In June 2013, my wife and I decided to go to Montenegro on a last minute trip, Velika Plaza turned out to be the last inexpensive option. We decided to take it, then regretted it when we looked at the reviews about it.
This hotel has rooms in a large building and 2 types of bungalows:
1) Civilian, with air conditioning, TV, double-glazed windows, etc.
2) Without air conditioning, TV, with ordinary windows, cardboard walls, cobwebs and spiders, with 3 single beds (houses in pioneer camps were even better).
When booking, we were promised that there would be air conditioning and a normal bungalow, but in fact they settled in the 2nd type.
As the guide later told us, ALL Russians are accommodated there, everyone complains to him later, but he can’t do anything about it, because. he is, in fact, only a consultant. Someone moves to other rooms for an additional fee, someone leaves.
Good thing you brought mosquito repellant with you. The man who came with us on the same day was bitten all over after the night.
Therefore, check and specify ten times what number they will give you, ask that the conditions be written into the contracts (air conditioning, etc. ) or at least they will be confirmed to you by e-mail.
We had 2 meals a day, in the dining room on the 2nd floor of the administrative building. You can, but also a pioneer camp.
There is a cafe downstairs, where you can already order something more decent, but already for your own money.
My wife and I immediately decided that we would leave from there, but first I called the tour operator (Biblio-Globus), they said that they could not help, because it was Sunday. They recommended to collect the documents, and then apply to them in Moscow, but this is all without guarantees. Then I called the girl at the travel agency, who arranged everything. She said that they would reimburse the cost of staying at another hotel (with receipts, of course). They really refunded everything.
If you decide to do this, then collect in this hotel all the checks, pieces of paper that you left from there. We were stamped and signed without any problems.
And we left for Budva. And in the end they were very happy about it!
If you still decide to go here, look at all the reviews and check all the information before buying a tour!

I was resting alone, went to treat my nose and throat with sea water.

I was resting alone, went to treat my nose and throat with sea water. Stopped at 3rd floor. building, the room is good, large, the furniture is not new, but solid (for 2 stars it’s very normal), a large balcony and a bathroom (for some reason there is only 1 towel holder in it), air conditioning, refrigerator. Towels are changed every day. There are very few vacationers, there were 20 of us leaving. Delicious food - breakfast, dinner. (you can order lunch for 4 euros). The sea is nearby, shallow clean, soft sand (contains iodine), dug in and lay-beauty (the air is a miracle, along the edge of the pine beach). There are very few people (great), sunbeds 3 eur. It is far from the center of Ulcinj (taxi 7 euros), you can walk to the suburbs along the beach for 20 minutes. We caught a ride, or called a taxi. In Ulcinj, there is a beautiful old town, a magnificent women's beach - I got treated - I liked it very much (they say you can go there from the great beach up the mountain through the Albatross, but I have not tried it). In restaurants, prices are lower than in Moscow, delicious. Excursions are interesting. There is no entertainment at all in the hotel and nearby, you have to go to the city. (But silence... ) I'm happy.

