What guests report

View

Rooms with park and sea views, particularly panoramic windows with visible pine forest and distant ocean vistas; rooms on lower floors may face parking lot

Bed & mattress

High-quality comfortable beds with good mattresses and quality linens, though some older rooms show wear

Bathroom & water

Inconsistent water pressure and temperature; modern bathrooms in newer rooms, though some feature cramped shower stalls with thin plastic curtains that flood easily

Wi-Fi

Non-functional in some rooms during peak occupancy; reception staff indicate this is 'normal due to excessive guests' suggesting unreliable connectivity

Breakfast

Outstanding quality buffet with exceptional variety, fresh juices, eggs Benedict, smoked salmon, pastries, and health-focused options consistently praised as best in Lithuania; worth the stay but repetitive menu after multiple days

AC / heating

Room heating/cooling described as functional but not emphasized; some guests mention uncomfortable room temperatures

Local knowledge

Book spa treatments in advance; reception staff report limited availability and sessions sometimes fully booked before arrival

Request a room in the Luxury building if you dislike sloped floors; the Design building has distinctive 5-degree angled floors and non-horizontal surfaces

Bring a bathrobe for the 2-3 minute walk to the spa in winter; path requires crossing through parking lot and street
