Montenegro's Hidden Gem: Stunning 1-BR Hotel Vukov Apartment!
Montenegro's Hidden Gem: Vukov Apartment - Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's Not Your Average Getaway! (A Review)
Alright, alright, LISTEN UP because I just stumbled out of Vukov Apartment, this supposed “hidden gem” in Montenegro, and I’m still buzzing. Seriously, consider this your official heads-up: this place isn't pretending to be special; it IS special. And I'm here to spill the (Montenegrin) tea.
First off, let me be real: I'm a total sucker for a good view. Especially when I'm recovering from the epic jet lag. And, OH. MY. GOD. The Pool with a View? Forget about it. It's not just a pool; it’s a portal. You're swimming in the cool water, sun kissing your skin, and the Adriatic Sea is just… there. Like, you could practically swim to Italy if you were feeling ambitious (and, you know, had a boat). It was insane. I spent a whole afternoon just staring. I even took like, a thousand pictures. And believe me, they still don't do it justice. They claim it's the best thing to ever happen to the earth's crust in their advertisement, and this time they were completely correct.
Accessibility? Okay, this is where I put on my serious face for a sec. They've got Facilities for Disabled Guests listed, and while I don't have personal experience here (thankfully!), the presence of an Elevator is a great sign. They also list, CCTV in common areas, and CCTV outside property which is great for ensuring your safety.
Cleanliness & Safety: The Obsessive-Compulsive's Dream. From what I could tell they go completely crazy on this aspect. I'm talking, the level of cleanliness is next-level. The list of cleaning protocols reads like a medieval torture device designed to eradicate every single germ on earth, and it’s strangely comforting. They use Anti-viral cleaning products, do Daily disinfection in common areas, the staff has clearly been trained to do everything and do it super well. There are Hand sanitizers everywhere! They even say the rooms themselves get Room Sanitization between stays. And for those germaphobes amongst us, they even gave you the Room sanitization opt-out available. Kudos to them!
The Room Itself: Your Own Little Adriatic Paradise.
Okay, so, the advertised 1-BR Hotel Vukov Apartment? Yeah, it's accurate. It's actually a lovely apartment. It's got Air conditioning (essential, trust me), a seriously comfy Sofa, a Refrigerator stocked with… well, I can't remember, but it was something, and a Coffee/tea maker. They've thought of the little things. No, seriously, they had even a Scale (which I conveniently avoided using, after all that gorging on the local pastries). The Wi-Fi [free] in all the rooms worked, which is a major win because even if the scenery outside is gorgeous, sometimes you just need to doomscroll. The Bedroom was comfortable and spacious.
And the Bed… Oh, the bed. I fell asleep so fast, like a narcoleptic baby. And there was an Additional toilet and a Private bathroom with Separate shower/bathtub, which is always appreciated. They even have Blackout curtains, essential for warding off those pesky early-morning sunbeams. (Unless, like me, you plan on waking up and immediately going back into the pool.) They had every single things: Alarm clock, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
But… let's get real, it wasn't ALL sunshine and roses, right?
Okay, here's the messy part. The Internet access – LAN wasn't exactly lightning fast. I had to do some work for a day, but the connection felt extremely slow. The same goes for the food delivery times, sometimes took a fair amount of time. Not a huge deal, just a speed bump on an otherwise smooth ride. Also I kept pressing the Room service [24-hour], but they seemed to be taking a very hard time getting to my room.
Food, Glorious Food!
Okay, let's talk about the food. This is where Vukov really shines. I'm not kidding. They did a Breakfast in room, for a small fee! The Breakfast [buffet] was the stuff of legends. They had everything from Asian breakfast to the usual Western breakfast, but the local pastries… oh, the pastries. Flaky, buttery, and utterly irresistible. I may have gained five pounds. I'm not even exaggerating. The Restaurants are something else. The A la carte in restaurant was phenomenal - the selection was varied and exquisite. And the bar? The Poolside bar was the perfect place to sip a cocktail (or three) and watch the sunset.
The Little Things (and Some Not-So-Little Things):
- Services and conveniences: They have Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, a Concierge that was unbelievably helpful, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, and a Smoking area (which I, as a non-smoker, appreciated).
- For the kids: They’ve got Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids meal if you are with kids, which is a big bonus for families.
- Getting around: They have Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Taxi service, and Valet parking.
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant.
The Verdict: Book It, You Magnificent Human Being!
Look, I'm just going to say it: Vukov Apartment is a freaking win. It’s stylish, it’s comfy, it’s clean, it’s convenient, the people are friendly (even though I was a bit of a mess after the jet lag). The food is to die for. But mostly, it has soul. It has that magical feeling of being truly away from it all. Like, I’m already planning my return. Seriously – if you're looking for a getaway in Montenegro that's a little bit special, a little bit wild, and a whole lot of wonderful, don't hesitate. BOOK IT. You won't regret it.

Nha Trang's Hidden Gem: Unbelievable Luxury at Miracle Hotel (You Won't Believe Your Eyes!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to embark on a mental trip to the glorious, slightly-worn, yet utterly charming Hotel Vukov Most in Niksic, Montenegro. And let me tell you, it wasn't all sunshine and roses, okay? But it was memorable.
The "Almost-Perfect" Niksic Adventure: One Week in a One-Bedroom Apartment
Day 1: Arrival and "Is This Really It?" Moment
- Time: Late afternoon. Delayed flight. Naturally.
- Activity: Dragging my weary bones into Niksic. Picture this: me, slightly crumpled travel outfit, a suitcase threatening to explode, and a serious case of "where the hell am I?" The arrival at Hotel Vukov Most… well, the pictures online were… optimistic. Let's just say the lobby smelled strongly of both institutional cleaner and grandma's potpourri. Charming in its own way, though.
