You're paying for the view
Pros:

Incredible location with most amazing views along the Montenegro coast, sunsets you'll never experience anywhere else in the world. Room was clean and balcony with gorgeous views. Good breakfast that was included in our package. Private beach access and sun beds with towels are included. Good walking distance to few beautiful restaurants around that have great views and priced well.

Cons:

Air conditioning system was extremely loud all night so we had no sleep for 3 nights and without fly screen you can't leave the doors open at night. We had huge hornet fly into our room the first night. Staff weren't accommodating to our request of the loud air conditioning. Size of the room is towards the smaller side, all our rooms at other hotels prior to this hotel were much bigger.
Restaurant is extremely expensive to dine in, gorgeous place but absolute rip off, 30 euro for salad.... breakfast was included in our package but the staff were not very pleasant to deal with. For the price of this hotel, there's no swimming pool or gym, you're just paying for the location. Cabanas on private beach for guests only is at extra cost 60 euro, another rip off. Beach bar is a rip off too kept playing same songs on repeat all day.

Самые приятные впечатления. Если отдыхать в Черногории, то только Свети Стефан отель Калифорния.
Pros:

Супер отель!!! Шикарный вид из номера на остров, отличный собственный пляж. Отличный завтрак, шведский стол с разнообразным выбором. Всему персоналу огромное спасибо!!! При заезде угостили приветственным напитком, доставили багаж в номер, припарковали автомобиль. Номер убирался ежедневно. Спасибо работникам рецепции, работникам пляжа, официантам, работникам клининга, парковщикам!!! Вы все супер!!! Ваш отель, действительно, заслуживает 5 звезд!!!

É cilada, bino
Pros:

Vista e localização surreais. Funcionários bem treinados, sorridentes e prestativos.

Cons:

Não se engane, esse não é um hotel 5 estrelas. É 3 estrelas com muito esforço. Nosso quarto era pequeno e tinha infiltrações nas paredes. O ar-condicionado era péssimo: mesmo no máximo à noite ele não conseguia baixar a temperatura para menos de 23 graus celsius. Fora isso, nosso banheiro constantemente ficava com cheiro de esgoto voltando do ralo. No mais, as instalações parecem ser antigas e não tão bem conservadas. O restaurante é excessivamente caro para o que entrega também. Aqui você paga pela vista, que de fato é fenomenal, mas só. Foi uma grande decepção na nossa lua de mel, pois esperávamos uma experiência 5 estrelas.

Cons:

On a few occasions no daily catch was available during lunch time, and restaurant menu wasn’t offering many sea food options, which should have be available considering that the location is next to the sea
