Отдых в Черногории в отле Медитеран Holidays in Montenegro in the hotel Mediteran

We traveled as a family with two children ages 2 and 8. According to our assessment (we have extensive travel experience), the hotel really draws only on solid 2 *. Not even worth half the money paid. I read positive reviews with reasonable skepticism about their authorship.
Positive: we do not consider beautiful nature (this is not their merit), good weather too. Probably, for objectivity, it should be noted the presence of an indoor pool inside the building, although we never used it.
Negative:

1. There is no external territory, there is only a small external pool (in advertising photos it looks almost like a whole water park (6 out of 11 photos), there is simply nothing more to brag about). Objectively - an ordinary city hotel with an attached pool. Between the Mediterranean and the sea is another hotel. I saw a photo of a room with a sea view in an advertisement. How they made it I don't know. Everyone complains that the rooms with a sea view are not confirmed (we were not confirmed either).
And they apparently simply do not exist, a view of the neighboring hotel. The road to the sea around that hotel is along a path along a stink river with sewage that pours into the sea on Mediteran beach.
There are no large and medium rooms in the hotel. There are small and micro. I will not describe in detail, other tourists have already written in the comments. Numbers from the category "you go in the door and immediately fall out the window. "
2. Completely missing animation. This is not a place to stay with children. This is not a place to relax at all, it's just a hotel with a dining room and a place to sleep.
3. Dining room for breakfasts and dinners (I don't dare call it a restaurant). Clean, tidy, food is visually always fresh. They did not understand what poisoned us (me and my daughter). Suspicion of Olivier salad (be careful, grab stomach tablets). At the beach cafe that day we drank mineral water from bottles and ate only pizza all four of us, so the charge was dropped from her.
The menu was not up to expectations, very modest either due to the small size of the hotel or the greed of the management. Please pay attention to paid drinking. The hotel does not have a single cooler, despite the fact that it is forbidden to bring food and drink from the street. No complimentary bottle of water and juice pack like any other star hotel. In the morning for breakfast: tea, coffee, tap water (warm and cold) and yuppies to choose from for free. In the evening, even for tap water, you have to pay like in a restaurant. There are ten types of locally produced dry wine, Coca-Cola, mineral water, beer, juice in cans. Wine is sold by the bottle. If you want something else, you can't. We looked around and saw that 95% of visitors eat salted meatballs, potatoes and salad with free watermelon at dinner so as not to overpay for drinks (they add salt like on rafting in Turkey to sell more drinks).

Someone will say nonsense, but if you count for four - 10 euros in the evening, pay some water to drink at dinner.
4. From the category of real deception - supposedly their own water park. We actually went because of him. As it turned out, a small and insanely noisy water park is across the street from the hotel. It is paid for everyone. We went once together. paid 40 euros (15 euros for adults, 10 euros for children). The controller took the tickets at the entrance and said convincingly: "If you go out, I won't let you back in. " There are 6 or 7 slides in the water park, of which only 2 are suitable for children. Near each there is a water park worker (boys and girls aged 18) who must monitor safety. They are clearly not professionals. After several hours of sitting in the open sun in 35 degree heat, they were no longer looking anywhere. We let our daughter go to the attraction, which turned out to be dangerous (she almost choked). No one rushed to save her except her parents.
If we were not careful, we would return from the water park without her. Also, locals who were celebrating a wedding were allowed into the territory, they jumped into the water in clothes and shoes, violating all possible hygiene rules. An hour later, we all managed to get hurt (the equipment looks like homemade, poorly fitted tiles on the floor) and decided to retire in good health. 40 euro down the drain. But the music from the speakers of the water park pursued us all the rest (the windows overlooked the water park). With the double-glazed windows closed, it seemed that the speaker was in our room. Children naturally did not sleep, were capricious.
5. Free beach for hotel visitors. In the style of the 90s in the post-Soviet space. The hotel beach security covers the first two rows of sun loungers by the sea with towels and puts them on strangers, probably in their pocket. We saw how they were paid money, how they divided it among themselves. They charge 25 euros for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella on the first row by the sea.

We came with small children who want to play on the shore at the edge of the sea. We need the first or, in the worst case, the second row. We supposedly got it for free. Laying a towel on the sand is prohibited. It is forbidden to remove the towel from the sunbeds occupied by them. We caught them that they brought strangers for money, that the sunbeds are not engaged in anyone other than the staff. They grabbed our things and without our permission began to move deeper into the beach. When those around us began to pay attention to the flaring scandal, the guards reluctantly allowed us to take one sunbed in the front row for an hour.
6. Unobtrusive tour operator Pilon. When in the first minute we complained to the reception that the room did not suit us (double for four), they said: "settle down, in a couple of days we will try to find another one. " We called the representative of the tour operator Yulia, who said that she would try to help and disappeared forever.
No one moved us anywhere, two days later at the reception we were told that the rest of the rooms were even smaller. We found Pilon representative Juliana, who, after listening to us, said that everyone complains about this hotel, there was nothing to go there with children. And most importantly, she sympathizes with us. So that's what the tour operator takes commission for - empathy. Charming young blonde Yuliana gave us exactly one minute and left on business ...forever.

Summing up. In general, we are very cheerful and cheerful people, despite all these troubles, we had a good time and didn’t sweat much because of the problems. It's a pity only overpaid money for a clearly inappropriate service. This is the first time we write comments about a hotel. We feel deceived, and none of the counterparties hides this and does not try to convince us. This time we made a fatal mistake - we were in a hurry, we did not read the comments in advance.
It will be a shame if someone steps on our rake when ordering a vacation in Montenegro, especially in this hotel, or hopes for the help of the Pilon tour operator.

I wish you learn from the mistakes of others and have a good rest.
