Carine Hotel Park

We had a few reservations after reading some of the reviews before we arrived, but most we found to be unfounded. The staff were polite,welcoming, and very helpful. The room was clean and modern with a fabulous seaview. There was always something tasty to eat but as I find with most all inclusive if you like your food hot use the microwave. The fresh omlettes were great and we found the fresh bread and soup was lovely. We booked some excursions through Fram who explained the guide would be in French. We were OK with this. The trip to Budva and Porto montenegro, they sat us at the front of the coach so she could explain the trip details to us in English. On the Blue cave trip and Kotor boat trip he spoke good English and explained the trip meeting times and we felt very included. Our trip was to celebrate our 30th wedding Anniversary so the hotel left a lovely bottle of sparkling wine in our room, a very nice touch. Yes the hotel is mainly for French guests, but we didn't want to do activities during the day so this didn't bother us at all. The only negatives I can say is the cocktails are bad, and as I have been to Croatia a few times, I knew their cola is awful but I just supply my own from the local supermarket. The beer is peroni and all the spirits were fine. A trip to Herceg Novi is just 1 euro each way on the bus directly outside the hotel and is a lovely place to visit.

There isn’t many hotels that has this many facilities in the area. It’s only 20 mins from Perast and about 40 from Kotor, so a good base for exploring the area. There is a free car park opposite the hotel. There’s isn’t loads of spaces, but we didn’t struggle in October. The hotel decor is nice, but some cheap fixtures eabd the bright green is garish, otherwise with everything else I think it would be a luxury hotel. Staff are super, so friendly and helpful on reception. I emailed in advance to say it was a belated anniversary and when we checked in there was a spa voucher and free champagne in the room, so lovely. the food and drink are pleasant also, but one lady serving the ice cream was very grumpy. Food and drink was good, lots of choices some options were a bit dry, but others were restaurant quality. But so many items to choose from you won’t go hungry. I didn’t even have a snack! The drinks were varied enough, even including mocktails. My hubby commented that the beer wasn’t very nice, but he still drank it. Lots of soft drinks to choose from. Rooms were big and nice that they provided shampoo and shower gel. Good balcony. Room was vaults noisy the first nice as could hear room noise and guests in the corridor. Filtered water machines outside were appreciated. Eve entertainment was a bit random in the congress centre out the way, but the cultural dancing was the best. The beach was nice, clean with lots of loungers and amazing views. Cost €20 cash to hire a pool towel, but you get your money back once you hand the towel in. Just make sure you have cash!! Didn’t have chance to use the pools but they looked clean. Spa was amazing, worth the €10 fee as the views overlooking the mountains are breathtaking. I would not recommend the massages though as they were expensive but but not very strong (despite asking fur casting massage!). Great hotel but bear it mind it does get very busy. Good to be all inclusive as no restaurants within walking distance.
