Rested at the hotel from 8 to 15 September 2012. We were met at the airport and organized an individual transfer to the hotel. We booked the villa directly, without a tour package.
VILLA. To the villa from the stop where any transport can stop - including a private car, you need to go down on foot towards the sea about 50-70 meters and to the left in a cozy courtyard (landmark - right at the steps leading to the villa, a huge date palm grows) , under a luxurious old olive tree, is the villa MANGO. Everything is buried in greenery and flowers, and the color of the building stands out against the background of other villas - the color of the pulp of a ripe mango fruit! Do not confuse a cottage on 6 acres in the suburbs of a big city and a villa in the Adriatic resort 50 meters from the sea: the territory of the villa is actually the villa itself. In the shade of the olive - a table and chairs for relaxing, to the left of the front door a foot fountain - so as not to carry sand from the beach to the rooms. On a few square meters in front of the villa, behind the fence, instead of the traditional flower garden for our people, there are lemon and tangerine trees. Beautifully decorated reception in a marine style, in the corner - a stand with beach umbrellas: the tourists of the villa can use the umbrellas for free! The villa has 8 rooms, 2 on each of the 4 floors.
ROOM. Because we rested with a company of 4 adults, then we were offered 2 rooms on the 1st and 3rd floors. The first - especially for our elderly mothers, so that they do not run on foot up the stairs, on the third - we, the youth! The rooms are the same, only from the third floor - a view of the sea, and from the first - you can immediately go out of the room to sit in the shade of the olive. The windows overlook the neighboring fence, which creates additional shade and you don't have to bother with the air conditioner. The rooms only have double beds. But there is also a sofa bed. There are 4 metal chairs with soft pillows, they stood on our huge balcony, where we had breakfast all the time overlooking the sea! On the balcony there is a large table, clothesline, clothespins! All windows are covered with blinds and the door too. So light and temperature could be controlled in many different ways. All windows and doors are metal-plastic, so it is convenient to put on airing at night. The room can accommodate a couple, a family with 2 children, and two young people. There is a TV, air conditioning, very comfortable cabinets with shelves and hangers, an iron and an ironing board, a fully equipped kitchenette: a refrigerator, an induction electric stove, an electric kettle, cupboards for dishes, all the necessary utensils: a pot, a frying pan, deep and small plates, saucers , spoons, forks, knives, board, cups, glasses, glasses, dish drying, washing, washcloth, dish liquid, plastic basin for washing vegetables or fruits. Large bathroom with shower. Curtain. Pallet. There is a small window overlooking the mountains - beauty!

NUTRITION. Because the apartments do not provide meals, we ate on our own, without buying breakfast or half board anywhere. At 100 meters from the villa there are several supermarkets, mini markets, vegetable and fruit shops, a bakery. Very tasty products of all categories: both dairy and bakery. We took only buckwheat from home, because it is not in Montenegro in principle, black tea, sugar. They also bought olive oil - it turned out about 2 euros per liter, eggs - about 0.8 euros a dozen, onions, tomatoes, milk. In the morning they cooked an omelet or scrambled eggs, for lunch they cooked porridge with something meat and made a salad. Of course - tea, coffee, fruits, juices - everything is in abundance. They drank water from the tap. And already for dinner we went either to visit ; -)) or to a restaurant. In a restaurant for two, they dined from 12 euros to 35 euros ! ! For 35 euros: a bottle of white wine 0.7; king prawns, grilled sea bass. Waterfront restaurant, table overlooking the sea, live music, impeccable waiter service - the correct presentation of wine, serving fish from choosing a chilled specimen to deboning in the presence of a client - brilliant! In general, there are no problems with food. There are always a lot of goodies for snacks: pizza - 1.5 euros - 1/6 of a circle of at least 80 cm in diameter! fruits from 1 to 2 euros per kg. And figs and dates are just under your feet ; -) You just need to find them.
SERVICE. One woman cleans all 8 rooms in the hotel. Every day. He knows his work very well and does not want to listen at all, if you ask not to clean up - cleanliness should be done and that's it! There were no problems with cleaning. Always swept, wiped, rubbish taken out, plenty of paper. Of course, at the end of our holiday, we personally thanked our "bee" with tips and gifts from Ukraine. We heard that some guests complained that the maid never washed the dishes. Guys, this is funny! In the apartments of the whole world, no one washes your dishes for you, moreover, only the final cleaning is included in the price, and the room has a broom, a scoop, a bucket and a mop for self-service. So the daily services of this hardworking woman are a gift to all of us from the owner of the hotel! Our mothers had an air conditioner leak on the 1st floor. There is a telephone at the reception, we called the manager and while we were on the beach, everything was repaired. Also at the reception there is a list of excursions that you can visit and information about the services of a massage therapist. We highly recommend if Ilya works as a massage therapist during your visit. By the way, in many hotels in Budva, in villas, there were water shortages all the time, or the water was strictly on the clock. In our villa, thanks to the owners, this problem is solved due to autonomous water supply and a boiler room.
SEA. The strip of the beach, which is located 50 meters from the villa, is quite wide. But nevertheless, on the free beach there are areas filled with sun loungers and umbrellas that can be rented. It is not recommended to lie between such sun loungers. There is also a children's boarding house between the villa and the sea. And part of the beach belongs to this boarding house, so you need to conduct reconnaissance on the first day, determine "problem-free" recumbent places. We rested one day on the beach near the hotel, and then all the days we walked - to the left along the embankment to the stones and the tunnel: a great calm beach. If you go through the tunnel - the endless beach of Kamenevo - there is even a pontoon pier for diving. We walked along the embankment towards Budva - there are also a lot of beautiful places for swimming.
Two words about the rest in Montenegro itself: out of 8 days of rest, we devoted 4 days to excursions, because this country beckons and hides! A week here is catastrophically short! We rented a car for 35-40 euros per day + diesel fuel (also cost about 30 euros). But we went to the Tara river for rafting and to the ethno-village, to the Croatian Dubrovnik, to the Bay of Kotor, to the Ostrog Monastery. All excursions are for the whole day, but the impressions are for a lifetime! Considering that there were 4 of us in the car, the maximum for excursions was less than 20 euros. Montenegro at Villa MANGO is the kind of vacation that you must plan for the coming summer! You will not regret.
