Unbelievable Mamaia Luxury: Miramare Alezzi Apartment Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the shimmering, sun-drenched world of Unbelievable Mamaia Luxury: Miramare Alezzi Apartment Awaits! And trust me, after spending a week there (a very chaotic, yet delightful week), I'm teeming with opinions, anecdotes, and enough lukewarm coffee to fuel a small nation. Let's get this show on the road before I lose my train of thought entirely. (Which, honestly, is a distinct possibility.)
First, the Basics (But Not Really):
Okay, so this place is in Mamaia, Romania. Picture a strip of beach, all the glitz and glamour of a not-quite-Vegas but still pretty damn flashy resort town. Accessibility: Let's address the elephant in the room – or, rather, the potential wheelchair user. Accessibility is a mixed bag. The website says "Facilities for disabled guests," but honestly? I didn't see a TON of obvious ramps and whatnot. I'd recommend calling ahead and grilling them about specifics if you're seriously considering this with accessibility in mind. That's my official word.
Okay, Onward to the Good Stuff…or at Least, The Stuff That's There:
Rooms (The Apartment Life):
My jaw, it dropped. Truly. I'm talking "Unbelievable" like the name suggests. The Wi-Fi is free and it's in every damn room, the Internet even has a LAN connection (for those who still know what that is - me!) and it was strong enough to finally make the video calls with my mother bearable.
My room had air conditioning (a GODSEND, let me tell you), a kitchenette (perfect for those late-night snack attacks), and a balcony that offered this stunning view over the pool. Speaking of, I’m guessing I need to be a bit more formal but I couldn’t help myself, it felt like I was in a movie. Okay, okay, back to the room. The bed was HUGE. Seriously, I could have hosted a small rave on that thing. They had bathrobes and slippers (heavenly). The bathroom was massive and they even had complimentary toiletries that, I kid you not, actually smelled good. And the thing about the Blackout curtains? They were the saviour of my sleep, I can't even try to explain how good they are for a light sleeper. They’re perfect, I just want to say.
And, oh, the noise insulation - Soundproof rooms alert!
I loved the extra touches: the safe box, the mini-bar. The little coffee/tea maker was a life-saver for a morning person like me! And the extra long bed? Glorious for a big guy such as myself. The reading light was perfect for night time relaxation.
Food Glorious Food (Dining, Drinking & Snacking):
Right, the food. Okay, this is where things get a little… complicated. There were restaurants. Plural! And even a poolside bar. I'm a sucker for a pool-side bar… But it's a little disorganized, to be honest. The Breakfast [buffet] was, um, let's say "European-style," which is code for "a lot of carbs and not enough bacon." (This might be a personal bias). They also had options like Asian breakfast. I didn't try it. Lunch and dinner are where it gets interesting. There were restaurants with a la carte menus, international cuisine (they had a decent pizza, I'm not gonna lie), and even a vegetarian restaurant. I ate a lot of carbs, but what more can you expect! There was something for everyone. Oh, also the snack bar with coffee/tea available.
Relaxation Station (Ways to Relax):
Now, THIS is where Miramare Alezzi truly shines. The swimming pool is beautiful, and yes, there's a pool with a view! They also had a Spa/sauna, a steamroom (I spent a small eternity in it, bliss), and a fitness center (which I meant to use, but, you know, pool bar…). Massages were available (and highly recommended), and they even offered body scrubs and body wraps, if you're into that kinda thing. I wasn't. But sure seemed fun.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because We Gotta):
Okay, safety is paramount, and this place seems to understand that - more or less. They've got hand sanitizer. Staff trained in safety protocol. They have CCTV, smoke alarms, the whole shebang. Good. All the marks for Staff trained in safety protocol. I saw the staff actively cleaning. I believe they're taking it seriously.
Services and Conveniences (Stuff You Need):
Here's a rundown: 24-hour front desk and security, concierge, daily housekeeping, laundry service, and luggage storage. They also have a convenience store, which is super handy. Cash withdrawal. They have everything - and all the conveniences.
For the Kids (Families Rejoice!):
I should probably mention the kids. There's a babysitting service, and the place is generally family/child friendly. I'm not sure I want to go to a hotel with kids (shudders). They also have kids facilities, so there is something to look forward to.
Getting Around (Not Much to Say, Really):
Car park [free of charge]. Airport transfer available. Taxi service. No complaints there.
The "Unbelievable" Angle - A Booking Offer:
Alright, this is where I put on my fancy sales hat (or, you know, imagine I'm wearing one).

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Eden Sorrento, Italy - Your Dream Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is… well, this is my memory of a week in that Alezzi complex in Mamaia, Romania. And trust me, it's a rollercoaster. Prepare for some serious Romanian sun, questionable decisions, and the distinct possibility of me getting lost in a kebab coma. Let's do this.
