Dome Hotel

Location: The hotel is situated in the heart of old Riga, offering easy access to local attractions and restaurants while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere away from the busiest tourist streets. Guests appreciated the central position for exploring the city.

We are a couple from Scotland that wanted to experience the pleasures of the Turkey coast. We chose the Dome hotel Belek mostly due to its excellent reviews. The hotel, the sea view room, the food, the premium drinks, the sun beds, the beach, the swimming pools were all excellent. Of the six days weather, one was relatively wet and the following day though dry was very windy. On the other four days, the weather was excellent, not too hot and ideal for sun bathing. All these things would justify a five star rating. We were however left disappointed. There was virtually no entertainment, even on the wet and windy days, and after 9pm the hotel bars and lounges were virtually disserted. We normally enjoy socialising with other guests but in our six days we found no one to talk to. There was no welcome meeting at the hotel that might have identified other English speaking guests, but that was not arranged. As we have said the room was excellent but the large television had only four English speaking channels and these were all news channels. No English speaking sport or film channels or video facilities that would have been particularly welcome in the poor weather days. The hotel did arrange transport to the golf courses, about 3 minutes drive, but no other trips to local destinations that would have required us to book taxis. Our holiday rep suggested there was nothing worth visiting locally.

Excellent small boutique hotel. Central location near the dome with parking just around the corner for 30euro/day. Modern room and nice bathroom. Good breakfast selection, all fresh. Could use some cereal options although the granola and porridge were excellent. Great service.
