Montenegro Beach Resort

We are currently staying in this hotel. The rooms are good , clean and the breakfast is adequate although beans and tomatoes would be a bonus . There is building work at the back of the hotel and to get to the beach you have to cross a building site ( extension leads. Rubble pieces of metal poking out ) which was not explained by our tour company JET2 The outside bar shuts at 6 and the indoor bar is shocking with no atmosphere whatsoever The indoor and spa area is good It just feels like we’ve arrived before the season starts.

I arrived yesterday. Lots of road works on the way to hotel. Local area has an Eastern European feel to it. The natural surroundings are beautiful, unfortunately all the “man made” parts are either in need of some loving care or are still being build. Generally there are lots of items that look like they have been dumped as you walk from Becici to Budva town. The hotel is very average, not 4 star for sure. I’m in the old part of the hotel. The room is pleasant apart from the carpet, which looks very old and very dirty. I would not recommend this hotel if you are a non smoker. The first room I was offered stunk of cigarette smoke, so did the second room. I accepted the third room offered although it still smells, it’s not so bad. There are ashtrays in all rooms. The restaurant staff are miserable, and do nothing to make you feel welcome (especially the lady on the desk). The food is poor, apart from the salad and the pizzas. The deserts are all generic bought in, cheap and nasty cakes. There is no atmosphere whatsoever. None of the staff speak a word more than absolutely necessary. Well, I’ve tried it, and can’t say that I will ever come back.

First time in years that we have booked a full board holiday. I was worried about how the hotel would be but should not have as we had a great stay from start to finish. Great check-in with upgrade to a room in the newer block. Beautifully furnished, plenty big enough for our stay. Towels were changed every day and the room was always clean. The hotel beach was nice to swim at, we also used Kamenova Beach which was abt 1/2 hour walk along the beach front and was really unspoiled. Staff were friendly, entertainment in the evening was good and we met some lovely people staying there. The food was mixed and varied, sometimes a little colder than it should be perhaps...... Great salad bar and cheese board and the best pizza ever! Overall we had a great time.

We booked this believing it to be 4* It’s not! Please don’t misunderstand me the staff at reception can’t do enough and the rooms are clean and tidy well appointed in terms of furniture and bathroom. However whilst they give you a coffee machine for espresso coffee this is charged at €1.70 perk up if you want something else such as a simple coffee or tea there is Kettle to facilitate this. As I said the staff at reception were brilliant when we arrived they had not given us a twin room and as if they were hosting a conference there are no twin rooms left but they very quickly and swiftly gave us what they called a small sweet fundamentally a bedroom with a facility to create a sofa bed in the living area. Can’t fault them. However where they are lacking is 1 inside pool area, There are a number of lounges but these do not adjust so you have to eat a lie down or sit to the side. The Sun is good but the steam room simply got hotter and hotter to the point where it simply wasn’t usable by the end of the week. The lifeguard isn’t watching he seems basically to be a towel attendant. 2 lounge area and bar I accept whilst we were there there was a conference and so the area was very busy but this meant there was nowhere to sit after you’ve had your meal or before you went in the seats that were provided were rather uncomfortable and the area extremely noisy this included downstairs around reception where there was little to no comfortable space to relax over a coffee 3 The dining room I cannot fault the quality of the bread know the quality and amount of fruit that was offered but what we did find was the meals are repetitive and if you have a special diet i.e. vegan or vegetarian you will struggle added to which everything was called that was meant to be hot.Again I accept had it been The height of summer there may have been some local bars we could’ve attended but as we had paid for half-board it would have seem churlish not to use the facilities. At breakfast there is an egg station but the chef has made all the eggs up and they are sat there cold and an appetising. We didn’t have lunch but we did have dinner and again I’m sorry to say everything on the hot side was cold and again extremely repetitive. We never found the spa it seems to just be a beauty salon The little coffee shop outside is very nice and the staff fairly attentive but if you don’t get your order in quick I’m afraid they will quickly and swiftly move on to somebody else leaving you to contemplate whether you wish to stop or not Would I stop here again only if they do something with regards to the lounge and dining area that said we spoke the other guests who said gusto was very good that’s the outside bar.

Montenegro: Beautiful, but my ears are filing a formal complaint Stayed at this hotel — clean, tidy, friendly staff. Room was great, we also got a free upgrade to a superior side sea view room which was lovely. Huge comfy bed, stunning bathroom, plug sockets everywhere (probably more than in the UK Parliament). Daily maid service, though not enough coat hangers — the norm. Mini-bar surveillance: somehow they knew we had a Fanta, even though no one checked. Either psychic maids or secret agents — very James Bond, very unsettling. Coffee machine costs extra, dressing gowns are size “medium pretending to be large,” and you can’t bring your own snacks. Apparently, the hotel wants your soul… I mean, your money. Food: classic all-inclusive monotony — goulash, meat in yellow sauce, pizza, spaghetti bolognese, and cakes that taste exactly the same. Breakfast was fine, but after day two I had dreams of scrambled eggs screaming “eat me again!” All luke warm too. No decaff coffee. Luckily I'd taken my own and used their hot milk so that was lush. Beach & pool: imagine trying to relax in a market where everyone has been handed a megaphone. Hundreds of loud, rude guests turned a serene shoreline into a screaming contest. (Thankfully they left after 3 days but its a different way of living out there, loud, rude and dont stop talking, i dont think they even breathed whilst talking?) No peace whatsoever. By the pool, you get free flies and complimentary weed aromatherapy. The wellness centre was the only place of sanity — warm pool, sauna, ice pool — basically a tiny oasis in the noise apocalypse. Bar staff were… well-intentioned. Ordered Malibu and pineapple, got vodka and orange. Perfectly acceptable life swap. Bonus points: staff brought a birthday cake for my partner — sweet gesture amid the chaos. Take a walk through the tunnel which is a 5 minute walk from the hotel in to Budva, such a pretty old town. In short: lovely room, clean hotel, decent staff — if you’re after peace, quiet, and dignity, look elsewhere. Montenegro is stunning (although still being built so lots of rubble, unfinished buildings, graffiti)… just maybe don’t bring your ears and your oap bus pass.
