Hotel Palazzo del Mare - Essenza

Beautiful hotel! Best beach club right across the street! Great price for the 5 star hotel… Ni only opinion is the kitchen is right across one of the suites and it wakes you up in the morning . Make sure you get a suite on a higher floor

Really helpful friendly staff. Hotel has a great location near the lake. Lovely small pool area, with free sunbeds and towels, also sunbeds and brollies around the lake. Lovely spacious room, most with lake views. Good choice for continental breakfast including hot and cold selections.

Stunning hotel, location is out of this world with views right across the bay and so peaceful. Would recommend staying here than the old town if you want to truly enjoy what Kotor Bay had to offer. The walk into town (around 1 hour ish?) is so enjoyable too as you get to see the bay, bars, restaurants, hotels, villas etc along the way. It’s less touristy too which we liked! Our room was beautiful - felt like a suite as was so big and had sofa area, large bathroom etc and our own space in a courtyard. Staff were so friendly and couldn’t do more to help you, they spoke brilliant English too. Kotor is just gorgeous and worth visiting - the boat trip to our lady of the rocks and blue caves etc was arranged by the hotel too and was such a perfect day out to see what Kotor is all about. Great restaurants nearby - we tried Mudra Art cuisine (just along the bay en route into town) and also Stari Mlini (5min taxi from hotel) and they were divine experiences! We are sad to leave! Defo will be back, can’t wait x

Stayed here for 4 nights. View from Hotel is like a postcard and is the perfect setting. Breakfast on the terrace and lying on the deck looking at the bay was very peaceful. We were given a room in the basement. Decorated nicely however there is a problem with damp! We informed the staff and manager said the smell will disappear tomorrow, it didn’t. He then told me that it was because of the wind. 🤣🤣🤣 Also the hotel are building a beach bar and everyday lying at beach was disrupted due drilling and building noises. The bed in our room wasn’t great either which was surprising as this hotel was the most expensive yet we had some really comfy beds in other hotels. Breakfast was Plentiful and tasty and the girls (Andgela, Branca and Tjana)were all very sweet and an asset to the hotel. Location is good if you have a car but next time I’d stay a bit closer to Kotor or I’d stay in Perast and would definitely not book a basement room.
