Stayed at the Melnais Starkis guesthouse for 10 nights i july 2007 with my wife and two kids. The place is nice and clean and has very friendly service. You can be served breakfast or prepare your own food in the common kitchen.

Planned to book a hotel in the Majori area, but was unable to find a reasonable priced hotel that was not fully booked. Ended up with this guest house, located at the other end of Jurmala and about 16 km from Majori. The guesthouse is located only 400 m form the beach, and there is a good resturant across the road. However, this is just about all there is in Jaunkemeri. The nearest shop and next resturant is located in Kauguri 4 km away.

The local buses along the coast goes by just about every half an hour, or you can take the local taxi wich proably will charge you twice the normal rate of 0,5 LVL/ km.

NB. Check out the resturant "Kurins" located at the beach outside Kauguri. This is a popular place among the locals... more
