This hotel is beautiful and the view of Sveti Stephan island is unparalleled. This hotel has all the fixings to be amazing but we are disappointed. My husband and I left Dubrovnik to come see Montenegro and the reviews of Villa Geba were so positive that we wanted to be sure to stay here. Check in was nice and we were greeted with champagne. We checked into our double room and thought it was nice but we would have rather paid the extra for a jr suite since our view is obstructed by an olive tree. There is also no shower, which is very strange. The bathroom amenities smelled old and there was a weird dark orange film around the opening of the products. We asked if we could pay extra to upgrade and they said we could the following day - but when we asked about it the next day, they said the room was booked. I don’t understand the miscommunication there but we are disappointed we couldn’t get a proper shower at a luxury hotel. The real kicker is that my husband was food poisoned at the restaurant. He ate the beef tartar and I did not and he woke up in the middle of the night, terribly sick. Moreover, at 3:30 - 5am, the TV kept turning on and off on its own. It sounds like the city was doing some electrical work that caused this but in short, I think it was one of the worst nights of sleep I’ve gotten in my life. The hotel staff provided my husband with some medicine and he is starting to feel better, but unfortunately, our only full day in Montenegro is lost. The sheets and bed are comfortable and if not for the food poisoning or the electrical issues, we probably would have slept well. The turn down service was very nice! Overall, I had really high expectations for Villa Geba based on the reviews I have read. I do think it’s a lovely hotel and the staff are all wonderful, but if I could plan this again, I’d stay at Villa Dubrovnik or a luxury hotel elsewhere to maximize the enjoyment of our vacation. I’m surprised the hotel has not done anything to make up for all of the issues we have had - my guess that it’s because we booked a special “spring rate”. Oh well!
