Okay, Here We Go! (Deep Breath)
So, the brochure promised… everything. And let's be honest, when you're staring down a potential vacation, that kind of promise makes you both unbelievably excited and, let's face it, deeply suspicious. Baltic Beach Bliss in Neuburg. I’m pretty sure that was the name. Looked great online. Let's get the ball rolling, shall we?
Accessibility: The First Hurdle (and Spoiler: Sometimes a Sideways Shuffle)
Right, accessibility. This is massive for me, and Baltic Beach Bliss sounded like they had it covered. Listed “Facilities for disabled guests” and “Elevator” etc. Good signs, right? Wrong. The flat was listed as wheelchair-accessible, which was the main reason I even considered this place. Getting to the entrance, the "accessible" path had some… challenging inclines. I mean, not Everest, but definitely needed a boost (thanks, lovely porter!).
Inside, things were better, but not perfect. The elevator was… well, an elevator. Worked fine. The flat itself had wide doorways, which was excellent. The bathroom? Mostly good, but the grab bars felt a little… wobbly. Honestly, it's the little things. It's also worth noting that the on-site restaurants, and the bar? They’re technically accessible, but some tables are cramped. The real issue? It's all stuff-stuff-stuff that they say is accessible, but it doesn't always match the experience. It’s a bit of a mixed bag. They try, but the execution, needs work.
On-Site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Food, Glorious (Mostly) Food… and Some Questionable Seating
As I said, restaurants. There were a couple listed. The buffet, which was a major selling point for them, was pretty standard. The food was good, but the layout was, again, a bit… challenging. Navigating the buffet with a wheelchair was like a game of bumper cars. Not ideal when you’re trying to carefully balance a mountain of pastries.
My advice? The à la carte restaurant. Much calmer. The food? Actually pretty damn good! International cuisine, good coffee… and that little slice of chocolate cake… chef's kiss. Just watch the table spacing – some tables are way too close together for comfortable maneuvering.
Wheelchair Accessible: The Fine Print No One Reads
See above. It's not just about the ramp. It's about the whole experience. The tight corners and the slightly-too-far-away power outlets, y'know? They say it’s accessible, but the "accessible" flat felt more like mostly accessible.
Internet Access: The Modern Necessity (and the Occasional Frustration)
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Yes! Excellent! And mostly reliable. Except, of course, when I, you know, really needed it – like, to upload that epic photo of the sunset. In the name of all that is holy, give us decent internet, people! Yes, there was also Internet [LAN], but who uses that anymore?
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa, Spa, Spa! (and a Few Unexpected Mishaps)
This is where Baltic Beach Bliss truly shines. The spa. Oh. My. God. The spa. The pool with a view! The sauna, the steam room… it was a dream. I spent an entire afternoon just melting into a massage. I needed that body scrub and body wrap – the stress of the journey was starting to show. (Don't judge – the "dream Neuburg flat" had some minor glitches.) And no, I didn't just lounge around. I actually went to the fitness center… for, like, 15 minutes. Then, I was back in the sauna. Priorities.
Now, a couple of small niggles. First, the foot bath was… a bit tepid. I like my foot baths scalding! Second, and this is not a complaint, but an observation: The pool with a view is spectacular. But, if you really want to relax, go during the off-season. There were kids jumping in and splashing everywhere. But, you know, that's life, right?
Cleanliness and Safety: COVID-Considerations and Beyond
So, COVID. They took it seriously. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Staff masked up. Room sanitization opt-out available (nice touch!). The daily disinfection in common areas and the hot water linen and laundry washing were reassuring. Individually-wrapped food options were a bit overkill, but hey, better safe than sorry. Did I feel safe? Absolutely. They earned a proper hygiene certification.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Food, Glorious Food! (Again!)
The restaurants, as mentioned, were a mixed bag, but the à la carte menu was top-notch. Asian breakfast? Delightful! The pool bar was a godsend for quick drinks and snacks. Happy hour? Yes, please! The only thing I could fault (and this is a minor one) is that the vegetarian restaurant was… underwhelming. Mostly, though, excellent variety.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference (and Some That Don't)
Air conditioning in public areas? Thank God! The elevator, as I mentioned, was a sanity-saver. The concierge was friendly and helpful. The convenience store was convenient. But honestly? The thing I loved most? The daily housekeeping! Coming back to a clean, fresh room after a day at the spa… that’s living the dream. And the complimentary tea? Simple pleasures, but a winner!
