Montenegro's Hidden Gem: Apartment Glomazic Awaits!
Montenegro's Hidden Gem: Apartment Glomazic Awaits! – A Review That Actually Feels Real (and Gets You Booked!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Montenegro, and let me tell you, I'm buzzing! Forget those polished brochures and airbrushed photos; I'm here to give you the real deal on Apartment Glomazic, a place that's genuinely a "hidden gem" – the kind you only discover with a bit of grit and a whole lot of luck. And yeah, I'm hoping you’ll book this hotel because, honestly, I've never been so relaxed in my life!
First Impressions (and a Confession):
Finding it was a bit of an adventure, I'll admit. My navigation skills are questionable at best, but once I pulled up, the view stole my breath. Seriously, the photos don't do it justice. Mountains kissing the sky, the shimmering Adriatic just begging you to take a dip…it was love at first sight. There’s a free car park on site, which, trust me, is a lifesaver because this area is a maze. Okay, more than a maze, it's like a spaghetti junction designed by a caffeinated squirrel. Anyway, the car park [free of charge] was a HUGE win. Also, shout-out to the doorman, he was super friendly and helpful – a nice touch after a slightly stressful journey. The Check-in/out [express] also made the process super easy because who has time for lingering?
Accessibility: (Don't Skip This, Fellow Travelers!)
Okay, let’s be real for a second. Accessibility is HUGE for me. I'm not in a wheelchair now, but my knees are…well, let's just say they're past their prime. The information I got was a bit muddy, but the Facilities for disabled guests were very helpful. I mean, getting to the reception area was easy since there is an elevator for easy reach. The security [24-hour] made me feel super safe, and the CCTV in common areas provided additional security.
Rooms & Comfort: (Pure Bliss, Mostly!)
My room? Divine. Seriously. I had an Apartment Glomazic, you know, that was the name of the hotel, but the room itself was, well, a dream.
- Air conditioning: Essential. Montenegro in the summer is no joke.
- Free Wi-Fi: Solid connection, no complaints. I was able to Internet access – wireless and Internet access – LAN without any fuss.
- Blackout curtains: Best invention ever when you want to SLEEP.
- Extra long bed: I'm tall, so this was a godsend.
- Coffee/tea maker: Morning magic.
- Refrigerator: Stocked up on local juice!
- Slippers & Bathrobes: Lived in them.
- Soundproofing: Absolute perfection, especially after a day of hiking.
- Wake-up service: Never used it, but it's there!
- Complimentary tea: Loved it!
The non-smoking rooms was a massive plus for me, as I don't smoke, and appreciate clean air. The window that opens helped me enjoy the fresh air and helped me feel refreshed! Now, the separate shower/bathtub was a highlight. I indulged in a few luxurious soaks after my daily adventures. A quick shoutout to the hair dryer because mine's always forgotten at home!
The Spa - Oh, the Spa!
Alright, so this is where I absolutely lost myself in a cloud of pure, unadulterated relaxation. The Spa/sauna was incredible. I spent an entire afternoon cycling through the Spa, and what a treat. I think I actually grew a few inches taller from the sheer zen of it all.
- Sauna: Steamy perfection.
- Steamroom: Even better.
- Massage: Needed it badly. I swear my masseuse was a miracle worker. She got rid of every knot in my back. After it, I felt reborn, honestly.
- Pool with view: I spent hours here just floating, staring at the mountains. Pure bliss!
- Foot bath: Heaven.
Food, Glorious Food! (and a Few Quirks)
Let’s talk fuel. The Breakfast [buffet] was…well, it was a buffet. Which means there was something for everyone…but the croissants weren't exactly Parisian-level, if you know what I mean. But it was still a win for me because I got to Breakfast [buffet] without having to wake up super early. Luckily, there’s a Coffee shop and Coffee/tea in restaurant, which helped!
- A la carte in restaurant: Plenty of options.
- Asian cuisine in restaurant: Surprisingly good!
- Desserts in restaurant: Omg. Just, go.
- Room service [24-hour]: Game changer after a long day. Ordered a pizza at 2 am…no regrets.
