Чистое море, красивая природа, но больше не поедем Clear sea, beautiful nature, but we will not go again

I was with my family (dad, mom and 4 year old child) in June 2011. Somehow I didn’t have any bright impressions... To be honest, we still can’t understand why people told us about Montenegro with such enthusiasm. Maybe we just got to the wrong place at the wrong time. . . maybe. . . But first things first:
Arrived without delay. At the exit from the airport, a girl, a representative of the host country (Pilon), was waiting, all in pieces of paper and the surrounding crowd of people, because. to be told which bus to go to, you need to break through the crowd to her (the same ones who arrived like us) and introduce yourself, then she will find you on the lists and tell you where to go... we waited for dad under a palm tree for about 15 minutes... with suitcases and not sleeping child... okay, got into the minibus, another 15 minutes later we set off. We didn’t drive for long, we were transporting people along the way... In Becici, by the way, all the hotels are very far from the sea, and even on the hills...
Montenegro. Beautiful nature, clean, but somehow not very comfortable... houses, houses, houses... all the same...

Rafailovichi. A village on the seashore, a suburb of Becici, practically part of it. For some reason, it reminded me very much of Gurzuf. Also on one side of the mountain, and a steep, winding path down to the sea. And also, houses, houses, houses, with crooked streets, lanes... Back in 1933, the beach in Rafailovichi entered the top 10 most beautiful beaches in Europe, but that was almost a century ago... There are no parks, squares! There is nowhere to walk except along the embankment, there are no playgrounds for children. Our cub got tired of doing nothing himself and exhausted us... A walk along the embankment is first a passage through many restaurants and cafes, and then some undeveloped areas, however, the embankment is paved, ennobled and clean - this cannot be taken away from them!
Hotel. Indeed, 20m from the sea, 2-3 minutes walk. We met cordially, settled immediately, 2 women tried to bring suitcases - my husband did not give : ) The hotel is small, without territory. Room (No. 4) is not large: double bed + bed for a child, mini-kitchen: locker + refrigerator + sink + 2 burner electric stove + 2 hanging drawers. A few dishes, glasses, plates, wiki, spoons, a Turk's knife, a small saucepan, in general, everything is enough. (cooking in the room is strictly prohibited! keep in mind - a paradox, of course, but this is strictly! you can only warm something up, but make tea and coffee) The bathroom is combined and just tiny, but everything is very well thought out, so it didn’t seem small. Everything is solid, and the furniture and good, not expensive, but high-quality repairs. Everything worked properly, nothing fell apart did not fall off. As we later understood, the owner himself repairs everything there, and therefore it is of high quality. Balcony (6m) with a partial sea view - it is in the courtyard of the neighbors that 2 luxurious palm trees grow, which, with their splendor, obscure the view of the sea. There are 3 plastic chairs and a table on the balcony, a wire for drying is stretched (but if the neighbors hung their clothes from above, ours was wet - everything flowed down to us). Cleaning every day (high quality), towels changed daily, bedding once a week (we were changed after 5 days). The linen is dilapidated, with holes, but clean. Tipping under the pillow was left regularly and never taken! Now the unpleasant nuances... there are not many of them, but they are... In the house opposite there is a restaurant, usually in the late afternoon and until night they turn on the hood - the buzzing stinks of fish, but we soon put up with it. Nearby is something like an entertainment center where there are all sorts of machines, billiards, etc. a couple of times the music from there screamed hours until 3-4 nights. And the last - check-out no later than 10 am!! ! And all flights are mostly late in the evening. It is impossible to agree, because at 12 the next ones are already populated (the hotel works with several tour operators at once and it is filled to capacity). In this regard, we witnessed an unpleasant incident - on the day of departure, the lady went to the sea in the morning, and when she arrived (closer to dinner) her things were collected and put out on the street... She had nowhere to rinse or change clothes... We had to for these couple of hours, rent a room in a nearby hotel (they took it like a day), but this gave us the opportunity to normally go to the sea in the morning, put ourselves in order, and the baby sleep after dinner. Although it was a pity for money, the tour was paid for the day of departure too.
Beach. the one next to the hotel is a depressing sight. We walked to the left, a 5-minute walk, there is a nice small beach with azure water, and with pebbles for every taste - the smallest to large, and if you go a little further, there is a foothill passage to a larger, beautiful, remote beach. It's nice to go there in the shade.
Contingent. Local and ours. Nobody goes there anymore - there is no service, so they don't go there.

Food. Everyone is delighted. but not us... there are a lot of establishments, but so far we have found establishments where they cook normally, my liver is swollen... There are 2 normal establishments there - Dolce and Monaco, well, Porat (but not complex lunches-breakfasts ) - the rest - by and large - fast food. We had breakfast in the room on the balcony with brought sausage, and when it ended, we bought pastries in the nearest shop. I highly recommend lasagna with meat (checked on yourself - you can eat it safely) and apple pie. They bring pastries by 8 o'clock in the morning, and at 8.30 a lot is already out of stock - so I recommend coming early. Dairy products there are of high quality, they gave the baby water - everything is ok. Sausages, sausage - not tasty.
Excursions. I highly recommend ordering at "Pylon" (our host) cheaper than on the embankment, and the quality is the highest! At the very first request, a girl came for me alone!! ! from Budva. Everything was told and explained. On one of the excursions, I forgot my camera on the bus, so she herself went to pick it up from the driver. During the excursion to Dubrovnik, we were supposed to sail on a boat, but it was stormy and we went by bus - so we even returned 5 euros for an unused trip on a boat... And many other pleasant little things... Tour guides are exclusively Russian-speaking pros. If I find it later I will write the phone number. but I think you can find it online.
In general, to summarize - you can safely go if you are quite satisfied with the private sector and do not bother to think about your daily bread every day. But if you are used to the service of 5 * hotels, you are unlikely to get a lot of pleasure.
