Monte Casa Spa & Wellness

“A great place to calm and relax.”

I have visited that hotel second time. The hotel is great. All working people there are very nice and helpful. The area is amazing. It is very good for people with small children. Everything is near. I love that place.

“Good hotel - but need blackout curtains and air conditioning”

This was the fourth and final hotel that we stayed at during our Jules Verne ‘Montenegro Explorer’ tour, and we stayed there for 3 nights. It’s at the west end of Petrovac, just behind the front row of restaurants. When you arrive, the lobby area gives a good impression – it is spacious and cool, w… more

This was the fourth and final hotel that we stayed at during our Jules Verne ‘Montenegro Explorer’ tour, and we stayed there for 3 nights. It’s at the west end of Petrovac, just behind the front row of restaurants. When you arrive, the lobby area gives a good impression – it is spacious and cool, which was very much appreciated when we arrived after a long day of travelling. Check in was swift and we were delighted to find that we had been allocated to room 203, which was on the same level as the reception and had a pool and partial sea view. The décor of the room was rather outdated, but this was offset by a good amount of storage space plus a balcony. It was warm, but not too hot, on our first evening, so we left the balcony door open rather than using the air conditioning. The following morning, we awoke to find that the room was incredibly bright and hot due to its east-facing aspect and lack of blackout curtains. Luckily, we had planned to be out for most of the day, as it was far too hot to stay in the room (and we usually like the heat). When we returned later in the day, we assumed it would be much cooler – but it wasn’t. We tried to use the air-conditioning to cool things down, only to find that it barely worked. We had the same temperature issues for the rest of our stay and only managed to deal with them by staying out of the room in the morning and keeping the balcony door open overnight (which then meant we were subject to noise from the local restaurants and bars). We were also subject to noise from a kids party in the indoor swimming pool, which appears to be hired out for local parties. We didn’t make use of the outdoor swimming pool, as we were generally out during the day, but one of our group went for a swim and said it was freezing. The pool itself is not very big and there were only 10 sunbeds available with no pool umbrellas, so we weren’t sad that we ended up being too busy to try and use it. On a more positive note, we really enjoyed the breakfast buffet which had a lot of choice. Petrovac is a lovely place to visit but, while I wouldn’t be unhappy about staying at the Monte Casa again, I think there are probably better hotel choices in the area.

“Not quite as described on websites”

Rooms with sea view are nice and also the pool with parasols. And location is perfect - 50 meters to ocean and nice restaurants.

Rooms with sea view are nice and also the pool with parasols. And location is perfect - 50 meters to ocean and nice restaurants. But - we think the description on the websites are not what you get and therefore we were very disappointed. The breakfast buffet is big - but not very delicious. It was the same all 4 mornings, the milk/yoghurt was warm and the food was not presented in a nice way. The dinner buffet was even worse if you arrived shortly after it was opened - and we ended up eating elsewhere even though we had it for free. It was not even close to what was showed at the websites. The fitness room was big but not well-maintained. The people in the reception were nice and tried their best - and the overdosed promotion of the hotel is of course out oft their hands. The hotel is overpriced snd oversold, and we would go for another hotel another time.

“Decent hotel”

Our room was clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. Breakfast was vast but nothing was cooled and after sitting out in 35 degree heat for several hours every morning, it was not food safe.

Our room was clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. Breakfast was vast but nothing was cooled and after sitting out in 35 degree heat for several hours every morning, it was not food safe. Nothing was covered and many guests were coughing and sneezing and using their hands to pick up food. The sauna and steam room needed a deep clean but the pools were lovely and a good temperature. Hot water in the rooms did not work and showers/baths were lukewarm at best. Beds were comfortable and parking was easy. Overall a decent hotel but this is not a luxury hotel by any means.
