Petrovac Paradise: Jovanovic Apartments Await!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the glorious, messy, and hopefully, not-too-dramatic world of Petrovac Paradise: Jovanovic Apartments Await! This isn't your usual, sterile hotel review. Prepare for the truth…and maybe a few tangents. 🤪
Petrovac Paradise: Jovanovic Apartments Await! - My Honest (and Slightly Chaotic) Review
Alright, let's get this show on the digital road. First, the name itself – "Petrovac Paradise." Bold. A little… much, perhaps? But hey, in the Adriatic, ambition is half the battle, right? And those Jovanovic Apartments… they’re promising. So, let's find out if they actually deliver on paradise, or if it's just a clever marketing ploy.
First Impressions: The "Getting There" Game & Accessibility (Slightly Messy Start!)
Okay, so getting there. That’s always part of the dance, isn’t it? Airport transfer is a huge plus. Absolutely HUGE. Especially after a flight. I hate haggling for taxis after a long haul! So, a big, fat checkmark for Airport Transfer and Taxi service.
Now, accessibility. This is crucial. And to be honest, it's where things get a little… murkier. The website mentions it. But I need details. I'm guessing a few things. The Elevator is essential. I wouldn't be able to handle climbing stairs, especially if the bags are heavy. Facilities for disabled guests needs clarifying. Is it ramps? Accessible rooms? Detailed information is needed. This is a major area. I'm hoping the Jovanovics have thought about this, because inclusivity is NOT just a buzzword.
Rooms: The Sanctuary (Or Not!)
Alright, let's talk about the actual digs. Available in all rooms, we’ve got… a LOT. Air conditioning? YES, PLEASE. Alarm clock? Necessary. Bathroom phone? Hmm, is that still a thing? 🤣 Bathrobes? Luxury! Bathtub? Alright, alright, I'm starting to see some paradise potential here. Blackout curtains? BLESS YOU, Jovanovics. I need those to survive the Albanian sun! Carpeting… I'm a little iffy. I prefer tiled flooring for hygiene reasons. That’s just me though. Closet, Coffee/Tea Maker… essential. And Free Bottled Water? Score! Little things make a big difference.
The desk, extra-long bed (very important if you're tall, which, sadly, I am not), in-room safe box, internet access – wireless - all good stuff. And, importantly, a window that opens! Fresh air is a lifesaver, especially if you've used the coffee/tea maker incessantly. I am a huge Non-smoker so the Non-smoking rooms are a HUGE plus.
I'm intrigued by the Interconnecting room(s) available. Very interesting! Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror… It's definitely shaping up to be a well-equipped space.
The "Things To Do" & "Ways to Relax" Extravaganza! (Did my shoulders just unclench??)
Alright, let's get to the fun stuff. This is where "Paradise" is really tested.
- The Spa… and the Sauna… and the Steamroom!!! Okay, deep breaths. They have a Spa! And a Sauna! And a Steamroom! My shoulders are already unclenching. I can practically smell the eucalyptus. My brain is instantly moving to the Body scrub and Body wrap, and Massage. Spa/Sauna? Pool with a view? I'm in heaven. Well, potentially.
- The Fitness Center/Gym: Okay, being real, I probably won’t use it. But it's there, and it's a nice option.
- The Pool: A Swimming pool and a Swimming pool [outdoor]? Excellent. Crucial for a beach vacation.
- Foot bath: Okay, now you've got my attention. That just sounds delightful.
Dining, Drinking, And Snacking: Fueling the Paradise (and My Stomach!)
- Restaurants, restaurants, restaurants! I have to know about the food. The Restaurants listed are my favorite, but A la carte in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, and Soup in restaurant. Are there Vegetarian options? (Important!) Is there a Western breakfast?.
- Room Service: A 24-hour room service is always a win.
- Bar and Bottle of water: This is a necessity.
Cleanliness & Safety: The New Normal (Important!)
This is where things get serious. In today's world, cleanliness and safety are paramount. Seeing Anti-viral cleaning products, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, and Sterilizing equipment are all AMAZING news. The Room sanitization opt-out available is also thoughtful.
Services and Conveniences: Beyond the Basics (The Good Stuff!)
- The Extras: Air conditioning in public area, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, and Meeting/banquet facilities.
- Meeting/Events: I'm not likely to use Meetings/banquets or Audio-visual equipment for special events, but it's good to know they're there.
For The Kids & Family Friendly: A Family Paradise?
- Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal are also nice.
Security, Safety & Getting Around!
Okay, I can always appreciate a safe place. CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, and Soundproof rooms are all welcome additions.
Quirky Observations & Tangents (Because Why Not?)
- The "Proposal Spot": Okay, this is interesting. They're marketing as a proposal spot? That feels… specific. Are they good at it? Do they have a secret little heart-shaped clearing with fairy lights? I NEED TO KNOW.
- Shrine: I’m intrigued. But it’s a little bit of a mystery, so I need a little more information.
My Opinion: The Verdict? (So Far…)
Petrovac Paradise: Jovanovic Apartments Await! is promising. It sounds like they’ve really thought of everything. The emphasis on cleanliness and safety is fantastic. The potential for relaxation is HIGH. The dining options seem plentiful. The "getting there" and accessibility aspects need clarification.

Alright
Bali Bliss: Your Luxurious 1BR Haven (ZN72A) Awaits!Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is my messy, glorious, probably-slightly-hungover attempt to conquer Petrovac na Moru in Montenegro, all based around the lovely (hopefully) Apartmani Jovanovic. Prepare for feels, folks.
