Hotel Admiral

Perast is a mini town with one road along the edge of the Bay. Lined with lovely places to stay on one side and dining areas built over the water. The view along and across the water were incredible and the setting of Perast with its churches and monasteries was so picturesque. We chose Hotel Admiral for our 1 day stay. What a cute old heritage place that has been renovated for the comfort of guests. We were 3 senior couples and we needed help to take up the luggage to our 1st floor rooms. There is no lift but the staff were very helpful and carried the luggage to our rooms. Thank you very much. Actually there is a short flight of steps before you reach the small reception. And the staircase from there leads to the rooms. As our rooms were getting ready we could use the restrooms on the ground floor. We had a spacious room with a window that opened to a fantastic sea view.. and a skylight. Milena , the owner was very welcoming and cheerful. As we had reached early from Zabljak she suggested that we take a boat ride to the Lady of Rocks island . It was Euro 5 per person . Unbelievable the number of tourists who were landing on the island mid noon! We got our rooms that were cleaned up. Lunch was at the restaurant.. We ordered fish and some other dishes. But felt that the quantity for the price was a bit less. Maybe it's the fact that its on prime location! The hotel arranged for taxis to take us to Kotor cable car station and the old town and back. Night brought on the twinkling lights on the shore and the sparkles in the water Breakfast next day was included. There was a set menu with 3 different choices and it was ample and designed to suit different preferences. The wait staff is very obliging. Sitting outdoors in the Morning light was a totally different vibe in Perast. An extra day in Perast would have given us more time to explore nearby places . Parking of vehicles usually is a bit further down the road and the hotel sends a buggy. But I think because it was not high season our vehicle was allowed to go to the hotel. On the whole Hotel Admiral with its lovely host Milena was a good experience for us!

Walking past all the places on the waterfront, this place caught my eye, as it had grilled octopus, which i do love! The girl we talked to was very engaging and friendly and we decided to come back there for our meal later. The setting is lovely and is just across the tiny waterfront roadway from the hotel itself, so we sat right next to the bay as it lapped up to the platform - very nice. I did order the grilled octopus, which was indeed nice, although I wouldn't say it was outstanding. The wife had sea bass, which was tasty but they seem to leave their fish on the bone in Montenegro, so that rather detracted from her enjoyment of it. Pleasant place to eat and friendly staff, food OK but not the best we'd had on our stay locally.
