Hotels near Tivat Airport - TIV, Tivat

The only attraction in Tivat is Porto Montenegro. The rest can be done in 1 hour. Good (and reasonable) place to have dinner is the Blue Room. It's kind of a sports bar, but it has an outstanding Indian restaurant. Otherwise, the rest is typical upper class fare of relatively good quality at expected overrated prices. One exception, the Maya Bay restaurant in the Regent, which is very good and priced accordingly but worthwhile.

Traffic congestion and finding parking in Kotor are challenging - my only recommendation regarding this is to get there early. Old town is lovely and a guided walking tour is highly recommended to discover the history and visit the most important buildings. However, it is frequently overwhelmed by visitors. (sometimes there were 4 cruise ships visiting!) A 3 hr boat tour or the Bay is a must and there are many places/people selling these so no real need to book in advance. Market is disappointingly small although we were told that it's bigger on Saturday. Cable car up to the National Park is worthwhile, if only for the views. Take a walk up to the city wall fort (15Euros, 1400 steps, 45 -60mins).

A scenic place, some places for sightseeing and hiking are close or reachable by car or taxi. The place is not overcrowded and beaches less busy than in Tivat and Kotor. I would recommend to those willing to be outside the crowds.

Nice water front but a lot of plastic surgery victims which matches the mini yacht marina and shopping district boutiques. We were only there one night so can’t speak to the rest of town. Tourist office friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay in Kotor and the surrounding area, mainly BECAUSE we stayed 25 mins walk away from the Old Town area, in Muo. This side of the bay is a much quieter location and well away from the chaos of the Old Town. The Bay of Kotor is absolutely STUNNING, with rugged mountains totally surrounding the bay and town of Kotor. You could seriously sit and enjoy the view for hours at a time. Unfortunately though, the 2-3 Cruise ships that come into Kotor daily, TOTALLY WRECK the whole vibe of this charming town. Unless something changes soon, Kotor will become a destination to AVOID. It is overrun with 1000's of tourists daily. Shame on the authorities in Montenegro to allow these huge ships to enter, what I would think, would be a very fragile ecosystem. The bay is SMALL, and these ships are HUGE! One day we were there, 3 Cruise ships, each carrying over 2.5K passengers, were allowed to enter the bay. You can just imagine the chaos around town with tourists everywhere, and bus after bus trying to enter the town, to bus these tourists around to different sites. The traffic congestion is a real problem, as there is one main road that goes around the bay linking all the towns. Having said that, you really do need transport if you decide to go to Kotor, so you have access to other fun things to do in the area that will get you away from the crowds. Tip- rent a scooter, then its so much easier to get around or take a cab. We found ourselves extremely frustrated with all the crowds and avoided the Old Town as much as we could ( we were there the second week of Sept 2024 ) What must it be like in the peak summer season?!? Kotor could be such an AMAZING destination if it wasnt for all the cruise ships.

The hotel was wonderful. The staff were amazing.Food was outstanding. We had one issue, there were many smokers in the hotel, eating dinner in their beautiful sea facing restaurant was uncomfortable. The management and workers were very friendly and caring.
