Recently spent a week in Mamaia in August.
Was supposed to stay 9 days but cut it short and fled to Bucharest after 6.
Mamaia is a beach strip next to the city of Constanta. The beach is long as fuck and wide, so its not bad as far as beaches go but the place itself isnt scenic at all and looks very dull. Not a place where you feel youre on a sunny beach vacation.
Most of the people are old couples.
Mamaia is only alive from thursday night - Sunday noon. Everyone comes from bucharest to party and comes back.
At other times its completely dead as far as nightlife (almost all clubs are actually closed) and the beaches are like a senior home.
I would not recommend it for a lengthy stay at all. Just go if youre in romania as a weekend getaway.
Where to stay:
Stay in the summerland area, near the fratelli/ego/loft beach clubs. Dont stray too far from that area, as that will be where most of the action is.
You might think other areas look close on the map, but its a long ass walk and taxis are dicks who refuse to use the meter most of the time.
Daytime:
Hit the higher end beach clubs, ego/fratelli/loft. Chairs there will be around 8-15$ per day in the weekends. Thats where most hot girls will be.
You may think the cheaper places are better for accessible girls but a) theyre not that cheaper and b) not a high concentration of girls.
Crazy beach and H2O beach can also be ok. You can walk around all of them before deciding where to get a chair.
Alternatively, on not so sunny days you can hit a couple of malls in constanta. City Park mall was decent for amount of girls.
Nighttime::
On wednesday night, everything was closed.
Thursday, hit Ego club. There is no entrance fee, no face control, but stilll ratios were good and girls were hot.
Friday Saturday, everything is open: Fratelli (has a 8$ entrance), Ego, Breeze, loft. Take your pick.
I went to Ego and Fratelli. Liked both clubs as far as layout goes. Ego has a party around the pool area and Fratelli is more like a standard club. Both have a decent bar area. Girls look very hot. The vibe isnt very pretentious but the attitudes were very cold. COuld not even get any conversation started 90% of the time.
I did meet and bang one cute but very average girl from Fratelli. Aside from that, no meaningful interaction or number even all week. I was aiming high but getting absolutely nowhere.
Neither was anyone else that i observed. Saw some very ugly girls reject guys that were lounge regulars.
Sunday: hit loft in the day and then Ego club has a bonfire party on the beach. The vibe is very hippy-ish but the responses werent.
The girls here look laid back but their responses were not.
Afterparty:
Crazy Beach and Kudos have crazy afterparties that go until 9 am. EVERYONE goes there and stays until sunrise.
Its not just the hippy girls, but even the 9s you saw at the club will be there. I was with the girl there but my friends tried to meet girls and were still getting the cold responses, same as the clubs.
Constanta bar scene:
There is an old town and harbour in constanta that has a bunch of bar/restaurant hybrides lined up. We went there on a monday and there was quite a few people but everyone was sitting on tables eating, not much drinking going on. Not sure how its like on weekends.
Random observations:
Romanian guys look good.
Saw quite a few black guys rolling with romanian social circles and they seemed to be doing quite well there.
Conclusion:
When i went to Bucharest it was a complete 180 in terms of attitudes and responses, so even though i liked the layout and vibe of the clubs i would not return to Mamaia.
Aside from the one girl i banged i got 0 good interactions even.
