About the town:
a small resort town with an airport and a port where expensive yachts are "parked". Planes fly right over the bay, not to say that it interferes, but do not expect silence, since all flights take place during the day. There are no special attractions in Tivat. On the "promenade" among dozens of restaurants there are a couple of youth cafes, but in general, IMHO a town for a relaxing holiday, young people will be bored here. Go to the port to see the yachts and the city park. The streets are tight. Kotor is only 15 minutes by bus - taxi through the tunnel. Go there for sure. Budva - 40 minutes by bus - I will not describe - there are many reviews.
About the hotel:

"Palma", declared 3 stars, where I did not understand these 3 *, we were a rather large group, I saw several rooms, more or less close to 3 * only that the hotel is positioned as a "suite" - there is air conditioning, larger rooms, view of the bay. Everything else IMHO UZHOOOOS!! ! the rooms are microscopic, if there are three in the room, then 40 centimeters remain for the passages. TVs are not in all rooms, but there is no sense where there is a small-collective antenna, and nothing but interference is caught on the "horns". Refrigerators are also not in all rooms. Shower "cabins" for the most part without doors, a watering can - a pipe from the wall at a height of 2 meters, if you want to wash your ass, you can stand on your head in the booth or depict a "birch tree". There is no hair dryer, clothes can be dried only in those rooms where there is a balcony. In general - a typical city hotel where 100% of the land is occupied by the building itself and a cafe in front of the entrance. The hotel does not have a single centimeter of its own territory. There is a bar in the lobby (beer 1.8 euros, cappuccino 1.5 euros), a public computer and Wi-Fi which is turned off at 23.00. I almost forgot. . . there is an iron in the hotel. ONE!! ! We didn't get it for 2 weeks. Queue to sign up for the reception.
There is no stated parking - you can leave your car in the alleys behind the hotel if you find a place.
Nutrition:
for the declared level, in principle, it’s normal, from the “continental” breakfast “sausages-omelette-yogurt-muesli” in a week, of course, you’ll get fucked up but edible, in the evening it’s more or less varied: 1 type of soup, 2-3 meat dishes, occasionally fish, 2-3 garnish, vegetable salads. For dessert, 1 type of fruit and 1 type of biscuit rolls. What surprised: in the evening there are no drinks in the restaurant, except for tap water, even for money - if you want tea - eat in the restaurant - then go to the lobby bar to drink coffee and tea. Paid restaurant at the hotel is expensive and IMHO bespontovy. If you buy a ticket, think carefully about whether to pay for food, because in the district 5-7 minutes on foot there are TENS of restaurants and cafes working from morning to night. Take a walk around the area - you can choose places much more interesting. If a pizzeria, then for 20-25 euros a lunch for three (2 adults + a child) with drinks, eat together in fish, leave somewhere around 40 euros. Nearby there are shops - booze / food there is understandably 2 times cheaper.
Beach-sea:

There is no private beach - LIES! But right in front of the hotel is the municipal beach. From the exit from the hotel to the sea in a straight line 10-15 meters. And this place is really the best place for swimming in the area. The beach itself is 70 meters of a concrete slab with a width of 4 to 15 m and 1.5-2 meters of pebbles in front of it for 30 meters, sun loungers are paid, there is a shower and changing cabins. The sea, of course, is not a sea, but a bay - the opposite coast is probably a kilometer or two. Surrounded by mountains, respectively, there are practically no waves, half of the rest is water in general like a mirror. The water is coldish 22-25 degrees, the entrance is pebbly. There are quite a lot of fish in the water, but almost completely without coloring, the pier is overgrown with mussels, there are small crabs and hermit crabs, I did not see sea urchins.
Excursions:
in the hotel offers in bulk. We traveled by bus to Budva-St. Stefan, by parachute to Kotor and back through the tunnel by bus, swept inland to Podgorica. I will not give any comments, nothing special, but overall I liked it.
OUTPUT:
Montenegro is a rather poor country adapted rather for a "savage" holiday. Ticket from Moscow and back 16 sput. Rent a kopeck piece with furnishings and air conditioning in Tivat 10 minutes from the sea 600 euros per month. You can travel around the country by car or motorcycle in 3-4 days. As for the hotel Palma, Tivat (Palma, Tivat) *** I will say that the hotel is for very unpretentious people who are only going to spend the night in it.
