I had a rest in this hotel in August 2011. I chose a resort and a hotel for a very long time, went through the entire Internet, and eventually settled on Dolce Vita. Didn't regret it. For those who do not expect something mega-cool, but just go for a swim, sunbathe, see the country - I advise this hotel. Who needs a service a la Egypt / Turkey and has the means - choose those hotels that are located on the 1st coastline.
Went through the tour operator Pilon International. They settled us in a room with a sea view, although we booked a standard double - a pleasant surprise : ) As I later found out, in this hotel certain rooms are assigned to each tour operator. And since there was a free 2-bed room overlooking the sea, we were settled there. By the way, when we were leaving, tourists from Odessa, who were traveling through R-Tours, were checking into the hotel. So their travel agent promised them a lot of things, including a room with a sea view. But in the hotel there were no such free rooms at R-Tours, so they settled them in the absolutely opposite wing.
Hotel. The hotel itself is quite good, urban type, 6-storey + ground floor with a restaurant where breakfasts and dinners are served. To be close to the main Montenegrin resort - Budva. 20-25 minutes to pass over the road, and Budva is already beginning. But we went there by minibus (1.5 euros there, 1 euro back : )). The hotel is a family business, therefore the employees try to help tourists in all matters, apparently they follow the image))) The guy Dalibor (one of the brothers-owners) and a very nice girl Sladzhana work in shifts at the reception. Feel free to contact them with any problems, they will be able to help. The hotel does not have its own territory. It is located on the second coastline (on the first 5 * Splendid, and 4 * Mediteran, Iberostar, Hotel Montenegro, Hotel Tara, and at the other end of the village - the Queen of Montenegro). Walk to the sea at a leisurely pace for about 15 minutes, but you need to cross the road with busy traffic (there is an underpass). The hotel has its own piece of the beach. For vacationers at the hotel for 2 sun loungers and an umbrella - 6 euros. From strangers - 8 euros. There is a shop next to the hotel - we took fruit for lunch there. It is forbidden to eat watermelon in the hotel room : ) But there is a terrace where you can eat it, as well as drink coffee, in the evening, for example, sit with a bottle of your own wine, etc. The elevator in the hotel is working. There is also a sauna, but we did not go there.
Number. We had room 402 - this is the 4th floor. There are 6 rooms on the floor: 3 in one wing and 3 in the other. As far as I understood from the floor plan, of these three, one room is a standard double, the second is a two-room, and the third is a one-room for 3 people. Our room was a standard double with a sea view. The area of the room is about 20-21 sq. m. Large double bed, bedside table on each side. Air conditioning, a wardrobe, a dressing table with a mirror, a mini-bar in the refrigerator, a free safe in the closet, a TV (there was 1 Russian channel, we didn’t bother, but you can ask Dalibor, he will find a couple more). On the balcony there is a table and two wicker chairs. The bathroom is small but good, the plumbing is new. Shower, toilet, sink, mirror, hair dryer. No shampoo/balm!! ! Keep in mind, you need to take all your own. Why is it so in a hotel where 4 stars are painted on the plate - it remains a mystery to me : ) But for me personally, these are the little things in life. Towels are changed every day, bed linen was changed 2 times in 11 days (I think I should have asked the maids to change it more often, but I was embarrassed : )). Tipping for cleaning was left only twice for 1 euro - they took it without any : ) (otherwise I read somewhere that they don’t take it). When the drain in the shower clogged, we left a request at the reception, the next day they cleaned it for us.
Nutrition. We took breakfast and dinner. Buffet. They prepare well. Breakfasts are always eggs in some form, some vegetables, a pie with cheese or ham, sausage and cheese cuts, muesli, something sweet (donuts most often), yogurt / tea / coffee / milk. For dinner, there is always one first course, two types of side dishes, there was a couple of times lasagna, a couple of types of meat or fish / squid, some vegetables, dessert, fruits (plums, nectarines, grapes, but we ate watermelon). All drinks at dinner are paid, terribly inconvenient, but in my opinion it’s like that everywhere in Europe (tea / bottled water - 1 euro, beer - 1.5 euros, wine / juice - I don’t know, we bought in a store and drank on the balcony in the evening or on the terrace below). Their dinner costs 8 euros per person (this is if you go only with breakfast, but decide to dine at the hotel), but for these 8 euros you gain as much as you want - the buffet, after all). So it's up to you to decide whether to take dinner at the hotel, or go to the cafes on the embankment (keep in mind, the portions of Montenegrins are HUGE). In principle, there are no comments on nutrition. As for the economy option - very personal! If you are leaving for an excursion early in the morning and do not get breakfast, order lunch packages at the reception in the evening. The set includes a sandwich with meat and cheese, an apple and juice in a bag : ) Modestly, but still at least something for free : )
Beach/sea. We went to the beach from the hotel, and did not look at others. The prices are posted above. Near the hotel beach there is a strip of coast for tourists who come with their umbrellas and bedding for free. But there, of course, you need to take a place early (at 7-8), we were lazy, and breakfast at the hotel from 8 in the morning, but we didn’t want to run back and forth). The sea is very clean in the mornings and until 12 o’clock. Then a film begins to appear on the water from boats and other minor troubles (pine needles used to swim, but mostly it’s garbage from tourists, but don’t think, not mountains of garbage, it just happens that something floats ), after 12 the water is no longer as clear as in the morning, small waves appear. In general, the sea becomes similar to our Crimean one))) Therefore, I liked to swim more in the mornings. There are very few people on the beach until 10 (and this is in August !!! ), everyone slips closer to 11. But even then the beach is only half full, and not like in Sudak, where there is nowhere to sit even. The beach is pebbly, clean, entry into the water is good. We swam without slippers - there are no sea urchins there! There are a lot of couples with small children, since the sea is shallow near the shore, you can safely bathe the child and let him swim by himself. The sea itself is not hot - the specifics of the Adriatic. No you 25 degrees in August, as in the Crimea. The average water temperature is 23 degrees - it's comfortable. For a couple of days the water was 20-21 degrees - that's when the sea was invigorating!
Entertainment. In Becici - none. The whole party in Budva. Becici is a typical family resort for a very relaxing holiday. What does the side of the village where the hotel is located - at least some kind of civilization (more hotels, villas, shops, cafes). If you go to the other end of the village (to the Queen of Montenegro), then there is generally sadness : ) Walking back and forth along the embankment is the only entertainment in the evening)))
Excursions. We took all the excursions from our tour operator, because the locals have identical prices on the waterfront. We went for a boat trip along the Bay of Kotor with a visit to the city of Kotor (20 euros per person), to Croatian Dubrovnik (30 euros), and to the Ostrog + Cetinje monasteries (25 euros). Everyone liked it very much! It was very hot in Dubrovnik. It is always hot there, because the city is completely lined with stone, the stone heats up and becomes stuffy. But this was the case in August, when the air temperature on the coast was about 40 degrees. The buses are comfortable and the guides are great! If anyone needs something to tell on excursions - please contact.
General impression. The country is lovely, the people are VERY friendly and welcoming. Many people know Russian, there were no problems with this. Even if they do not know, then the locals can be understood anyway - the languages are very similar. Nature is wonderful. Excursions are interesting. In 10 days I saw everything I wanted. I think next time I will go to Croatia. And maybe I will return to Montenegro : ) After all, this country is a good alternative to the fed-up Crimea and crowded Turkey.
