"Where to start? We have been so fortunate to have stayed in some amazing holiday venues over the years, however, the Movenpick in Risan just a short half hour local bus to Kotor, Old Town, was an exceptional experience from the moment we arrived until the time we left five days later.
It is the ambassadors who work at hotels, that make a stay so memorable and this particular hotel has such an outstanding team working together to make every guest’s stay an unforgettable experience.
While we did not get the name of everyone who took such wonderful care of us, we hope that management will pass on our thanks to those we have not mentioned, of how much we valued their care and kindness.
At reception we were warmly received by Aldina, offered a cooling welcome drink and seamlessly checked in for our five nights at the Movenpick. Recognition of our diamond ALL ACCOR membership was noted and what was available for us to access during our stay shared. With the assistance of the wonderful Luka who helped us with our bags to our room 152, we immediately knew that this was going to be a wonderful stay.
Our room was spacious and very comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay available. Including a kitchen area with utensils and crockery, a dishwasher and even more appreciated, a washing machine and dryer. Far more than we ever had anticipated when booking this newly opened hotel in May this year. 2026.
Breakfast was included in our renovation and was exceptional. A huge choice of options was available to suit every taste with dining either outside on the terrace or inside in the beautifully appointed dining room.
We were planning to eat out in the village of RIsan or surfer afield, but the Mawer’s restaurant on the beach or the main restaurant in the hotel itself was so good we didn’t need to look anywhere else to dine during our stay.
The sandy beach and the beautiful pools were a real treat inn the hot days we experience during our stay. Towels were always available as were lounges and cabanas. The waters of the Adriatic were so inviting we spent many a happy and relaxing hour just unwinding after seven weeks of being on the road.
Having mentioned how important the team who looked after us during our stay was, it now comes to one of the reasons this hotel stands out as an exceptional experience. It is not often you see management engage so fulsomely with guests, however we were blessed to have met, Nikola, the hotel Food and Beverage manager at the Movenpick!
What.an outstanding gentleman he was and clearly ambitious to make the Movenpick Risan a brilliant and unforgettable experience for guests. We cannot thank Nikola enough for engaging with us so generously and taking such care and interest in us. As did all the staff we met during our stay.
