The whole experience was exceptional. Beautiful facilities, staff were terrific and the glass igloo was perfection. Short walk to Santa’s village meant there were plenty of activities too. I loved everything about this place.

Clean room, fantastic dinner at restaurant and delicious breakfast. Only have limited control of the heat temperature in the igloos so the smaller second bedroom was too hot (kept the window open all night in Jan!)

Elizabeth was excellent helping us check in and we ended up upgrading to the jacuzzi. It was well worth it and a wonderful place I was lucky enough to enjoy the northern lights from.
Food menu was limited but lovely and reasonable prices including the bar.
