IBEROSTAR WAVES SLAVIJA

Check in left a great impression on us - staff were lovely and we got a room upgrade plus a glass of champagne, which was well received after driving from Kotor in heavy traffic! Car park was €10 a day - some spaces were pretty small as the parking is underground. We were upgraded to a family room which was massive! We had a huge comfy bed and a sea view - this does overlook a main road so could sometimes be noisy but not enough to keep us awake. The balcony wrapped all round the lounge and bedroom. Breakfast was included in our rate and there was a decent selection. The hotel has a great rooftop area with plenty loungers and an infinity pool - complete suntrap. You can use the sister hotel if a beach is preferred. The hotel is a 20 min walk to old town but we preferred the location in order to have the space and the option of sitting by the pool. Really enjoyed our stay.

This hotel is excellent!every member of staff couldn’t be more helpful,it’s lovely and clean and in an ideal location! The room we stayed in was very spacious,and even though the hotel is on a main road you can’t hear the traffic. The pool/bar on the roof gives excellent views of the sea,town and surrounding scenery. Some reviews say it’s a long walk to the old town,it’s not really,15-20 minutes,but you pass plenty of bars,restaurants and ice cream parlours that you could stop on the way if needed. The breakfast had a good selection,didn’t eat in the restaurant but had a coupe of snacks from the pool bar,burger and pizza,and they were both very good and reasonably priced! From the pool bar you can see a lot of building work going on,and just hope that in the future the view won’t be too affected. Would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again!

We were supposed to go on hols for a week from 8th June but the night before in the hotel at Manchester airport my partner got poorly so we ended up only being able to go for 4 nights. Still, it was amazing. From arriving, the reception staff were so welcoming and knew about our predicament. Drinks were offered and we felt so welcome. The hotel itself was so lovely, quite upmarket but with a really friendly feel, not at all pretentious. We were on the first floor but the jewel of the crown was the 9th floor bar, restaurant and infinity pool with loungers (always lots available). Free pool towels available from the 9th floor and the 7th floor spa. We didn't book any treatments but the sauna was available any time for residents. The room we had was lovely - huge bed - we didn't have a view, the view was actually the back of a shop but it didn't matter as it was quiet and secluded. The second jewel in the crown was breakfast. Self serve in part but could opt from the menu if wanted cooked or eggs Benedict etc. We actually looked forward to breakfast and it was great not to be in a huge mass queue situation. The staff are lovely, the hotel itself was in a lovely setting and we walked to the Old Town on the first night. I'd fully recommend this hotel for a relaxing break where it's luxurious but friendly.

Nice hotel and friendly staff. Location is pretty far from old town, a good 25 minute walk. This is fine once or twice but by the end of our stay we were sick of the walk but taxis add up quickly. The breakfast was a very small selection and often cold or soggy. Quite hard to navigate as it’s a buffet yet waiters try to offer a menu? We didn’t really understand it and skipped it a few times. Our room was lovely and the bathroom was nice and modern. Our double bed was just two singles pushed together. I called to query this and found out 90% of the beds in the hotel are just two singles pushed together and they don’t have many doubles to offer. Bar is pretty expensive €13/€14 a cocktail and €9 a small wine. Ultimately, we had a nice stay but we didn’t think this was 4 star or 5 star standard.

The hotel is a few minutes walk from the beach or a taxi to the sister hotel for free beach loungers. Taxi ride to the old citadel in the evenings where there are great restaurants and lovely atmosphere. Hotel very well appointed, fabulous marble in public areas. Roof top pool and bar/restaurant a highlight for sundowners and cooling off. Food in evenings lacked variety and quality, breakfasts were fine. Communal areas quite small compared to the size of the hotel. George the Duty Manager was excellent and really listened when we had any issues, then sorted them quickly and effectively. He runs a very professional front-of-house and concierge team, where communications from shift to shift were seamless. All staff keen to look after us, some just not fully trained yet, but George is aware of this. I would recommend Budva as a centre, then visit Kotor and Tivat for day trips.

Appraisal when needed. Thank you so much to the team and staff who worked at this hotel. Each and every one gave us excellent service. Two in particular stood out... Don't have her name because t it was the short blond haired lady who was a waitress up on the roof top bar. She gave us the excellent service throughout. Always very efficient,never waited for the tables to be cleaned and immediately serviced us on arrival. Thank you. Secondly our Concierge "Bojana". What a GEM. Very informative down to the last detail. Would go the extra mile and beyond to help. Advised us on our whereabouts in town which was very useful. Polite, genuine and a Beautiful person. If all persons woul take pride in their work as much as her, what a Wonderful World we would live in.... Wonderful Stay. Thank you once again Bojana. The Welsh Couple ( Who made you 🥲) Beautiful Hotel, beautiful rooms and lovely decorated. Only downside was, on our luxury balcony overlooking the sea and towards the old town was above the main road. It was so noisy there was never a pleasure sitting outside to have a morning coffee and take in the sights. Such a shame. It was like overwatching a Motorway.. Everything else made up for one blip!!

We chose this hotel for it's location. Close to the promenade and Budva old town. We were not disappointed. Our room was large with a balcony that was joined to our friends next door. We did not pay for a sea view so had a room at the side of the hotel. Lovely large bed, sofa and 2 armchairs and a large bathroom with a spacious shower. Lots of wardrobe space. We only had breakfast at the hotel which was good. Opportunity to order off the small menu or a buffet with all you could ask for. We found the staff to be excellent, friendly and professional. The roof terrace was a bonus, with a large lounger area, sofas for drinks and an inside restaurant for lunch. It is about a twenty minute walk to the old town, the promenade being lined with open air restaurants. The old town is beautiful. If you pay 6 euros to go into the museum you get to walk some of the old walls. We also went to a hillside restaurant called Vista, which is 5 minuutes by taxi for 5 euros. This is absolutely beautiful, with panoramic views of the old town and a must visit. A bit more expensive than the promenade restaurants, more like UK restaurant prices but definitely worth it. We also went to Petrovac, Presat and Kotor, all were beautiful.