For the Kids: Babysitting, Kids Meals, and All That Jazz
I didn’t travel with kids, but it looked very family-friendly. I saw kids' facilities, a babysitting service listed, and a kids meal option, which is always a win. But, I am not a parent.
Getting Around: Parking, Transfers, and the Great Car vs. Taxi Debate
Free car park on-site! Winner! Although, it got pretty busy. Airport transfer offered, which, depending on your arrival, sounds great. I used a taxi service, which was also fine. Consider all options, depending on your travel style. Valet parking? Fancy. But, I wasn’t that fancy.
Available in All Rooms: The Nitty-Gritty (and the Annoyances)
Air Conditioning: Essential. Alarm Clock: Unused. Bathrobes: Soft and fluffy. Coffee/tea maker: Crucial. Extra long bed: Always a plus. High floor: Loved it! (Awesome views.) Mini-bar: A bit overpriced, but convenient. Smoke detector: Good! Slippers: Heavenly. And the Wi-Fi? (Okay, mostly good.)
The One Thing That Sucked (and I Gotta Tell You About It)
Okay, here's where the dream cracked a little. My room decorations? I asked for a room with a view… and they gave me one. But, the room was right next to a noisy ventilation system. CONSTANT HUM. I mentioned it at the front desk, but nothing changed. This is the kind of small detail that can really ruin an otherwise great stay. It might not be a huge point, but it was an absolute irritant.
So, Was It a Dream? (The Verdict)
Baltic Beach Bliss is mostly a dream. The spa is incredible. The food is generally good. The staff is friendly. The location is fantastic. The accessibility? It's trying. The downsides are small (the noise from the machine) but noticeable, and in general, that "dream" feel is just a bit… off.
Final Thoughts (Because I Have to Have Them!)
Would I go back? Yes. Would I give it a perfect score? Nope. Baltic Beach Bliss is a solid choice, but it’s not perfect. It's imperfect. It's human. It's… real.
Luxury Liebenfels Apartment: Ski-In/Ski-Out Paradise in the Austrian Alps!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is… well, this is my attempt to vacation in Neuburg, Germany, right near the Baltic Sea. And let me tell you, even planning it was a comedy of errors. But hey, that's life, innit? Let’s get REAL:
The Neuburg Debacle: Attempt 1.0 (aka "Operation Sun and Sand … and Maybe a Meltdown")
Day 1: Arrival & (Mostly) Unpacking - The Illusion of Order Crumbles, Quickly.
- 13:00: Arrive at the apartment. (Keyword: attempt). Thought I was being smart booking a place right on the edge, right by the beach. Turns out, "edge" means a 10-minute death march carrying luggage that feels like it’s full of lead, up a hill. German efficiency? Lies! My legs? Screaming!
- 13:30: Key fumbling. Panic ensues. The lock mocks me. Finally get in. Apartment is… fine. Clean, functional, but that beige tapestry of a couch is giving me serious 1980s vibes. Plus, the smell. Not bad, not good. Just… a smell. Like a faint hint of old newspapers and… sadness?
- 14:00: Unpacking. HA! More like attempting to unpack. Clothes exploding everywhere. The suitcase zipper, a casualty of my overpacking habit. Realizing I forgot my power adapter… and my favourite socks. The sock tragedy is particularly devastating.
- 15:00: The Beach! Okay, maybe not the beach. Realized the sun is setting at the same time as my stomach starts singing its song which is rather high pitched. So, food first. Finding a grocery store is like a treasure hunt in a foreign land. Also realized the only German I know is "danke" (thank you), which is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
- 16:00: Found a little bakery. The smell of fresh bread nearly knocked me out. Ordered something I thought was a cheese pastry. Turns out…it was some sort of very dense, very savory monstrosity, more akin to brick than breakfast. Ate it anyway. Starvation is a powerful motivator.
- 17:00: Finally the beach! HOLY. GRAIL. The Baltic Sea isn't the turquoise of the postcards, it's more… steely grey. But the air? Crisp, salty, and ridiculously refreshing. Took a deep breath, and for a fleeting moment, felt… happy. Even forgot about the disastrous cheese pastry. For about two minutes. Then the wind picked up and the sand started to sting my face. Not ideal.
- 18:00: Back at the apartment. Survived the beach. Success! Now, time to figure out how to use the washing machine without accidentally flooding the entire place. Wish me luck.
