Hotel Splendid

This is a smart hotel and our room was very comfortable. We had a room on the 3rd floor overlooking the pool and the sea. It’s worth asking for a sea view (rather than a pool view) as, although they face the same direction, you can’t actually see the sea from the rooms below the 3rd floor. The room was lovely with more storage than I’ve ever had in a hotel room. The hairdrier was attached to the wall in the bathroom so, to avoid the humidity of the bathroom, take your own to plug in elsewhere. The hotel laid on live music each evening on an outdoor stage by the pool, directly under the area containing our room. We’d rather they hadn’t done so as it was so loud and it wasn’t always to our taste. The music ended at 11pm but I can imagine families with small children would have preferred a quieter environment at night. Our room wasn’t ready for us when we arrived and the greeting we received from the man on reception was very terse and abrupt. That didn’t give a good impression at all. We went away for a while, and received a much better welcome when we returned after 2pm. The breakfast was plentiful with everything you’d expect and more. However, pretty much all the food that should have been hot, was cold or tepid at best. The whole section to the right containing things like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, croquette potatoes, onion rings, chicken and meat pies was cold and revolting. Also the trays of crepes and omelettes were cold. There was only one coffee machine and it rarely worked and only served a microscopic portion of coffee. There were ladies walking around with coffee pots but they weren’t sufficiently attentive to the caffeine needs of their guests. The free wifi only worked well in the room. It was patchy in the restaurant and non-existent in the outdoor areas. You could pay a small fortune for a better wifi service. The glasses in our room were never changed, we had the same ones all week which was poor. There was a coffee machine in the room but they charged €1.60 per coffee pod. There was a complimentary bottle of water in the room when we arrived but we only got the one bottle. One bottle a day would have been a nice touch for what is allegedly a 5 star hotel. If I went to Montenegro again, I wouldn’t stay in Becici as it is just a beach resort. We found the Kotor Bay and Perast area much prettier. However, if you do stay in Becici, it’d be well worth considering the Splendid. It’s not 5 star – there are too many small things that spoil it – but it is clean and very,very comfortable.

We stayed there for 3 nights. We were a group of 20 people with a lot of kinds. It was amazing. The indoor swimming pool area was a dream, especialy for the kids. What can I say for the breakfast and dinner ,no words to explain how super it was. The food 10 stars and same for the staff. Everyone was polite and take care about us. The only thing that is to improve is that nobody showed as the room and the hotel . It took alot of time to find the pool area. We were a couple and we were provided with twin beds. 😑 Next time i with make sure to send a special request for double bed. Until then we send a big hug from Greece to the staff.
