Iberostar Slavija Hotel in Budva

Just arrived home from a fantastic stay at this hotel, would definitely revisit and recommend! Whilst we were initially disappointed to hear the rooftop pool was "seasonal" so therefore not open, Đorđe the guest relations manager was fantastic and made sure our thoughts were heard and went out of his way to improve our stay.

Other than that the hotel is fantastic, staff were nice and the check in and check out was smooth. Free parking available on site. Location was great, short walk to the beach and to the old town. We visited in the "off season" which we were quite pleased about as we've heard it's very busy and borderline chaotic on the peak season. The price was reasonable and food was decent.

Only things that would've made it even better would've been proper coffee from a barista machine at breakfast and some sun loungers on the rooftop.

Our stay at Iberostar Waves Slavija turned out to be one of the most pleasant hotel experiences we have had in recent years, and much of that comes down to the people who work at the front desk. Jelena, Ljubica, Suzana, Igor, Milos and Petar made every interaction feel effortless and sincere. There is something reassuring about walking into a lobby and being greeted by a team that not only recognises you, but meets you with warmth and genuine attentiveness.

They listened carefully whenever we needed help and responded immediately, sometimes even before we finished explaining what we needed. Travelling with a child brings small challenges here and there, yet the staff handled everything with an easy confidence that made us feel completely at ease. It is rare these days to find a hotel where service feels natural rather than rehearsed, and I truly appreciated that.

One thoughtful detail that stood out to us was the availability of complimentary drinking water. It is a small thing on paper, yet in practice it made an enormous difference. With a child, avoiding repeated trips to supermarkets for bottled water is a real blessing, and it reflected a kind of practical kindness that we do not take for granted.

Whenever something needed attention, it was resolved without delay, and always with a calm and friendly attitude. It reminded me once again that a hotel is ultimately defined by its people. Facilities matter, but the service leaves the lasting impression. In that regard, this hotel excels.

The breakfast was excellent each morning, with a generous spread and a team that worked quietly and gracefully to keep everything running smoothly. It created a relaxed start to the day, which we appreciated.

We leave Budva with gratitude for the comfort and care we received here. Iberostar Waves Slavija is a lovely hotel in a beautiful location, but its real strength lies in the people who welcome you each day. We will remember that, and we would gladly return.

From planning this trip, I knew this hotel would meet all my expectations — and it truly did! Before arrival, I contacted the staff about room upgrades, and communication was smooth and friendly. On arrival, Jelena and Suzana greeted us with bubbles and a surprise upgrade to premium sea-view rooms — such a lovely welcome!

The room was spotless and cleaned daily. The infinity pool was stunning with breathtaking views, and breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice.

Definitely visit the Santis Club Spa — Ali was so welcoming and offered a great deal, and Mzia, the massage therapist, was incredible. I was so relaxed I fell asleep!

We were even invited to the end-of-season staff party — live music, great food, and dancing the night away. The whole team went above and beyond with local tips and restaurant recommendations.

Beautiful hotel, perfect location, amazing staff — I can’t fault a thing and highly recommend it!

Impressed from the moment we arrived.
The receptionist realised we were early , Susanah, I believe was the name.
Settled our cases , sat us down , had the bar bring us a drink and went to check our rooms.
All well.
The hotel was spotlessly clean.
Reception always helpful.
Breakfast was good with plenty of choice .
Roof top pool and restaurant a nice extra.
A nice stroll into the old town , but inexpensive bus stops outside.
I do believe this hotel recognises the opposition and will carry on improving.

Ali, Faruk, and Zia gave me and my girlfriend a 5 star spa experience today. We got the medical massages done for 115€. Worth every penny. The Turkish bath, massage and hot tea with a view combination was the perfect fix for us weary travelers. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic experience in the area. Well done!

This is day one of our trip and this has blown our expectations out of the water. From the extremely generous, thoughtful and kind staff, to the breathtaking infinity pool and patio views from the top balcony. This is the place to be in Budva. I asked them to make my anniversary special and they 100% did. Thank you Iberostar Waves Slavija!

This is a really lovely hotel which I can't fault in any way. Our room was lovely as were all the staff. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. The rooftop sun terrace and pool together with restaurant and bar were fantastic. As for the location, a short walk through a pedestrian area to the nearest beach and about 20 minutes to the old town. We had a great stay and would recommend this hotel.

The hotel had very good service and nice facilities. Even though the breakfast officially started 7:30 am, we were able to get breakfast before that at the day of departure and on excursion days. The spa treatment with hamam can be recommended as well.

Best hotel we've ever stayed in!
Rooms were great, staff were amazing, above and beyond in all areas; maids, chefs, waiting staff, bar staff and reception!
Facilities were top drawer too and the location is great... we did B&B and the breakfast was brilliant, quality ingredients with lots of variety of food. We had lunch there a couple of times on the top floor by the infinity pool... lovely!
Highly recommend this hotel.

Food was very nice, chefs were careful about our allergies special thanks to Luca!
Spa area is amazing, sauna, steam room and Turkish bathroom, staff in spa area were very friendly.
The gym has a benching seat and a few dumbells and a treadmill, it is small but I managed a workout. Maybe add heavier dumbbells for the people who like to lift.
Room service lady was very friendly and did her best.

Would visit again

The hotel is located in the center of Budva, a five-minute drive from Old Town. There are basic restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The hotel has a basement parking lot. There is a swimming pool and bar restaurant on the rooftop. The view is great.

You can also use the spa and gym on the 7th floor if you have time. The staff is very friendly.

The room is better than the photo. It feels more comfortable. The balcony is spacious and has an unbeatable sea view.

The only drawback is that it is close to the beach club. The music may be louder at night. The traffic noise is also louder because it is on the main road.
