Traveled with a friend in 2010. Budva and Becici were immediately cut off - a lot of people, the beaches are dirty, too poppy, there are more of our "Russians" than in other resort cities of Montenegro. In general, the type of our Sochi and its environs.
The choice was between Petrovac and Tivat, as a result, the latter was chosen due to its more convenient location (nearby one of the 2 state international airports (another one in Podgorica), convenience in planning excursions) and good price / quality ratio.
We had a transfer from the airport to the Palma hotel. Just 5-7 minutes to go. The car from the hotel was surprisingly very decent.

The hotel is located very conveniently - not only is the beach 5 meters from the entrance, but also the water is warm and very clean in the bay. Some people don't like the beach. We went down a small ladder from concrete slabs straight into clear blue water, to the right of the slabs there was a kind of beach - well, like a children's paddling pool with pebbles.
About the hotel - the staff is very friendly, it is clear that for them you are not a visiting cash cow. The rooms are tolerable . . Depending on what you get - the doors may be old, the walls of one may not be near the shower, the TV is not particularly shown. So if you came here for outdoor activities and do not intend to spend your vacation in the room, then this hotel is for you - the money saved on the hotel is better spent on excursions, trips and restaurants.
The rooms were cleaned every day, the linen was changed every 3 days, the cleaners are great - they perform their duties well and the valuables lying on the bedside tables did not disappear - they left a tip when they left.
Tomorrow and dinner (continental) were included with accommodation. The food was not particularly whimsical. Breakfast is not varied - sausages, scrambled eggs, all sorts of eurocream, buns. You won't die of hunger. Dinner is more varied - fresh fruits, delicious cakes, and several types of hot dishes and side dishes. Without much frills - normal tasty food for a solid 4 - everything is fresh - this is not Turkey for you.
There is Wi-Fi in the lobby and there is a computer (one) with an Internet connection.
We dined in restaurants - the meat is prepared amazingly, the seafood is fresh. Portions are large and inexpensive. 25-40 euros for two for lunch. You can eat local fast food and pizzas - it will be cheaper. The concept of a hamburger here is a huge cutlet with vegetables, with whatever you want for a few euros.
We went to Croatia (Dubrovnik), Bosnia (Trebinje), Skadar Lake (located on the border of Montenegro and Albania), Kotor (a stunningly beautiful place), rode a pleasure boat around the Bay of Kotor, swam in Zhannitsa on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, we went to Budva a couple of times, visited Herceg Novi, rented a boat and rode to the Island of Flowers.
Enough has been written about all these places on the Internet, I will not repeat.

In Russian, the locals in my opinion understand better than in English - the attitude is friendly. There are a lot of foreigners - Dutch, British, Albanians, Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, food, Russians are few - but all are normal, adequate guys, which is very good.
They didn’t go to clubs much - all the nightlife in Budva. Only went 3 times to the only decent local club, Madame Coco. Note, it is not customary for Montenegrins to dance in clubs - everyone twitches a little at the bar counters and drinks. If a girl starts dancing in the presence of men, she is considered to be of easy virtue. I don't know what they thought about us guys
The look of the Montenegrins was curiously perplexed. The cocktails were amazing, the music too - although we are not fans of clubs.
A lot of impressions! Of course, the level of service in Western Europe is much higher, but Montenegro takes its toll with its stunning nature, ancient castles and amazing atmosphere.
