Regent Porto Montenegro

The Regent Porto Montenegro is located in a purpose built luxury marina village in the heart of Boka Bay. The beautiful resort hotel offers many options for couples and families looking to get away from it all and explore Montenegro. The Regent currently has two main accommodation buildings, the Venetian style original building and the Aqua building which offers a slightly more contemporary feel. My Deluxe Seaview Room was very spacious and it had a wonderful balcony overlooking the marina and the Mediterranean sunsets. There is one fine dining restaurant and multiple casual restaurant options on site. The Regent Porto Village is also Home to either other dining options and the town of Tivat is less than a five minute walk away. The hotel offers a spa with an indoor swimming pool, a huge new outdoor swimming pool and access to the Marina yacht club pool located just a five minute walk away. Montenegro does not have any private beaches but the hotel has access to a lovely beach that is staffed by their employees and it is just a 15 minute boat ride away. The Regent concierge would be happy to arrange excursions to Kotor, Lake Skadar or even further afield. Overall, this hotel and marina village are a lovely option for those wishing to explore Montenegro. The service was slightly spotty during my stay and but it was a public holiday on Montenegro and therefore they may have been overwhelmed.

Situated just 15 minutes from Tivat airport this is the ideal base for those seeking a waterside retreat for a long weekend, or as part of a wider itinerary exploring Montenegro and neighbouring Croatia. It's within an arms reach of a variety of great dining options and shops, with a variety of activities available to keep adults and children alike entertained, from access to a members pool club, boat trips to a secluded beach, and bike hire to explore Tivat old town and surrounds. You're also a short drive from the UNESCO World Heritage fortified town of Kotor and the quaint town of Perast.

The staff of the Regent Porto Montenegro go out of their way to make you feel welcome, endeavouring to always refer to guests by name. They have a lovely outdoor pool overlooking the sea and surrounding hills, which is lovely to swim in at sunset and watch the colours change. They also have an indoor pool, gym and spa as well as a few different dining options. For families looking for apartment style accommodation, certain room categories come with fully kitted kitchenettes. A neighbouring sister property is set to open next summer which will have a large family friendly pool guests of the Regent will be able to use, and a number of new stores and restaurants are due to open by then too - definitely one to watch!

I really liked the hotel as a whole and thought that the location right on the water was great. There are many restaurants to choose from along the marina village too. The hotels interior style like a luxury cruise liner is unique and something I've never seen in a hotel before.

The food in 'The Dining Room' is delicious and definitely worth trying a platter of the traditional smoked cheese and meats paired with either a Montenegrin red wine, Macedonian white or Serbian rose.
