Boutique Hotel Momentum by Aycon

Just returned from budva monumentum hotel 11 nights half board all the staff are very nice and cheerful breakfast is very questionable as you get the evening desserts for breakfast and if they want to cater for the English they MUST invest in a toaster. Evening meal is sketchy as if not many people on half board they have a set menu but either isn't that good to be honest feel sorry for the restaurant manager as he is a nice chap. Pool rules are crazy opens 10.00 till 20.00 but u lose the sun at 18.00 so possibly pool should be 9.00 till 19.00 as restaurant is by the pool side. And you can take nothing to the poolside no water or snacks from the local supermarket even though they don't do snacks as not everyone was burger and chips at lunchtime. But other than that hotel is spotless 15 min walk to budva prominade

When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised the hotel looks lovely and was very clean and modern. We had requested a balcony room with pool view which we got but theres no furniture on it so you cant sit out on it so was a waste of time. Was told there is one chair in our room which was like a padded one and to put that on the balcony but when one of the other guests did they got a phone call from reception telling them to take it back in. Also we were 3 in a room but not catered for 3 of us only 2 of everything. We kept asking for another tea cup but never got one. We took one up from breakfast so we could all have a brew but the cleaners took it back. You're not allowed to even drink your own water by the pool you have to buy there's which at €4.50 was expensive. They watch you like hawks to make sure. I understand not eating your own food or alcohol but surely water is a necessity when it was over 40 degrees. The hotel staff were not friendly or welcoming apart from one young girl called Katarina she was always so nice. The breakfast was so random and seemed to be what was left from the night before eg fish fingers, pasta, popcorn chicken, pizza pie, cheese pie always eggs but no toast. People who were half board said the evening food was really bad and some ended up eating out. If you bought food off the menu that was very nice so couldn't understand difference in the quality. When we first got there they have 6 cabanas and we were told these were free you just had to book the day before with reception. We tried to book twice but they forgot to put our room number down for one. Part of the week they were free but then on the Sunday they decided that you had to pay €50 for one day. You didn't get money back you had to use it on food and drink. Needless to say that day they were all empty. So the next day they were back to being free lol. The pool area we thought was lovely and always so clean. We knew the hotel was in a built up area but it is very overlooked and close to all the other buildings. It was very handy for the bus station which we used for our days out. Very good bus service. Budva old town is lovely and not too far away. Overall the hotel is a lovely place just let down by stupid rules and food definitely needs to improve. Also staff could be more friendly. I've never stayed at a hotel where as soon as you check out they run up and check your room it felt like they didn't trust us at all.
