Review of Hunguest Hotel Sun Resort
We rested at the hotel on June 15-29.2019, the tour operator "Orbita", the host - PILON, I really liked their guide Alexander.
Windrose Airlines flight Kyiv-Tivat-Kyiv was good.
1.5 hours after landing in Tivat, we were at the hotel. At the reception they asked for a room in a quiet location on the 2nd floor - and got room 1804 in a villa in the first row from the sea. You can't see the sea from the rooms of the villas of the hotel, because it is covered by tall trees. Russians are settled, as a rule, in the Mimosa building - it is above the sea, but without balconies.

If you go up from the hotel a little up to Negoshev Street with one-way traffic (the street of clanging hatches - their covers on the roadway are loose) and go towards the old city, then in 7 minutes. you can walk to a large IDEA supermarket, and after another 5 min. - to the Volja supermarket located already in the old town next to the bazaar. There are a lot of shops and cafes along this street, but the prices…
If you go along Negosheva street against traffic, then in 5 minutes. you can walk to another IDEA supermarket.
We bought Rada water in 1.5 liters. bottles for 0.49 euros. Wine in liter bottles for 1.95-2.5 euros turned out to be quite decent, especially white (although we love sweet Crimean wines). We also tried Albanian cognac (8.99 euros for 0.5 l) and local beer (2 l for 2.55 euros) - bitter, did not like it.
Along the beach there is a promenade about 15 km long. Prices in cafes on the promenade decrease in the direction of Igalo, where Tito's villa and the shallow sea with healing mud are located.
Number
Recently refurbished. We had a two-room suite (13 + 9 sq. m. ) with a balcony (it had a clothes dryer, two chairs and a table). In the 1st room: a folding sofa (160 cm), an armchair, a floor lamp, a 32-inch LCD TV, a mini-bar (filled), a small table and a wardrobe niche. In the 2nd room: double bed, two bedside tables, mirror. Each room has floor air conditioning. There is no electric kettle.
It is inconvenient that there are no doors in the dressing room. The bathroom has a shower. Hot water constantly. Soap and shampoo are not available. There are two liquid soap dispensers.
Beach towels were in the room. They are small and washed out - it is better to take your own.
The soundproofing in the room is not very good - you can hear the neighbors both to the right and left, and from below.
Villas with numbers 1701-2004 are closest to the sea. Rooms in them xxx3 and xxx4 are the second floor.
The hotel staff is friendly, unobtrusive, they do not speak Russian and understand English poorly (except for the reception). Mostly young people 18-25 years old, the restaurant has middle-aged staff.
Hotel.
The hotel area is green with flowering trees and bushes (there are birds and 2 turtles) but it is densely built up. The hotel has a three-level parking, but cars are also parked on the sports ground.

Next to the first row of villas there is a sports ground, you can do yoga or play bocha and table tennis.
There is a playground for playing chess with large pieces. The passages around the hotel are covered to protect from the sun and rain.
There is a fairly large pool with a constant depth of about 160 cm. There are always sun loungers near it, with umbrellas worse. The pool is usually full of children and noisy. From the pool to the sea about 110 m.
Beach
Length 57 m wide - sunbeds in 3 rows. Entrance to the sea from a concrete slab only by ladders. The beds and mattresses are new. There are not enough umbrellas, including because some take 2-3 umbrellas for 2 sunbeds instead of one. Due to the fact that guests take places from the very morning, and then do not come for a long time, after 9-30 there may not be free sunbeds on the beach.
At the bottom of the sea near the concrete slab are dozens of small sea urchins. But the depth is about 2.5-3 m or more - it is difficult to step on hedgehogs. There is construction debris at the bottom, algae appear closer to the buoys, where the sandy bottom is visible. There are very few fish.
Along the bottom from the concrete slab, 3 sewers with a diameter of 30-40 cm pass behind the buoys.
The water is clear near the shore, and becomes more muddy near the hotel's buoys. The circulation of water in the bay is due to the counterclockwise flow and the tide of about 50 cm.
Until June 20, the water was 18-19 degrees in the morning, 21-22 degrees in the evening. Then it warmed up by 3-4 degrees. Sometimes it brings debris from pieces of branches, algae and plastic to the shore.
Nutrition
We had HB food. Breakfast is quite ordinary. Stewed vegetables, cereals, scrambled eggs / fried eggs / boiled eggs, sausages (2 types), cheese + feta + 3 types of sausage cuts, cottage cheese + kefir, milk / oatmeal porridge, chopped vegetables + salads from them, apples, grapefruits, oranges. 4 types of juice + coffee machine. For some reason, there were often no black tea bags.

Dinner. Very varied. Always 3 types of meat (chicken, beef, pork), every other day fish and sometimes squid, stewed vegetables, several types of side dishes (rice, vermicelli, potatoes), two types of soup. Chopped vegetables + lots of salads (there was quite a decent Olivier).
From fruits: watermelon, melon, pineapples, peaches and nectarines. Drinks at dinner are paid, but tap water in a decanter and 2 glasses are brought free of charge.
For dinner there were always 8 types of delicious ice cream, desserts, cakes. The chef cooks delicious food. Upon arrival for a week, all the food at home seemed tasteless.
Guests
Until June 20-22, there were many elderly (over 75-80 years old) English and German speakers (about 70%). Then residents of the former Yugoslavia with children arrived (there were about 50% of them). Russian speakers in the hotel 15-25% (depending on arrival).
The hotel is used as a transit for groups of Chinese tourists who stay there for one night. On such days, breakfast and dinner are very crowded, but the food is constantly replenished.
Tours
Water excursion Blue Cave + about. Mamut + Janitsa beach is very beautiful. But riding an overloaded boat, from which tourists hang in clusters along the sides, is simply dangerous. We spent 5 hours on Janitsa beach - very long and tiring.
I do not recommend this tour.
Dubrovnik
You can get there on your own from the Herceg Novi bus station. A one-way ticket costs 12-15 euros. And the travel agency located opposite the bus station drove back and forth for 18 euros / person. on a minibus for 8 seats and another map of Dubrovnik in Russian was given.
In Dubrovnik, everything is very expensive - 0.5 liters of water costs 3 euros. Entrance to each of the museums or towers costs from 40 to 200 kunas (1 euro = 7 kunas). Euros are not accepted anywhere - you have to go to the exchanger. Probably the most correct decision is to buy a one-day tourist card for 250 kunas and use it to enter both the city walls and museums. The city is very dense building, no trees. A stone bag with a crowd of people.
I had to spend 6 hours in Dubrovnik - and this is a lot, even taking into account visiting the free beach. The last hour we just sat on a bench. The whole trip lasted from 8-00 to 17-30. Exhausted.

minimontenegro
The tour (25 euros/person) was bought at the branch of the mentioned tour agency on the promenade (7 min walk towards Igalo).
Nice relaxing tour.
Trebinje
We bought this tour to Bosnia and Herzegovina from the host for 25 euros / person. and did not regret. Although there was a large group of 43 people, this did not lead to delays. We visited the church on the grave of the poet I. Ducic, which offers a great view. Then the old town of Trebinje itself - it is small but pretty, and the monastery of Tvrdosh with its wine cellars and wine tasting. Then they brought us for lunch (10 euros / person) and at 17-00 we were at the hotel.
We visited on our own: 3 fortresses in Herceg Novi (entrance 2 euros / person, admission to the Spanjola fortress is free, but it is on the mountain, and it was hard to go), the local museum next to the hotel (3 euros), the villa of Marshal Tito (3 euros with tour guide).
