We were in the sanatorium at the end of July (from the 22nd). The first thing that surprised me was the absence of electronic keys, cards and everything that the world has been living and using for more than 10 years. Absolutely everything (food stamps, cards, entering into the base of the sanatorium) - manually, in the old fashioned way on paper. We checked in for about 30 minutes. We went to the cashier twice to confirm the payment, which was transferred by bank transfer back in April. Any procedures, except bromine baths - for a fee. Checkout line up to 30 minutes. The food is good, the staff of the dining room (namely the dining room) is very friendly. This is perhaps the only plus of the resort. The territory is large, unkempt, and not suitable for anyone (especially for children). Getting to Jurmala (not to mention Riga) is a whole story that takes a lot of time, effort and money (because the only sure way to get out of there is to call a taxi and wait for it for 30-40 minutes). The number of rooms is terrible. It is impossible to find a more appropriate word. The shower is a hole in the floor, 10 centimeters from the toilet. Floors, furniture - everything is old. Pillows, mattresses have not changed since the opening of the sanatorium. The loggia, declared on the site, is a concrete balcony painted with white paint, in the middle of which a clothesline is stretched. We left within a day. We must pay tribute to the management - the money was returned without problems and in full, managed in just a couple of hours. and the last - they did not leave for the sanatorium at the end of July (from the 22nd).

It's very, very cold there. Check the weather archive. There was no sun at all during our stay. The temperature did not rise above 18 gr. Children (10.5 and 2.5 years old) constantly walked around in windbreakers, jeans and sneakers. And the last. A strong recommendation to loving parents and children: do not send your children or your parents there. Children simply have nothing to do there, except for trips to procedures (which are in Moscow. Salt caves in the Valuevo sanatorium, for example), and parents will never say that they feel bad there, and they will sit all 2 weeks that you paid them out of good intentions . Moreover, they will sit without the procedures they need, because the vast majority of them are paid, and many pensioners simply do not have the means to pay for them. A lot of guests during the day sit at the reception or on the 2nd floor near the stall, and simply do not know what to do with themselves. In a word, think carefully - do you, your children and parents need such a well-deserved rest.
