(Let the Rambling Commence!)
Right, first things first: accessibility. I’m glad to say that Studio Infinity generally tries. They technically have all the right boxes ticked: Elevator? Check. Facilities for disabled guests? They claim so. But hold on, let's be real, people. The ramp leading to the… cough… “restaurant” (more on that food-fueled saga later) was a bit like navigating a rollercoaster built by a team of highly enthusiastic squirrels. Definitely a challenge but manageable. So, while they're striving, it's not flawless accessibility. My overall impression? Room for improvement, but a solid attempt. (Accessibility: 7/10 - Room for Improvement But Appreciation for the Effort!)
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: A rollercoaster experience. Let's just say the accessibility of the restaurant was, as mentioned before, an adventurous journey. It was manageable yet could use some improvement. The food itself? Well, that brings me neatly to another area…
Food, Glorious Food (…Or Not).
Oh, the dining! Let’s be frank, this is where things got… interesting. The "A la carte in restaurant" promised culinary delights, and the availability of "Alternative meal arrangement," hinted at flexibility. I was expecting masterpieces. Instead, I received… varied. One evening, I swore I ate the world's most generous salad, with an excessive amount of dressing on the side. Another evening I discovered the "Vegetarian Restaurant" was a myth. The breakfast buffet? A mixed bag. The Asian breakfast? I am still trying to find that on the plate… The coffee was decent, the desserts often tempting but sometimes a bit… experimental. Let's just say my stomach had a few minor adventures. The Poolside bar was a major plus so, yay!
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: 6/10 - It's an adventure. Pack Pepto-Bismol.
The Spa: Where Escapism Met Reality (and a Bit of Awkwardness).
Okay, the spa. This is where Studio Infinity really shines. I went expecting your standard hotel spa fare. I got something a little… more. The "Pool with view" was absolutely gorgeous, sparkling under the Romanian sun, and the "Sauna," "Steamroom," and "Spa" were all top-notch. I indulged in some massages. I asked for firm pressure, and the masseuse looked at me with a look that was a mixture of pity and… fear! It was the most intense massage of my life but totally amazing! But, I have to admit. One time, after a body scrub, I wandered out in a towel, only to nearly step on a very enthusiastic family's picnic. Awkward. Yet, it was wonderfully relaxing and worth every penny.
- Spa/Spa & Sauna: 9/10 - Heaven, with a side of almost stepping on family picnics.
The Room: My Fortress of Solitude (with Some Occasional Intrusion).
The rooms? Generally, a comfortable and relaxing retreat. They have, and I kid you not, “Air conditioning,” “Blackout curtains,” and even “Bathrobes.” The "Free Wi-Fi", thank goodness, was actually free and usually decent. I opted for "Rooms sanitized between stays" and was pleased. On the other hand, my "wake-up service" forgot to wake me up every.single.day. But again, these are minor flaws! My "Laptop workspace" and "desk" were great and I could get some work done, and the "Fridge" was really helpful.
- Available in all rooms: 8/10 - A comfortable haven with a few quirks, like a forgetful alarm.
The "Things to Do" (Beyond Being a Couch Potato, Like Myself).
Okay, let's be real, I spent a lot of time chilling. But there are "Things to Do"! The "Fitness center" was well-equipped (though I'm pretty sure I was the only one who used it). The "Swimming pool [outdoor]" was perfect for lazy days, and the proximity to the beach was a major plus. You can't ignore the options for "Body scrub" and "Body wrap" which were a plus.
- Things to do, ways to relax: 8/10 - Plenty to keep you entertained if you, you know, actually want to be.
The "Cleanliness and Safety" (During a Pandemic - or Whenever You're Staying).
Okay, this is crucial. Studio Infinity's "Cleanliness and safety" game was… okay. Seeing "Anti-viral cleaning products" was reassuring, as was the "Daily disinfection in common areas." They even had "Hand sanitizer" everywhere. There was "Daily housekeeping" but it came with a few strange quirks, like the mystery of my disappearing shampoo. But overall, it was a good effort, which I appreciated.