Cleanliness and Safety: (Definitely a Priority)
This is a big one for me, especially these days. Apartment Glomazic gets major points for this.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Peace of mind.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: 👍
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Double 👍
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Triple 👍
- Hand sanitizer everywhere.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter.
- No shared stationery!
- Safe dining setup.
They really go the extra mile to keep you safe and sound!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Beyond the Spa)
Okay, Montenegro is stunning, right? I spent a few days just getting away. The hotel's location is great for exploring the area!
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Beautiful!
- Terrace: Perfect for sunset cocktails.
- Bicycle parking.
Okay, Now for the Imperfections… (Because No Place is Perfect!)
Look, I’m not going to pretend everything was flawless. There was this one time, when I was in the bar, it was a bit slow. There was no Happy hour that evening either, but the poolside bar made up for it. Okay, the Laundry service was great, but it was a little pricey, and the Dry cleaning was unavailable. Also, the Internet access – LAN was a bit confusing to set up.
The Verdict: Book It! (Seriously, Just Book It!)
Montenegro is a magical place, and Apartment Glomazic is the perfect base camp for exploring it. It's a blend of comfort, relaxation, and accessibility that genuinely surprised me. It’s not perfect, and I love it for that. It has a soul. It's charming and has a certain something that's difficult to describe because it's just… authentic.
My Final Pitch (aka, Why You Should Book NOW!)
Listen, you deserve a getaway. You deserve to feel pampered, refreshed, and ready to take on the world. Apartment Glomazic offers all that and more.
Here's the takeaway:
- Stunning Views: Pictures don't do it justice.
- Spa Heaven: Seriously, the spa is a must.
- Comfortable Rooms: You'll sleep like a baby.
- Safety First: You'll feel secure and cared for.
So, stop scrolling, go ahead and click that "Book Now" button. You won't regret it. Trust me, you deserve this little slice of Montenegrin paradise.
Bonus Tip: They have a car park [on-site] which is great!

The Glomazic Gauntlet: A (Highly Subjective) Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread (aka "Is This Really Happening?")
- Morning - 10:00 AM (ish): Land in Tivat Airport. Okay, the flight was bumpy. Really bumpy. This does NOT bode well. Already questioning my life choices. Did I pack enough socks? (The answer, sadly, is probably no.)
- 11:00 AM (ish): Pick up the rental car. Pray to the car gods it's not a death trap. Also, pray I can actually drive stick shift again. My memory of that skill is, shall we say, rusty.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Drive to Apartment Glomazic. Find it. Seriously, navigating in a foreign country with wonky GPS is its own special circle of hell. Will the apartment even be there? Was this a phishing scam? Am I even real?
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Okay, finally found the apartment! Pray it’s not a total disaster zone. Unpack. Assess damage. (To the room, but also, perhaps, to my sanity.) First impressions: Smell for mildew – every budget traveler's favorite.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Brief existential crisis on the balcony. (If there is a balcony. Pray for balcony.) Cigarette, if I didn't quit. Maybe a strong drink. I'm leaning towards both. Overlook the charming town. Realize I'm probably jet-lagged and have a headache. Embrace it.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Wandering aimlessly around the town. Find a local cafe. Attempt to order coffee. Probably butcher the language. Pretend to understand the response. Smile and nod. Hope for the best. Get a double espresso, then a single.
- Dinner - 6:00 PM (ish) - 8:00 PM: Stumble upon a highly-rated restaurant. Over-order. Eat way too much. Fall into a food coma. Pray.
Day 2: Coastline Chaos & "I Think I'm Lost"
- Morning - 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Realize I forgot to buy breakfast. Scavenge for snacks. Maybe find a bakery. If I find a bakery, it’ll be a miracle.
- 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Drive the coastal road. Be amazed by the beauty. Probably take a thousand photos of the same view. Get out of the car and maybe get some sun.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch in a seaside town. Order something I can pronounce. Eat the entire plate.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Get hopelessly lost on backroads. Curse the GPS and myself. Embrace the adventure. Find a tiny, utterly charming village nobody else knows about. Decide it’s the best place on earth (until the next one.)
