I must say right away that the impressions of visiting Iberostar Bellevue are positive, and when asked if I would recommend visiting it, the answer will be just as positive.
The bus pulls up to the ring at the main entrance (this is the Grand building). The girls at the reception are polite, they speak broken Russian. Hospitable Montenegrins in general, even among themselves, speak broken Russian. Probably out of respect for us. Having learned the name, we were sent to the next building - this is the Park building - there is your number, go there, there is your reception. OK, come to your reception. It is on the second (! ) floor. funny? In fact, the building stands on a slope, and there is a direct entrance to the reception from the side of the village, but we enter already from the territory of the hotel, and we have to drag our suitcases up the stairs. We find out that our room is on the 1st floor (the real first, which is closer to the ground, which, we get upset, and scurry down again. It turned out that the 1st floor in the Park building is good. The balcony, although not a balcony, but just a patch of surface at the exit to the lawn Growing trees create a shady atmosphere of comfort and coziness even in the July heat of the day, and monsters crawling on the ground gently tickle your legs. So we got acquainted with the larva of the ocellated hawk moth, which came to visit us.
Handsome. The child is delighted. Mom is horrified. The father is yet to be determined.

The room is small but capacious: two single beds are placed at once, a three-leaf wardrobe, a dressing table with a mirror, an extra bed from a carefully laid out armchair. And, 2 more nightstands. Even for the passage between the bed and the closet there is a place if you are without a suitcase and the closet doors are closed. The TV (something about 50 channels, including 1st, RTR Planeta, Russia24, STS, TNT, etc. ) does not hang on the wall, but stands on a bedside table, outside the flight path. This is important, given the high quality of the wine in the restaurant (and in Montenegro in general) and the frequent use of the autopilot when landing in the dark in the evening and at night. Two joints in the room: in the shower compartment (not the cabin, but the compartment) the floor is made with a slope... FROM the drain hole. That is, when the shower is running, first a water level of 0.5-1 cm is collected on the floor, and then only it reaches the hole. I would even call it not a drain, but an overflow hole. But on the other hand, hardened heels soak well, you can even do without a Schö ll file with just your nails.
The second cant is the parallel-real operation of the electronic card-key-transponder. The door lock opens without complaints, and the control unit on the wall lives its own life - it doesn’t see the card at all, requiring it to make alternating accelerations in the crack, in the sense of putting it in and getting it out several times (I don’t know how to describe it, and so, and so the ambiguity turns out, but in general, you need to fuck with it), and sometimes even after removing the card it does not turn off the power supply, and after dinner (an hour later) we returned to the room with the air conditioner and sockets working.
There are two restaurants: one in the Grand building on the 1st floor, small, with a gorgeous view of the wall or the road, but without the need for stairs. The second one is in the Terrace building, but already on the third floor, with a large balcony overlooking the sea-mountains (especially at dinner, the view of the mountains in the rays of sunset delivered. Or maybe this is it, the already mentioned high-quality dry red wine). In short, the reason is unclear, but at dinner something on the balcony delivers.
The menus in both restaurants differ in the facial expressions of the staff (there are more smiles in the Terrace). Meat dishes to choose from every day, seafood - too. Plus, with visitors, several dishes are prepared (on half a baking sheet - tuna fillet, on the other - some kind of meat). Olives, vegetables, fruits, cold appetizers, 5 types of ice cream, there are fried animals that were fried before our eyes, but already in the form of cold dishes, in salads. For some reason, it seems to me that all all-inclusive restaurants indulge in this.

