What a wonderful experience in the wilds of the Danube Delta. 20 or so hides for particular species seats in them are comfortable two even have a toilet. Most fitted with one way glass essential so the birds do not detect the watchers. Rooms large and comfortable with excellent showers and plenty of hot water. The reception area has large comfortable chairs and sofa ideal to share a free glass of wine or beer. Food was excellent mostly local dishes, considering this hotel is in the middle of nowhere, no supermarkets, no home delivery service the variety of meals was remarkable. Breakfast was continental but a choice of boiled eggs or omelettes also available. The number of people that return speaks volumes. Guides personable, knowledgeable and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The use of electric buggies offers some independence. If you enjoy a taste of remote areas with good food and comfortable accommodation this is the place for you.

A fantastic unique location for wildlife lovers and photographers with great food.

Ultima Frontiera

 The new hotel and huge wildlife area has been developed sympathetically,  from a derelict fish farm,  communist prison now demolished, plus surrounding  area,  by the Italian Company Skua. Making it a safe haven for wildlife. 

I totally endorse what others say about the photographic  potential here.  We got great photos  from the dedicated hides. of Jackal, White Tailed Eagles, Wood Peckers,  Kingfishers,  wildcat and many more species.  

The 2 person buggies were an added bonus, allowing us the freedom, to visit different parts of their  area.  The weather was hot and sunny, so going around on foot, carrying a heavy camera and tripod, wouldn't have been  practical. 
The buggies also allowed us to see a badger and a hog family as they crossed the trail in front of us.   Watch out for the cows on some of the trails. They are very gentle beasts and will move out of the way for you,  in their own time.

We came with Ornitholidays, the first week being advertised as Bird Watching and the second week Photography. They were of course very similar.  Our little group of around 8,  did have some organised trips, by  vehicle,  which took us beyond the scope of the buggies. The trails are very rough in places, being on Sandy ground. Walking  through a couple of the little villages was quite moving, to see so many derelict homes and a boarded up modern school.  We assumed the younger folk had left, leaving the Old Folk to manage as best they could. 
The boat trips included visiting  lagoons and on the other occasion, the Black Sea.   These both gave excellent views of hundreds of pelicans, cormorants and other wild fowl.

I will give you my impression of the hotel itself. 
It's  a long, single storied building,  with a thatched roof, blending in well with  the sandy coloured surroundings.   Inside the large entrance room has seating and two coffee tables, with photographic books showing superb nature pictures.  The walls throughout the hotel display lovely Wildlife subjects taking around the Estate. 

There's a drinking water dispenser in the entrance room,  from which bottles can be filled.  The HOT button on the dispenser didn't  dispense, but hot water is available from the coffee machine in the breakfast room.

A corridor, crosses the back of this room making a T junction. Bedrooms to left and right, breakfast room, at the bottom of the left corridor. 
Our bedroom room 6, was really large and I assume the same as the others.  Two comfortable single beds,  fitted wardrobe with 6 hangers and shelves,  also containing a safe.
The ensuite had a walk in shower with plenty of hot water.  There was hand/ shower gel dispensers, but no hair products.   The  hairdryer was on the wall, next to the mirror.
There was a TV and the WiFi signal was good. 
It was good that the windows  had a fine mesh bug  screen, on the outside, so you could leave the window open at night for ventilation, without fear of bugs getting in.   There was an aircon unit, but apart from one occasion, we managed without it.  I did get some midge bites while outside, so take a bug spray with you.  I used Incognito anti mosquito spray and the midges loved it! 

I missed not having tea/ coffee making facilities in our room, although you can make yourself a drink in the breakfast room.
I'm not very good with  new appliances and the coffee machine in the Breakfast room, did confuse most of us, resulting in multiple cups of milk as we couldn't workout how to switch it off. It would therefore be helpful to have instructions in English,  when you have an English party in.

