Montenegro: Triple Room with a Sea View (Fingers Crossed!) - A Messy, Glorious Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Kotor - Where the Cats Reign Supreme (and the Air is Thin)
- Morning (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Land in Tivat Airport (TIV). Pray to the travel gods for smooth customs. Panic slightly when I can't immediately find the pre-booked transfer. Mutter about disorganized booking websites. Finally, find the driver, who looks like he's seen a ghost (or maybe just the Montenegrin traffic).
- Anecdote: Seriously, the airport looks tiny! Reminds me of that one time I got lost in a broom closet in a gas station. Anyway, we are good now!
- Mid-morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Drive to Kotor. The drive is breathtaking. The mountains are so imposing, they make you feel instantly insignificant (in a good way). I may sob a little from the beauty.
- Quirky Observation: The sheer number of curves on those roads! The driver seems utterly unfazed. I'm pretty sure he's secretly a mountain goat.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Arrive in Kotor! Find a seaside restaurant. Order the "local specialty," which will, inevitably, involve seafood and more olive oil than a Roman bathhouse. My stomach is rumbling loud; I hope this is worth the trek.
- Emotional Reaction: The food is amazing. That first bite of fresh fish… pure bliss. Seriously, this is already worth the trip.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Explore old Kotor. Wander the winding streets, get lost on purpose, and marvel at the fortifications. Try NOT to get bombarded by cat pictures! (It's impossible.)
- Imperfection: Totally forget to apply sunscreen. Feeling the burn already!!
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Check into the Triple Room with a Sea View (fingers still crossed!). Hope it's not a dungeon with a vague glimpse of water. Pray the air conditioning works.
- Opinionated Language: If this room is a disaster, I'm demanding a refund AND a lifetime supply of burek. I deserve it.
- Evening (6:00 PM onward): Walk around the old town. Sample gelato. Watch the sunset over the bay. Try to find a bar with a decent cocktail. (This may prove challenging).
- Rambles: Kotor is something else. Imagine a place where history and cats have a wild love affair. Every cobblestone tells a story. Every alley is an adventure. And the air… it just feels magical, almost like an older movie.
Day 2: Coastal Adventures & Budva's Bustle
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Morning swim (If weather and my sun burn are up for it). Head to Budva.
- Messy Structure: Did I remember the swim suits? Wait. Coffee! Coffee first.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Budget-friendly lunch. Takeaway from a local bakery.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Explore Budva's old town. Beach time. Hit a water park.
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Explore Budva's nightlife.
- Evening (6:00 PM onward): Dinner at a restaurant. Drink a local beer.
Day 3: The Boka Bay Beauty & Perast's Charm
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Drive via the Boka Bay. Stroll around Perast.
- Doubling Down on an Experience: The Boka Bay is going to be an absolute stunner. Pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. I'm probably going to spend an hour just staring at the water.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Lunch at a local restaurant. Eat more seafood.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Sail to the Islands. Visit the monastery.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: The islands! The monastery!! The sheer beauty of it all… I'm going to cry again, aren't I? I may even buy a cheesy souvenir. I don't care!
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Back to Kotor. Explore any shops.
- Evening (6:00 PM onward): Relax. Have dinner. Pack my bags.
Day 4: Leaving and Wishing I Never Had To
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Enjoy my last delicious coffee.
- Opinionated Language: If there's one thing I've learned, it's to never take a beautiful day for granted.
- Departure (12:00 PM): Depart from Tivat Airport (TIV).
- Emotional Reaction: I'm going to miss this place so much. The mountains, the sea, the food, the cats… everything. I'm already planning my return!
Important notes:
- This itinerary flexible. I might get distracted by a cat.
- I'm terrible at packing.
- I will undoubtedly overeat.
- I may break down into spontaneous happy tears at any given moment.
So, there you have it! Wish me luck. And maybe send me some sunscreen. And maybe some help with my luggage. Wish me luck. Or better yet, pray I remain sane!!!

Montenegro's BEST Sea View Triple Room: FAQ - Because Let's Be Real... Booking Travel is a MESS.
Okay, so "BEST Sea View"? Seriously? What's the *catch*? Is it ACTUALLY good? I've been burned.
Alright, alright, you wanna know the truth? Look, the PR fluff? I get it. "BEST" gets thrown around like confetti at a toddler's birthday. But here's the deal. I stayed at this place. Me. I’m picky. Like, judge-y picky. And yeah, the sea view? Glorious. Like, "I could sit on that balcony for hours and drink questionable local wine and watch the sun melt into the Adriatic" glorious. The "catch"? Well, it depends on your definition. It’s not a five-star resort with diamond-encrusted taps. It's REAL. It's Montenegro. It’s charming in a slightly ramshackle way, which I personally LOVE. The catch *could* be the walk up a steep hill to the place (legs of steel, people!) or maybe the fact that the wifi sometimes decides to take a vacation… But honestly? The view makes up for it. Every. Single. Time.
