Not a Health Centre, but a Sanitorium for ill folk
Posted 27 Sep 2020 on HotelsThis property is an old hospital recently (and very well) renovated, but is in reality a sanitorium/- convalescence place for seriously ill folk (many of which have had surgery) stumbling around bandaged, using walkers, wheelchairs, etc., helped by blue gowned nurses. The place has a clinical atmosphere with tiled floors and ceilings and a real rabbit warren.
It may well be a 3 star recuperation centre, but offers only mediocre "hotel" service, i.e. breakfast is the most basic possible, but coffee is ok. Open 0800 to 1000hrs and dishes never replenished after 0930hrs. The place is a canteen for any meal - there are no restaurants and meals are at set times. There are no bars and told no alcohol except in the outside establishment (that was now closed for the summer). The pool is only available during breakfast hours and from 1900hrs for 2 hrs as it is used for patient water therapy during the day.
We complained and got an upgrade to a "suite" with a loose bathroom sink and malfunctioning tap. Flooring was laminate or vinyl and bitterly cold underfoot, with no possibility of wiping ones' feet. The bed was circular with ill fitting sheets (from the 60's !) and very uncomfortable.
We were asked not to give a poor review and they gave my lady two massage sessions - we expected a masseuse, but it was 2 x 20 minutes in a vibrating water "bed".
Miles from anywhere, the beach, even in season, has no amenities, although the bracing sea air was in abundance & free.
Totally overpriced !

Energetikas was overbooked
Posted 24 Sep 2014We booked originally the Health Center Energetikas, but when we arrived they did not have any rooms for us. Keep in mind, the Energetikas is a health resort in the first place and they had many patients that summer. They did a great job by switching us over to the Amber Palace across the street. For breakfast we still had to go back to the Energetikas, but was not really an issue. The Amber Palace is of course a brand new hotel with comfortable rooms. Although it is lacking air conditioning and you have to climb up about 13 stairs with suitcases to get to the reception area.

It is a funky place, clean, nice but different
Posted 9 Jul 2013
Pros: Clean with a friendly staff
Cons: Knowledge about the Bike Route - Europe Route 1 -would be handy if they knew which bridge was on the route. I figured it out but I read Lithuanian
Location: Beach, walking paths through an on site sculpture park, swimming in the pool, massage, the boardwalk scene in Sventoje - kind of like New Jersey.
In the USA we haven't had recovery spas as part of our medical system since the early 1900's, this is a medical rehab/recovery facility with extra rooms available. It is a short walk to a nice beach and a short walk to the resort village/boardewalk scene of Sventoje. If you can imagine a hospital Physical Therapy suite having overnight rooms then you may be able to visualize this place. The rooms are clean and nice but plain, and in keeping with their rehab mission they have pools, excercise rooms, massage facilities, but no WiFi or Internet and limited TV. The on site cafe does not take credit cards, so you need to have the correct currency, it does stay open late (10pm) and it has a bar and good food. The breakfast buffet is nice with a fairly wide range of hot and cold foods, juices, coffee, kefir, etc. They are a few 100 feet off the bike route from Latvia to Kaliningrad and about a mile off of Via Baltica in a beautiful natural setting, we saw Swans and Storks while bicycling in from the highway (we didn't know about the bike route yet). The staff has excellent English speaking skills and was really friendly. They seem to be doing a lot of remodeling so I'm guessing things will get fancier. Our room had a balcony overlooking the forest and we could hear the waves crashing on the beach beyond the trees. They had a funny suspension bridge where people crowd each other in both directions to get into the village of Sventoje, ther is a normal bridge about a mile further south
