Hotel Del Mar Mamaia

I traveled with my husband and 2 year old. I am romanian so for me it was going back home. The hotel was lovely. All staff was very polite, friendly and eager to help out with any issues. We found the pool area very nice and cozy for youngsters. There is a playground area adjacent to a shallow pool. There is a pool for adults too which we enjoyed very much. The bar prices for drinks are pretty steep. But then overall, traveling back to a childhood memory was very steep. The entire experience in Mamaia was overpriced. What i didnt like was that the hotel advertises a private beach, however we were expected to pay to stay near the water. Being just 2 adults and a child, experiencing the water moments together was a challenge, as you don't want to leave your belongings unattended. If you travel with kids, bring rubber/water shoes. The beach is "saulty" with shells and other unsanitary things. The water is beautiful, shallow, some algae but not bothering. We could hear music and a lot of street sound from our balcony, but we enjoyed it very much. Couple extra nice features, the Gondola starts/ends within a 5 minute walk. And same with Aqua Magic. A walk away and its great for family fun

Food was just ok

Hotel is nice. Parking is bad. The guard at to let you into the hotel parking lot is never there.Had to wait for him to let you in or out. Hotel is located into a complicated scheme of small narrow streets and is hard to get to it by car or park your car in the front door to check in.Front desk polite but not very friendly. No valet service. Breakfast very good. Restarant waiters polite but not friendly. Dinner was good. Very expensive hotel. I feel that you don't get what you paid for especially for what they have to offer. Overated. !!!

This was my second stay at this hotel and I will stay there again on my next trip. The hotel is virtually although not directly on the beach - maybe 100m. It is not directly on the main street of Mamia and this is very nice. The rooms are large and spacious. I have stayed in one of their suites and paid less than or close to the amount I would pay for a regular room elsewhere. I had a small problem with my reservation this time - the room I had requested was not available until the next day. They put me in a comparable room and promptly moved me the next morning. Staff is friendly and courteous. Parking is a dream. I have no comment on the restaurant I did not eat there. POSSIBLE MAJOR NEGATIVE - Although I did not experience it, the fine print states that only registered guests are allowed in the room. I had 3 different friends come by during my 4 day stay and we always went to my room. If I had not been allowed to invite them to my room I would have checked out immediately and would never go back. The reason I always take a suite is so that I will have a place to receive and entertain guests. I only saw this fine print about 5 mins before writing this review.