- Cleanliness and safety: 7/10 - Reassuring, but maybe hide your shampoo.
The "Services and Conveniences": Helpful or a Headache?
They offer "Air conditioning in public area," and have a "Concierge" ready to assist you. The "Daily housekeeping" was very helpful. The "Laundry service" I found highly useful. On a more personal level, "Coffee/tea in restaurant" and "Coffee shop" were highly appreciated.
- Services and conveniences: 7/10 - Helpful but not perfect.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly, or Just a Little…?
I didn't partake, but there were "Kids facilities" and a "Babysitting service" available. The hotel does attempt to be "Family/child friendly".
- For the kids: Unsure. I didn't witness the experience firsthand.
The Verdict:
Studio Infinity in Mamaia is a slightly flawed, but utterly charming gem. It's not perfect, but it is real. It's got its quirks, its inconsistencies, and its moments of glorious, slightly awkward brilliance. If you're looking for a perfectly polished, cookie-cutter hotel experience, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a place with heart, a place to truly relax, and a place that offers a unique and memorable experience, then I say: Book it. Just, you know, pack your own shampoo, and maybe a small snack. And maybe learn a little Romanian – just for the fun of it! You will feel it's a must and I have a feeling you won't regret it. And here I end this review, with all my love. And I totally recommend you visit the place and let me now what is your experience, if any!

Studio Infinity by ALZ Mamaia: A Chaotic Romanian Romp (My Mostly-Accurate Timeline)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Luggage Hunt (Plus, Dramatic First Impressions)
- Morning (ish): Touchdown in Constanta. Okay, so the flight was fine, but getting through customs felt like trying to win a staring contest with a bored immigration officer. He gave me the look. You know the one. The "tourist-who-thinks-they're-slick-but-they're-not" look. Anyway, I finally made it! Then, the carousel of doom spat out bags at a snail's pace. Mine? Absent. Classic. Panic set in. Did I pack enough emergency chocolate? (Answer: No. Always no.) Eventually, after a solid hour of mild hysteria and pointing frantically at a picture of my suitcase (seriously, who thought a bright orange suitcase was a good idea?), the lost luggage fairy delivered. Praise be!
- Afternoon: Transfer to Mamaia. The drive was… a vibe. Think bright sunshine, wind whipping through fields of… something yellow (sunflowers? Rapeseed? I'm a city girl, okay?). Then the Black Sea came into view. Wow. Just… wow. The water, shimmering, the beaches… it's genuinely beautiful, even though there were probably some seagulls trying to steal my lunch.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Arrival at Studio Infinity! The hotel itself is… okay. It looks clean. The room is… functional. The balcony has a nice view, though. It’s just… well, the description on the website was maybe a little inflated? I'm still trying to figure out the air conditioning. It's either Arctic blast or Sahara Desert. No in-between. First impressions count, right? I'm reserving judgment though, maybe it will grow on me. The staff is very helpful. After a brief wander, I have no idea where I am. I'm going to call it adventure!
- Evening: Dinner at a nearby restaurant, recommended by the front desk. The menu was… intimidating. Honestly, it looked like a novel. I ordered something that sounded like "grilled fish with a side of mystery". The mystery was… a slightly rubbery, but perfectly edible vegetable. Romanian food is an adventure! Ended the night with a walk along the beach, feeling the sand between my toes, and getting slightly lost again, which is becoming a theme, I think.
Day 2: SUN & SAND AND (Possibly) Cultural Immersion (AKA, My Attempts at Being a Tourist)
- Morning: Beach day! Sunscreen application, a herculean task, achieved with minor sunburn. The water's a bit cold, to be honest, but the sun is baking me into a golden crisp. I am currently regretting not packing a book.
- Afternoon: Attempted cultural immersion. Tried to visit the History museum, but it was closed. Frustration levels rising! Then, I wandered around, trying to decipher Romanian signs. Got thoroughly lost, eventually found a cute little café and ordered coffee. It was amazing. This is a definite win. I love coffee.
