This is the oldest hotel in Budva, built in 1937, of course, it has long been reconstructed and renovated several times. Avala is very well located - near the Old Town and Rachardava Head Beach, over which the hotel pool literally “hangs”. Also, the most famous beach of Budva Mogren is not far from here. The hotel outwardly fully complies with high standards and its respectability is visible everywhere. Naturally, you will have to pay for all this accordingly. Breakfast is provided, but if desired, there is where to have lunch and dinner - several restaurants and bars. In the immediate availability of a lot of other cafes, snacks and restaurants, expensive and not very.
The hotel has a swimming pool, swimming in which you can contemplate the beauty of the sea, stretching into the horizon. Also in Avala is the Casino, which opens its doors to lovers of this business 24 hours a day. It offers a Spa center with all the consequences, including an indoor pool. Still all sorts of shops, etc. In general, a hotel with a status.
Internet at the reception is free, in the room you will have to fork out for it separately.

ROOMS in a hotel of different levels, I had the honor to contemplate the superior, where the bedroom and living room are separate. The room has everything you need - mini-bar, satellite TV, hair dryer, air conditioning, safe, telephone, balcony, and most of the rooms have a sea view. Bathrobes and slippers are also available.
Despite the fact that the hotel is already of respectable age, the rooms, and indeed the whole complex, look quite modern. True, as for me, everything is somehow gloomy and dark there, even sensible pictures did not work out. Although, there are lovers of such designs, which means they will appreciate it.
A LITTLE BEACH OF BUDVA. I'll start with the distant Yaz, it is so called because it is located in the lovely and clean bay of Yaz (JAZ). From Budva it is easy to get there by taxi, only 5 Euro. The cost of sun loungers and umbrellas is 3 Euros per unit, but many sunbathe just like that on clean pebbles covered with a towel. The water there is of excellent transparency, the bay itself is the most beautiful, and even protected from the wind, so you are guaranteed beach pleasure. The beach is quite well equipped, sunbeds and umbrellas are different, for every taste, there are cafes and bars.
Perhaps someone will be interested that in this bay, on the left side, if you look at the sea, behind the rock is one of the nudist beaches of Montenegro. Fans of this business understand what it is about, but I want to warn those who are just curious and looking for adventure - it is better for single girls not to meddle there. The fact is that one of the girls from our company, who decided to merge with nature and get complete relaxation on an almost empty beach, had an incident there, from which she could not recover for a long time. It turns out that everything is simple - fans of the rest “what mother gave birth to”, perceive it all as the norm of life, but local guys think differently - a beautiful girl came to show herself, which means that we must also demonstrate everything. Thank God, everything ended well, but the girl suffered a lot of fear, especially considering that the beach is rather deserted. Please note that the proximity of this beach will in no way disturb the peace of the rest, most likely, the majority of vacationers will not even notice its presence.

I highly recommend going there, at least once on an excursion - this is one of the best beaches on the Budva Riviera.
Slovenska Plaž a beach. What to say? The beach is quite long, but in the season there are still people there, like herrings in a barrel - such a pleasure for an amateur. It should be noted that this beach is equipped with good infrastructure - here you will find bars, and restaurants, and cafes, and snack bars like "fast food", but of high quality, and even fishermen with the sale of their catch after 16.30 (closer to the Old Town). In some restaurants, you can order the preparation of fresh seafood - 8 Euro per kilo, no matter what kind of living creatures you buy, moreover, this is with serving and service, I think this is a good price. On this beach there is a local open-air disco called "Trocadero" (not to be confused with a nightclub with the same name). There are also “changing rooms” - peculiar, look at the photo. Toilets are all paid, sun lounger + umbrella 10 Euro - bites. Then, there are a lot of water activities - also their own nuances, so be prepared.
Richard's Glava Beach is a small beach that literally squeezes into the Old Town on one side, and the rocks leading to Mogren Beach on the other. On this beach there is a bar where you can take a beer and sit in sun loungers for free and use the toilet (but this is if you are lucky to take a suitable table). There is a pier there, but it is dilapidated or not yet repaired. The bottom is large pebbles, but large stones are regularly removed from the beach. This beach is used by vacationers from Avala. It offers a gorgeous view from the Citadel in the Old City.
Mogren Beach is perhaps the most famous of the local beaches. In fact, there are two of them - Mogren-1 and Mogren-2. A picturesque path along the cliff leads to them just from the beach of Richard's Head. There is also a bay, which consists of two parts, which designate two beaches. To the second Mogren, you will have to go through a wooden passage in the rock, and, at the initial stage, you will have to enter the water knee-deep, and maybe even higher. But this does not stop the fans of this place and there are also enough people there, perhaps a little less than on the first beach, but in the season, I mean, it will be dense there. On the beach, everything is available for a comfortable stay - bars, showers, toilets. On the second beach there is even something similar to a restaurant, but in early June it was still closed, so I can’t say for sure.

Hotel Avala is one of the few (if not the only) places in Budva itself where I can recommend to stay and relax for pretentious tourists who prefer large hotels with all amenities and pleasures. Of course, I will not undertake to say how much the price corresponds to the quality, therefore, the decision is only yours.