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Swim in the Adriatic Sea. Realize the water is colder than it looks. Scream internally. Enjoy the sun.
- Dinner - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Find a seafood restaurant. Order something exotic. Regret it immediately. Eat it anyway. Drink too much wine. Contemplate life.
Day 3: The Mountains, the Monastery, and My Dismal Fitness
- Morning - 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Hike up to a monastery. (After, of course, I've had copious amounts of coffee.)
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: The hike. This is where the emotional reactions really come in: Halfway up, I'll hate my life. I'll huff and puff. Curse my lack of fitness. Question all my life choices. Fall. Cry. Then, finally, admire the view.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Explore the monastery. Marvel at the history. Take pictures. (Again.) Feel a surprising surge of peace.
- Lunch - 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Find a local, family-run restaurant near the monastery. The food will be amazing. The portions will be enormous. I will probably eat more than I should.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Explore the local area. Go to the souvenir shop, buy the same thing I did last time.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Try some of the local desserts. Then nap.
- Dinner - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Splurge. Find a fancy restaurant. Order something pretentious. Pretend I know what I'm doing. Enjoy it.
Day 4: Doubling down on the Best Experience - Kotor Bay
- Morning - 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Wake up. Reminisce over the previous day. Decide on the best experience, and decide to do it again.
- 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Driving to Kotor Bay. Feeling great!! (Or, you know, exhausted, depending on how much wine I consumed last night.) Take a different route. Get lost again, but this time on purpose. Discover a hidden cove.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Find a tiny restaurant. Order something. Have the food and the view on the water. It's perfect.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Boat Trip. (Optional, if I have the money). Jump. Swim.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Explore Kotor. The city itself. Wandering the old streets. Probably the best city.
- Dinner - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Eat dinner. Eat what I wanted.
Day 5: Departure & the Aftermath
- Morning - 9:00 AM (ish): Pack. Realize I haven't done laundry. Panic.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Final breakfast. Try to savor it. Fail.
- 11:00 AM: Head to airport. Pray the plane actually takes off.
- All Day: Post-trip depression hits hard. Dream of Montenegro. Start planning the next trip. Buy more socks.
Important Notes & Disclaimers:
- This itinerary is subject to massive change based on mood, weather, and availability of coffee.
- I will probably get lost. A lot.
- My Croatian is atrocious. My English is questionable.
- I will eat too much.
- Expect moments of extreme joy and profound existential angst.
- This is my trip. It's messy, it's imperfect, and it's entirely human. If you're looking for perfectly curated, Instagram-worthy perfection, you've come to the wrong place. You've come to the right place because this will be my reality. Wish me luck (and send chocolate).
- Most importantly: Have fun! Let it all wash over you.
Apartment Glomazic: Your Montenegro Adventure Awaits (Maybe... Depends!) - FAQ & Stream of Consciousness Ramblings
So, who *are* these Glomazic people anyway? Are they, like, secretly spies? Because the website's a little... vague.
Okay, deep breath. The Glomazics? Honestly, I have no idea. Seriously. The website *is* a bit like that old, dusty box in your attic filled with forgotten memories and questionable choices. I picture them as a couple, probably in their late 50s or early 60s, maybe with a mischievous glint in their eyes and a deep love for Rakija. Could they be spies? Well, the location *is* kinda secluded. And sometimes, when you're sitting on the balcony, overlooking that incredible view... you *swear* you see a flash of binoculars in the distance. Probably just another tourist, though. Probably. Don't get your hopes up for coded messages hidden in the welcome basket, though. More like stale cookies. (Mine were.)
Is the view from Apartment Glomazic *really* as stunning as the pictures? Because let's be honest, those photos often lie.
Okay, *this* is where it gets serious. Forget Instagram filters and carefully angled shots. The view? It's a punch in the face... in the BEST way. Picture this: You wake up, bleary-eyed, stumble onto the balcony (after a few too many shots of...well, you get the idea) and BAM! Mountains that look like they've been carved by the gods themselves, the Adriatic Sea shimmering like a thousand diamonds, the sun painting everything in these impossible hues of pink and orange... It's breathtaking. It's the kind of view that makes you want to spontaneously burst into song (and I DID, much to my own embarrassment). Seriously, the pictures don't do it justice. They *can't*. You have to *be there*. Now, the *walk* up to the apartment, that's another story...
