Lielupe Hotel SPA & Conferences by Semarah

The room was comfortable and provided a pleasant place to stay. The hotel is particularly convenient for guests arriving by car, with easy access and parking. It is accessible by public transport (15min walk from the train station). The location is also relatively close to the beach, and if you're looking for a quieter area away from the crowds, it can be a good option.

Overall, my experience was disappointing, especially given that I chose this hotel specifically for a relaxing wellness stay. Unfortunately, the wellness facilities were far from relaxing, particularly on Saturday. The swimming pool area was very noisy, with children screaming and jumping into the fast-swimming lane despite signs clearly stating that jumping was prohibited. The sauna experience was equally disappointing. Children were shouting inside, many guests were talking loudly, and at one point I even shared the sauna with a couple who were having an argument. Perhaps this is a cultural difference, but I am used to saunas being quiet spaces where guests can relax in peace. Although the breakfast buffet had plenty of options, the quality of many products felt rather low. The hotel restaurant was also underwhelming, and there are not many alternative dining options nearby, especially for those relying on public transport. In fact, without a car, the location feels somewhat isolated and far from most amenities. Finally, I booked a classic massage, which unfortunately turned out to be one of the worst massages I have ever received. I was told it would be a strong massage, but it was not, and the overall quality of the treatment was disappointing.

The pool and sauna areas are fantastic and the restaurant and included breakfast are huge and delicious.

There are only 2 elevators which are very busy so plan to wait. Also there is no place to get any coffee before 7am, they would benefit greatly from having a coffee vending machine on-site.

The hotel is so beautiful, the pool, the sauna and the Turkish bath area are incredible! The breakfast is exceptional as well. The bar is great and serves all kind of drinks and cocktails. Staff are so friendly and helpful! The hotel is close to a great beach with a great bar/restaurant that serves great drinks, cocktails and offers grilled meat and fish as well. It was so delicious and the atmosphere was great!

The hotel is close to a great beach, however, far away from Jurmala and we had to take a Bolt taxi. We couldn’t smoke on the balcony of our room, as it was forbidden and had to go all the way down to smoke in front of the hotel. This wasn’t a big issue overall.

Close to the beach. Spa had unlimited access and ok saunas and jacuzzi. Good bathroom and views in room. A couple of nice restaurants nearby.

Only two elevators - long waits at all times. Awful reception, no welcome or apology when booking could not at first be found. Poor and crowded breakfast. No blockout curtains - very difficult to sleep. Weird parking system (had to validate token every time you left). Overall definitely not deserving the 9 rating.
