Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Sea View Apartments Rafailovici – I mean, the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know, right? But you know what, sometimes the straightforward places are exactly what you’re looking for. This 4-star spot sits right in Rafailovici, which is basically this perfect little pocket between Budva and Becici that most tourists completely miss (their loss, really).

The thing that got me right away was how the apartments actually deliver on that “sea view” promise – and I’m talking about proper views, not some sliver of blue you have to crane your neck to see from the bathroom window. Most of the units face out toward the Adriatic, and honestly, waking up to that every morning never gets old. The apartments themselves feel more like someone’s well-kept holiday home than a typical hotel room – there’s actual counter space in the kitchenettes, decent-sized fridges, and the kind of balcony where you can actually sit with your coffee without your knees hitting the railing. The 8.0 rating makes total sense once you’re there for a day or two; it’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but everything works the way it should.

What I really appreciated was the location – Rafailovici beach is literally a two-minute walk, and it’s one of those rare spots along the Montenegrin coast where you can still find a decent patch of sand without fighting crowds, especially if you head out early. The little promenade has this great fish restaurant (locals call it “kod Ace”) where the grilled sea bass is honestly some of the best I’ve had anywhere. You’re also close enough to Budva that you can easily walk there along the coastal path – takes maybe 20 minutes and the views are incredible – but far enough away that you don’t have to deal with all the late-night party noise that echoes through Budva’s old town. Parking can be a bit tight during peak summer (July-August gets pretty crazy), but the staff usually knows where to direct you, and check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that endless paperwork some places put you through. If I had one minor gripe, it’s that the WiFi can get a bit spotty during busy periods, but honestly, when you’re looking out at that view, scrolling through emails feels pretty pointless anyway.

  • Dragan from Serbia – 10 July 2022 (8/10)

    Perfect apartment,on the best Location.Wery comfortable flat with the best view ever.

  • Mohamed from United States – 13 July 2023 (9/10)

    Right on the beach. Excellent location. Very nice size apartment and a safe, clean building.

    What could be improved: Parking and access were very difficult. However , there is a garage 5 minutes walk from the apartment for 8 euros per day unlimited access. Highly recommend using that, or you will get stuck and end up having to backup for a quarter of a mile with a narrow street with hundreds of people.

  • Maksim from Germany – 21 October 2024 (9/10)

    Апартаменты в здании на первой линии. Море прямо перед окнами, буквально в 5 метрах, многие прямо здесь и купаются. До оборудованных пляжей тоже недалеко, их полоса начинается буквально метрах в 50 дальше, можно выбирать – есть и крупная галька, и мелкая, и почти песок. Море восхитительно чистое! Пара супермаркетов недалеко, ну а кафешки вдоль всей пляжной полосы на каждом шагу. Если же захочется выйти на автомагистраль, к остановкам автобусов, то уже нужно будет взбираться в гору (нам это понадобилось только один раз, в конце отдыха, чтобы поехать в аэропорт). Апартаменты просторные, удобные, есть все необходимое (а если чего-то не было в самих апартаментах, то можно было взять в кладовых комнатах на лестничной полощадке – нам, например, понадобился пылесос, для упаковки багажа в вакуумные пакеты), кондиционер работает хорошо, ванная комната тоже удобная. Длинная терраса в собственном полном распоряжении, с террасы приятный вид на море.

    What could be improved: Оплата только наличными. Так как все общение с персоналом и заселение проходили бесконтактно, то пришлось специально договариваться, когда встретиться, чтобы передать оплату. (Но живое общение с сотрудниками было очень приветливым и дружелюбным).

  • Beáta from Hungary – 29 September 2024 (8/10)

    A szállás elhelyezkedése remek, pár lépésre a strandtól. Mérete 4-6 főnek kényelmes. A konyha alpfelszereltsége megfelelő, de éttermek sokasága található 100 méteren belül. A szállásadó Irina nagyon kedves, mindent megtesz a vendégek gondtalan nyaralásáért.

    What could be improved: Nehéz parkolót találni, szinte lehetetlen.

  • Svitlana from Ukraine – 23 September 2024 (8/10)

    Дуже зручне розташування, біля моря, апартаменти просторі, є все необхідне. Вид з балкону неперевершений . До моря рукою подати, берегова лінія, зручно що прям посередині, можна обирати на який пляж піти. Є пляж одразу біля апартаментів, але з маленькою дитиною нам на ньому було не зручно, ходили там де пісок, хвилин 10, але з такою набережною то одне задоволення.
    Дякуємо персоналу і особливо господарці Драгані за гостиприїмність, наш автобус прибув раніше і нам дозволили залишити речі, а по виїзду пішли на зустріч ( в мене маленька дитина і автобус був о 18) і дали номер щоб покласти дитину спати. Все чудово . Рекомендую

    What could be improved: По заселенню була проблема з інтернетом, але її бистро вирішили.

  • Popovic from Montenegro – 21 September 2024 (8/10)

    Stan je na samoj obali, par koraka od plaze, par koraka od restorana, na šetalištu. Besprekorno čist, opremljen svim sto je potrebno za udoban boravak. Balkon je polukružan i pruža pogled na more 180 stepeni.

  • Milica from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 4 August 2024 (8/10)

    Lokacija je odlična, pogled je fantastičan i apartman je čist.
