I had a truly magical experience at the resort, where the unique glass accommodations allowed me to immerse myself in the stunning Lapland environment. Exceptional service and delicious food made my stay even more enjoyable. While I absolutely loved the winter wonderland atmosphere, I found the location had a slight drawback with light pollution affecting my view of the northern lights. Overall, this place is perfect for a romantic getaway or family adventure.

My stay at the resort was truly magical, surrounded by the enchanting winter wonderland of Lapland. The unique glass accommodations provided an intimate experience with nature, while the exceptional service made every moment memorable. Although the dining options were gourmet, I felt that breakfast could have offered more variety. The relaxation facilities, like the private sauna and hot tub, were highlights, but I found the room a bit too warm at times. Overall, a splendid choice for a romantic getaway or family trip!

My stay at the resort was utterly delightful, with exceptional service that made every moment special.
