The Property — Montenegro
The Hotel Montenegro is a solid four-star with a no-fuss beachfront attitude: terracotta floors, a large saltwater pool and a lobby that smells of sunscreen and coffee. It suits families and couples who want a reliable base on the pebble shore, with the Adriatic literally at the edge of the sun loungers. The real draw is location — you step off the promenade straight into the bar, and from the upper rooms you get a full view of the Budva Riviera without the noise.
Chronicles of Bečići
Bečići began as a modest fishing settlement, but its 2km stretch of fine pebble beach drew Austro-Hungarian tourists in the late 19th century, prompting the construction of seaside villas. After World War II, the village became part of the Budva municipality and grew as a planned resort, with concrete hotels going up along the waterfront in the 1960s and 70s. Today it's a quieter alternative to Budva, known for its Blue Flag beach and the adjacent Sveti Nikola island, accessible by water taxi. The old stone church of St. Mark, built in the 17th century, remains a modest landmark among the modern hotels.
Best Time to Visit
Full Bečići guide →Best months
June and September offer warm sea temperatures (23-25°C) with fewer crowds than July-August. May also works for budget travel, though sea is cooler at 18-20°C.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak: temperatures hit 30-35°C, the beach is packed, and hotel rates double. The Budva Summer Festival (music and theatre events through July-August) drives bookings. At Hotel Montenegro, expect rates at their maximum for standard rooms.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and early October are the best shoulder months: sea still warm (22°C), room rates drop 30-40%, and the crowds thin out. The weather is still pleasant for sightseeing at 22-26°C.
Weather & packing
July is hot and dry, but a sudden afternoon thunderstorm can roll in from the mountains; always carry a light waterproof layer. Pack swimwear, sandals, sunblock, and a wrap or light jacket for evenings by the sea.
Live City Briefing — Bečići
- The Budva-Becici coastal road is undergoing resurfacing until September 2026, expect 10-15 minute delays and some detours near the Hotel Montenegro entrance.
- A new water taxi service from Becici beach to Sveti Nikola island launched in June 2026, running every 30 minutes from 9am to 8pm, costing €5 each way.
- Seasonal note: the annual 'Becici Jazz Nights' are scheduled for the first weekend of July 2026, with free concerts on the beach promenade — expect higher footfall around the hotel.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Montenegro, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5 facing the sea side (south/east) — these are high enough to avoid ground-level foot traffic and service noise, with the best chance of an unobstructed view over the promenade and beach. Rooms at the rear on these floors are quieter than lower ones.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor and first-floor rooms, especially those facing the street (Jadranska magistrala); this is a main coastal road with constant traffic noise. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor — the lift can be audible in adjacent rooms, particularly during early morning housekeeping runs.
Best views
Sea view rooms on the south-east side overlooking the Bečići beach and promenade. The address 'Jadranska magistrala' runs along the coast, so rooms facing away from the road (towards the water) are best. Corner rooms at the end of corridors may get a partial side view of the marina.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 (if lift serves all floors; otherwise uppermost accessible via stairs). These are above street-level bustle and below any rooftop terrace or mechanical plant noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Jadranska magistrala is a busy two-lane road carrying local and tourist traffic, plus coaches from Budva (10 min away). Expect audible noise on the street side from around 7am to late evening. The ground floor may also pick up noise from the restaurant/bar and luggage trolleys.
Insider tips
1. Request a sea-view room on floors 3-5 at booking, then confirm by phone 48 hours before arrival — these go fast in summer. 2. If you drive, check if the hotel offers secure parking (many 4-stars do) as street parking along Jadranska magistrala is limited and can be noisy. 3. Ask for a room at the far end of the corridor (away from the lift) for less footfall.
- 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.
