I was in Montenegro for the first time and I had a terrible impression about this people. The beach worker yelled at the whole beach "Go home" - this is the norm for 4 stars. hotel? I absolutely do not recommend this hotel!
The furniture and plumbing in the rooms of the main building are new and modern. There is a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, hairdryer, safe, minibar. The bathroom has an extensive set of cosmetics - shampoos, creams, shower gels, there are disposable slippers. Internet (Wi-Fi) is free, but works only in the reception area. The hotel "Tara" has its own area on the beach. Hotel guests are entitled to two free sunbeds and an umbrella per room (regardless of the number of people living in it), beach towels for an extra charge - 50 cents / piece.
The rooms and interior of the hotel are decorated in bright colors and a little "naughty" design - funny pictures and interesting wire installations are everywhere. In October, "Tara" was full of elderly Frenchmen, spending a rainy evening recklessly "hammering a goat" in the hotel lobby: ). In general, "Tara" made a favorable impression. No glaring "shortcomings" were found at a cursory glance.
I wish you all a pleasant holiday!
*****
Photos and impressions about the hotel were brought from the promotional info-tour in Montenegro in October 2013.
Sports - football, big and table tennis, beach volleyball, billiards, mini-golf, bowling. There is a kids club.
This hotel has excellent food, and there is a children's menu and you can even order a diet table. Meals here are possible on half board and on All (light, i. e. drinks, including wine and beer, only with meals). Moreover, those who relax on the "all inclusive" have sunbeds and umbrellas for free on the beach and by the pool, for the rest this pleasure is paid.
The rooms are good, with new furniture, there are also three-bed rooms, and two-room families with a living room. There is a TV, telephone, air conditioning, safe, balcony. The bathroom has a shower, hair dryer, soap accessories. The family has two bathrooms - one with a shower, the other with a bathtub.
Slippers and bathrobes are provided upon request. There are rooms with sea views.
This hotel includes Magnolia Villas - pretty decent villas, they are not much further from the beach (across the road), but they are cheaper. Guests staying in the villas enjoy the same benefits as those living in the main building. For some reason, I liked the villas even more - they are more comfortable and more secluded. The rooms are pretty decent too.
Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday.
You can go to Budva (10-15 minutes) through the tunnel. Very beautiful old town. By taxi 4 euros.
Be sure to go on foot to Sveti Stefan through Rafailovichi-Kamenovo. Very beautiful scenery. Back-by taxi-8 euros.
We also went to the Bay of Kotor, with a tour of Kotor and Perast-super. In the Tez-tour, the tour costs 28 euros. on the beach - 20 euros and a boat trip with swimming.
In local cafes, grilled fish + french fries + salads - from 4.5 euros a portion. Soups from 0.8 euros to 2 euros.
Have a great rest!! !
Departure from Kharkov at 7:35, at the beginning of the eleventh local time (1 hour difference) were at the hotel, settled us at 12:30 instead of 14:00. Room on the 2nd floor facing east with pool and mountain views. Go to the sea 150 m along the palm alley, which did not bother at all. The beach is wide, coarse sand, entry into the sea - a strip of small pebbles and sand. Water is a song! Here are three pleasant surprises:
- sun loungers and umbrellas free of charge for vacationers with meals HB and All (we had HB). For a towel since last year began to take 50 cents;
- at dinner, non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks (red and white wine, quite good, free of charge);
- In-room safe free of charge.
This spring the hotel was renovated and the furniture was replaced. The beach has new sunbeds and umbrellas.
The room was cleaned and towels changed daily, linen was changed every three days. The air conditioner worked great. Leaving for the beach, they left it on a small mode and the maids did not turn it off.
The food did not cause any complaints about the quality or the assortment. An abundance of fruits both at breakfast and at dinner: peaches, nectarines, kiwi, pineapples, grapes, oranges, apples, melons, watermelons, apricots, plums.
Composition of vacationers: Russian-speaking about 25-30%, the rest are residents of the former Yugoslavia. The age composition is pensioners (including us) and young couples with children from babies. And in the hotel, and walking along the embankments of Becici and Budva, they did not hear Western European speech.
What some travelers may not like:
- The territory of the hotel is small;
- Animation for both children and adults, one might say, is missing. Two girls entertaining themselves near the bar don't count. There is not even a stage or platform for animation. There is no playground and no one cares for children.
Upon arrival, the water temperature was invigorating, and somewhere from the second of July it warmed up sharply and became 25 degrees, and the air temperature was over 30.
Excursions. We went to the canyons, I advise everyone. Drive through Montenegro from south to north, enjoy nature and air. We visited Dubrovnik (Croatia) with a tour. This tour was not taken from a tour operator, which we later regretted. The difference in price in the end turned out to be small, but it was carried out carelessly.
Once again, I note that the rest was a success. But this does not happen, that everything is very good. The flight was delayed by 2.5 hours. This is not so much, but the air conditioning and ventilation system has not been working at the Tivat airport for more than a month, and waiting for the plane for 4 hours in a stuffy hall at an air temperature well over 30 is another test.
I give the hotel a 5.