- 19:00: Washing machine successfully conquered. Victory! Reward: a bottle of local something (suspect it might be wine, judging by the label). Deciding to embrace the “messy” part of the trip fully.
- 20:00: Supper, and another, smaller, existential crisis (I can't believe I forgot to pack real mustard).
- 21:00: Collapse on beige couch. Contemplating the meaning of life, the perfect beach read, and whether I should sneak out for a late-night ice cream run. The ice cream wins. Always.
Day 2 : The "Culture" Day… More Like "Lost Tourist" Day
- 9:00: Woke up. It wasn't as well-rested as I had hoped. But, the sun is shining, and no one has mentioned me being weird yet, a plus.
- 10:00: Found a map of Neuburg. The map is German, of course. The instructions are in German. I give up. Decided to follow my nose. That's a plan, right?
- 11:00: Attempted to locate a famous lighthouse. After walking in circles for approximately an hour, I began to suspect the lighthouse was a myth.
- 12:00: Found a random cafe. Ordered coffee. Realized I needed to practice my very broken German. My pronunciation of "Kaffee" (coffee) must have been atrocious because the waiter looked at me like I'd just sprouted a second head. He brought me coffee anyway, bless him.
- 13:00: Wandered into a church. Beautiful, quiet. Felt a pang of… something. But I can’t tell if it was peace or just intense hunger.
- 14:00: Stumbled upon a small museum. Filled with dusty artifacts and signs in German. Enjoyed it anyway, even if I didn't understand a thing.
- 15:00: The beach. Again. And decided to sit by the water and just… be. Sun on my face, the sound of the waves, the general feeling of "I can't believe I actually made it here".
- 16:00: Found a little shop selling… everything. Picked up a random souvenir, purely because I can't leave without one.
- 17:00: Back at the apartment. Considering making dinner. Considering just eating a loaf of bread. The bread wins.
- 18:00: Watched the sun go down. The sky was a riot of colors, so I think I've found a new hobby: sunset-watching.
- 19:00: The local wine is empty. Now, I think I'll just order more.
Day 3: Beach Day, Rematch
- 9:00: Woke up. I don't even want to talk about it.
- 10:00: The beach! This time, armed with a book (and a healthy dose of sunscreen) and a giant inflatable flamingo.
- 11:00: Tried to read. Flipped a page. Felt the sun on my face. Started to actually relax. The sky got more amazing.
- 12:00: Nap time. A slightly salty, sandy nap. Woke up to a seagull eyeing my sandwich. Defeated the seagull.
- 13:00: Tried swimming. The Baltic Sea is, let's just say, bracing. But, I did it! And then walked the length of the beach.
- 14:00: People watching, which is really great. Watched some kids build a sandcastle that looked like a freaking fortress.
- 15:00: Had the best ice cream ever.
- 16:00: Decided the beach is my spirit animal. Am considering just applying to live here. Forever.
- 17:00: The beach has, somehow, re-oxygenated my brain.
- 18:00: More wine, more sunset.
- 19:00: Contemplating a repeat of the perfect ice-cream experience.
- 20:00: A moment of pure, simple, unexpected joy. I won't go into detail. Suffice to say, Neuburg, you’ve got me.
Final Thoughts:
This itinerary? It was a disaster. Plans got derailed. I got lost, I got sunburnt, I ate weird food. But, you know what? It was also the best kind of disaster. It was real. It was messy. It was mine. And that, my friends, is what a vacation should be.
P.S. If anyone knows how to get rid of this faint, lingering smell of old newspapers and sadness, please tell me.

Baltic Beach Bliss: Neuburg Flat FAQs – (Prepare Yourself!)
Okay, so… what *exactly* is Baltic Beach Bliss? Sounds a bit, well, *too* good to be true.
Alright, alright, I get it. "Bliss" is a big word. Let's just say...it's a charming little flat, practically *snuggled* up to the beach in Neuburg. Think sand between your toes (eventually, after you've actually *gotten* to the beach, which took me three days last time, thanks to that rogue GPS!), views that make your jaw drop, and the potential for a seriously relaxing getaway. But yeah, it’s not a palace. It’s…cozy. Think, IKEA with a sea view. Which, frankly? I'm here for it.
Is it *really* on the beach? Like, can I roll out of bed and onto the sand? (Please say yes!)
