The hotel is good for its location, a hundred meters to its own beach in a straight line, no descents or ascents. During our vacation there were always free sunbeds. Everything is free, including towels. Entering the sea is not very comfortable due to the “step” formed in the water from large pebbles, foot massage is provided. I think it will obviously not be very convenient for the kids, but it was not possible to check, because there were almost no kids, the kids club was empty and the animation was very poor. But European grandmothers rested with feeling and sense, on the beach in flocks, and in the evening in the bar dancing-shmantsy. This is their season, in Iberostar they watched the arrival of whole buses.
We took a standard room with a sea view. The views are all side, but very nice, to the mountains, and from the tiny balcony you can see the sea and the neighboring beach. We changed the room once because of the noise from the cleaners behind the wall from six in the morning, the exchange was tense, it took five days to agree.
The second room turned out to be better, one floor higher and closer to the sea, it was cleaned better, oddly enough. Standard rooms overlooking the other side of the hotel will not impress you, it will be the street and the main entrance. The room is very modest, and the shower cubicle is just the last century, and even very small. No one would have objected if the price corresponded to such a four, but the price is indecently high.

We did not use the pools, and few people swam there, they are very small. There is a SPA center with saunas, a Turkish steam room, a jacuzzi and an indoor pool. Here it helps a lot in inclement weather, when it rains and it's cool on the beach, and we had this for almost a week. You just need to have time to take a deck chair until the grannies settled there for a daytime sleep. And you can forget about the jacuzzi, where they massage for hours.
We only had breakfast. Large and good selection of food with cereals, sausages, fruits, etc.
Dinner, of course, is interesting to spend either in Budva: there are various cafes and restaurants along the tunnel behind Ibirostar, closer to 19 o'clock there are no free places near the water, especially those promoted by advertising. Or in the other direction along the beach in Rafailovici, do not focus on the famous "Three Fishermen", try other establishments, they are just as good.
If you do not take a car, then you cannot but like excursions to the Canyons of the Tara River, as well as the Bay of Kotor. I am not a very religious person, but Ostrog is a functioning Orthodox monastery at an altitude of 900 m above sea level. m. the place is amazingly interesting and impressive. Go to St. Stefan by bus for 1 euro, the walk is very pleasant and beautiful, since the stop is close to the hotel. There are many more beautiful places, not enough for all the time.
I liked the country, their cuisine is close to me in terms of “delicacy”. People are friendly, many know Russian, and those who do not know, they try to explain in their own way with the help of gestures, you will understand anyway.
And another would go to the hotel.
