Hotel Forza Mare

We spent three blissful days here as the first stop on our Montenegro holiday.|It’s one of the most lovely hotels I have ever stayed. It was perfect for me and my teenager daughter and me as a base to explore Kotor but also relax. The rooms are beautiful and very spacious. The staff are so friendly and helpful, we felt really welcome and well looked after. The private beach was wonderful for some serenity. Lots of lovely restaurants to walk to as well.

“Forza Mare” is a small, charming boutique hotel — if I am not mistaken, it has only 8 rooms — and its greatest asset is without a doubt the exceptional service. The people here truly make the place!!! Draco and Diana, thank you for everything — your kindness and attentiveness were above and beyond. The hotel also has a small, private beach, which really adds to the overall experience, especially on hot summer days. Breakfast was another highlight, with a wide variety of high-quality offerings, beautifully presented and delicious. However, it is worth noting that the hotel is not suitable for guests who are not in good physical shape. There are many stairs in every direction and no elevator, so accessibility can be a challenge. As for the room — we were given the “Venezia” room, which, to their credit, was the one we requested and they clearly made an effort to accommodate us. While it did offer a sea view, the room was very small and unfortunately not to our taste at all. One issue that detracted from the otherwise serene atmosphere was a late-night party in the hotel restaurant during our last night, which went on into the early hours without any warning. It was far too loud and disrupted the sense of peace the hotel otherwise strives to offer. All in all, the warmth of the staff and the care they put into everything left a positive impression, but there are a few points worth considering before booking.

Forza Mare is a lovely hotel. We had a large room on floor one just outside the breakfast and yet it was quiet and the beds are comfortable. Bathroom shower has sufficient pressure and the window opens slightly to dry swimwear. They have an amazing breakfast plenty of choices and mimosas! The jacuzzi overlooking the bay was a treat! Darko at the desk is the most efficient helpful and friendly person. We loved all the staff but he stood out helping with bags booking taxis and giving advice on what restaurants to try. Highly recommend

We loved everything about this hotel. It’s beautifully done and exceptionally clean. The location is far enough out of the Old town to not be disturbed by noise, but close enough to hop in a cab to visit. The breakfast options were brilliant. You can choose a hot option from the menu while helping yourself to the continental buffet also. We did eat lunch at the hotel regularly. It isn’t cheap. But if you want cheap you wouldn’t be staying at the Forze Mare. You get what you pay for! There are fast food places towards the old town. You can borrow bikes and take a cycle down. What made this place SO special were the staff. They don’t stop all shift. They work long hours in the incredible heat but never stop smiling! Always so willing to help and go above and beyond. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye to them.

Great location. Peaceful and away from the city noise yet just an easy 8 minute drive to town. Parking is included which is a nice plus. The spa can be reserved for private use in one hour slots, just be sure to let the staff know in advance. If you’ve arranged a private boat tour, there’s a dock right at the hotel for convenient pick-up and drop-off. The main downside was the food which was quite mediocre. You’re definitely paying for the view rather than the dining experience. I’d strongly recommend choosing another spot for lunch or dinner.

We loved our time at Forza Mare. At only 10 rooms this is a classic boutique hotel - the room itself was lovely and we were lucky enough to have a balcony looking out to Kotor bay. Food was consistently excellent - breakfast is buffet style but with a wide choice of things made fresh by the chef. We had one lunch and dinner and were impressed by both, the wine list was excellent. Ultimately the service was stand out - the staff are brilliant, attentive and friendly. I’m very grateful for the help planning out our days and making our trip to Montenegro so relaxing.

A beautiful boutique hotel, immaculate with stunning views of Kotor Bay and a faultless staff. The restaurant was superb and the waiters treated us like family. There's not a lot to do in the area--the Old Town, a boat tour of other towns/landmarks on the Bay--but if you're looking for calm, relaxation, and the utmost in pampering, Forza Mare is perfect for you.

We were having lunch at this restaurant and they charged us some fees without informing us. They charged us for extra food that they served without us asking for it and that we didn’t eat + service fee. The staff also weren’t the friendliest. While I was still wondering what i should order, they just walked away from the table. Despite that, the salad that we ordered and the view were very good.