I want to tell you about how we and dozens of other tourists from Russia were unlucky with the S7tour tour operator and the Velika Plaza2** hotel. Unfortunately, the impression of the country and its inhabitants was significantly spoiled by these legal entities.
The tour operator deliberately keeps silent about the present conditions of stay at the hotel, and the hotel administration covers up these violations.
I'll start in order.
We are going to Montenegro with our seven-year-old son. A trip to Montenegro is my dream, which I cherished and cherished all year. I've been saving money all year. And I was sure in advance that the country would leave the most wonderful impressions.
I go to a travel agency to book a tour. I set the conditions of stay: 2 weeks, preferably not very expensive, but always with air conditioning and a kitchen. The boy is capricious in food, and in general, I do not really trust the public kitchen. The travel agency manager offers the cheapest option - a bungalow at the Velika Plaza2 ** hotel, the cost is 57 thousand rubles for two, half board (I must say, for Turkey and Egypt, this is the cost of very decent hotels in the high season, far from two-star hotels). I check the availability of all the conditions, I get confirmation: there is a kitchen, air conditioning, a shower and even a TV. The kitchen includes dishes, and there is a shop on site that will provide me with everything I need. The hotel has its own beach and medical center. Photos of the room in which we were to live were provided. I am delighted! Hooray! My dream is coming true! With an open mind and a wonderful mood, we set off on a journey.
We arrived at the hotel (by the way, there was no Russian-speaking guide who was supposed to accompany us to the hotel and help us get settled). They gave me a bungalow. We go... Shock! Where are those beautiful rooms that they showed us? Where is the kitchen? Where is the air conditioner???? ? Before our eyes appeared a room that looked like a crypt, with dirty painted walls. There are no shades on the light bulbs, pipes were cut in place of the kitchen, the furniture was shabby and half-broken, the shower did not work. And what kind of TV are we talking about! I go to the Reception - they hardly speak Russian, there is no guide. Somehow I explain that they made a mistake and provided the wrong number, I paid for something completely different. To which they answer me: “In the “bungalow” voucher, we provided the “bungalow”. I'm trying to prove that a bungalow is a bungalow, but with different conditions. I get the answer: “If you want other conditions, pay extra, but there are no rooms with a kitchen at the moment, you have to wait. ” There is nothing to do, we will wait for the release of the room, and at the same time for the guide, who will not know when. I contact the travel agency, report a nuisance, receive confirmation that I was settled in the wrong place, and in the near future I will be relocated. Half an evening trying to get me a boiler in the shower. After assurances at 10 pm that “5 minutes and everything will be fine”, I get hot water only at 3 am. This is our first day of impressions - the mood is spoiled.
Second day.
There is no guide. There is no information from the travel agency. I begin to explore the territory and get acquainted with its inhabitants. It turned out that all the Russians who ordered the "bungalow" were in this position. This is not only St. Petersburg, but our entire Motherland, with its endless expanses. People from Moscow, Yaroslavl, Magadan, Amur, Crimea and many other regions got into this situation. All customers of "S7Tour" - there is a massive fraud.
We use half board. The kitchen leaves much to be desired. To choose from: an omelette with ham, an omelet with cheese, several types of scrambled eggs, sausages - the "variety" is obvious. Of all the above, my son only eats sausages. This morning menu accompanied us all two weeks. For dinner, almost always fried and very salty, I'm not used to this. Local tea is exotic, which we did not like. There was also white coffee, something vaguely reminiscent of cocoa, also a decent brew. I conclude: you need your own kitchen. Otherwise, my son will be grazing or hungry. I look into the bungalow with the kitchen (for which I was offered to pay extra). The kitchen is not equipped with anything, except for two electric burners and a tiny, barely freezing refrigerator. Dishes are missing, apparently you will also need to pay for it. I'm going to the store. There are no products from which it is supposed to prepare a full meal. We need another store. It was found only a kilometer from the hotel. Not a short path, given that the road runs along the highway, along which a rather large flow of cars rushes. And there is almost no roadside to walk on. This means that the option with the kitchen is no longer available, we will get used to what we have.
Day three.
Hooray! The guide has arrived! I run to him, in the hope of solving the problem. I meet a sweet smile, a very conditional knowledge of the Russian language and complete indifference to my conditions of stay. Hope not resettlement melted away. Let's be happy with what we have. In fairness, it must be said that the sea is wonderful (although the beach does not belong to the hotel). The sand is extraordinary. At least you can enjoy it. Speaking of excursions, the choice is not rich. The guide we went with is a very pleasant, sweet woman, ready to serve you, but at the same time she does not know Russian very well and tells practically nothing. I had to ask her all the time: “Khana, what is this? And who is this monument to? ”. . . And so on. So the information from excursions is minimal. But the amazing scenery makes up for it. This is how our days passed.
The day of departure brought m-a-a-a-a-ssu impressions. Let's go hand over the keys. Very politely, with a smile on my lips, I explain at the Reception that I need written information about the room in which I lived. What I get: first, a polite bewilderment “what is it about? ”, Then various attempts to confuse me and refuse a simple request, and, finally, an explosion of emotions, irritation and indignation. I tried to record this information for about 15 minutes, persistently, very politely, but with a parry of all the excuses that were. During the conversation, I discovered that the employees instantly forgot the Russian language (although we communicated with them for 2 weeks, including in Russian). It turned out that the employees did not know each other's names (which made me laugh a lot), and I did not understand who the director of this hotel was. One of the administrators (the one who allowed himself rudeness with pushing away, waving his arms and pointing me to the door), despite my request, did not give his name, now he received the nickname "skinhead gentleman, with an unstable psyche. " On my insistence on finding out the name of the skinhead, I received a threat to call the police. Here is the hospitality, the desire to see their customers again!!! ! Despite all this, I still managed to get an entry on the absentee ballot that our bungalow contained neither a kitchen nor an air conditioner. Later, it turned out that this was just a miracle, since not one of the Russians achieved this record. But what did it cost me! This ticket was almost thrown in my face. After talking with the hotel management, I was shaking all over.
So, it became clear that the desire to return to this beautiful country again, with generally good people, was completely repulsed from me. Now I'm in litigation. Vacation ruined.

