Aqua Club Elatis

The pool was clean, and the restaurant serves pizza. Kids can also see birds, including peacocks, in a separate area near the pool. It’s a good spot for a swim on a summer day, though the service could be better. Staff could set out the sunbeds in the morning.

The room was on the cheap side, so I’m not sure what else to expect for the price. Still, the place is lovely, with a nice pool area and good food, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodation itself is a bit shabby: we could hear the neighbors and traffic through closed windows, there was no AC, and a strong drain smell came in the morning. The TV was only a little bigger than my phone.

The pool is a decent size, but even on a very hot day the water felt a little too cold for the children. Sundays get very crowded, and the bathroom had no toilet paper all day. I also couldn't believe they don't accept credit cards, especially given the pandemic. It's a nice place otherwise.

This is about the pool area, not the hotel. I had a good time by the pool, but the restaurant was a different story. We waited a long time for food, which was okay once it arrived, though the price felt high for the taste. You can either stand in a line that takes around 30-60 minutes or sit at a table and wait for a rather arrogant man to take your order. I sat down and waited half an hour before asking a server, who told me that a man would come over. Another 40 minutes passed while he walked by my table, so eventually I went to him and insisted on placing the order. The entrance price is reasonable: 20 lei for adults, 15 lei for students and children, and free for ages 0-6. Sunbeds cost 10 lei to rent, and a large bed costs 50 lei. The pool is large, with a deep section, a smaller one, and a separate pool for children. The water was okay. The grounds have two sections, one cemented and one grassy, with room for everyone to sit where they like. It was very busy on Saturday, but the area is big enough to handle the crowd. The mountain view is amazing.
