Visited during the off-season, so the prices were much more affordable compared to peak season. Although only two restaurants were open, the food was delicious. The hotel staff were very attentive and helpful. Highly recommended!

My wife and I stayed from March 2nd to 5th, 2026. The pictures on the website really don't do this place justice – it's a truly luxurious hotel with first-class service.
When we walked into our room, we were absolutely blown away by its design, spaciousness, and the stunning view of the Bay of Kotor and the beautiful hotel grounds. The bathroom deserves a special mention; it's as large as the bedroom! It features a huge panoramic window (which can be covered by blinds), a spacious walk-in wardrobe, and even a sofa right in the middle.
The staff are beyond excellent, and I'm not talking about those with 'plastic' smiles. These are highly professional people with a genuine approach to guests. Breakfast is served à la carte, but everything is prepared and brought out very quickly. The hotel itself is located within the gated community of the new Portonovi development – it's an entire 'city' with hotels, apartments, restaurants, boutiques, and a beautiful marina filled with yachts.
I highly recommend everyone visit the town of Herceg Novi; it truly offers memorable experiences. The promenade, stretching 6 km, and of course, the old town, deserve special attention. At the very top of the old town, you'll find a Roman amphitheater. It just so happened that my wife and I were completely alone there, and we even felt like performers – singing our favorite songs.
Definitely recommend: this hotel is truly superb!

Service: Excellent! The staff were very efficient with positive, smiling attitudes, and respected guest privacy but were always there when needed. I especially loved the gym – they had water, protein powder, and even thoughtfully labeled the energy content of the Choco bar. This is currently my top hotel! They even gave a farewell gift when I checked out. It was a wonderful and relaxing experience :)

Beautiful location, but the service doesn't live up to the One&Only standard.
The hotel is situated in a lovely spot, and the grounds are pleasant, but unfortunately, our experience fell far short of what we've come to expect from the One&Only brand.
Throughout our stay, we encountered numerous basic issues. At breakfast, waiters repeatedly brought dishes and drinks to our table that we hadn't ordered, and one staff member even made an inappropriate comment about us having 'ordered too much.' Service at the beach was very poor: staff often stood around in groups, chatting amongst themselves or looking at their phones, while guests had to call out multiple times just to order water or food.
There were also concerns about the quality of the beachside food: the fruit initially served was stale and unappetizing, the salad was oversalted, and the tuna was overcooked. Although the fruit was later replaced, situations like these shouldn't happen at a hotel of this caliber.
In our room, the bed was made up of two mattresses with a noticeable gap in the middle, making for a very uncomfortable night's sleep. The condition of the beach restroom behind the restaurant was particularly disappointing: an unpleasant odor, dirty floors, and a general sense that it wasn't regularly cleaned.
The hotel team responded to our complaints and apologized, but during our stay, it became clear that these problems were systemic across various areas of the hotel. One&Only in other countries has always been synonymous for us with high levels of service, attention to detail, and comfort. Here, unfortunately, the service was far from the expected standard of a five-star luxury hotel.
The hotel has great potential, but currently, the quality of service needs significant improvement.

The service was truly exceptional; they even sent us a cake and wine. However, my friend's earring went missing here, presumably during room cleaning, and it was never found. The hotel environment itself is very good.

While the service and environment are undeniably good, it's not quite as amazing as people make it out to be online. If you're just curious to try it out, I'd say skip it. The hotel dinner is also very expensive.

The scenery was amazing, but the service was terrible. The few staff members at the front desk were completely incompetent; the procedures were a mess, and every time I passed by, several people were chatting and playing on their phones.
The most outrageous thing was that the activities service department booked a speedboat trip for us, but the boat ran out of fuel halfway through the trip, and we were adrift at sea off Montenegro for 40 minutes waiting for rescue...

Seven years ago, I visited Montenegro and stayed at an Aman hotel. With fond memories, I returned and stayed at One&Only, but unfortunately, I was generally disappointed.
First, the advantages: the rooms were relatively large, the sea view was beautiful, the swimming pool was nice, and the breakfast service was good—all meeting the standards of a hotel of this level, but nothing particularly surprising or unexpected. Also, because the hotel is located within a mixed-use real estate development, privacy was lacking.
As a top-tier luxury hotel brand, this hotel completely failed to meet standards in service and dining. Firstly, there were no welcome drinks at check-in. I saw that the group of guests before us had them, but apparently, our group didn't. The next day, I saw other guests without welcome drinks either, indicating a very casual service.
The concierge service was extremely unprofessional. When I inquired about available itineraries, the staff seemed unfamiliar with the business and had no idea how to recommend suitable itineraries. They simply answered my questions, rushed to provide quotes, and spoke curtly. The next day, when I went to book airport transfer, another staff member was very impatient, completely lacking the professionalism expected of a concierge.
We arrived quite late on the first day and ordered room service. The steamed rice they delivered had a puddle of water at the bottom of the bowl – completely unacceptable! Lacking confidence in the hotel's food, we didn't eat dinner at the hotel restaurant afterwards. There's a pretty good Rock Fish restaurant in a nearby neighborhood; we ate there two nights in a row. It cost about 80 euros per person, and the seafood soup was incredibly delicious.
In short, this One&Only hotel didn't offer the personalized, high-end service of a top-tier luxury hotel at all; everything was quite ordinary.
This trip to Montenegro was beautiful, but also filled with regrets. Montenegrin Airlines even lost our checked luggage when we left, and we still haven't found it.

Response from Property: Dear Buerderen, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your recent stay with us. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet the high expectations rightfully associated with both your past stays in Montenegro and with the One&Only brand. While we are pleased to know that you enjoyed your spacious room, beautiful sea views, and the quality of our breakfast service and pool facilities, I deeply regret that some aspects of your stay fell short. Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconsistencies you encountered in our arrival experience, concierge service, and in-room dining. What you described is not reflective of our standards, nor of the personalised, intuitive service that One&Only strives to deliver. The welcome drink should indeed be offered to all our guests, and we are investigating internally to understand how this was missed during your stay and to prevent such lapses from recurring. Your comments regarding the concierge service, in particular, have been shared with the management team for immediate review and retraining to ensure improvement. We are also very sorry that your in-room dining experience on the first evening did not meet expectations. I regret that this influenced your decision not to visit our restaurants thereafter, as we take great pride in the quality, creativity, and care behind our culinary offerings. The situation you mentioned will be addressed with our culinary team to ensure consistency at all times. Although not related to the resort, I was also very sorry to hear that your luggage was lost upon departure. Should we be able to assist in any way regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our team. We genuinely value your observations, as they help us refine our service and uphold the level of excellence our guests deserve. We truly hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to restore your confidence in our resort and to provide the seamless, world-class experience we are known for. Sincerely, Andreas Porias General Manager

My third stay at this hotel, the best in Montenegro. It truly lives up to its One Only status. The hotel's yacht service (extra charge) is worth trying. The restaurant's cuisine may not be to Chinese tastes.