I agree 99 percent with Ldmila M. Indeed, Russians are first settled in the most terrible "bungalow with a kitchen", where from the kitchen there is only a stove and a small refrigerator. Dishes do not smell. You have to pay extra for relocation (maybe they have a divorce method? ). We lived in a hotel, where the conditions are still better, but not ideal.

As for the place itself, it's not for everyone. Young people are more likely to be bored. There are 2-3 discos on the beach, but the music there is very loud and not the fact that everyone will like it. Families with children are probably just right - and there is where to run, and the beach is suitable - sand and shallow. (By the way, for adults - the beach is really shallow. ) Well, pensioners are also just right, peace and quiet.
In short, if you choose a vacation in the south of Montenegro, you should think about what you will do there. By and large, there is nothing to do. If you want "life" and parties, then it is better to choose Petrovac or Budva. And if you want silence, then it will be very good in the south.

About the hotel.
The hotel itself has on the territory beautiful houses-apartments with and without a kitchen, a three-story hotel building and of course a bungalow. For various reasons, but almost all tourists from Russia were originally settled in bungalows.
Yes, Montenegro is not famous for excellent service, yes, a 2-star hotel, but what we saw when we drove into our bungalow was simply shocking. Three old beds with shelves, a broken chair on wheels, two built-in wardrobes made of delaminated chipboard, one of which is open and that's it! Of the four outlets, one worked, the lampshades on light bulbs only in the bathroom and on the street in front of the entrance. In the bathroom: rusty shower tray, old boiler, sink, toilet. Not without pets: spiders, ants, mosquitoes. To say that we were disappointed is an understatement, but we decided to wait a week. Those who came for more than 10 days moved to the hotel building, where the conditions are already quite decent. (Paid on top of 10 euros at the reception, and 120 euros officially for two people for two weeks). Those wishing to move into apartments were offered to pay 60 euros for each day of stay. By the way, when buying tickets in travel agencies, they show photos of the apartments, saying that this is the bungalow.
The territory of the hotel is really immersed in greenery: trimmed lawns, exotic flowers, pines, oaks, apricots, pears, palms, olives and everything goes together perfectly. Silence, fresh air, 5-7 minutes walk to the sea. The hotel is set back from the road and for those who care about a relaxing holiday (especially at night) you can consider this option (BUT NOT IN A BUNGALOW! ). It will also be comfortable for people with small children: there is a place to run around without fear of cars and strangers, fine, warm sand on the beach, entry into the sea is very smooth and near the coast it warms up like fresh milk. By the way, for the same reason, there is no pier on this part of the great beach, and therefore ships, boats, etc. , the sea is not polluted with oil and fuel oil.
Meals - half board: breakfast to choose from 8 dishes, dinner - soup, salad, dessert, hot to choose from two dishes. The food is delicious, the portions are large. On the territory there is a shop where you can buy the essentials, sometimes you could buy fresh vegetables and fruits from the hotel.
Suitable in my opinion:
- those who are tired of noise, people, fuss;
- self-sufficient people who are not bored without discos, animators, etc. ;
- companies that have fun together;
- vacationers with small children.
About Ulcinj.
You can get to the city by taxi - 10 euros (call at the reception), by catching a taxi on the road you can negotiate for 4-5 euros (better if on the meter), at about 9 in the morning you could catch the Ulcinj-Ada-Bojana minibus on the road - it went out on 1.5 euros per person, but you can walk for about an hour along the road - the most budget option.
