Latvia's Hidden Gem: Saulkrasti Seaside Paradise! (Rabarberi LV #R2)
Saulkrasti Seaside Paradise: Unfiltered Review (Rabarberi LV #R2) - Because Life's Too Short for Fussy Hotels!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Latvia's Hidden Gem: Saulkrasti Seaside Paradise (Rabarberi LV #R2). Forget sterile, corporate reviews. This is a warts-and-all, real-person take. And trust me, after my stay, I’m craving a Rabarberi-style escape again.
First Impressions… and the Great Internet Quest (or Lack Thereof!)
Arriving at Saulkrasti, you already feel the breeze. Not just any breeze, the sea breeze. Lovely. The whole area feels… untouched. Less polished than, say, some glitzy resort, which is genuinely appealing if you're, like me, slightly allergic to overly-perfect.
Accessibility & The Wi-Fi Saga:
Now, I'm not mobility-challenged myself, but I did notice the place seemed to be trying with accessibility. There are facilities for disabled guests, which is already a win. The elevators were a godsend (because those stairs after a seaside walk, yikes).
The Wi-Fi, though…. Ah, the Wi-Fi. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms?! Yes! Internet? Yes! Wi-Fi in public areas? Yes! Internet [LAN]? Yes! The reality, sometimes, was like a Latvian folk song - beautiful, but… a little unreliable. Let's just say, streaming my favorite Latvian comedy show, "Zaķīši" (Little Rabbits), proved a challenge. I had to switch to reading an actual book. Gasp… It was a nice change.
Cleanliness & COVID-Consciousness: Peace of Mind, with a Touch of OCD (in a Good Way!)
Okay, I'm a bit of a germaphobe. Not full Howard Hughes, but I notice things. Rabarberi are on it. The daily disinfection, the hand sanitizer everywhere, the individually-wrapped food options… it all feels very safe and considered. They even had anti-viral cleaning products. Seriously, they’re practically weaponizing cleanliness. But… no one likes a sterile prison.
Rooms: Cozy, Not Cramped. And Those Blackout Curtains? MVP status.
My room was nice. Not palatial, but cozy. Loved the blackout curtains. Seriously, crucial. You can't beat a solid sleep after a long day. And extra long beds? Genius. The bathroom was clean and functional. The complimentary tea and free bottled water were little touches that made a difference. And the in-room safe gave me some peace of mind about my precious passport (and secret chocolate stash, shhh!). The slippers* and bathrobes were comfy.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Seafood Heaven Meets Baltic Comfort Food
Okay, THIS is where Rabarberi truly shines. The restaurants! The buffet was a gorgeous array of options. I devoured the fish dishes, cooked with local ingredients and skill. The poolside bar was perfect for a casual drink and some people-watching (guilty!). The vegetarian restaurant provided a welcome change. There's a coffee shop for a quick pick-me-up. And the breakfasts? Chef's kiss. Western breakfast with a strong cup of coffee to start your day. And the Asian breakfast was a wonderful experience. Desserts in the restaurant are a must. The soup and salad in the restaurant are a great choice. Bottle of water is always available.
The Spa & Wellness (A Deep Dive into My Happy Place!)
Now, let's talk spa. This is where I lost all track of time. The pool with a view was glorious. I spent a solid hour just staring at the horizon. Then, the sauna. And… the massage. Oh, the massage. Forget about work, forget about the world. It was pure bliss. And the body scrub was amazing. This is what vacations are for. The steamroom was a welcome addition. And the foot bath was just what I needed after my seaside walk. The Spa/sauna combination is pure heaven. They also have a fitness center, though I'm not sure I made it there.
Things to Do: Beyond Relaxation (If You Can Drag Yourself Away from the Pool)
Saulkrasti is a perfect escape. You have the beach right there, but beyond that… well, it's all up for exploration. I did some seaside walks, and then retreated back to the spa.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
They offer pretty much everything, from laundry service to a concierge. They've thought of everything, making my life feel like an easy-breezy vacation! Daily housekeeping kept things tidy. The shop offered gifts.
For the Kids & Family: While I was solo on this trip, I noticed the place is definitely family-friendly. There’s a babysitting service offered.
Safety, Security, and Peace of Mind:
I felt safe and secure the entire time. The 24-hour front desk and security gave me some peace of mind. They had fire extinguishers and smoke alarms.
Bottom Line: Is Rabarberi LV #R2 Worth It?
YES. Absolutely, unequivocally, YES. It's not the fanciest place I've ever stayed, but it's got a charm, a soul, and a commitment to making your stay comfortable and relaxing. If you're looking for a genuinely chill, seaside escape, look no further.

Nairobi's Hidden Gem: Embassy Hotel's Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, Buttercups! 'Cause this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're heading to Saulkrasti, Latvia, specifically the Rabarberi LV #R2 - SeaSide Village. And let me tell you, between you and me and this dodgy wifi, I'm already feeling a weird mix of "OMG, beach!" and "Did I pack enough socks?" Here's the loose, absolutely-not-set-in-stone plan. Let's call it… "Ragnar's Rambles in Rabarberi: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Baltic Breeze."
