1. The Ruta Hotel (from 120 USD)
The Ruta Hotel sits near the Black Sea beach and is just 1km away from the Bugaz train station. The one-site café and restaurant provide both Ukrainian cuisine and Italian dishes. It also takes pride in its open-air recreation area, which houses a billiard table and table tennis. That’s not all – you can also enjoy lazing around in the gazebos and having your own private barbeque. If that doesn’t interest you, then how about going to the local aquapark, having a go at the trampoline, or taking part in a friendly game against the other guests on the football pitch? The only thing to complain about here is that you may not have enough time to see and do everything!

2. Villa Olivia (from USD 16)
A key selling point of Villa Olivia is its proximity to the beach. With just a one-minute walk from your room, you can spend all day and night outdoors and still get home safely, without any hassle. Another great point about the location? Each room comes with a balcony that offers a beautiful sea view. An entire range of room types is available, all with different sleeping arrangements. You can choose from one or two bedroom apartments, family suites, or just a smaller studio apartment.
3. Marseille Resort (from USD 67)
The beachfront Marseille Resort is a welcoming sight, with its warm yellow exterior and its perfect backdrop for photos. Inside you will find clean, tastefully decorated rooms in neutral shades of white, blue and yellow. Each spacious toilet has a full set of toiletries, as well as a hair dryer and fresh towels, so you can scrub yourself clean after a day out on the beach. For a change from the salty sea water, take a dip in the resort’s pool or laze about in one of their many cabanas.
4. The Solnechnaya Hotel (from USD 14)
The Solnechnaya Hotel is situated on the Black Sea beachfront, which makes trips down to the water that much easier. If you tire of splashing in the waves and lazing about on the beach, speak to one of the hotel staff for fishing equipment, so you can try and catch some dinner! Apart from the beach, the Solnechnaya Hotel is also just a 5-minute walk away from the Solnechnaya train station. The hotel itself has a bar and a restaurant that serves up authentic Ukrainian dishes, but you can also eat at one of the numerous cafes and restaurants in the area.
5. Villa Blumarine
Villa Blumarine is perfect for a family vacation or a big group of friends who crave more privacy. The spacious villa fits up to ten people and has five beds, meaning everyone will be sleeping in comfort. Another major draw of the villa is its private pool. No more sharing with other tourists; while at the Villa Blumarine, you can swim and play to your heart’s content at all hours of the day. Midnight swims, yay!

6. Family Hotel Happy INN (from USD 37)
The Family Hotel Happy INN is another option to consider if you just want to be by the beach. The hotel is a mere one-minute walk away from the beach. True to its name, the hotel really does cater to kids. It runs an entertainment programme for the young ones in the evenings, so kids can have a great time playing with their new friends. This is great news for parents, who can have a breather while resting assured that their kids are in safe hands.

7. Captain Hotel (from USD 24)
Captain Hotel has also been highly recommended for its location, at just a one-minute walk away from the beach. You will get to stay in simple, clean rooms with nautical themes and huge windows, to enhance your view of the water. Breakfast is only an additional 3 USD, so don’t miss out on adding this option – especially when previous guests have raved about their “perfect” coffee.
8. Prichal 80 Hotel (from USD 40)
Last but not least, we have the Prichal 80 Hotel. We’re sure staying here will make you miss home a little less, with its beautiful, minimalist wooden interior and floor to ceiling windows that open up to the beach. Step outside and your feet will immediately hit the sand. Just a little further along, you will come across the hotel’s barbeque facilities and its activities centre, which includes a great children’s playground. For the adrenaline junkies, simply speak to a member of the hotel staff and they will tell you all you need to know about their windsurfing programme, as well as their other water sports on offer. If you’d like to try some of the local food, wander out to the supermarket - a mere five-minutes away - or pop by the many restaurants and cafes in the district. Also, did we mention that the hotel even has its own yacht club?
To the beach!
Beautiful Zatoka will leave you with wonderful memories and we at Trip101 hope that this list is helpful in narrowing down your accommodation options. Happy holidays!