Apartament Miramare Alezzi - My "Getaway" (aka Chaos Theory in Action)
Day 1: Arrival & Optimism (Big Mistake)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The Great Escape (From Reality, Sort Of). Arriving at Otopeni Airport in Bucharest, bleary-eyed and fueled by airport coffee that tasted suspiciously like airplane glue. The rental car pick-up… well, let's say the Romanian bureaucracy and my nonexistent Romanian language skills were not a match made in heaven. After a tense hour of mime-acting and pointing, I finally got the keys. The car? A slightly battered Dacia Logan, affectionately nicknamed "The Beast." (Spoiler alert: It earned that name.) The drive to Mamaia was… scenic. Think rolling hills, charming villages, and road signs that seemed to change their minds every five seconds.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Alezzi Arrival and Apartment Hunt. Finally! Alezzi! The pictures online looked amazing—gleaming pools, pristine apartments, promises of paradise. My apartment, Miramare, was… adjacent to a construction site. Okay, fine. I’m a glass-half-full kind of person. The apartment itself? Clean-ish. The balcony offered a partial view of the sea, mostly blocked by a, you guessed it, construction crane. But hey, the air conditioning worked!
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): The Quest for Food and Water. The fridge was empty. My stomach was growling. Time to conquer the Mamaia grocery store! The supermarket was a sensory overload: unfamiliar brands, aggressive prices (at least to my poor, American-dollar-accustomed eyes), and a language barrier that meant pointing frantically at things and hoping for the best. I ended up with a bag of chips that tasted suspiciously like paprika, a bottle of water that may or may not have been tap, and some bizarre yogurt-like substance. Victory? Debatable.
- Evening (5:00 PM - Onwards): Sunset and Surrender to the Sun. After I got some food, I decided to relax. The building had a pool, so I went there. When I entered the water, it was so cold. I asked the life guard and he told me it was heated but it was at 70 degrees.
Day 2: Beach, Bears, and Booze (In Reverse Order)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Beach Day (Finally!). The beach was… crowded. And noisy. But the Black Sea looked beautiful. The sand was surprisingly fine. Spent the morning attempting to read, getting sand everywhere, and occasionally glancing suspiciously at the group of teenagers blasting reggaeton from a nearby boombox. (Why does every teenager everywhere insist on owning a boombox that could power a small city?)
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Lunch and the Kebab Incident. Found a beachside restaurant. Ordered a "shawarma." What arrived was… a masterpiece of meat. Succulent lamb, perfectly seasoned, wrapped in warm pita bread. It was so good, I nearly wept. (I may or may not have ordered a second one.) This, my friends, is how you do travel. This, is what travel is about.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): The Bear Encounter (Almost). This never actually happened, thank goodness. I was told about the local "bear sanctuary." I was, however, slightly tempted to visit. But the thought of actually encountering a bear in Romania… let's just say it was a thought I quickly (and wisely) dismissed.
- Evening (6:00 PM - Onwards): Cocktail Hour and the Balcony Sit. Back at the apartment. Decided to sit on the balcony. There was no one to enjoy the view with, but I did get enjoy a cocktail.
Day 3: The "Culture" Day (AKA Getting Lost)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Attempting Culture. Decided to venture into Constanta, the nearby city. Tried to follow the GPS, of course. The directions sounded good on paper and ended in a series of unexpected detours and one terrifying encounter with a one-way street I may or may not have driven down the wrong way. (Never mind. The Beast and I are fine).
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The Old Town (Sigh). The Old Town of Constanta was actually quite amazing. Beautiful buildings. Wonderful architecture. I also found a small restaurant that served what appeared to be a fish stew.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): The Naval Museum (or, the Art of Pretending to Know Things). I found a Naval Museum. The displays were actually quite interesting, but I'll freely admit I don't know the first thing about naval history. I spent most of my time nodding sagely at things, pretending I knew what was going on. The museum was so packed it was hard to move around in.
- Evening (6:00 PM - Onwards): The Return of the Shawarma. It was a long day. I deserved a reward. Back to the beachside restaurant for another shawarma. This time, I ordered two, just in case.
Day 4: Poolside Paranoia and the Beach Chair Rebellion
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Poolside Panic. Back at the Alezzi complex. The pool was crowded. Really crowded. I started to get a little bit paranoid of the sun. And the people.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The Beach Chair Wars. Apparently, there is a beach chair culture. People got up early, and they were out there, claiming their beach chairs. This was a beach chair rebellion!
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Beach Time. I tried to enjoy the beach. I really did.
- Evening (6:00 PM - Onwards): The Sunset. I watched the sunset.
Day 5: The Great Escape (Again)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The Apartment Purge. Time to clean the apartment. Which, of course, gave way to a full-blown meltdown. Laundry, the dishes, sweeping. I hated it.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The Search For Good Coffee. I needed a jolt. I found a coffee shop. But the coffee, it just didn't have that kick I was looking for.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): A Late Swim. The water made the body warm.
- Evening (6:00 PM - Onwards): I sat on the balcony, drinking wine, and watching the sun go down.
Day 6: Relaxation and Reflection (or a Lack Thereof)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): I attempted relaxing. But this was proving to be almost as difficult as learning Romanian.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): A Long Nap. I got tired and took a nap.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM): I wandered around, wondering when was the best time to leave.
