In short, I LOVE! I went with TUI Tour.
The bus drove all the way to Victims of Fascism Street, which I did not expect, I thought they would unload at the stop of the Alexander Hotel. And from Victims of Fascism Street, the road to the hotel goes to the right and up from the Choshak tavern, to the private sector. The ascent is in two stages, the second is a little steeper and ends up in a small supermarket, across the house from Koral (I am writing in such detail because I read reviews that the ascent is very difficult). Downstairs, at the Choshak, I was met by the receptionist, Jovana. She speaks Russian and is very attentive. She escorted me to the hotel along the way answering my questions and talking about the order in the hotel.
When we got there, she registered me and immediately returned my passport (at the Alexander Hotel, where I was in 2014, our passports were returned to us the next day). Jovana took me to the room (No. 21), showed me everything and left me to be accommodated.

The room has: air conditioning (past the double bed), a refrigerator, a safe, a balcony with a dryer and two armchairs, but without a table (it opens onto the courtyard, where, in fact, almost all balconies go), and below - blooming and fragrant bushes. TV with 6 Russian channels (First, Rossiya24, RTR-Planeta, STS, TNT and 2 more), 2 British, 2 German and 1 Italian.
There was a nuance: as it turned out, in order to close your room from the outside, you need to move the key left and right while pressing it, otherwise it would not enter the lock. The inside closed without problems. I am unpretentious, I just asked Jovanna how to properly close the room. But after a couple of days, it suddenly turned out that the key went into the lock like clockwork - apparently, she herself called the master and they changed or repaired the lock.
Internet in the hotel just flies! WiFi is free and works throughout the hotel, starting from the gate, if you have entered the password for your room (all important phone numbers and the password in the room are under the phone).
Entrance and exit to the territory of the hotel by means of a button. From the inside, of course, you yourself open the gate. Outside, press the bell and wait (a few seconds). Additional security, although the city itself is very calm.
Breakfast is included in the room rate. Since I arrived at the very beginning of the season, there was not much food. And why, if as of June 3, besides me, there was one couple and another single girl in the hotel? As guests arrived, the amount of food increased. Every day there was a variety of egg dishes (fried eggs and various omelettes with cheeses and ham, including fried egg rolls), 1-2 salads and cut vegetables, cut cheese and meat products, oatmeal, yogurt, puff pastries with cheeses. For sweet pastries (donuts with filling, sweets from crushed nuts and dried fruits). I liked the bread fried in milk with cherry sauce - moderately sweet. Drink - flower tea bags, coffee, juice, cold and hot milk. In general, I am not a model, I taught myself to eat in the morning and I had enough of a hearty breakfast at the hotel so as not to feel hungry until 12-13 days. Breakfast is served at the hotel from 8 am to 11 am.

The sea is exactly the same as I remember it - the purest water, warm already at 6-30 in the morning (!!! ) In August 2014, I remember, the first entry into the water was under my squeal, because the water was cold, and now... However , judging by the words of local residents, year after year is not necessary.
I either spent lunch and dinner in restaurants in the city, or bought something to eat in a bakery (a bakery, a puff bun with sausage 0.6 euros, a small pizza - 2 euros, a puff bun with cheese or cheese and ham for 0.8 euros) or a supermarket for way to the hotel and ate in the room. Depending on how you go to the hotel, you will have 2-3 supermarkets along the way (Aroma, Mega and little Nick a few meters from the hotel). When I ate in restaurants in the city, the maximum amount I left, including tips, was 24 euros. Don't be scared, I just wanted to try the steaks and seafood. You can eat well for 10 euros and, for example, eat just soup for 2.5 euros and a sandwich (which includes 2 pieces on very tasty bread baked in the oven) for 3.5-4 euros - this is in restaurants in the city center or near seas. There are also shops with fast food, which is very tasty here : ) In the famous "Shkolier" sandwiches cost 2.5-3 euros, but I never got to try them. To be honest, I didn't want to stand in line. What I want to say - do not be afraid of the prices I have given, you can find food for any budget, but the quality and taste of the food will be at the level : )
I wandered a lot around the city itself, 2-3 walks lasting 1-4 hours every day. Every time you notice a new detail, you see new people, you watch them. In the first couple of days, concerts and festivals were held in the city, including those dedicated to the opening of the tourist season, that is, you and I can say : ) I almost got to the concert of the Balkan star Vlad Gordievich (it seems), but I didn’t wait for him, because I was tired after walking. But I enjoyed the performance of a rock band before his performance. It was very cool! In general, I was not bored.
Of the excursions, I visited only the Montenegro tour, because I was on 5 excursions in 2014. The excursion to Lake Piva is not carried out, and regarding the trip to Croatia, the guide was not sure that they would let me in without a visa, although I reminded her of visa-free travel for Ukrainian citizens. I decided not to risk my money and my peace of mind. Well : ) True, I probably should have gone on some kind of excursion again, for a change : )

In general, I really liked the trip and confirmed my first impression of the trip in 2014 - I love this country and its good-natured, sympathetic people.
Compared to 2014, I see improvements in roads in the city and in the mountains, new buildings, etc.
The country is still very green, very clean. The air is sweet from flowering bushes and trees and mixes with the sea breeze and the healing notes of coniferous trees that grow here next to palm trees. Birds sing from morning until midnight (nightingales and thrushes, I found out).
In general, I recommend the country to visit for everyone who is looking for a break from the city noise and who suffers from immersion in meditative tranquility in nature.
