A weekend with an indoor pool, two nights and no long trips. We checked the offers for October 30–November 1, 2026, departing from Constanța . Next to the room price, we included meals, fuel and road taxes. And the comparison shows why it's worth reading the offer to the end.
At the end of October, the seaside can once again be part of your weekend plans. This time, the sunbed is replaced by the indoor pool, and the question of the sea temperature becomes a much more practical one: can the child go in the pool? We searched for two adults and a five-year-old child , with arrival on Friday, October 30 , and departure on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Two nights, same family, same dates.
Offers were checked on October 29, 2026. Prices and availability are subject to change until booking.
Constanta: weekend with a pool at Hotel Bulevard
At Hotel Bulevard, the search for a five-year-old child shows 792 lei for two nights, with breakfast , compared to the 900 lei found for a seven-year-old child. The selected offer mentions free accommodation for the child. The hotel is located in Constanța, on Mamaia Boulevard , not in Mamaia resort. It has an indoor pool, and the official pool page states free access to the pool and sauna for guests staying there.

The offer accepts the selected family, but does not confirm a separate bed for the child. Anyone who wants three separate sleeping places must clarify this condition before booking. Details are in the Bulevard offer for two adults and a five-year-old child.
Mamaia and the child's access to IAKI
After changing the age in the official IAKI engine, the selected rate remained 147,90 euros per night , i.e. 295,80 euros for two nights . Includes breakfast and one SPA access per adult, per day. The verified superior double room has twin beds and a sofa bed.
The five-year-old child falls into the 4–11 age category , for which the rate published by IAKI SPA is 69 lei per day . We budgeted two days of access: 138 lei . We do not assume free of charge just because it is lower. The hotel's conversion also matters when paying: the rate conditions provide for the official exchange rate from the last Friday, plus 1,7%. The local tax is paid separately, according to the calculation basis specified by the hotel. Sources: the official IAKI engine and booking conditions.
Eforie Sud and the Euforia offer
At Euforia Retreat & Spa, the same Luxury room with balcony now appears at 2.072 lei for two nights , in the non-refundable rate. The engine explicitly indicates the price for three guests, with breakfast. The hotel advertises the inclusion of parking and access to the SPA, with an indoor pool heated to 28°C . The regulation requires that minors under 12 years of age be accompanied and supervised at all times by an adult.
The general conditions provide for a breakfast supplement of 50 lei per night for the age category of our child. We do not add it once again on top of the offer configured for three people, which already displays breakfast included. It remains to confirm the exact configuration of the child's bed: the room description does not identify it clearly enough. Sources: Euforia offer for a family with a five-year-old child , included facilities and hotel regulations.
Eforie Nord and the Aqvatonic tariff
At Aqvatonic, changing the child's age from seven to five years old reduced the displayed supplement from 398 to 298 lei . For the double room with partial sea view, the selected all-inclusive rate amounts to 1.898,10 lei for the room, plus 298 lei for the child . The total recalculated in the engine is 2.196,10 lei , for two nights.
It is a relevant option for comparison, as it includes more meals than breakfast packages. However, the description of the rate consulted does not sufficiently clarify the inclusion of pool access. Until confirmation, the amount should not be considered as the final budget "with SPA". In the official Aqvatonic engine , the room, the all-inclusive option and a five-year-old child are selected.
Bulgaria: weekend with pool at Astor Garden and Aquahouse
At Astor Garden, in Saints Constantine and Helena, the search for a five-year-old child shows 270,40 euros for two nights , with breakfast, taxes and use of the SPA facilities included in the selected rate. The autumn offer published by the hotel includes mineral water pools and access to the mineral water facilities at Aquahouse Thermal & Beach. Access to each area remains subject to its own rules, including age.
The checked room has an extendable armchair. Parking is separate: 7 euros per day , according to the official list of services . For the two nights we kept a reserve of 14–21 euros, until the day count is confirmed. The rate can be reproduced in the Astor Garden offer for two adults and a five-year-old child.
At Aquahouse Ensana, the engine kept the rate of 624 euros , with breakfast, dinner, taxes and SPA facilities included according to the package. It is a different category of expense, not a benchmark for the entire Bulgarian coastline . See the Aquahouse Ensana offer for a five-year-old child.
How much do we budget for a weekend with a pool, beyond the room?
Estimate: for calculations we kept a consumption of 7 l/100 km , fuel of 10,10 lei/liter and an editorial conversion of 5,35 lei/euro . These are calculation assumptions, not guaranteed quotes at the pump or at the bank. We used total working distances, with local travel: 20 km for Bulevard, 30 km for Mamaia, 40 km for Eforie Nord, 50 km for Eforie Sud and 320 km for Sfinții Constantin și Elena.
Estimate: meals not included have an allocation of 600–900 lei for a family for breakfast packages and 300–450 lei for half board. We did not apply an assumed discount for a five-year-old child. For Bulgaria , the weekend vignette costs 6,60 euros , according to the official BGTOLL portal . The calculation assumes a route through Vama Veche and an already valid Romanian vignette.

Close to home or in Bulgaria?
For the family leaving from Constanta, the offers found show two different advantages. Proximity preserves more time for the weekend. Bulgaria can bring a package with mineral facilities at a budget close to some options in Mamaia, after adding the road. For context on who chooses the Romanian seaside and how tourists book , see also our analysis of over 60.000 reservations.
The five-year-old cuts some bills. He doesn't cut all of them. And before paying, the three questions remain the same: where he sleeps, what meals are included, and which pool he can use.
