Hello. I will try to tell you about my vacation in Montenegro and about the villa of Vlado Bozhevich. Who does not master the text - read the last paragraph.
We bought a tour in Joinup and wanted a room with a normal renovation, an adequate location from the sea and Wi-Fi (needed for work). There was also a requirement not the first and not the last floor. The choice fell on Vlado Bozhevich. We traveled from August 20-27.
We took off from Kharkov almost on time, on the plane we were given a good sandwich and tea / water to choose from. Upon arrival in Tivat, at the exit from the airport, it is impossible not to notice the girls meeting the joinup (stood with a sign and called). We were put on a rather comfortable bus and taken to Budva. In Budva, we were dropped off at one of the stops along with a representative of Pilon (Galina, who was in charge of Vlado Bozhevich and Villa Lux) and after a couple of minutes we were met by a rather comfortable minibus. Then they brought us right under the threshold and the maid met us. She showed where the number was and when we entered and began to examine the number, she disappeared safely. We ordered a suite (A class) with a balcony and a suitable bed. The photos of the room corresponded to those on the site (in fact, they were). I got room 4 with a hefty king-size bed, TV, wardrobe, well-renovated bathroom, balcony with a safe (a separate story about it), a dressing table and a couple of small but cozy armchairs. Also in the room of electronics was a mini-fridge, iron and microtea.

And here the first nuances began:
- Floors. They strongly requested not the last and especially not the first. Settled in the first....Buying a tour, you will not know where you will be settled.
- Safe. The safe was just locked. They didn't leave a code or a key. Several days I tried to get a key through a representative (I tried to go up to look for a room where the maid was sitting - but it didn’t turn out to be like that: the garage was downstairs, and the rooms were upstairs. ) Only on the third day the maid burst into our room without warning and immediately wanted to leave in the cold! I asked to linger and give either the code to the safe or the key. Poklatsat it a little, we listened to the alarm for 3-4 minutes. Then she asked if she could bear it or not until the evening (he said yes) and left. Naturally, no one came and left nothing. A day later, upon arrival from the tour, a simple open safe was discovered: there was no key, no code was left. They didn’t even think of writing on paper... I realized that the idea was useless. Although by and large it is not needed - the money was left in a shukhlyadka. Passports, money and phones were taken to the beach. Everything is in place. Passports, by the way, everyone must have with them. It doesn’t matter if you are on the beach or walking around the city in the evening. They can accept and ride in a cage on wheels; ) I witnessed when some Arabs were loaded like that.
- sheets. Upon arrival, crumpled towels and crumpled bedding were waiting for us on the bed (although it turned out to be washed). To my surprise, it turned out that instead of one double sheet, we were given TWO ONE-and-a-half sheets. On the first day we laid and went to explore the city. In the evening, it was written to our contact Galina that, as it were, there was such a moment, to which she, without hesitation, said that if there is a bedspread in the closet, and that in Montenegro it is customary to sleep instead of a sheet on the bedspread, that it is so accepted there (just total nonsense) and here the concepts are slightly different. After this, I got wildly burned, but restraining myself, I culturally expressed dissatisfaction and only on the THIRD day we were given a normal set (and even the towels were not changed).

- cleaning. And it doesn't exist as such. Montenegrins are very lazy people. Although they write that every three days - until you complain - they will not be removed. By the way, we were removed only on the FIFTH DAY after the complaints. But the cleaning included only the removal of garbage (there is only one bin in the restroom and it was filled on the second day. All the time they took out the packages themselves). There was no wet, no simple cleaning. Specialist left crumpled pieces of paper to check - they did not remove it. Montenegrin cleaning in the room is to come and turn on the air conditioner (when leaving, it was always turned off and returning it was turned on, that is, the maid visited the room daily). According to this nuance, the representative of the pylon did not react very quickly. But thanks for that too.
- the Internet. Terrible. You only have the option to connect via WiFi and it's terrible. The signal is weak, but not throughout the villa. I suspect that there are only one or two points in the villa that naturally cannot cope. Constant disconnects and a weak signal in your pocket if you get a room on the ground floor.
- repair. Fresh. An excellent bed, fresh furniture, excellent plumbing (in this room there is a personal boiler) and a four-level light. The only negative was that the loot at the entrance to the bathroom was a little swollen and the doors did not close well. Well, it is. Very good blinds - during the day you can safely make darkness. There are dense violations as well as internal daily ones. The TV works and there are plenty of channels, but we didn't use it. Air conditioning is powerful - a small room instantly saturated with cold air. The balcony is small, but at the same time, a table and two chairs can be easily placed there in the company with an unfolded dryer. The renovation is fresh and good (in some photos of cheaper villas in the restrooms, mold is visible even in the photo. There is no such thing here). The restroom is small but great. In general, there are no complaints. The balcony is small but cozy. There is a clothes dryer.
- "a tea set". Tin and not a set. Small but new electric kettle, two dirty mugs, two chopped plastic plates, one dirty fork and one dull dirty knife. Just no comment. It is treated by buying plates in the old town in a shop for euros and buying sets of disposable spoons / forks in a megamarket (the cheapest there). Tin of course, but such a moment is the place to be.

