Отель порадовал The hotel pleased

The hotel was offered to us in the evening with a flight for tomorrow. I looked at the rating, there was no time to read the reviews. And I wasn't wrong!! ! We did not give money at the reception when we checked in. We were immediately given the keys - they showed us on the diagram of the location of the room (just above the reception) - I snorted, they say, far from the beach, asked for the building to be closer - I heard: "know, know" and with a sense of accomplishment, we trudged to the villa with number 903. Having understood that the room is on the second floor, sighed heavily and entered. The room turned out to be a two-room! , with a balcony! , into which a huge flowering bush looked! and a view of the sea! with table, chairs and clothes dryer!!! ! Everything in the room was simple, but cozy. There was even an undeclared hair dryer and snow-white bathrobes. The condos (they were in place for the batteries) worked in such a way that the tulle flew. I went to the reception to ask how the miracle of technology (I have not seen such condos yet) regulate. They immediately sent a boy with me, who showed the adjustment. I liked the condei very much because they blew not on the forehead, but on the window, which was absolutely comfortable. We never heard the neighbors (but they were from all sides) and at night there was silence.
Cleaning: They cleaned every day, the bed was changed every other day, because our towels were scattered throughout the room, as a result, instead of the 3 towels we were supposed to have, we had at least 6 in the room. I’m not a snob and I didn’t look into the cracks on purpose, and I didn’t poke my finger into the nooks and crannies to search for dust, so I liked the quality of the cleaning. But upon departure, pencils from previous tenants were found under the bed.
Service: We didn't have any problems. Did, the shower gel ended twice in the process of taking a shower. Twice they sent the child to the reception for the gel, twice after 15 minutes they brought it. What I didn't like was the waiters. They bring only paid drinks, dirty dishes were removed extremely slowly. With small tables and huge plates, it was very disturbing. When they started eating on the balcony, they put dirty dishes on the parapet of the balcony and the problem was solved for us.

Meals: Yes, there is no such variety as in Turkey-Egypt. But everything was delicious. Breakfast is standard, but with a large selection of sausages and cheese, which is not standard. Cheese was very good! In the nearest inexpensive supermarket, Roda wanted to buy cheese at home, seeing the average prices at the level of 6-7 euros. But it turned out that the cheese with huge holes you liked at the hotel cost 9.5 euros, blue cheese -13 euros, smoked cheese - 15.35 euros. And once again we were convinced that the hotel did not save on food. Our lunches were not included. Dinners were excellent. Even the kid ate fish every day (which he thought sucked all his life). Meat was always at least two kinds. There was enough ice cream for everyone, there were at least 4 types of it, every dinner. What I didn't like was paid drinks for dinner, even water! In recent days, we brought a bottle of water with us, bought in Roda (1.5 liters cost 0.4-0.6 euros, 5l-1.3 euros) put on the table, we never made any comments. What I liked was that everyone took sandwiches and fruits from the restaurant with them (especially at breakfast), but no one made any comments. There was always enough fruit too: watermelons, melons, plums, apples (golden), peaches, nectarines, sometimes figs, all of excellent quality.
Beach: concrete area with free sunbeds and umbrellas. Sun beds without mattresses, but they could be brought from the pool area. Concrete, unlike pebbles, did not heat up and the feet were always clean, unlike sandy beaches. Sunset into the sea or from the stairs (as in the pool), or immediately dive. Which is extremely NOT convenient for people who cannot swim. But we liked it. The sea is clean and transparent. At 35C air, the sea was 25-26C (cool)))). When it got dark, the beach was closed (stretched out a chain with a sign). At night, we lay on the beach on sun loungers - a security guard came up, we explained that we live in a san resort - the security guard disappeared.
Swimming pool: One large one with bleach (depth 1.5m), next to two paddling pools, for little ones. The large pool had one edge with an overflow. At night, with the backlight, it looked especially beautiful, it was not possible to swim.
We really liked the hotel, as well as Duke Novi himself. But to be completely honest, the Belarusians (with whom we became friends at the hotel) did not like the hotel. They lived in the mimosa building. The noise from the discos from the embankment prevented them from sleeping. They didn’t have drying and, despite their numerous requests, it didn’t appear until the end of the holiday. Their bed was changed once in all the time, however, they made the beds themselves (their upbringing did not allow leaving the bed unmade). But their room was large with leather furniture, which can not be said about our room))))
Excursions: We went to Zhanitsa and the blue cave (5+3 euros per person). Boats sail to the beach and offer to visit. Zhanitsa is a fully commercialized pebble beach with stones at the entrance to the entrance with paid sunbeds, umbrellas, but with blue water. There is clearly nothing to do there all day long. Blue Cave - impressed, liked it. If you don’t sit on Zhanitsa all day, then you can go to the blue cave.

I really liked the excursions around the Bokoto Bay and the Montenegro tour. Excursions were taken from the tour. Lena, the guide, is a great clever girl, she brings everything very interestingly, her mouth does not close, and it is appropriate.
We also went to the lake, mediocre, you can visit 1 time, you won’t want to visit the 2nd.
We went to Dubrovnik-horror. We arrived in the afternoon at 41C, the tour of the city took 30 minutes, there were a lot of people, you couldn’t push through and everyone was taken at a run to the spicy lukrum for a swim. The island is ordinary, rocky, peacocks walk. Did not impress. We returned to Dubrovnik, almost everything was already closed, yes, and only on the way home, we remembered most of the places where the guide advised to go.
Conclusion, it is possible to overpay for a tour with a tour only when Lena is traveling with a group, otherwise you can take a tour at a street travel agency.
Have a nice holiday!
