Our stay at the resort was a magical experience, highlighted by the stunning Northern Lights right from our cozy igloo. The activities offered were exhilarating, especially the husky sledding, which added the perfect adventure to our trip. However, dining experiences could be improved, as the food wasn't always served hot, and there were limited choices. Overall, the resort is a unique experience worth the price.

The resort offers stunning winter scenery and a unique experience with glass igloos designed for viewing the Northern Lights, but the dining options were a letdown and the service at times felt disorganized. Rooms are spacious and cozy, yet the high prices don't reflect the overall quality of the experience.

We had an amazing winter adventure at the resort, enjoying breathtaking views and exciting activities like husky sledding. The cabins were warm and cozy, making our stay comfortable. However, the dining options felt a bit limited and could use more variety. Additionally, the service was hit-or-miss, which detracted from our overall experience.

Our stay at the resort was quite the adventure, with stunning views of nature and unique accommodations in igloos. While many aspects were charming and offered a cozy atmosphere, the dining and service left much to be desired, which diminished our experience overall. Nonetheless, the wide variety of activities made up for some shortcomings.
