Palmon Bay Hotel and Spa

We stayed in Room 626 for 10 days. On arrival check in was smooth & the room was clean. We had a side sea view and the room was quiet. We were half board and only ate one at the hotel in the evening as I personally did not find the food appealing or well presented, borderline tasteless. Breakfast has a good choice and we used this every morning. The spa is excellent & massages are reasonably priced we paid €30 for a 30 minute massage each. The olive terrace has a lovely view however there is only one waitress and the poor woman is rushed off her feet. The pool area has amazing views over the bay and you never struggle to get a sun-bed and can choose between either the beach or the pool.

We have just returned from a 10 day stay. The hotel is beautiful. Very clean. Staff very welcoming and were friendly and courteous at all times. Hotel was immaculate and rooms maintained to a high standard. We had a side sea view on the 6th floor and views were stunning. Room was comfortable and we both slept well. We had written to the hotel with specific room request and it was clear they had taken on board our request. Spa is lovely. The private pool and beach area is really lovely and you get clean towels every day. There is also a further sunbathing area and pool on the first floor which is lovely. The only negative we had was the quality and choice of evening meals. It was very unimaginative and extremely repetitive. It was such a shame because if the evening meals were better it would make the hotel perfect. No problems with breakfast. Around the hotel we loved the promenade with shops and a good choice of excellent restaurants where you can eat overlooking the sea. You can walk for miles along the prom and Herceg Novi was a 30 min walk and lovely to explore. Trips were very reasonable. The whole area is stunningly beautiful. We had a lovely holiday and would definitely return to the same hotel but would do bed and breakfast unless the evening meals improved significantly.

My husband and I recently spent two weeks at the palmon bay. We had a side sea view looking out towards Herceg novi which was lovely to watch the sunrise over the mountains. The hotel itself is beautiful with and very high spec. The room wasn’t huge but big enough when you’re out all day enjoying the surroundings, lovely shower room, very modern. The buildings neighbouring the hotel are much older and have a 70s vibe but as previous reviewers have said, please be realistic about the area you are visiting, Montenegro is much less developed than neighbouring Croatia but the landscape is equally as staggeringly beautiful, don’t let some buildings that you’re not staying in put you off given that the price you’ll pay for a high class of hotel in Montenegro is s much cheaper than you would in Croatia - for now! We spent most days on the jetty, this hotel was perfect for me who loves the sea and my husband who prefers the pool- best of both worlds. The pool bar was more expensive than local bars and restaurants but you’re able to do whatever suits your budget. Always sun beds available regardless of the time of day you arrived at the pool. We were bed and breakfast, the breakfast is just ok, nothing great and could be doing with an omelette or pancake station, we did eat locally for breakfast a couple of mornings to mix it up. We had dinner at the rooftop restaurant one night and it was delicious with amazing views, we had some pre dinner drinks here too some nights, enjoying the views. The downstairs bar was very accommodating in showing requested champions league and europa league games and the staff are very friendly here. We had been keen to book the hotel boat to visit Kotor but they needed a minimum of 7 people to run the boat, we tried on 3 separate mornings but no luck and ended up having to get the bus which was disappointing. We booked the private spa and massage which was lovely, the spa area is gorgeous and very relaxing we used this area which is free to guests several times over our stay. My husband used the gym too, it’s small but he was able to get a decent enough workout. We booked the hotel taxi to and from Dubrovnik airport having heard of the border queues, very glad we did, our driver went to the smaller border and we arrived within 30 minutes at our hotel instead of on a bus for hours, we also travelled back to Dubrovnik airport did our return flight in the hotel taxi- well worth the 45 euros! Overall, can not recommend this hotel enough, by far the best in the area and much closer to the bars, restaurants and Herceg novi (20 minute stroll) than the Herceg novi iberostar.
