This was a wonderful resort & we really did have an amazing experience, particularly as it snowed Christmas morning. Overall the room was lovely if a little small, and the staff very friendly. The spa was amazing - we absolutely loved it but keep in mind children need to be 14 & over to use it ( which we understand). The food was overall very good but expensive - the €200 Euro per person Christmas feast was not good value - we did not receive what was advertised either. Great location as out of Rovaniemi but not hard to get there by taxi. Appreciated the airport transfers. Unfortunately we missed the Northern lights - some kind of alert system would be helpful - we were led to believe they would be easy to see here ( they weren’t). But overall a great resort & would definitely recommend.
GGuest UserA beautiful holiday home from the outside and newly renovated from the inside. Unfortunately, this home is not maintained and it is coming no feeling good. The kitchen was not cleaned and the leftover dirt from the previous tenant, including a full fridge
