Lebada Luxury Resort & Spa

Beautiful area, just excellent rooms and breakfast. You feel like you’re trapped in a paradise you can’t leave unless you pay serious money. There’s no store where you can buy water or beer at a normal price. On the funny side, a D&G Home store is opening next to the D&G clothing store, where you can buy D&G home products. Minibar prices are similar to those at the restaurant: Heineken 0.33L – 19 RON Johnny Walker Black 200ml – 200 RON Don Papa Rum 200ml – 300 RON White Wine "Caii de la Letea" – 95 RON Still Water 250ml – 20 RON Nutline Peanuts 135g – 40 RON Everything is overpriced, except for breakfast, which is well assorted. Most dishes are average in terms of quality and presentation, but still come with a premium price tag. Boat rides are expensive and don't offer much, and you can’t even get boat trips from locals. (HIGHLY discouraged by the concierge staff - about 1000 lei tax for this from what I've heard, so unofficial) Around 80% of the staff is from Asia, and communication is difficult – they barely speak English/Romanian. Check the menu carefully before you go, because there’s nothing else available – it’s like being on an isolated island. You get a maximum of two 0.5L bottles of Dorna water per day from room service. The room price paid on Booking does NOT include the Murighiol–Crișan transfer, which costs 180 RON per person(two way trip). In the evening, they cause noise pollution across the whole village of Crișan(with their tematic nights), and then complain that the Delta isn't what it used to be anymore. Most tourists I spoke with seemed disgusted by this business model.

Great resort for families with kids Great kid friendly resort! They seem to focus on families with kids, not couples or single adults! There is a spa but their concierge department is lacking. The tours were not organized, not many offers. There are boats in their marina but someone needs to organize the tours better. Since this resort is secluded, you might have a hard time booking tours outside of the resort! If you have kids then this is the place for you! The breakfast bar is incredible, it has anything you can think of! One other problem is that there is not one single water fountain to be able to get FREE drinking water!

NEVER 5 stars! The only positive thing is the helpfulness and kindness of the staff (Mrs. Olimpia for example) The room received was with an absolutely rotten mattress and pillows, yellowed and stained...the room was later changed precisely for this reason...with a superior one, free upgrade (to be fair) In the "upper" room, the air conditioning system does not work (it's cold like a freezer...something with the thermostat) and you can't control the temperature from the digital panels...surprisingly, it doesn't work, there are two of them, both broken. They sent a technician (with a lot of common sense) who had nothing to do and we came to two options: go on cold and get pneumonia or turn off the air conditioning completely and stay on the heat... we're only at 5 stars! 90% of the staff is of foreign origin, you don't manage to get along very well if you don't know English. (I finished a high school in English, but I wonder how mom and dad would have managed here?) The food from the Swedish buffet at the cherhana was served cold, decent but absolutely cold, all the fish and meat, and a draft with Ciuc beer cost 25 lei, and a bottle of Sole Recas wine 220 lei (a lot, a little...you decide every) I repeat, NEVER 5 stars!

I went to Lebada for the first time 35 years ago, when I was a child. Today, this wonderful place in the heart of the Delta has turned into a superb and luxurious 5-star resort. The experience is wonderful. The resort looks gorgeous with fabulous gardens and is located on the banks of the Danube. We found 4 outdoor swimming pools and one indoor, heated one. A spa center, gym. The complex has 4 restaurants, one Mediterranean, one Lebanese, one Japanese and one cherhana (fish restaurant).The food is 5 stars. The staff is extremely attentive and helpful and is there at any time to answer your questions or give you advice. It is a wonderful place for children, with playgrounds. The resort is not cheap, but it offers you a fabulous vacation! If you want an unforgettable experience, in which you will be pampered, do not hesitate to come and spend quality time.

This resort it's amazing. Extremely polite staff, carefully focused to your needs. Nice, clean, big and comfortable rooms. The breakfast it's absolutely amazing, one of the most varied in the world. The resort has inside and outside pools, spa, massage. The garden it's very big and very beautiful. It's a must to visit this resort!

An absolutely beautiful place to go with friends and children. Free and safe parking at Murighiol and then a 40 minutes boat trip to the hotel. Our 7y olds were already amazed. Very nice rooms, comfortable beds and good shower and bathroom facilities. The AC was working just right, an absolute must have during this heatwave. There is a good variation of pools outdoors and 1 indoor pool. There is also some entertainment for the kids, even though that offer could be improved. The main restaurant offers also the really good breakfast buffet upstairs that caters for a broad variety of taste. For lunch and dinner it's downstairs and offers a good variety again. In the evening there is life music outdoors [at least during our stay] and you have Danube view. We did not test the Japanese Restaurant, but liked the Lebanese one very much. It offers indoors and outdoors seating with Danube and little harbour views. All places seemed to have nice and very attentive waiters. unfortunately there are not always enough of them and that, on very rare occasions, shows some slippage in the quality of service. The hotel offers some tours to various attractions of the Danube delta. If possible get a group together with some likeminded people and rent a boat with a "driver". This is exactly what we did. It was cheaper and much more flexible, creating your own individualised tour. Highly recommended! Don't forget to pay the Riverside SPA at least one visit. It's well worth it! We stayed as a group of friends with children and all had an amazing time! A final word about mosquitoes. Between about 9 and 10 PM all outdoors areas had an invasion of those little suckers. We came well prepared but a bit more could be done by the team in the restaurant areas. Their attempts were a bit halfhearted. Room for improvement is around the provision of child entertainment sessions. We've seen much, much better in other resorts. Please extend the breakfast hours. It's currently from 8 to 10 AM only. Until 11 AM is the minimum expected. Also please, please, please signpost the departure area for the boat at Murighiol harbour much better. we waited in the wrong area for while before phoning for help. The Ponton had a large Lebada Resort roof, but the correct place was not signposted. We met others who did exactly the same. On our return journey we saw another family with their children sitting in the exact same but wrong spot waiting for pickup.
