Iberostar Waves Herceg Novi - All Inclusive

It is an all inclusive hotel and they are not mean. The quality of food and drinks are better than expected. Worth the stay.

Was worried going here when I read about steps. I emailed the hotel asking if I could have a ground floor room near everything if possible. They did do this, and the room was fabulous, so close to the pool restaurant, etc. Although there were still quite a few steps down and back up from restaurant. If you have any mobility problems at all, i wouldn't stay here. If you are looking for a busy place with lots happening, this hotel isn't for you. But if it's a peaceful weeks holiday you are looking for, this hotel ticks all the boxes. Rooms were spotless, beds and pillows comfy. The food was fine, and I always found something to eat. Staff all very friendly and hard working. The views from this hotel are amazing. A few days we were able to watch dolfins playing in the sea. There is a boat that took you from the hotel to the nearest town. €5 each way. But again, in Oct, not much happening there.

The hotel looks great in the brochures but hides a few disappointing facts. The hotel is quite isolated but the views are delightful. There are taxis and boats to the town all at a cost. You do not get the perspective of the steep hillside it is on and there is no indication regarding the amount of steps you have to encounter. The next fact is that the sun disappears behind the hillside mid afternoon so if you are a sun worshipper you will be upset as you look across the bay and hercig novi and surrounding area is still bathed in sunshine and you are not. The staff are great and the restaurant has a decent selection which caters for most. The rooms are comfortable but make sure yoo ask for a walk in shower if you have any mobility issues. The shower over the bath requires a large step in/out. The only Tv channels in english are the news channels . Premium drinks at the bar are chargeable. This was my first iberostar hotel and I will try others thanks to the service I received but unfortunately don't return to this one. On a final note Montenegro is beautiful and is absolutely worth a visit.

Still here as I write this review......lovely, clean and beautiful hotel nestled in a quiet corner of Herceg Novi....check in quick and seamless. My room was spotless with a decent seaview. No lifts, loads of stairs, but I need it for exercise as there's a vast amount of food(which is super tasty) and drinks available that I might need to shed before leaving.... Staff on top of their game-Very helpful, not pu shy, and always willing to help with a smile. Was on a solo trip so I could enjoy the serenity of the whole place. Highly recommended. End of the season, but this didn't affect service at all. Will definitely come back.

Amazing hotel. Location and views were just spectacular. Not that hilly of a place as a lot of people are saying. All buildings are quite close, so there was no problem with that for us. Room was spotless. Water stations was a great idea. Food was really good and fresh everyday. Drinks were also good, they even had branded whiskey. Which you don’t get in Turkey sometimes. As vegans we rarely have a lot of choices for food, but this hotel was an exception. All day long we had so many options. We’re especially grateful to the chef Ilja, who made vegan pizza just for us, which were so delicious ☺️ It’s really nice that there was a few evenings for the dancing. I had a lot of fun. Highly recommend. Would definitely return, but we don’t go to the same place twice. Thank you so much. ☺️

We have just come home after a week at the hotel and it is a decent 4 star inclusive hotel. Yes it has steps up and down to rooms, restaurant bar, pool and area near the water but this is not made a secret - it is part and parcel of hotel and any research/reviews are clear about this. This was not difficult for us and we are fairly ‘middle aged’ lol. We had a room in the block at the back of the hotel - Verena (hope I spelled that correctly) on the 5th floor - the view was spectacular! Room was lovely, beds comfy, shower great and cleaned every day. Nothing to complain about. Water in the room - there is a glass carafe in the room which you fill from water stations on each floor as many times as you need - I much prefer this as the hotel is clearly trying to reduce the use of single use plastic - good for them - it’s not a pain to do this and should be applauded. Food - despite some reviews the food was fine - plenty to choose from at every setting. Breakfast - cereal, fruit, yogurt, fresh juice, herbal teas, tea, coffee, milk and non dairy milk, pastries, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, omelette station, meats, cheeses etc. Lunch - salads, mixed salads, grilled meat, grilled fish, vegetable dishes, chips, meat and fish dishes, pasta dishes and pizza and lovely deserts. The same for dinner - if you can’t find something to eat to make a meal I would be really surprised to be honest. Again, the desserts are great . Bars - roof top bar is lovely but of course only open in good weather - great views. Pool bar and pool area- bar open most of the day, tables are close together and the loungers are close together around the pool area but it’s the space that they have. Beach area/platforms by the water - due to the weather whilst we were there, we only spent one day here - great views, with sun loungers and a beach bar. Great views from here. Indoor bar - there is a very small bar under the restaurant when the weather is bad, this is the only area that I would suggest try to improved on. It’s small the ambiance is a bit rubbish but I think that could be improved with more comfy seating (dependant on space) but certainly with better lighting, more subtle and not so bright and cold feeling. It would be nice if the hotel could have a more larger, indoor lounge/bar area that could be used to sit and chill during the day but also as a bar area in the evening but I can’t see where this could be done due to the footprint of the hotel and space available, unfortunately. Entertainment - didn’t take part in day time entertainment/activities so can’t comment. Evening - had the odd thing going off in the bar area but again didn’t take much notice as either went to rooftop bar or took a drink back to the room, which you can do every easily. Things to do - unfortunately we were limited due to the stormy weather as the boats didn’t run due to the weather but we took a boat taxi across to Herceg Novi when the weather was ok to do this and it’s worth doing this. We had
