions, many of them were broken including also the parasols.