- Location to the sea. The site indicates that the nearest beach (Slovenian) is 600 meters away. And this is a lie. Tracked personally - 1.24 km (this is to the place where the bottom is terrible, cutting yourself is not a problem. Tested. ) Having bathed only once, I cut myself - the girl was more fortunate. Coming out of the water, we went to look for Mogren beach through the old town, but on the first day we didn’t swim. Mogren is really the best beach in the area. On the second day we went to Hawaii (Fr. Saint Someone there). Ride 3 euros from one for the way there and back. Pair of sunbeds and an umbrella -10 euros. The water is just great. But the bottom is terrible (not the same as in Slovenian). It comes in very hard. Going to the beach for the whole day, I recommend taking a cream with UV +40 and panthenol. BUT it's individual ; ) Half of the Slovenian beach is very terrible - half is less so. But they did not take sunbeds on it. On Mogren a little more expensive. But it's worth it. And one more thing: I strongly recommend not to thump on the beach, because in which case no one will save you. There are few towers. And where they are, they are always empty. The beaches are full. I advise you to swim to the island until 10 - otherwise there will be few sunbeds to choose from. Leave at 9 am. The water is amazing. Very clean and mega salty)
- for purchases. Along the way, you can skimp at the Frank market, a mega market there and a market and a small shop on the way to the Slovenian beach. By the way, there are two types of prices on the market (there are basically no price tags) for locals and for visitors. I advise you to buy in the franc and megamarket. The products are delicious. Peaches and apples are the cheapest in Franca (delicious!!! ) Franca halfway to the Slovenian beach near the traffic light (red sign. ) The prices are absolutely reasonable. There is a huge choice to eat - a bunch of different cafes, both close to the sea and fast food. And both are very tasty. See what you can afford more.
- local residents. People are unpleasant. Vacationers are normally only those who are trying to sell you something. The rest are treated like stray dogs - with condescending disdain. Some of them are very unfriendly: at one of the stops, when I was turning around, I barely touched a woman with a backpack....So she covered me with a selected Serbian one... It was very unpleasant. Everyone smokes. There are a lot of women. Many have a very rough voice and mannerisms.
- on excursions. We did not go to the hotel to hang around. 50/50 sea/excursions. We went swimming along Kotor, to Bosnia and the CANYONS. I advise montelin (you need to walk to the embankment of the street and go right to Olympus). That excursions and especially guides are excellent. What only Jovo is worth - an excellent guide. I think that at least you need to visit the canyons. The most extensive tour You can write about all the excursions forever - but you need to look for yourself. I have not been disappointed in any. I advise you to try zip-lining along the canyons. But so-so, not particularly impressed. (837 m is not the height above the canyon, but the length of the rope. . . In real life it is about 150 m. I don't think that 20 euros is adequate. . . ). Personally, I advise the Canyons to run around the whole country. From the water you can take the sides of Kator. Bosnia / Albania for an amateur. Although Bosnia really liked it. Was on three - I advise. Although in terms of loading, to be honest, I advise you to go not for 7 nights, but for 10. For it turns out hardcore.

- transport. I wanted to rent a wheelbarrow - but I did not dare.
In general, I advise you not to be disappointed, do not count on the service. I advise everyone on the first day not to be too lazy and navigate the beaches and supermarkets. In the old town everything is more expensive and souvenirs and food. Mogren can be found focusing on the old city. There are a huge number of souvenirs....everywhere.
Summarizing the above, I can say this:
- Service 2/10 - as such, no.
- Number 9/10 - minimal gaffes. In general, everything is excellent.
- Nature 10/10 - very beautiful: from the water, from the beach, from the ground, and from the air. . .
- Water 10/10 - very clean and clear.
- Beaches 7/10 - Mogren is good. O. St. - the water is excellent, the entrance to the water in slippers. Slovenian is trash. It seems that becichi was praised - but they did not check it personally...
- Excursions 8/10 - sometimes you had to hurry to keep up. If you are going for 7 nights, take a maximum of 3 excursions. . .
It makes no sense to go to Montenegro in order to hang around in the room - you need to swim and attend excursions. The service is terrible, which is very surprising for a country whose 97% of its income comes from tourists. Nature is excellent. There are no words to describe here. Thanks to Montelain for the excellent excursions and especially thanks for Yovo))) By the way, in the very building of the "villa" it's actually just, as I understand it, 3-4 different entrepreneurs randomly bought out the rooms and just rent out the rooms (you can see this from the mailboxes near entrance doors). I regret that I went to Montenegro? NO. Worth it. A lot of beautiful places and unforgettable impressions. The other half also liked it very much. I advise you to roll up to Budva in the coming season. The town is being built very much and in the next couple of years the prices will not be the same.

And about the Montenegrin laziness - on the way back home, upon arrival in Tivat, we plunged into a mess and chaos inside the airport: the check-in was delayed, the queues were huge. Departure was delayed for more than 40 minutes - because. very imposing Montenegrins were late with the loading of luggage, as well as with refueling, as well as with loading food. Well, of course, I had to wait until they give permission to take off. Cargo at the airport is checked without worrying: and if something has beeped at you or you have a red light at the control, then it’s normal anyway....They don’t find fault with luggage at all. We flew back and forth on Dart lines. Absolutely normal a320. Quickly and without discomfort. Arriving in Kharkiv, there was a lot of positive impressions that the disgusting service could not ruin. Generally satisfied. Thank you joinup for a nice stay.