It is worth mentioning the breakfasts - they are varied: fried eggs on one side, like our fried eggs; eggs fried on both sides; omelet with plants; omelet with bacon; hard-boiled eggs and soft-boiled eggs. As well as kefirs, yogurt (thin), Cosmostars-type pads, corn flakes, pastries (cool) and Sipurak marmalada. What's this? This is rosehip jam. Such an interesting one. There are other jams too.
Since the beginning of July, dried apricots have ceased to be displayed in restaurants. I love her, so I began to yearn. Probably, the new arrival of hungry tourists ate everything. Prunes, by the way, also decreased. And there were no raisins on our last day.
The territory is quite large, well-groomed. Gardener, apparently, is a fan of his work, all the bushes and lawns are neatly mowed, even his hands got to the palm trees. If you completely cut off all the leaves of a palm tree, you get such a huge male organ. Salovnik entertainer.
Sun loungers by the pool are free, and at first people went to borrow them early, but then, when there were more vacationers, additional sun loungers were placed on the lawns under the trees in a very considerable amount. And you can find a free place in the shade without an early rise. On the beach, the first two lines - 10 Euros for an umbrella and a couple of sun loungers, on rows 3-99 - 8 Euros each. Joke. The 12th row is already in the shade of trees and closer to the pool than to the sea. Free.
The bars on the beach and by the pool make a living by diluting drinks with water (actually, in the pool-bar, the cola is 2 times more diluted than in the pizzeria). And after 18-00 they also ask for money for this. In the pizzeria on the 1st floor of the Terrace building, drinks are not diluted, freely available until 00:00. And beer too. And even memorable wine. You can't drink that much.
There is water in the pool. None of us ever went to the pool, we went to the sea. Although you can swim in the pool, we saw such people.
The animation is good. Correct. Not violently rumbling, but almost constantly something is happening somewhere on the territory. The child has something to do.

Three tennis courts, clay, the quality of the coverage - C grade. The surface is flat, but require the addition of soil crumbs. For all-inclusive residents, these courts are free from 10-00 to 15-00. Very convenient: you play and sunbathe at the same time, and your opponent runs around the court and just dies in the rays of the scorching sun. Feel sorry for the opponent? Time earlier or later - 10 Euro per hour. Lighting in the evening - another 5 Euro per hour. In general, humanism is an expensive thing.
The beach is everything. There is generally everything. Sun loungers, umbrellas, people, children, women (almost naked), children, sand, stones, pebbles (in the sense of pellet stones). The exit from the sea is pebbles that keep the sand clean and pleasantly massaging the foot, and 2 meters from the water there is a warm, gentle sand that enhances the massage effect, clogging between the skin and flip flops. The decking path starts 10 meters from the water, which allows bathers to fully enjoy all types of beach coverage. Neither sand nor pebbles can be jumped over. Some unlucky opponents of foot massage build paths into the sea out of large flat cobblestones. But the adamant Montenegrins daily throw these stones into the sea at night. Lovers of luxury and sun loungers on the beach are regularly visited by ticket sellers for 2 Euros (moreover, animals are sort of, they don’t want to sell less than 4 tickets at once). Water bike rental on the right, scooters on the left. In the sea, fish such as sardines roam in considerable numbers, dancing a jig with the whole joint for a piece of bread brought to them.
They say that there are even treatment facilities on the cape to the right of the beach. We went there, saw some outbuildings, polypropylene pipes of awesome diameter going to them and a rumble. Maybe these are sewage treatment plants, but they are somehow not like that. In any case, the bay of the village of Bechichi is very different in this regard from the bay of the village of Gelendzhik (I was there 3 years ago, yeah). Well, for some reason, cleaning products do not float in the sea. Or maybe they are immediately eaten by specially trained fish. And in Gelendzhik they ate all the fish themselves. Anyway.
The result of all this: there are a lot of people in the hotel. But thanks to the right organization, it is felt only in one place - on the beach. By our departure in July, in order to move into the sea, people must be pushed apart with their hands. Like in Sochi in Soviet times. Otherwise, this crowd is not so noticeable: neither in the restaurant, nor in the bar, nor simply on the territory of the queues (there was such a thing in one Greek hotel - they settled so many people that they were not allowed to enter the restaurant until someone came out). The child ate the local food. This is an indicator. The nature of Montenegro is unusually beautiful. Next time I will definitely go to the canyons (it is difficult with a 9-year-old child - after all, 200 km from the coast). The sea is clean. Fish, again, swim.

See you!
