Forte Rose Resort

Loved the hotel Forte Rose. Beautifully renovated, and located in the picturesque stone Village of Rose. The views across the bay over to Herceg Novi are spectacular. We enjoyed the fine dining at the restaurant, the Sunset views and the early morning swims. The staff was wonderfully kind and efficient.

Absolutely amazing view and experience on the water! We loved every second of it. The service is fantastic and the food is exceptional. A taste of Montenegro at its finest.

Great setting as the restaurant is in its own bay within Kotor Bay with views out towards the sea. We were helped tying to a bouy. Later their own Rib collected us on time and dropped us on their jetty. All the staff have been really nice and obviously naturally friendly. My wife had steak and I had Tiger prawn Pasta. Both were excellent. We drank a Croatian wine which was excellent. Prices were the norm for The region. Loved it… will be back again.

I should start by saying I did not stay here, but as part of a group of 10 staying in a villa in nearby Klinci, we found ourselves in the beautiful village of Rose a lot as it has the only shop for miles. Whilst exploring we found this hotel and made use of its facilities. Firstly, we rented sun loungers on the beautiful beach (it has a number, I’m not sure what number!) which has a 100m stretch with umbrellas, loungers and drink service (no food - this is the only thing that would have made it better). The beach is shingle so water shoes are recommended, especially since one of our group stepped on a sea urchin… ouch! We also asked the reception about boat tours. Rose is absolutely beautiful and located at the mouth of Kotor Bay, but unlike any of the larger towns there are no boat tour operators there despite the perfect location. The receptionist introduced us to Milan, who in turn arranged a wonderful day out on the resorts sailing yacht where we visited the blue cave, went for a swim and stopped off for a lovely Rosé lunch. The Forte Rose team also fitted our group of 10 into the restaurant upon our return where we had an enjoyable and delicious dinner. We found the team at the hotel so helpful that we arranged a return trip to Tivat by speedboat which was a great way to see the bay and the return journey in the pitch-black darkness (whilst 4 kids sang ABBA songs, as a result of watching Mamma Mia the previous evening) was a particular highlight. We also arranged speedboat transfers to both Tivat airport and to Herceg Novi and were so impressed at how helpful staff were each time we made a request. Whilst the village of Rose is quite remote by road it really is easy to get to by sea and having someone reliable to contact to arrange boat trips made our holiday so much better. It is also very extremely beautiful, and several of our group have said if we were to return it would involve a stay at this hotel. Thank you to everyone who was so helpful, despite us not being hotel residents. Your can-do attitude was a real highlight of our stay in Montenegro.

Where mountains meet ocean in a perfect way for those who consider nature and peace more important than fine dining.