The breakfasts were perfectly adequate.  .Limited choice of cereal,  but ham, cheese, tomatoes, toast, butter, jam and yogurt.  Also soft drinks out of the fridge.  The kitchen lady doesn't necessarily start work  before  8, but Laura the Manager,  was always very helpful and spoke English.  She supervised at meal times and took the egg orders.   Usually omelette or boiled.  They were cooked to perfection!  

The 1 pm  and 8pm meals were tasty and in really  large portions.  Some of the meals may have look different to what I would have at home, e.g. clear soup with veg and meat balls,  I was initially put off by the appearance, but because I didn't wish to disappoint the Staff, I tried them and enjoyed them.   Over the 2 weeks I spent there, I gained half a stone in weight.  

At each of these main meals one free drink was included, be it wine,  beer or soft drink.  There was an honesty book to write down any extra you had drank.  Drinking water was always available.   We initially used bottled, then kept filling it up from one of the dispensers.

It was a very enjoyable holiday and I wish to thank all the Staff including: Max, Laura and  her Mum,  for all their hard work, also Paul, our great Ornitholidays leader who escorted us from the UK.


A haven for both wildlife and photographers.

An incredible experience at this remote wildlife centre in Romania. For serious photographers the centre provides 20 plus hides designed by and for photographers.  The specialty species is the White Tailed Eagle and the  scarce European Golden Jackal. In addition there  are many species of birds including Bee Eaters, Rollers, Orioles  etc. Accommodation in the hotel complex is modern, comfortable and with Wifi & TV. A number of companies can get you there. For me - I hope that I will be able to go back soon. 

The ultimate wildlife photography trip

It is an ideal place if you are looking for birdlife, nature and calm. Small hotel which you can reach only by boat from Tulcea or car from Sulina. You get transfer from the boat to the hotel. At side there are small electric caddys to discover the sourroundings in the delta with marvellous birds and plants.  They offer also boat tours through the delta. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the service very good, the food is local with a fantastic taste.

Fantastic stay in unspoiled nature

You reach this remote location by boat from Tulcea.  The Reserve is a great location with lots of hides and a spectacular array of wildlife. The eagle/ jackal hide, where you remain for 5 hours, has a toilet and comfortable seats for 6 people. Many hides have a glass frontage with tinted glass, which cuts down the amount of light if you are doing photography.  Some hides are seasonal and built from reeds.  These hides are not waterproof and if it rains you will get wet. Electric golf buggies are provided so that you can get around the reserve by yourself other wise the local guides need to take you in the landrovers.  Our local guides Igor and Federico were excellent with good english and a superb knowledge of the wildlife. Lens need to be in the range of 200-600mm for decent sized photographs.  We were unlucky with the weather and had dull days and lots of rain meaning that we had to use ISO 3200-4000 and even with that, had a very low shutter speed.  The rooms are large and comfortable.  Heavy curtains cut out the light, which was much appreciated.  The bathrooms are also large.  Rooms have wifi.  There is no lounge but a few comfortable seats at the entrance hall. There is a large outdoor area with hard seats and the walls protected by netting. We had free water, soft drinks, 2 glasses of wine or 2 bottles of beer. I do not know if this is normal or part of the deal we had. The downside of this place is the food.  It was appalling.  Breakfast - bread roll, which became more stale as the week progressed, slice of cheese, sometimes a slice of tomato or cucumber.  The 'cook' does not start work until later in the morning.  Food was poor quality and overcooked. Vegetables on the rare occasions that you got them were so overcooked that they were mush. Rice was not light and fluffy but looked as though it had been mixed with wallpaper paste.  Vegetarians had rather unusual meals - 3 hard boiled eggs in their shells plus rice, or rice plus 6 slices of thin pieces of carrot.  You will starve if you are a vegetarian.
The quality and quantity of food was unacceptable.  This is a wonderful place spoilt by the food.  We all held the same opinion.  We were all hungry as we did not get sufficient to eat.