Well, *almost*. Look, the website paints a picture of immediate beach access, which is, strictly speaking, *true*. But, the "access" involves a small flight of stairs. And a very determined seagull who apparently *despises* Crocs. I swear, that bird... Anyway, close enough! It's just a quick stroll. You're practically on the beach, assuming you're not battling rogue seagulls or questionable fashion choices.
What's the flat *actually* like? Tell me about the important stuff! (The coffee maker, people!)
Okay, okay, *details*! The important bits. Let's see... The coffee maker is… functional. Don't expect a barista-quality experience. I brought my own French press last time. (Smartest decision EVER.) The kitchen is… adequate. You can *probably* cook something simple. I mostly lived on local bakery goods and ice cream. Priorities, people! The bed is… comfortable. I actually slept well, which is a miracle because I have a sleep like I'm a tiny, anxious squirrel. The view? Utterly breathtaking. Seriously, worth the price of admission *alone*. Even when the fog rolls in (which it does, a lot). The Wi-Fi? Spotty. Embrace the digital detox. (I failed miserably, naturally.)
Is it clean? I'm a clean freak! (Or, you know, *relatively* clean...)
Let's say this: It's not the Ritz. But it's clean enough. You won't find dust bunnies the size of small dogs. I'm not *terribly* fussy, but I would have noticed a problem. The cleaner does a decent job, but it's not clinically sterile. Basically, you can relax. Breathe. You can find that thing on the floor and just get on with your holiday.
What’s Neuburg like? Is there anything to *do* there? Besides, you know, beaching.
Neuburg is… *charming*. In a very, "quaint German seaside town" kind of way. There are a few restaurants (try the fish! It's fresh!), a bakery (essential), some little shops (perfect for souvenirs, like seashells and, I don't know, miniature Viking helmets), and a pier. The pier is important. You must walk the pier. (And maybe get an ice cream. Always.) It’s perfect for a relaxing trip. But if you're expecting Vegas, you might be disappointed. I, however, loved it. It was refreshing!
Is it good for families? What about couples? Solo travelers?
Hmm… I think families would be fine. It's safe, the beach is right there (bonus!), and there’s plenty of space for kids to run around. Couples? Romantic! The views are stunning, and you can have some seriously lovely dinners with the beach as a backdrop. Solo travelers? Absolutely! It's a great place to recharge your batteries and escape the world, which is what I did, and it was perfect. Just be aware that it can get quiet, so bring some good books (or a very reliable Netflix connection, which, again, not guaranteed).
What was your *favorite* part? (And don’t say the coffee, because I know that was a disaster.)
Okay, okay, the coffee wasn’t great. Fine. My favorite part? One morning, I woke up, the sun was just painting the sky in these incredible colours. I got up, grabbed my (still slightly flawed) coffee, and went out on the little balcony. The sea was shimmering, the air was crisp, and I just... felt... at peace. Pure, unadulterated, maybe slightly caffeinated bliss. That one moment… that’s what made the whole trip worth it. Even the rogue seagull didn't ruin it. (Though he did *try*.) It's these tiny moments. It can't be bought. I'm getting all sentimental now, sorry.
What if I'm a travel snob? Will I hate it?
Look, if you’re the type who demands Michelin-star restaurants and five-star hotel service, then, probably, yes. You’ll probably find a lot to complain about. The Wi-Fi will frustrate you. The coffee will disappoint you. The slight "lived-in" feel of the flat will probably send you into a tailspin. But… if you're open to a slightly less glamorous, more authentic, and frankly, budget-friendly holiday, then maybe, just maybe, you'll fall in love with Baltic Beach Bliss, just like I did. You just need to lower your expectations, pack a good book, and embrace the charm. (And maybe bring your own coffee.)
What's the *worst* thing about it? Be honest!
Okay, honesty time. The *worst* thing? The parking. Finding a parking space near the flat can be a complete NIGHTMARE, especially in high season. I spent a solid hour driving around in circles, resembling a mad woman. Seriously consider taking the train or bus if you can. (And maybe, just maybe, I *did* get a bit aggressive with a little old lady once over a parking spot… apologies, if you happen to be reading this… and if that was actually you, I'm terribly sorry!) Also, the Wi-Fi. But honestly, I didn't mind. It forced me to unplug. A good thing, really. Just be prepared to go off-grid. And maybe bring extra data on your phone.
What about the neighbours?
