Recently I returned from Montenegro and I want to share my impressions. When I was going on vacation, I did not find anything in the reviews about the Mogren Hotel, so I decided to fill in the gap. We flew from Kyiv by plane of Mediterranean Airlines of Ukraine. The flight went perfectly, we were fed deliciously, and after 2 hours we were already in Tivat. Literally half an hour after landing, we were already sitting on the bus taking us to Budva. We drove for a very short time, and now we are near the hotel. The settlement went without problems, although our group (24 people) mostly consisted of women over 40. Some then ran to change rooms to rooms with a balcony (they changed without problems), but everything suited us anyway. We were not going to hang around in the room, and the living conditions there are standard. Towels were changed every day and bed linen once a week. The hotel is a bit run down, located in the heart of resort life, close to the beach and opposite the old town. It does not have its own territory and there is no pool, but it is not needed when such a wonderful sea is nearby. The water is emerald in color, completely transparent, even near the buoys you can see the bottom and fish. Fish swim near the shore, where there is not even a small surf. The water just splashes along the shore. Deep begins quickly, and you do not have to wander through the water for a long time. I strongly advise everyone not to go to the city beach (many of us were injured there), but to Mogren Beach. For us, the entrance was free, for strangers - 1 euro (as they say in Montenegro). For a deck chair and an umbrella, you had to pay 5 euros each. Be sure to buy special slippers for the beach on the waterfront in shops. They will not let you injure your feet on sharp stones or sea urchins. They cost 10 euros.
There is no buffet in the hotel, in principle, although we were promised a buffet breakfast. In fact, we were all sitting at the tables, and the waiters offered us options, and you could only choose one, for example, scrambled eggs with bacon, omelet with cheese, omelet with ham, ham and cheese, and meat or cheese pie. Here, choose. Even the women remained half-starved, to say nothing of the men. Mandatory - orange juice, bread (limited), butter, jam, honey. Drinks also need to choose one option - coffee, tea, kefir, cocoa. In general, this is not Turkey and not Egypt. But after dinner we could hardly crawl out from the table. We were offered an appetizer (spaghetti or meat casserole), soup (the same, but tasty), hot - fish or various meats with a side dish, and dessert - watermelon or cake or pudding. As a result, everyone gained weight.
But in general, we were satisfied with the rest. A very clean and friendly country. Benevolent people. There is absolutely no theft (in the afternoon I forgot the purchase on the bench, and in the evening I found it there). We will definitely come again, but we will not take food at the hotel again.