Triple Room? So, like, a cramped shoebox with three beds? My in-laws are coming, you see… Help.
Okay, deep breaths. Triple rooms ARE tricky. I get it. You’re envisioning a claustrophobic nightmare of awkwardly placed beds and luggage mountains. *shudders* I've BEEN there. But no! This one... Well, it’s… bigger than you think. Sure, it’s not a ballroom, but it's decent. You'll actually be able to *walk* between the beds, which is a win! The one I saw had a double and a single, with enough space for bags and not feeling like you’re sleeping in a sardine can. Seriously, though, if your in-laws snore like chainsaws, maybe book them a separate room. For everyone's sanity. Trust me on this one.
"Book Now & Save!" How much *saving* are we talking, exactly? Do I have to sell a kidney?
Alright, the money talk! Look, I appreciate a good deal as much as the next person (especially after a particularly stressful tax season). I can’t tell you the *exact* price – that changes faster than a chameleon on a rainbow. But from what I've seen, it's usually reasonable. Think… better than a hostel, but not quite luxury hotel prices. Definitely check the website. Compare prices. And then, and this is KEY, factor in the value. The view alone is worth a significant portion of the price, IMO. Also check what's included; breakfast, parking, etc. Small details sometimes add up!
What’s the deal with the location? Is it close to…? (Fill in the blank: Food, Beaches, Nightlife, Civilization?)
Okay, this is important. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! And this place… let's be honest, Montenegro is not exactly known for its easy navigability. From my memory, it was a bit of a trek, a short walk to the beach and restaurants, some of them were pretty close whilst others were a short taxi ride, so yes, quite close to food. Nightlife? It depends on what you're after, you'll have to get into a car or taxi. Civilization? You’re in Montenegro! Which is both amazing and… well, let’s just say don't expect a Starbucks on every corner. But! The beauty of it all is in the simplicity. You're there for the views, the food, the atmosphere. And the peace and quiet. Take it all in... and leave the stress behind.
Are there any *hidden* costs? Like a mandatory yak grooming fee or something?
Okay, I'm glad you asked this! HIDDEN FEES are the bane of my existence. The bane! From my experience, there weren’t any *obvious* hidden fees. But always, ALWAYS read the fine print. Seriously. The devil is in the details. Look out for city taxes (that's pretty standard), resort fees (less likely in this type of place), or anything sneaky. But honestly, the vibe of this place suggested they weren't into being shady. They seemed more focused on providing a good experience and making sure you can actually *see* the view, without having to pay extra for the privilege.
What about breakfast? Free? Good? Cold cereal and sadness?
Breakfast is crucial. Absolutely crucial. A bad breakfast can ruin a whole day of sightseeing. That's a scientific fact. I seem to remember that breakfast WAS included (double-check!), and it was pretty decent, not the over-the-top buffet bonanza, but good quality local ingredients. The real stuff. And fresh fruit, thank goodness. I was expecting cold cereal and sadness, but instead, I got something that actually felt… authentic. I'm still craving their burek. (A savory pastry, if you don't know. Look it up. Thank me later).
Is there parking? Because I'm terrible at parallel parking and I'm already stressed.
Parking in Montenegro can be… an adventure. The roads are narrow, the hills are steep, and the parking spots are often… well, let's just say creativity is encouraged. I remember parking being available. It might be on-site, it might be a short walk, or it could be down a side street that looks like it belongs in a spaghetti western. Check the details, because a lack of parking can add a lot of stress to your trip. But hey, it’s an excuse to practice your parallel parking skills, right? (Or, you know, just Uber. No shame in that game.)
Okay, I'm *almost* convinced. But what's the *vibe* like? Is it kid-friendly? Romantic? Party central?
The *vibe*… now that's the million-dollar question! This place is NOT a party hotel. Not at all. Thank goodness. It's more… laid-back. Chilled. Relaxed. I'd say it's definitely kid-friendly, in that kids are welcome (I saw a few families). But it's not like there's a kids' club or anything. More like, "Come, enjoy the view, and let the kids be kids." Romantic? Ooh, yes, ABSOLUTELY. Especially at sunset, with a bottle of wine on the balcony. Just imagine: the shimmering sea, the dramatic cliffs, and YOU. Sigh. I’m getting misty-eyed just thinking about it. Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers who appreciate beauty and tranquility. If you are looking for a noisy party vibe, this aint it!