- Late Afternoon: Decided to try my hand at the local markets. Found some souvenirs (a ceramic rooster, naturally), and some… well, I think they're spices? The vendor gave me a look. The "clueless tourist" look. Yeah, I'm wearing that one well.
- Evening: Dinner. Experimenting with the local cuisine again. Decided to be brave and ordered something with "Romanian soup". It was surprisingly good! Followed by a long walk along the beach, which did not end up with a lot of walking. I ended up looking at the stars and having existential thoughts.
Day 3: The Black Sea Ride and Existential Musings and (Maybe, Just Maybe) Getting My Bearings
- Morning: Taking a boat trip along the Black Sea, a good idea. The waves are gently rocking. I'm getting a great view. I'm enjoying the sun, the wind, and thinking about life.
- Afternoon: This is where I attempt to figure out the local bus system in Mamaia. I'm just not sure. It seems to work just fine. Eventually, after getting on the wrong bus, I end up in a beautiful church.
- Late Afternoon: I finally bought a decent map. I'm going to try to do some shopping.
- Evening: I'm starving. I eat. After a long walk along the beach, I end the day.
Day 4: The Almost-Disaster and the Search for Authenticity
- Morning: Started the day with a planned excursion to a nearby fishing village. Things went downhill rapidly. First, the rental car I arranged through the hotel? Apparently, it was available "at some point" after 10 am. Frustrated, I started walking, and kept walking, and kept walking. The walk was miserable. I'm hot, sweaty, hungry and feel terrible.
- Afternoon: Found a park! I have the best idea ever: I take a nap. It was glorious. I wake up with a new will to live
- Late Afternoon: Found a tiny, non-touristy restaurant. The food was amazing. This is the life!
- Evening: I'm happy again.
Day 5: Saying Goodbye, and the Unanswered Questions
- Morning: Last breakfast at the hotel. Actually, it was pretty decent! But the eggs were way too runny.
- Afternoon: Head to the airport. Feeling conflicted. On one hand, I miss my own bed. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'm ready to leave the Black Sea behind. I would like to come back, but I'm not sure.
- Evening: On the flight, looking out the window, thinking about everything. I'm sure that everyone will agree: This was an unusual trip, but I liked it.
Final Thoughts:
Studio Infinity, Mamaia. It got better. It certainly wasn't perfect, it was messy. But there's something about the Black Sea and the chaos of it all. It has a certain charm. Would I recommend it? Maybe. With warnings. Pack sunscreen, a good book, an extra pair of socks, and an open mind. Oh yeah: learn some basic Romanian. That would have been a huge help!

Unveiling Studio Infinity: Mamaia's Hidden Gem (ALZ) - The REAL FAQs
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into Studio Infinity in Mamaia. Forget the perfectly manicured brochures; this is the raw, unfiltered truth. I've been, I've survived, and now I'm here to tell the tale. And trust me, the tale has twists and turns, and more than a few near-panic moments. So, let's get this show on the road, shall we? And try to forgive the messyness. It's been a week.
1. So, is Studio Infinity *really* a hidden gem? Or just… well, hidden?
Okay, so "hidden gem" is a loaded phrase, right? Like, if something's *too* hidden, it's just… gone. And finding Studio Infinity initially felt like a treasure hunt led by a very enthusiastic, slightly confused pirate. The address on the website? Let's just say it took me three U-turns, a frantic phone call to the owner (bless her heart, she was super patient with my flailing map-reading skills), and a near-miss with a rogue ice cream cart before I finally spotted it. So... yes, it's hidden. But is it a gem? Eventually, yes. *Eventually.* The payoff is worth the initial navigational trauma, I promise. It's the little things, you know? Like the way the sun hits the pool at golden hour...
