The Property — Belgrade
The Hotel Belgrade is a no-fuss three-star on the Bečići seafront, all pale stucco and blue shutters. Its main draw is the direct beach access and a simple terrace restaurant serving grilled fish. It suits budget-conscious couples or families who want a clean base with sea views and aren't fussed about frills. Standing in the lobby, you smell salt air and hear the Adriatic lapping.
Chronicles of Bečići
Bečići began as a small fishing village, part of the Venetian and then Austro-Hungarian spheres before joining Yugoslavia. Its sandy beach, over 1.5 kilometres long, was discovered by tourism in the 1960s and quickly became a package-holiday staple. Today Bečići functions largely as a quieter, more affordable alternative to neighbouring Budva, with high-rise hotels and a short promenade. It has no historic core of its own, but its identity is firmly tied to seaside relaxation, family holidays and easy access to Budva's nightlife.
Best Time to Visit
Full Bečići guide →Best months
May, June and September: warm sea temperatures (22-25°C), long sunny days, and the main summer crowds are either building or fading.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are absolute peak: temperatures average 30°C, beaches packed, and hotel rates double. The Budva Summer Festival (music, theatre, dance) from late June to August draws extra visitors.
Budget shoulder season
May and September are the best shoulder months: hotel prices drop 30-40%, beaches are far less crowded, and the weather remains pleasant for swimming and sunbathing.
Weather & packing
Montenegro's coast bakes in summer, but late afternoon thunderstorms can roll in quickly from the mountains. Pack a light waterproof jacket even in July; sandals, a sun hat, and high-SPF sunscreen are non-negotiable.
Live City Briefing — Bečići
- The Budva–Bečići coastal road (Jadranski put) is undergoing resurfacing during summer 2026, with one-way traffic controls causing occasional delays of 15-20 minutes, especially on weekends.
- A new seasonal farmers' market opens on the Bečići promenade every Wednesday and Saturday morning from June to September, selling local olive oil and fresh produce.
- Bečići beach has retained its Blue Flag status for 2026, meaning the water is regularly tested and lifeguards are on duty from 9am to 7pm.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Belgrade, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a sea-facing room on floors 3 to 5. These are high enough to dodge street-level noise from Jadranska magistrala but still within quick stair access (the lift is small and slow in a 3-star hotel).
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the ground or first floor facing the main road. Jadranska magistrala carries local traffic and tour buses, so ground-floor rooms get engine rumble and headlight glare. Avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — the lift is audible in adjacent rooms.
Best views
Front rooms overlooking the beach promenade and the Adriatic. Back-of-house rooms look onto neighbouring lots and service areas.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 through 5. Above the road noise buffer, below any rooftop machinery (if present).
🔊 Noise notes
Jadranska magistrala is a busy coastal road. Expect scooter, car, and occasional lorry noise from early morning until late evening. The lift motor is noisy when it stops at your floor.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room in the newer annex (if available) — the main building walls are thin. 2. Check in after 14:00 to avoid queueing; there's only one receptionist and the desk doubles as the bar check.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Budva Old Town → Bečići (Eurostars stop)
💡 Bus 207 or 208. Get off at 'Bečići Plaža' stop – the hotel is 100m back toward the beach. Buy a ticket from the driver (cash only, small notes). Buses are basic and often late.
Budva Old Town (main bus stop near the marina) → Bečići Beach (Hotel Splendid stop)
💡 This bus runs only June–September. Buy a ticket from the driver (exact change needed). For the return, catch it at the same stop near the hotel. In shoulder seasons, walk the 20-min coastal path instead – it’s flat and scenic.
Podgorica Airport (TGD) → Hotel Splendid, Bečići
💡 Negotiate the fare before you get in. Official taxis at the rank charge around 30 EUR, but booking a local driver via an app like Red Taxi (Montenegro) can shave off 5-10 EUR.
Tivat Airport → Eurostars Queen of Montenegro
💡 Take the bus from Tivat Airport to Budva station (€2, 30 mins), then switch to Budva–Bečići line (€1, 20 mins). The stop for Eurostars is the Bečići roundabout – a 3-min walk. Cheapest option but slow.
Tivat Airport (TIV) → Hotel Splendid, Bečići
💡 Tivat is the closer airport for Budva Riviera stops. For a fixed price, use Airbnb Transfers or Red Taxi; drivers often hold a sign with your name. Avoid empty taxis near arrivals – they’ll try to push 50 EUR.
Tivat Airport (TIV) → Eurostars Queen of Montenegro
💡 Official taxis have yellow licence plates. Agree the fare before you get in – expect €30-40. Uber-style apps like BeTaxi or RedTaxi work locally but charge €2-5 more.
Podgorica Central Bus Station (Glavna Autobuska Stanica) → Bečići Bus Stop (near Hotel Splendid)
💡 Buses to Budva stop on the main road just above Bečići. Get off at the 'Bečići' stop near the Hotel Splendid roundabout, not Budva centre – saves you a 15-min walk downhill.
Podgorica Airport (TGD) → Eurostars Queen of Montenegro
💡 Podgorica is further than Tivat but often cheaper flights. Pre-book with a local company like 'Taxi Bečići' (ask hotel for numbers) – €50-60. The road is good but winding in places; allow 1 hour.
Bečići centre (near Sunny Side) → Budva Old Town
💡 Buy a rechargeable 'Montenegro Card' from the kiosk at Bečići bus stop — €0.50, then top up with €5. Each ride costs €0.80 instead of €1.50 cash. The bus runs along the coast road, so hop off at 'Budva Promenada' for the marina, not the main station.
Podgorica Airport (TGD) → Sunny Side Resort & Spa Cascade, Bečići
💡 Fix the price before you get in — the airport rank has a flat-rate board, but drivers might try to hike it if you look like a tourist. Cash only, euros.
Tivat Airport (TIV) → Sunny Side Resort & Spa Cascade, Bečići
💡 Tivat drivers quote higher for Bečići (15 km longer than Budva). Agree on €30–35, and insist on using the meter if one is fitted. The coastal road can jam in summer — add 10–15 mins in August.
Podgorica Airport → Sunny Side Resort, Bečići
💡 Take the airport shuttle to Budva bus station (€3, 30 mins, runs hourly). Then catch bus 2 or 5 towards Rafailovići/Bečići — get off at the 'Sunny Side' stop (look for the big yellow sign). Don't board without validating your ticket in the yellow machine by the door.

Top Attractions in Bečići
💡 Walk 800m west past the hotels to reach Rafailovići’s rocky coves—good for a quick swim away from the main crowds.
💡 After 9pm it gets quiet—perfect for a relaxed walk. The best photo light is just before sunset when the mountains turn pink behind the bay.
💡 Go early in the morning to claim a spot under the pine trees for free shade. The sun loungers cost money, but you can sit on a towel anywhere for free.
💡 This is the best spot for a free evening stroll. Grab a takeaway burek from a nearby bakery and sit on a bench facing the sea.
💡 Visit at sunset for views over the bay. The church is often locked, so try Mass times (Sunday 9am) or ask at the adjacent rectory.
💡 You can walk through the open gate most weekdays. Security is used to visitors—just nod and keep walking. The garden has benches and a view over the nearby hills.
💡 Ask at the cultural centre desk to unlock the room. It’s small but gives context to the fishing village Bečići once was. Donations welcome.
💡 Arrive by 9am for the best selection. Bring cash in small notes. A kilo of mandarins costs roughly €1–2 in season.