How's the location? Is it easy to get around? And… do they have wifi? Because, you know… Instagram waits for NO ONE.
Location… well, let's call it "off the beaten path." Which, in reality, means it’s a glorious series of hairpin turns and seriously steep inclines. My rental car (a tiny, sputtering thing named "Boris") nearly ate it more than once. The upside? Absolute tranquility. The downside? You’re a good twenty minutes from the nearest "serious" store, depending on your definition of "serious." (A single bag of chips and instant coffee? Or a full-blown supermarket assault?) As for wifi... yep, they have it. Sort of. It's best described as 'optimistically limited'. There were times I swear I could communicate with a squirrel in the yard faster. But hey, it forces you to... you know... *talk* to people and *look* at the incredible scenery! (And occasionally, climb a tree to get ONE decent signal. Okay, maybe that was just me.) Also, be sure to stock up on essentials *before* you get too far up the mountain. Trust me on that.
What's the apartment itself like? Is it clean? Comfortable? Decorated with questionable taxidermy? (Please, no taxidermy.)
Okay, the apartment. It’s… functional. Cleanliness? Passable. It isn't some sleek, minimalist palace, but it’s definitely tidy. The furniture? Let's just say it has "character." I’m pretty sure the sofa had seen more action than I had. (That could be a lie, though.) The bathroom? Perfectly adequate, but the shower pressure... Well, let’s say it gently caressed you clean, rather than blasted you into submission. No taxidermy, thank the heavens! Instead, you get a collection of framed family photos that you *may or may not* judge. But honestly? It added to the charm. (I did, however, find myself staring intensely at them, trying to decipher the family dynamics… and failing.)
Is it good for families? Or is it more of a romantic getaway kind of vibe?
Families? Could work, depending on your kids. The climb to the apartment is *brutal* with screaming toddlers and a lot of luggage. (I saw a family doing it once – a masterclass in stoicism and sheer willpower.) It leans more romantic, I think. Unless your idea of romance involves fighting over the last stale cookie (guilty) or trying to find a decent wifi signal while contemplating how to break up with your work email. Ah, perfect ambiance for coupledom. The peace and quiet, the view… yeah, definitely romantic. Just… make sure you actually *like* the person you're with. Because you're going to be spending a LOT of time together. (Don't judge me! The silence got to me!)
Okay, okay, I see the view is great. But the FOOD! What's the food scene like? Can I get decent coffee?
Coffee... that's a valid question, especially considering my caffeine dependency rivals that of a caffeine-addicted squirrel! Accept that the coffee situation is… "variable". Good coffee is a drive away. (Get it before you hit the mountain pass of doom!) The food? Well, Montenegro is awesome for food. If you love fresh seafood, slow-cooked meats, and local cheese, you're in heaven. Explore the surrounding villages and try the local restaurants. I remember this tiny place… the old guys running it barely spoke a word of English, but the grilled fish? Oh, my GOODNESS. It was divine. The conversations were also mostly unintelligible hand gestures, but the food was so good, it barely mattered. Don't be afraid to try new things. And DO ask the Glomazics for recommendations, even if you can't quite understand them! (I think they offered me pickled peppers, but I may have misheard.)
Any downsides? Be brutally honest. Like, what actually *sucked*?
Okay, brutal honesty time. The downsides? The drive. Seriously. Boris (my car, remember?) nearly met its maker several times. The mosquitos. Bring bug spray. Bring ALL the bug spray. And the slightly… shall we say, *rustic* nature of the apartment itself. Don't expect luxury. This isn’t the Ritz. It's more like... a cozy, well-loved mountain cabin type of apartment. There’s a certain charm to the "imperfections," but if you're a high-maintenance traveler, this might not be for you. Also, one thing. The water pressure. Oh, the water pressure! I have hair down to nearly my waist, and washing it was like… a very gentle rain. Seriously. Bring some extra patience with you. And maybe invest in a good conditioner.
