The Details That Made The List
Why it's on my list. A major resort brand on a coastline with very few true luxury options — the supply-demand math alone earns it a look.
The Montenegro context I already have. Having scored Mamula as a guest and toured Aman Sveti Stefan with its GM, I know exactly what the local bar is — and where it isn't being met.
The honest-guide format. When I do visit, Portonovi gets the same treatment as the others: full scoring, no press materials, clearly labeled.
The Fine Print, From Your Advisor
I haven't visited yet. That's stated plainly in my Montenegro guide — the same guide where I publish complete scores when I have them.
Fly into Tivat. The same arrival advice I give for the whole coast: international arrivals clear immigration before any onward transfer.
Building a full Adriatic trip? I pair Montenegro's hotels hotel-by-hotel — tell me your dates and I'll tell you honestly which property earns which nights.
Next up in my guide, on my booking list today — and when I've walked it, you'll get the full scored review, not a brochure.