- Evening (6:00 PM - Onwards): Dinner, this time a pizza. A decent pizza, but it wasn't the same.
Day 7: Departure (and the Realization That It's Over)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 11:00 AM): The Farewell Shawarma. One last (and very emotional) visit to the beachside restaurant for a shawarma. This time, I bought five. For the road.
- Morning (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM): The Beast's Last Stand. The drive back to the airport.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - Onwards): Goodbye, Mamaia. Until next time (maybe).
Post-Trip Ramblings:
Okay, so Alezzi wasn't exactly the paradise promised. But it was… an experience. I saw beautiful things and ate even more beautiful things. I got lost, and I probably offended several people with my clumsy Romanian. But I also laughed a lot. And that's what matters, right? Would I go back? Maybe. But next time,

Unbelievable Mamaia Luxury: Miramare Alezzi Apartment – Seriously? Let's Talk! (Because You Know I Gotta)
Okay, so…"Unbelievable Mamaia Luxury" – is that just marketing fluff, or is this place *actually* nice? My expectations are... high.
Alright, let's cut the crap. "Unbelievable" is a loaded word, right? Like, setting the bar at the freaking Everest Base Camp. Okay, here's the deal: it's *good*. Like, really good. The Miramare Alezzi place? The views? Yeah, they're stunning. You get that instant hit of 'wow' when you walk in. I'm talking panoramic, sweeping, Instagram-worthy... but hold your horses. Luxury? Okay, yes, compared to the hostel I stayed in last year, it's the Ritz. Then I realized, after a long day of trying to get the Wifi working, it was still more like a nice, updated hotel room than a genuine, luxurious, *I'm-a-billionaire* experience.
I mean, the furniture was sleek – looked brand new! – BUT, and it's a big but, the coffee maker was one of those pod things. The kind that taste like sadness if you use the wrong pods. And the 'luxury' shower? Fantastic pressure until, after five minutes, I had a luke warm shower and have to wait for 30 minutes for it to heat up. Then while the sea view was there, lovely even, I could have used a balcony, the whole time, so I could have relaxed more.
The description mentions "beachfront." Is that a literal 'step-onto-the-sand' situation? Or is it just a nice view?
Here's where it gets REAL. "Beachfront" in Mamaia? Okay, it's *close*. Like, cross-the-street-and-you're-on-the-beach close. Which is damn good, don't misunderstand me! The view? Spectacular! You can practically smell the sea air from the balcony (if you have one, which I didn't, grumble, grumble). This being said, I *do* have a terrible sense of smell, so maybe it was just the stale smoke from the other apartments, and whatever else the wind blew.
But beachfront actually means a short walk, which is great! Then you are directly on the sand, perfect for those sunset strolls… if you can get over the fact that the beach itself is crowded. And noisy. And the sunbeds cost a fortune.
What about the apartment itself? Is it spacious? I'm traveling with a family/partner/a whole lot of luggage.
Okay, the size. This is crucial. The apartment I stayed in was... decent. Not a palace, but not a shoebox either. I felt it was perfect for two people, maybe three, if you're willing to cuddle. It’s well equipped and beautifully decorated, so, to repeat, there's more space than you'd expect.
Now, if you're thinking of cramming in a family of six with enough luggage to outfit a small army… consider renting two apartments. Or finding a REALLY big suitcase.
Amenities? What's included? Wifi? Pool? Parking? Tell me *everything*. (I hate surprises!)
Alright, the nitty-gritty. Wifi? Yep, generally okay. Sometimes temperamental. But hey, you're on vacation, right? Try not to be *too* glued to your phone. Which I failed to do.
* Pool: Yes! Nice pool! Clean! (I think). Be warned: It's probably going to be crowded. * Parking: Yes. Usually. Sometimes you have to wander a bit to find a spot... which I got after a day of walking through the sun to find a shop. * Kitchen: Yep! Fully equipped. But seriously, that *pod* coffee maker... (shivers).
Okay, I'm sold! (Maybe.) What about the surrounding area? Any good restaurants/bars/things to do nearby?
Mamaia is… Mamaia. Which is a whole vibe. It depends what you're looking for. Party central? You're GOOD. Endless clubs, bars, loud music until the wee hours… If you're a night owl, you'll *love* it. If you like quiet evenings with a good book? Bring earplugs and a very, very strong drink.
Restaurants? Plenty. Quality varies, but you'll find something to suit your taste (and budget). Some, are amazing, some are over-the-top, some are a bit bland. Do you want to go back for seconds? Probably not.
Things to do? Beach, obviously. Water sports. Casino. The gondola (fun!). Honestly, I found it all a bit… samey. But hey, you're there for the beach, right? Which there is plenty of. Just be prepared for crowds.
The big question: Would you go back? And what would you do differently?
Would I go back? Hmmm… That's a tough one. With the right expectations, and the right price, maybe. The view, the location are fantastic. But I'm still undecided if I would.
I'd definitely ask for a balcony. And I'd *definitely* bring my own French press for coffee.
And maybe, just maybe, I'd try to be less critical and actually *enjoy* the damn vacation. Or not. It's a work in progress, alright?