2. The pictures look amazing. Is it as gorgeous in real life? (And did they use a *lot* of filters?)
The pictures… they're *good*. But let's be real, Instagram is a land of carefully curated perfection. Studio Infinity? It has its moments of flawless beauty. The view from the balcony, overlooking the Black Sea? Swoon-worthy. The pool, shimmering invitingly? Yep, pretty darn gorgeous. The *real* life is… well, it has a certain *vibe*. It's less airbrushed, more lived-in beauty. Think a stunning artist who's thrown paint on themselves a few times. There were a few less-than-Instagram-worthy details, like the slightly wonky tile in the bathroom (minor, who's looking THAT closely?) or the occasional faint smell of… well, let's call it "sea-air-adjacent-with-a-hint-of-sunscreen." But honestly? It added to the charm. It felt *real*. And yeah, maybe they used *some* filters. Everyone does.
3. What’s the vibe? Relaxing? Party central? Something in between?
Okay, the "vibe." This is important. I went with a friend (bless her patience). We needed chill time. And Studio Infinity mostly delivers on that front. It's definitely not a "rave until dawn" kind of place (thank God, because my dancing shoes are currently gathering dust somewhere). It's more… laid-back luxury. Think: sipping cocktails by the pool, reading a book, occasionally glancing up to appreciate the view. But, here's the kicker: it's also not *stuffy*. You absolutely *can* bring your own music (within reason, please, have some respect for the other guests!), and if you and your crew are feeling lively at sunset and a bottle of prosecco just happens to be the right answer... Well, no one's going to yell at you. It's that lovely balance between relaxed and, for lack of a better word, *fun*. Also, I saw a dog, so that automatically cranks the chill vibe up a notch. (I love dogs.)
4. The pool looked amazing! Any pool-related drama? (Or, you know, is it actually clean?)
Right? The pool. The *promise* of the pool was a major selling point for me. And yes, it *is* as inviting as it looks. Clean? Absolutely! I’m a bit germaphobic, so I'd have noticed immediately if something was off. The water was crystal clear, the tiles sparkling… no creepy green stuff lurking in the corners. No pool-related drama, per se. Except… I may or may not have tripped over the inflatable flamingo (I blame the prosecco) and nearly landed headfirst in the deep end. Thankfully, I'm a decent swimmer, so no lifeguard intervention was required. But my friend *did* nearly choke with laughter. She’s still using it as blackmail to get me to do dishes. The pool… good times. Just watch out for the flamingo. That inflatable menace is out to get you.
5. Is the kitchen well-equipped? Because I *must* make my own breakfast... and possibly cocktails.
Okay, so the kitchen… it’s functional. Let's say that. It has the basics. Fridge, stove, microwave. The all-important coffee maker. Pots, pans, utensils. Now, don't expect a Michelin-star chef's dream kitchen. This isn't a place where you're going to be whipping up elaborate, multi-course feasts unless you're a culinary wizard. But for basic breakfast and cocktail-making, you're golden. I made pancakes (they were edible, which is a win), and my friend handled the cocktail situation. The blender worked (*praise*). It's all about the experience, right? And the experience of making cocktails in such a gorgeous setting… well, that will make any kitchen work. Just remember to pack any specialty ingredients or equipment if you're a particularly ambitious cook. And maybe, just *maybe*, leave the flambé for another time. Especially if you're near the inflatable flamingo. You’ve been warned.
6. Seriously, what about the location? Is it easy to get around? Close to the beach?
The location is… a mixed bag. It *is* close to the beach. A short walk, which is fantastic. The beach is decent - nice sand, a few beach bars, the usual. Getting around without a car… well, it’s doable. There are taxis, and public transport. However, a car would make life so much easier, especially if you want to explore the wider Mamaia area, or take day trips. Because walking everywhere in the sweltering heat is not my idea of a relaxing vacation. I mean, the beach is right there, but you're not really *in* the *thick* of Mamaia's nightlife, if that's your thing. You're a little apart, which is actually kind of nice, as a contrast to the party atmosphere. It's a double edge sword. So, pack your walking shoes, embrace public transport (or taxis!), or just rent a car. Make your choice. I'm not your mother.
