This review is part of my travel blog from our vacation. Jurmala was our second golf stop on our roadtip. My review is for golf and restaurant, we did no stay in the hotel. To reach a golf course without navigation would be a bit ask for me, but we did. Big parking lot everything close so no need to walk anywhere far. Checking at reception was quite fast and very friendly, they also accept Golfpiste card. Training areas are next to hotel and 1st tee, perfect. I rent buggy for my girlfriend so it also had GPS which helps a lot. Course is obviously quite flat since we are in baltic area. Quality is great once again fast greens with good roll, fairways wide and soft, quite tough roughs. Teeboxes well maintained, as well as all the markings so its easy to oriented. I have to admit Im not a big fan of design because there were not many trees, but its just what this land offer. Once again I did not have expectations, but was greatly surprised. I would not choose signature hole this time, maybe 9th for me. After game refreshment is perfect, great view from restaurant and awesome and quick food, like it very much. And big and nice locker rooms to get refresh after game. I can only recommend. Thank you for...
Read moreThe staff was very polite, welcoming and friendly upon my arrival as I was very much looking forward to playing the Jurmala course while on vacation.||The Locker Room was accommodating, not overly spacious, but did have lockable lockers so that was very nice.||The cart was parked outside the Pro Shop, along w/ my "Premium" set of rental clubs, and while the cart was nice and comfortable w/ a very nice GPS of the course, holes, greens and yardages, the rental clubs were laughable. A minimal set of Cleveland clubs, that had seen better days.||Course wise, there was nothing spectacular and no signature holes. For a Nicklaus designed course, I was expecting something a lot more memorable. ||After the round, I stopped at the Pro Shop as I wanted to purchase an item w/ the course logo. They had the requisite shirts and hats but NOTHING with the course logo on any item. No ball marker, no hats, no golf balls. This was quite disappointing.||Overall, my experience was underwhelming and I wished I had booked a different...
Read moreVery Disappointing Stay – No Response from Management - Not for travelling with child/children
We booked a room for three people (myself, my sister, and my 8-year-old daughter), but on arrival were given a room with just one small double bed. Despite my reservation clearly stating three guests, the only options offered were to share one bed, pay extra for another room, or cancel and leave. This was extremely frustrating and unprofessional.
Other issues also highlighted the poor standards: dirty public toilets, expired drinks in both rooms, a used bottle left under the bed, a faulty toilet flush, dirty wine bottle, kettles with scale, and only two towel sets in a room booked for three.
While the surroundings are beautiful and housekeeping did a decent job, the service was indifferent and far below five-star standards.
To make matters worse, hotel management never replied to my complaint, which shows a complete lack of...
