Palate was the jewel in our time in Montenegro. Our hotel room with its own terrace provided a restful space to relax and enjoy the view of the Small Beach without crowds pn the beach.
What a stunning property. If you are coming to Ulcinj, strongly advise staying in the Old Town: the most beautiful part of town with spectacular views.
This hotel is an excellent choice. The property is lovely, with a beautiful terrace on rooms level where we sat having a drink at our private table. Several terraces on the main level & outdoor restaurant tables. The pool area is nice (although the water chilly in April).
Room #A2 quite comfortable, views out to the sea, with a separate entrance area for a writing table, chair & WC entrance. Great if one of you is a light sleeper!
Breakfast: pretty typical for a hotel buffet: lots of fresh fruit, cereals, baked goods, juices, Balkan yogurt, honey, and they will make eggs to order (had cheese omelets our first morning which were excellent.)
2nd evening we had the buffet expecting traditional foods, but it was pretty staid stuff.
Suggest a la carte - esp fish which was excellent.
MOST outstanding? Service. Every single person we encountered was so helpful. Staff carried luggage to our room, the waiter in the breakfast room speaks English, German, Montenegrin, Russian. Evening waiter v friendly as well.
We planned to go from Ulcinj to Shkoder, Albania not realizing reg bus doesn't run on Saturdays. The lovely woman at reception suggested a mini van service that runs 2X a day: perfect! Picked us up near this hotel, has a special line at the border, go there super fast & REALLY reasonably. Thanks!

Young lady at reception helped us get transportation from Ulcinj to Shkoder, Albania.
Hadn't realized there'd be no buses on a Saturday!
She suggested a mini van that does two runs a day for just €7/pp from the bus station. Just €3/pp more he picked us up at the Fortress: 2 min walk!
