could be Monaco on the Adriatic - should take trebinje as an example.
In a nutshell
Great relaxing place with cafe life style, coast, moutains, tropical landscape.
A seaside stroll along Setaliste Pet Danica
SWFC_Fan Says: Setaliste Pet Danica is the pedestrianised seafront promenade that runs between the towns of Herceg Novi and Igalo.According to the guidebooks it is about 6km in length. However, the central part of the promenade, between the harbour at Herceg Novi and the beach at Igalo, is...
SWFC_Fan Says: Fortress Spanjola dates back to the 16th Century and is perhaps the best preserved (although certainly not the best kept!) of Herceg Novi's fortresses. As the name suggests, it was the Spaniards who began to build this fortress (in 1538), although it was the Turks who...
SWFC_Fan Says: Kanli Kula (which apparently translates as "Bloody Tower") is a ruined fortress and former prison built by the Turks in the 16th Century.We visited Kanli Kula on our first morning in Herceg Novi in May 2012. It is a fairly steep climb to the fortress from Stari Grad. From...

Jadran: Cafe, bar and restaurant by the marina
SWFC_Fan Says: My girlfriend and I visited the rather swanky looking marina venue of Jadran for drinks and desserts one evening during our stay in Herceg Novi in May 2012.Jadran bills itself as a cafe-club-restaurant-wine bar, offering something for everyone. It offers a number of outdoor...
Miramare Pizzeria, Herceg Novi: Pizza between the seafront and Stari Grad
SWFC_Fan Says: With us both having a craving for pizza one evening, my girlfriend and I ate at Miramare Pizzeria during our visit to Herceg Novi in May 2012.This small pizzeria is located at the foot of the steep steps that lead up to Trg Nikole Durkovica in the heart of Stari Grad....

Day trips to Trebinje, Bosnia-Herzegovina
SWFC_Fan Says: During our 5 day stay in Herceg Novi in May 2012, we undertook a day trip to the town of Trebinje in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina.Having ascertained that there were no buses between Herceg Novi and Trebinje, we popped into the "Trend Travel" tourist office at Herceg...
Buses between Herceg Novi and Kamenari
SWFC_Fan Says: There are frequent buses, operated by "Blueline", connecting the town of Herceg Novi with the ferry port at Kamenari.The ferry port at Kamenari is significant because the ferry that makes the short crossing from there to Lepetane cuts out the need to drive 30km+ around the...
Bus to Budva (via Kotor and Tivat)
SWFC_Fan Says: Prior to our visit to Montenegro in May 2012, I had difficulty in finding reliable bus timetables online.We were staying in Herceg Novi and planned to use the local buses to explore the other towns around the Bay of Kotor and further afield. I located an online timetable for...
Hotel Plaža in Herceg Novi is the perfect example of the old-Communist-Titist style hotel-resorts built in the 60/70s, boasting 3 or 4 stars but which haven't been refurbished since. The overall conditions of the resort are appalling but they still ask for the price of a luxury hotel. In addition to this, the manager is a natural robber! When we asked for the price of a room he said 33 euros per person in the so-called "renovated" part of the hotel and 20 euros in the "older" part. After having cheked both rooms we opted for the "old" one thinking that we could live without the new furniture and save a few bucks. The room was indeed really ***ty, with real mushrooms growing on the dirty oozing walls!!! But nevermind we thought, it's cheap! Well, it wasn't so cheap in the end: The next morning when we went to pay, the manager said with a smile on his face: It's 80 euros all together. WHAT !!!! But that's not what you said yesterday! He replied that our English was really bad because that's exactly what he said. He used the fact that we had to give him our passports to get the keys to bully us. So we had no choice but to pay! This left such a bitter taste in the mouth that the whole stay in Montenegro was spoiled and we went straight back to Croatia. At least there you pay for what you get.
The location is great, I cannot argue otherwise: right next to the beach. But the overall state of the hotel is not worth 3 stars in Europe. The food is very average and very greasy. If anyway you want to go to the Hotel Plaža in Herceg Novi, then: 1) Pay in advance so you don't get ripped off the next morning 2) DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PASSPORT TO THE RECEPTION!

Kerria Says: Csodálatosan felújított óvárosi rész Herceg Noviban, mindenképpen érdemes felkeresni. Gyönyörű kilátás a Kanli Kula-ból a tenger felé, ahol jelenleg szabadtéri színház is működik. A belépő fejenként 1 Euró volt, szerintem ennyit bőven megér! A...