The city itself is small, with narrow streets and many boutiques. We went to the city on Tuesday and Friday - we wanted to catch the oriental bazaar, but apart from 10 tents with ordinary Turkish things and 2 with souvenirs, we didn’t see anything. The old town is interesting, the view of the sea was especially impressive. City beach is small and very crowded! I would not want to rest in Ulcinj itself. There are really a lot of Albanians in the city, and mostly men who sit in cafes and bars. As we learned later, women mostly stay at home with their children.
With regards to garbage, there is really a lot of it in Montenegro. The central streets and the most visited tourist places, of course, are being cleaned, but the rest....On one of the excursions, we were told that there are many national parks in the country where the natural process cannot be disturbed. It is impossible, for example, to remove a fallen tree, and so they apparently treat garbage there as a national park!
About excursions.
The meeting party was the TALAS-M company, a Mercedes Vito was waiting for us at the airport, we were taken quickly and comfortably. Our guide's name was Sanya, a very pleasant and cheerful girl. We were immediately offered all possible excursions. We chose two excursions - the Ostrog Monastery and the mini Montenegro tour, since we rested for only 7 days, but we also wanted to swim in the sea. The disadvantage of rest in this part of the country is that it is far from all the sights and any excursion takes a whole day, you spend half the time on the road. On the other hand, until you reach your final destination, you will see half the country - it's like another sightseeing tour. The advantage is that there are not many vacationers in this direction, and both times a group of a maximum of 10 people was recruited.
We went on our own to the village of fish restaurants on the Boyana River. Amazing place. I really liked the Pegasus restaurant, the waiter speaks and understands Russian.
In the vicinity of Ulcinj there is a very unusual women's beach with a hydrogen sulfide source, surrounded on all sides by rocks and trees. It is better to get to it by taxi. Entrance 1.5 euros, clay mask (for the whole body) 2 euros. Entrance is paid once and you can come and go several times during the day.
When it was time to leave, they sent us a minibus (for 5 people) with a separate trailer for luggage.

We went on our own to the village of fish restaurants on the Boyana River. Amazing place. I really liked the Pegasus restaurant, the waiter speaks and understands Russian.
In the vicinity of Ulcinj there is a very unusual women's beach with a hydrogen sulfide source, surrounded on all sides by rocks and trees. It is better to get to it by taxi. Entrance 1.5 euros, clay mask (for the whole body) 2 euros. Entrance is paid once and you can come and go several times during the day.
When it was time to leave, they sent us a minibus (for 5 people) with a separate trailer for luggage.

We rested at the Velika Plaza hotel. Food is terrible. Breakfast and dinner are à la carte only. Breakfast is either scrambled eggs or 3 sausages. First settled in a bungalow is a nightmare (dampness, spiders, dirty stove, shower tray with rust). For 110 euros moved to a hotel (a little better). On the beach, they sunbathed for free for 4 days, and then it suddenly became paid, then, for mythical reasons, it was free for 3 days, and then it became paid again.

We traveled all over Montenegro - nothing special!! ! On a note, they deceive there almost everywhere, be vigilant!

We chose the Velika Plaza hotel because it is located on the famous beach with basalt sand. So the beach is unique, but the hotel... The territory is good, the food is good, breakfast, dinner - not a buffet, but a menu, a table is assigned to each tourist. We lived in a Bungalow, and these are not those cute houses that are in the pictures (pink ones), These are terrible kennels, with a mini-kitchen, no TV, with spiders due to dampness.

So be careful if you go to this hotel, do not choose a bungalow, take an apartment (these are just those houses) or check into a storey building. everything else is perfectly acceptable.
