Nayino Resort Mamaia Nord

The coffee was good, the rooms were clean, and the service was fine. For the price, I thought it was a fair deal, and the hotel's small size has its own charm. A few things were less convenient: my room felt smaller than I expected, especially the shower, and reaching it meant going through two extra doors and over a step with my luggage. When I arrived in mid-April, the air conditioner wasn't working. I was too tired to mention it, and maybe the cool weather had something to do with it, but I still expected it to work. Breakfast wasn't a buffet. You choose from four options instead, and the portions were decent; I liked the food, though I usually prefer serving myself.

There’s plenty of free parking outside, or paid parking in the basement, and the beach is less than a five-minute walk away. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. We also liked the two cozy pools, one for adults and one for kids, plus the small playground by the pool. The views are pleasant both around the resort and beyond it, especially toward the sea. The restaurant serves good food, whether you’re after breakfast or dinner with family. We loved the place.

It felt like they’d thought of everything for a proper holiday. The sea is only a three-minute walk away, and at weekends there’s live music in the restaurant with a wonderful singer. Guests can use bicycles, hammocks, sun loungers, a children’s trampoline, and a kids’ room with activities for little ones through to adults. There’s also an outdoor pool with water accessories for children. Our room was excellent and regularly cleaned, the staff were polite, and breakfast had a good selection. Lunch and dinner menus were varied, and there was private covered parking too. The hotel exceeded my expectations.

We stayed here in summer 2018 and would go again. The hotel grounds were nice, and there were two small pools. The beach was pretty far away, and it was dusty once you left the hotel, though that wasn’t their fault. The staff were really nice: we arrived early with our baby boy, and they found us a room, which helped a lot. The rooms were clean and nice, the bathrooms decent, and they even helped with a child’s bed although I’d forgotten to mention we had a kid. Breakfast was good.
