Lazure Hotel and Marina

Carly E7 months ago

We have just recently returned from a 7 night stay at the beautiful Lazure Hotel and Marina - as another reviewer stated; wishing we had booked for 2 weeks instead! I have to say that Montenegro is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever visited and Lazure have created an idyllic and stunning setting.||The Hotel|The hotel consists of several different buildings all of which are light and airy. The new building which has 4 floors contains the breakfast room and the Baguettia restaurant alongside it. The historical building which contains Roccos bar and both Augusto/Rosemarine restaurants and the spa building which contains the indoor pool. These buildings are all beautifully put together and connected by very well maintained garden areas that all face on to the stunning marina and beach/bay.||Our Room|We booked and paid extra for a sea view room with balcony and stayed in room 407, this was on the highest level which gave optimum, beautiful views across the marina and bay and dawn until dusk sunshine onto our balcony. A lovely spacious room, light decor with several lamp options, a HUGE comfortable bed, stylish furniture and cushions. Very generous storage space/options, a safe, mini bar fridge, coffee machine, kettle/complimentary drinks. Large bathroom with walk in, waterfall shower, complimentary quality products (shampoo conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, soap etc) plenty of towels, slippers, robes and hairdryer.|Our room was beautifully maintained by the housekeeping team who kept us well stocked and were so unobtrusive we very rarely saw them!||Breakfast|The breakfast room is spacious with plenty of different seating options, including a sunny outdoor terrace. Greated warmly by the lovely Ana who deserves every mention she gets within these reviews, professional but yet personable and takes great care of both the facilities and guests. The options for breakfast are vast, even past the realms you would expect for breakfast - if you can't find something here then I would be very surprised! The 1st counter contains tea/coffee/juice options (although the staff will come to take your specific tea/coffee/fresh juice order as well as fried/poached eggs and omelettes) various yogurt options without a plastic pot in sight, honey, compots, chia pudding, bircher muesli, fresh fruit, flavoured milk and a selection of cheeses. 2nd cold counter opposite contains various different types of salads, dips and cold meats (including a non pork plate) The hot counter has delicious scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, toast/bread and various different daily hot breakfast options. The final counter has fresh bread and rolls, various pastries, cereal, nuts/seeds/dried fruit, biscuits, cookies, muffins and a vast selection of stunning cakes. I'm sure there is more to mention but ultimately an overwhelming choice!||The Restaurants|I have reviewed the restaurants separately and individually but I have to say that the standard of food is extremely high, presentation faultless and service professional but informative and friendly. Lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the marina. Special mentions to Dragan and Uros for their help and recommendations. Baguettia was a more relaxed affair and we enjoyed grazing their food whilst enjoying a glass or 2 of wine (they also offered fresh bread and pastries daily)||Roccos Bar|This is situated within the historical building, off of the lobby with is light and airy and gives several comfortable seating options. Once inside the bar area, demurely lit by various lamps and candles with comfortable chairs/sofa areas it makes a wonderful ambiance for pre/post dinner drinks. Extensive cocktail/wine/spirit/cigar list, our cocktails were beautiful and of high quality - special mention to Vladimir who was really helpful with his recommendations and translating flavours, was very kind yet professional, thank you. ||The Spa|This was such a treat to have unlimited access to throughout our stay. Towels and robes etc are available as you arrive through reception. We both had massages and facials during our week and the girls really took care of us, provided us a fantastic service, was a lovely relaxing treat! Once in the spa there are immaculate changing/toilet facilities, the staff here really do go above and beyond to keep the standard so high. Large indoor pool surrounded by folding doors and loungers, complimentary tea/coffee/water available all day, we were told that on the 2nd floor there was a Gym but we didn't venture up there! Below the pool area was an extensive collection of self contained spa areas including; steam room, salt room, sauna, bio sauna, hammam, tepidarium, hot tub and jacuzzi bath - plus different shower cubicle and cold water facilities. This was a stunning facility to relax and unwind in, a lovely addition to our holiday.||The Beach|As stated in previous reviews this is a pebble beach so we took along our beach shoes - there were others braving it without but I feel they must have special super powers as I still struggled a little even with shoes on! That said it is a lovely beach area with plenty of loungers and tilting brolleys to choose from in a large area. The sea was crystal clear, calm and lovely to swim in with a vast sectioned off area to protect guests from water traffic using the bay. There was a really lovely looking beach bar, with comfortable covered area but unfortunately it had already closed before we arrived due to coming to the end of the season, which was a shame but normal procedure for the time of year.||Overall I cannot recommend this hotel enough, it was such a relaxing holiday if, like us, you just wanted to stay local, wine & dine and relax. There was also a vast amount of other exploratory options, both land and sea experiences available and bookable within the hotel. Car hire is available via the hotel and also from other places within a short walk from the hotel. The surrounding area also included several supermarket options (with cash machine) a pharmacy, bakery offering fantastic fayre, plus several bar/restaurant options which cater for all levels of budgets and tastes. You will not be disappointed if you decide to book here, the staff are wonderful and will ensure that your stay is memorable. We will certainly be back!! Thank you Lazure!!