Itinerary: Petrovac Palooza (Aka, My Attempt at Chill)
Day 1: Arrival & Adriatic Awakening (Plus, Mild Panic)
- Morning (Around 10 am… ish): Land at Tivat Airport. Pray to the travel gods my luggage actually makes it this time. Last time I ended up in Dublin with nothing but a toothbrush and a very judging look from a baggage handler.
- Transportation: Pre-booked transfer with a driver who hopefully speaks some English. Thinking of bringing snacks, just in case. You NEVER know.
- Midday (Around 1 pm… hopefully): Arrive at Apartmani Jovanovic. Okay, let's be honest, first impression is EVERYTHING. If the balcony view is as good as the pictures, I'm sold. If not… well, I'll have to improvise. Maybe a strategically placed seagull…
- Afternoon (2 pm -ish): Unpack. Immediately attempt to find the secret stash of snacks I hid in my suitcase. Fail miserably because I forgot where I put them. Commence mild internal screaming.
- Afternoon (3 pm - 4 pm): Okay, okay, chill. Time for a walk around Petrovac. Find the beach. Gasp. Soak it in. Take about 50 pictures. Feel the salty breeze and swear I'm finally, truly relaxed.
- Evening (6 pm - 7 pm): Sunset stroll along the promenade. Find a restaurant with a lively atmosphere where I can possibly witness myself having a drink. I hear the seafood is divine. Attempt to order something without looking like a complete idiot. Probably fail.
- Evening (7:30-9 pm): Dinner! Seriously, can we talk about this seafood? I'm envisioning grilled fish, the freshest catch of the day, maybe some local wine… And maybe, just maybe, I'll try to order in Montenegrin. Wish me luck. (Spoiler alert: I'll likely say the wrong thing, but at least I'll try!)
- Night (9pm onward): Post-dinner walk on the beach. Stargazing (hopefully, if there aren't too many streetlights). Then back to the apartment, fall into bed immediately, and pass out from all the excitement (and wine).
Day 2: Sun, Sand, & (Potentially) Sea Sickness
- Morning (8 am… maybe? Depends on the hangover): Wake up, stare at the view from the balcony. Be grateful for my life. (Or, and this is a real possibility, stumble blearily out of bed after hitting snooze 5 times.)
- Morning (9 am): Breakfast (if I remembered to buy any). If not, it's instant coffee and the existential dread of not having coffee.
- Morning/Afternoon (10 am-2 pm): Beach day! Slather on sunscreen like my life depends on it. (It kinda does). Attempt to find a beach chair without looking like a helpless tourist. I have a deep fear of sunburn, so this is a life or death situation.
- Afternoon (2 pm): Lunch at a beachside cafe. Order something simple. Drink something cold. Watch the waves. Feel the sun on my skin. (Trying to embrace that "chill" thing.)
- Afternoon (3-5 pm): Boat trip! There's a boat trip to the nearby islands, Sveti Stefan, or maybe even some secret hidden coves. I'm slightly terrified of getting seasick, so this could be a fun adventure or a complete disaster. Keep the seasickness pills handy… Pray to Neptune or Poseidon, whoever's in charge.
- Evening (6 - 8 pm): Back at the apartment, shower. Maybe a nap. Or maybe a pre-dinner drink. The possibilities are endless.
- Evening (8 pm onward): Dinner? Maybe try a different restaurant? Or maybe just cook something simple at the apartment - maybe if I can get enough groceries. See how far I'm out of my comfort zone. Maybe make dinner with some local produce.
Day 3: History, Headaches, & Hidden Gems
- Morning (9 am… maybe?): Start off with a coffee. Realize I didn't sleep well.
- Morning (10 am-12 pm): Explore the old town! I've heard Petrovac has a rich history, complete with a Venetian fort. Wander through the narrow streets. I'm a sucker for history. I'm also a sucker for cute old buildings, so I'm sure I'll have a blast.
- Afternoon (12 - 2 pm): A light lunch. Maybe grab a sandwich from a local bakery.
- Afternoon (2 pm): Find that hidden restaurant that everyone raves about.
- Afternoon (3 pm): Maybe try the hike to the fortress? My fitness is… a work in progress. But the views are supposed to be amazing. It's fine, I am totally fine.
- Evening (6 pm): Go for a walk, grab some dinner.
- Evening (8 pm - onward): Time to try something different.
- Late Evening: Try a fancy cocktail.
- Night: Sleep
Day 4: The Great Escape (Or, Leaving with a Full Heart)
- Morning (9 am -… whenever): Pack. Sigh. Reflect on the incredible time I had.
- Morning (10 am - noon): One last stroll along the beach. Feel that sand between my toes. Take a deep breath and promise myself to come back.
- Afternoon (Noonish): Last lunch in Petrovac. Savor every bite. Decide I'm going to miss this place.
- Afternoon (1 pm): Say goodbye to Apartmani Jovanovic. Thank the gods for a great view and a comfortable stay.
- Afternoon (2 pm): Transfer to Tivat Airport. More snacks for the plane journey in case of delayed flights.
- Evening (5 pm - onward): Take off from Tivat. Look back at the coastline. Feel slightly teary-eyed. Start planning my return trip.
Final Thoughts (and a Plea for Forgiveness):
This is just a guide. I fully expect things to go sideways. I'll probably get lost, say something embarrassing, accidentally order something I can't eat, or spend the entire time looking for a decent cup of coffee. But that's okay! That's part of the adventure. The important thing is to soak it all in, embrace the chaos, and remember that even the most meticulously planned trip is always better with a little bit of spontaneity (and maybe a lot of wine). Please forgive any typos, rambles, or moments of outright ridiculousness. I'm just a human trying to have an amazing time. Wish me luck! And maybe send help if I run out of snacks.