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Great Sock Inventory
- 14:00 - 15:00: Arrival & The Great Luggage Wrestle: Okay, so getting here was already a minor catastrophe. The train was late, I nearly lost my passport (it was in my passport holder, classic me), and the taxi driver looked at me like I’d sprouted a second head when I asked for "a scenic route." BUT, we made it! The Rabarberi Village looks… picturesque. Small wooden cabins, a whiff of pine, and a distinct lack of screaming children (so far). Ugh. Did I mention the socks? I'm pretty sure I overpacked. I need to sit and think.
- 15:00 - 16:00: Cabin Check-in and Initial Panic: Keys in hand! My little cabin is… compact. Cozy. Let's be honest, tiny. There's a bed, a miniscule bathroom, and a view of… a bush. Okay, not terrible. But now I'm inspecting everything trying to look for spiders, or the lack of spider-catching devices. So if you feel a chill, I'm probably staring in a corner for some web-like menace to appear.
- 16:00 - 17:00: The Grocery Run & Language Barriers (and the Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry): Time to brave the local shop. "Labdien!" I mumbled, feeling like I was about to take a test in a language I vaguely remembered from a summer course. My basket, on the other hand, looks like a disaster. Do they even HAVE decent coffee here? Did I get the right cheese? The cashier's face was a study in polite bewilderment. Got some terrible bread too. I got some apples… I think.
- 17:00 - 19:00: Unpacking the Soul & Appreciating the Silence: I finally got the socks sorted, put my stuff where things go in my room, and now I'm trying to decompress in the cabin. This is a great time to appreciate the quiet. The sounds of the wind, and the waves, it is good for the soul.
- 19:00 - 20:00: Dinner… or, What Did I Actually Buy for Dinner?: Eating from the grocery I got. The bread is terrible, but I'm doing well. The apples will keep me alive I suppose.
- 20:00 - Bedtime: Stargazing from the cabin, or at least trying to identify any constellations I remember. Night, world.
Day 2: Beach Bliss & The Perils of Sunburn (and Sand in Everything)
- 09:00 - 10:00: Breakfast & The Coffee Conundrum: The coffee situation is grim. But, hey, I think I have some juice. Breakfast is just okay. I'd rather be having some coffee.
- 10:00 - 13:00: The Beach! (and the Sunburn Scare): THIS is what I came for! The beach at Saulkrasti is pretty stunning, not going to lie. Pure sand, a cool breeze, and the Baltic Sea looking all moody and dramatic. I found a good spot, laid out my towel, and then… forgot about the relentless Latvian sun. Lesson learned: sunscreen is your friend! Sunburn is NOT.
- 13:00 - 14:00: Lunch: Sand, Salt, and a Slightly Burnt Sandwich: I made a sandwich. Got sand everywhere. Ate it anyway. Beach life, baby!
- 14:00 - 16:00: Beachcombing & Existential Dread: Wandered along the shore, looking for shells and pondering the mysteries of… well, everything. The vastness of the sea does that to you, you know? Found a really cool smooth stone. Then I dropped it.
- 16:00 - 17:00: Nap Time? Maybe Not: I'm too hot from the sun. I can't sleep.
- 17:00 - 19:00: Back to the Cabin, Shower, Maybe a Quiet Existential Crisis: The shower feels AMAZING. The existential dread is still lingering. Maybe I'll read a bit.
- 19:00 - 20:00: Dinner & The Great Book Debate: Dinner again. Now I'm going to read my book.
- 20:00- Bedtime: Time to turn off the lights.
Day 3: The Saulkrasti Cycle & A Wild Goose Chase (Probably)
- 09:00 - 10:00: Breakfast & The Elusive Good Coffee: Still searching for that perfect cup. Now I'm thinking the only way to make a good coffee is to sneak into someones house and make it, but that is probably illegal.
- 10:00 - 13:00: Cycling Adventure (or, The Perils of Overestimating Your Fitness): Rabarberi has bikes for rent! Brilliant! I took off, feeling all adventurous and ready to embrace the Latvian countryside. Turns out, I needed more breaks than I anticipated. My legs are screaming. I think I saw a wild goose. Or a really big duck. Either way, it was majestic.
- 13:00 - 14:00: Lunch & The Questionable Lunch Stop: Found a little cafe. The food was… interesting. I'm starting to think I'll just eat apples for the rest of the week.
- 14:00 - 16:00: Return & the Sweet Taste of Defeat: The ride back was brutal. Every hill felt like Mount Everest. I'm now officially claiming my prize for most sunburnt, most tired, and possibly the most delusional traveler.
- 16:00 - 17:00: Rest: Rest. I need it.
- 17:00 - 19:00: A Little Walk: I'm going for a walk.
- 19:00 - 20:00: Dinner: Dinner again.
- 20:00- Bedtime: I'm going to sleep so now, and I will sleep well.
Day 4: The Last Day
- 09:00 - 10:00: Breakfast: Still no coffee, but I am working on it.
- 10:00 - 13:00: The Beach Part 2 I'm going back. I am going to enjoy the beach, one last time.
- 13:00 - 14:00: Lunch: Same as it ever was.
- 14:00 - 16:00: Packing and Memories: Time to pack.
- 16:00 - 17:00: Departure: Goodbye Rabarberi!
Overall Feeling: Slightly sunburnt, slightly food-deprived, but surprisingly content. Latvia, you weird, beautiful place, I'll be back!
