ESSENZA Hotel & SPA

Emplacement idéal et parking gratuit Un petit déjeuner extraordinaire et un personnel aux petits oignons Nous y retournerons dès que possible

Superbe hôtel à l'écart du bruit et des odeurs de Kotor, face à la mer et proche de petits restaurants. Personnel au petit soin et toujours disponible. Bon petit déjeuner, parking à disposition . En saison , piscine et bord de plage présents et agréables.

Excellent séjour dans un hôtel moderne et confortable disposant d'une magnifique vue sur la baie de Kotor sans subir les désagréments de la foule de touristes inondant littéralement la vieille ville de Kotor. Déjeuner préparé avec soin uniquement avec des produits frais et renouvelés chaque jour pour le plaisir des papilles.

The property is beautifully situated in a cove. Old & new architecture are blended well. For the price (mid-high) Essenza is striving for seasoned international travellers who are looking for quality offerings and solid customer service. The good news is that if it can deliver on both, then Essenza has the potential to be a standout spot for return visits from a loyal clientele, both in peak and off-season. The bad news is we found the service very inconsistent. Management would be wise to take note and help train employees to up their game. Pros: - Hotel personnel mostly speak English (great!) - On-site parking for those who do not wish to rely on taxi transfers - Spa with sauna, steam room, small pool and very small gym - Exclusive seaside deck with bar, lounge chairs and open cabanas with food service (during peak season) - Friendly personnel at reception and seaside lounge Cons: - Spa attendant acts very inconvenienced by your presence and changes opening hours at will. She locks entry doors an hour before closing time, barely smiles, and complains about having "difficulties with clients." With that attitude, no shock. - Housekeeping does BARE minimum, does not replace coffee, tea, water or toiletries. - Breakfast could improve with higher quality yoghurt and coffee from ground beans instead of powdered residue masquerading as cappuccino et al. Hotel takes debit/credit cards but many spots in Dubrota/Kotor take cash only + ATMs charge outrageous fees. Prepare!

The location is good, away from the crowds of Kotor and the hotel has beautiful views of the bay. The beach area is nice. The poor rating has more to do with the beds and noise from other rooms. At this price point you should be able to get a good nights sleep. The beds were very hard. If I could do it again, I’d pay a bit more for a place that’s a bit nicer and more comfortable.