- Transportation: Taxi from Podgorica airport (which was also, ahem, "rustic.")
- Emotional Reaction: Mild panic. "Did I make a mistake? Is this apartment going to be a dungeon? Is the wifi even going to work?" (Wifi, by the way, was a constant battle. More on that later.)
- Observations: The taxi driver, God bless him, didn't speak a lick of English. But he kept pointing dramatically at the mountains. "Montenegro," he kept saying, beaming. He was right, though. The mountains nearly took my breath away. Almost made me forget the questionable elevator.
- Messiness: Okay, so the apartment. It was… functional. The bedspread looked like it had seen a few generations. But the view! The view was EVERYTHING. Sweeping landscape, a glimpse of the lake… Suddenly, all the imperfections seemed irrelevant. Almost.
Day 2: Lake Krupac and the Great Coffee Conspiracy
- Time: Morning. After a surprisingly restful night (blame the jetlag, not the bed.)
- Activity: Hike. Okay, lumber. To Lake Krupac. I had visions of myself, gracefully strolling along the shore. Realistically, it was more of a "slightly out of breath, slightly sunburnt shuffle." But hey, the lake was gorgeous. Crystal-clear water, people swimming, kayakers… I even attempted a selfie, which, predictably, failed miserably.
- Transportation: Walking, a testament to my stubborn refusal to rent a rental car (which, in hindsight, might have been a mistake.)
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unfiltered joy. Seriously, just for a moment I was able to shut out the world. I was at peace.
- Observations: The smell of roasting coffee. I'm a coffee addict, bordering on the neurotic. The coffee culture here is… intense. Everywhere, tiny cafes are packed. The espresso is strong, the conversations louder.
- Messiness: The Great Coffee Conspiracy. The first cafe I tried? Lukewarm. The second? Bitter as my ex-boyfriend's soul. Third time's the charm (barely). I think I found a good one. It's a daily quest. I'm convinced there's a secret society brewing subpar coffee just to torment tourists.
Day 3: Fortress Onogošt and the Cheese Incident
- Time: Afternoon. The after-lunch slump hit hard.
- Activity: Exploring the ruins of Fortress Onogošt. This was cool. History, crumbling walls, that sort of thing. I got a bit lost, naturally (remember the car situation?) but it was okay.
- Transportation: More walking.
- Emotional Reaction: Curiosity. "What did life here really look like?" I tried to imagine the people who lived here, the battles they fought.
- Observations: The views from the fortress were incredible. You could see the whole town spread out before you. Also, a surprising number of cats. Always cats. They judged my every move.
- Messiness: The Cheese Incident. I went to the market. They had this incredible local cheese that looked delicious, and I was super excited. But the shop owner… she spoke zero English. I gestured wildly at the cheese, made some sort of grunting noise of approval, and ended up with a huge block of something that tasted… peculiar. Let's just say it was a cultural experience that involved a lot of water.
Day 4: The Mostar Day Trip (and the Train That Almost Didn't)
- Time: All day. Early start.
- Activity: A day trip to Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Beautiful city, iconic bridge, a must-see.
- Transportation: Train from Niksic to Podgorica, then Bus to Mostar.
- Emotional Reaction: Mixed feelings. Exuberant at the gorgeous Mostar city, and relief when the train actually left on time. (The train was a bit of a gamble. Someone told me it was usually late. I took the gamble! I hate taking the gamble.)
- Observations: The train ride was an experience in itself. The scenery was stunning, and the people were friendly, even if we didn’t share a common language.
- Messiness: The train to Podgorica was 45 minutes delayed. After I made my bus connection from Podgorica to Mostar, I barely had time to catch my breath before I embarked on the most incredible day.
Day 5: The Monastery and a Quiet Evening
- Time: Morning & Evening.
- Activity: I wanted to be in nature, so I went to a monastery. The Monastery was beautiful, peaceful, and quiet, which was lovely.
- Transportation: Taxi.
- Emotional Reaction: I am relaxed and at peace now.
- Observations: The monastery was beautiful, peaceful, and quiet, which was lovely.
- Messiness: I spent the evening reading and ordering room service. A perfectly imperfect day.
Day 6: More Mountains and a Restaurant Rhapsody
- Time: All day.
- Activity: More hiking. More mountains.
- Transportation: Walking.
- Emotional Reaction: I am enjoying this vacation!
- Observations: The views were incredible.
- Messiness: I went to one of the best-looking restaurants in the city and had an amazing, multi-hour meal.
Day 7: Departure and a "I'll Be Back" Vow
- Time: Morning. The dreaded packing.
- Activity: Saying goodbye to Hotel Vukov Most (and half-heartedly tidying the apartment.)
- Transportation: Taxi to Podgorica airport (same driver? Praying not.)
- Emotional Reaction: A bittersweet mix. Relief to be heading home, sadness to leave. I'd grown to love this messy, imperfect place. Montenegro, the food, the mountains, the coffee (still not perfect, mind you) had gotten under my skin.
- Observations: The apartment, on departure, was a testament to my general lack of organizational skills. Clothes strewn everywhere, half-empty coffee cups, a vague sense of "what did I even do this week?"
- Messiness: As I drove to the airport, I made a vow. I would absolutely be back. This time, I would rent a car, master the coffee situation, and probably learn some basic Serbian. Because Montenegro, with all its quirks and imperfections, was a place that had captured my heart. And that, my friends, is a win. Until next time, Niksic!
