Kameliya Montesun Apartments

First Impressions

Walking into Kameliya Montesun Apartments, you immediately get that feeling of stumbling onto something special — it’s one of those four-star places that actually delivers on its promises. The property sits in Rafailovici, which honestly might be one of the best-kept secrets along Montenegro’s coast. I mean, you’re technically in Budva, but you get all the charm without the overwhelming crowds that can make the main town center feel a bit much during peak season.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — Rafailovici gives you that perfect balance between being close to everything and having your own peaceful corner. You can walk to Budva’s old town when you want the nightlife and restaurants, but when you need to decompress, you’re in this quieter stretch that feels more authentic. The recent guests aren’t wrong about rating the location a 9.4 — it’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’ve discovered something rather than just booked another beachfront hotel. The beach access is straightforward, and you know what? The local restaurants in Rafailovici are often better value than what you’ll find in the tourist-heavy areas.

The Apartment Experience

The apartments themselves strike that nice balance between having your own space and getting proper hotel-level service. Each unit feels thoughtfully designed rather than just thrown together — there’s actual attention to detail in the furnishings and layout. What really works is having a kitchenette when you want it (those local markets have incredible produce), but you’re not stuck cooking every meal like you’re camping. The spaces feel genuinely comfortable for couples, which makes sense given how highly pairs rate this place for romantic getaways.

What Sets It Apart

You know what really impressed me? The staff actually seems to know the area and can point you toward experiences that aren’t just the obvious tourist traps. They’ll tell you which beach clubs are worth the splurge and which local konoba serves the best seafood without the markup. The property maintains that upscale feel without being stuffy about it — it’s refined but relaxed, if that makes sense. Plus, the maintenance standards are consistently high, which honestly can be hit-or-miss in this region.

Why Guests Love It

That perfect 10 rating isn’t just a fluke — this place delivers on the fundamentals while adding those little touches that make a trip memorable. Couples keep coming back because it offers privacy and romance without isolating you from the energy of the Montenegrin coast. The combination of apartment-style independence with hotel-level service really works, especially when you’re planning a longer stay or want flexibility in how you spend your days. It’s the kind of place where you can have a quiet morning coffee on your terrace, spend the afternoon exploring Budva’s medieval streets, and end up at a seaside restaurant watching the sunset — all without feeling like you’re constantly packing and unpacking or dealing with tourist chaos.

Budva’s hotels showcase the perfect blend of Mediterranean charm and modern comfort, with many featuring sea view terraces and traditional Montenegrin hospitality.
