Came here for two nights to celebrate my husband's friend.
They settled us instantly, they didn’t even ask for a passport : ), only paper from the booking. They don’t speak Russian at the reception, only a Russian-speaking employee came across at the checkout. You need to fill out a card and understand where the number is, but here without half a liter, i. e. can't figure it out without a map : ).
Briefly describe the scheme of movements.
No matter what floor your room is on, you need to take the elevator (opposite the entrance) or the stairs (slightly to the right) to the second floor. Next you choose your A or B wing, we had the B with sea view. Turn into this wing. If you have a room on the second floor, then follow the arrows, and if the first or third, then look for a circular staircase, and then follow the signs. We got lost on the first day. We were lucky that the number was 316, it's not far from the stairs, and the corridors are there - you can easily run a hundred meters.

The room is small. There is a TV, but no refrigerator or air conditioner. The door to the balcony opens only for plowing, it cannot be put on airing, the window does not open. The balcony is big enough. Two chairs, no table. No smoking. When we stopped on the balcony there was a husk from seeds, it remained until departure. The floor on the balcony is concrete, you can't do without slippers. The shower and toilet have a common floor, but the water does not flow. Until I forgot about smoking. You can smoke on the second floor behind the pool and on the fourth floor near the elevators. It's easier to go outside.
Linen was not changed (we were 2 nights), new towels were put. The bed is comfortable enough, but the mattress is slipping. Asked for extra pillows. Bathrobes can be taken for 3 euros.
The view from the balcony is beautiful! The sun is setting right in front of you! And the ferries go back and forth all the time.
The pool is good and big. 25 meters, 6 lanes. The couple is usually busy with athletes. There are three baths - sauna, Turkish and aroma, I think. The husband, for whom we went and the pool was the main argument, was very pleased!
Behind the pool there is a patio with tables and sun loungers, you can sunbathe and watch the swimmers, which I did : )
Nearby, behind the yacht club, there is a beach. The sea is shallow, I thought that only in Jurmala it was like that, but here the depth is even further, the husband, it seems, did not reach, he swam on the level of the belt. There is one restaurant on the beach. The food is very good and the prices are reasonable.
Restaurant.
The restaurant is located on the fifth floor, which can only be reached by lift. On the first morning we were "lucky" - the alarm went off and the elevators were turned off. I really wanted coffee....the bar in the lobby is open from 9, you need to register in the casino....
We waited, arrived....The breakfast is good, plentiful. Omelet, eggs, pancakes, muesli, cheese / meat cuts, pate, cottage cheese, different breads. Juices, coffee (you can take it with you, there are disposable glasses), tea, milk. You won't leave hungry, everything is delicious!
In the evening we went for an ala-carte dinner. It was delicious! And serving, and dishes, and a compliment from the chef! If it works, I'll show you a photo. Delicious! A little hot, but before that we went to a nearby restaurant with an outdoor terrace, ordered..... waited....and they forgot about us....
You can dine in the lobby, a small menu, Russian-speaking staff. We didn't eat, we just drank : )

I forgot to tell you about the lawn mower - he starts work at 8 and rushes around on his typewriter with a loud roar, so don't oversleep breakfast.
We were lucky with the construction site, everything was quiet. On the second night, they brought equipment for laying asphalt, but we did not find the process itself. They've probably already done everything.
There is a supermarket next to the hotel (across the road). Bus stop. 12 minutes to the center, routes 1a, 8.24a (ticket 2 euros from the driver) There are almost always taxis near the hotel (about 8 euros), you can call Taxify, it will be cheaper.
A pleasant surprise was a compliment from the hotel - champagne and a plate of fruit for my husband on the other day (I wrote in advance).
Well, what can I say? Good hotel. Good pool. Jogging up the stairs and corridors only strengthens, it was not in vain that it was built for the Olympics. The restaurant is very good, but I do not advise you to take a buffet for dinner - there is practically no choice.
The view from Marina is amazing!
