Forte Rose Resort

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.

Beautiful spot , excellent water but worst service ever, you have to go around and look for the waiter, very rude staff, no shower at the beach, not even 10% of the money you pay is worth it, be careful if you are planning to visit you will get out from here ripped off!! Worst place at Boka Bay for sure!

Hospitality and service was exceptional! Food was delicious, ambient and view is beautiful. We got the tour through the winery and facility. I recommend it fully. Very friendly, definitely coming back.

Looks good from the sea, feels terrible when on the shore. Overrated place with ok food and season workers who doesn’t have a clue how to deal with the clients. They brought bottle of wine in the basket and place it on sun site from the table. When I said that wine will be warm, the reply from the worker was that “ he cannot change for sun to shine”. For 49 min there was no appetizers, no bread but only warm wine, which waiter brought in a minute after we placed an order. Vongoles in wine souse were great, but nothing else. We would have some pictures, but at that time it honestly looked like a piece of excrement on the plate with nothing else there! Our waiter told her it will take 6 min to prepare a side dish. We waited for 30 min with our meats sitting in 35 degrees heat. After that we threw our meats out and abruptly left. Stay away from places open only during season. They don’t care about you

We arrived at the mouth of the Sea of Kotor, and stopped at the delightful little fishing village of Rose. On arrival we moored at Resort Forte Rose, a beautifully restored old Fort on the eastern peninsula of the little village. We had a delicious lunch in the restaurant overlooking the sea, and were shown around the resort by the very polite and informative receptionist Dusân. This resort is a little gem, with and highly recommended. Dusân showed us beautiful appointed rooms all with their own terraces overlooking the sea. There is a lovely courtyard garden in the centre with mature Olive trees, bougainvillea, and a small swimming pool. At the back of the courtyard is a second restaurant with a well stocked wine cellar and local cured meats and cheeses. The staff were all so welcoming and helpful. Definitely thinking of coming back soon.
