Обычный отель с удачной локацией Ordinary hotel with good location

A long-looked-for version of a hotel with a good location (a wonderful embankment, proximity to Kotor and Dubrovnik), a large green area (by the standards of Montenegro), but with a lot of features.
The holiday began with an unsuccessful settlement. Despite the fact that the room in the bungalow was booked almost six months in advance with various notes and wishes, we got the 2nd floor with a view of TA-DA-M!!! ! from the room to the concrete wall, from the balcony to its entire width - a dense bush of lush vegetation. At the request to change, a standard excuse was received from the stern young ladies from the reception - we are completely booked, live where they gave. Although it is always clearly visible where the rooms are occupied and where not even with the naked eye, the personalities are impenetrable. Yes, they showed a couple of similar bungalows with a view to nowhere, rooms in Novlyanka (which had not seen repairs). After 2 hours of complaints, when a small child had almost slept for a day on the road, a pleasant girl delegate from an unpleasant company knocked on the room, during negotiations with which the go-ahead was received to move to the next room overlooking the sports ground plus the sea-mountains in the distance . The next day, an impressive group of guests from Asia drove into the hotel, who became our bungalow neighbors for several days. And it immediately became clear which of the guests in the hotel was a priority and for whom they kept the room that we ended up with. And then the Hungarians arrived, forced half of the sports ground (specially divided in half by a high partition) with their cars and parking was added to the view from the balcony.
Now to the point. Number. According to the description, everything corresponds. In ours, the latch on the front door did not work, the old shower stall with broken shutters - for 7 nights no one even looked to look at the malfunctions, although he personally asked twice at the reception. And I was also surprised by the wall mount for the shower - that way at chest level - a maximum of 1.4-1.5 m in height from the floor, is it designed for the Chinese?... ? Cleaning for the entire vacation - fully once, on other days they took away dirty towels once, then only the next day they brought clean ones, 2 times the garbage was taken out. It is convenient that there is a dryer on the balcony (and indeed the balcony itself with a table and chairs, compared to the hotel buildings), there is a corner - an open dressing room instead of a closet, a mini-bar. The very same few furniture is specifically old. And if you have a small TV hanging in the sleeping area of ​ ​ the room, then the big one is not supposed to be in the living room and vice versa, it was never turned on; ). Bathrobes and beach towels are already waiting for guests in the room, but slippers are not put in any way...

Nutrition. The chefs are trying. The kitchen is ok. Every day, updating side dishes, 2-3 meat dishes (fish, poultry, pork-beef), for a week there were mussels, squid rings, shrimp (with pasta, of course). Ordinary sausage cheese daily, delicious cheese and prosciutto once a week for dinner. There is absolutely nothing special in breakfasts (a little milk, sausages - omelettes), everything is standard, except for queues for a small amount of croissants, there was never enough for everyone. In the evening watermelon, melons, grapes were daily; peaches, apples, bananas exhibited periodically. Unpleasantly surprised that the waiters are NOT tense, absolutely. And even when you take drinks and leave them on top - exactly zero plus zero reaction, especially when compared with the service in street establishments on the embankment. The interior of the inner hall is pleasant, the small terrace at sunset and dawn is generally magical, especially closer to the corner opposite the large palm tree overlooking the other side of the bay in the Njivice area, but the large section in the open air is at the level of catering of collective farm years, although it is around in blooming greenery. I'm talking about a la carte. . .
Beach. The platform with free sunbeds is definitely a plus for those who want to relax there. It is much more pleasant to go through the tunnel and swim on several pebble beaches aside in the company of local residents. The pool, especially for children, is the main attribute of the hotel. Cozy, under the greenery, it's just nice even for an adult to wander after a child.
The territory is vast, but all filled with buildings and bungalows, a lot of greenery, flowers, everything is well-groomed, especially a bush opposite the balcony of our first room. But there are dozens more of the same numbers.
Playground. There is... for show in the catalog. A plastic slide with holes - not just get hurt, but you can kill yourself. The swing is in the same condition. For older children, an outlet is a sports ground: football, basketball, even played badminton)) obviously brought with you.
In two words, the hotel is tired, it wants to retire, improve its health and relax in the middle of a beautiful picturesque area, and everyone is extending its retirement age and making it accept and serve vacationers. Compared to private villas, yes, there are signs of hotel hospitality, but the overall impression is mixed. For some reason, there was a feeling that the problem is more in management and its unwillingness to bring everything to mind, and perhaps the desire of the Hungarian chain itself to get rid of this hotel in favor of larger hotel chains, which will immediately affect its price tag.
I will definitely go to Montenegro again, I hope, more than once, as well as to the beautiful Herceg Novi itself, but not to this hotel, 1 time was enough in full.
