Overall, excellent customer service from all departments, Food & Beverage for breakfast, lunch and dinner is flawless and the rooms fantastically warm and cozy under the glass igloo ceilings. We highly recommend this resort to all types af travelers.

Really warm and flexible service, peaceful atmosphere and cosy restaurant, good value for money during off-season. A short drive from Rovaniemi and airport and close to nice hikes, try for example Ounasvaara nature trail.

Some minor improvement suggestions would be a little less costly opportunities for sauna-goers, faster replenishment of breakfast buffet items and maybe a bedside table and lamp for reading in the aurora cabins/igloos.

The igloo glass roof was nice for star-gazing and the superior version had a small vestibule which is probably great in the wintertime to keep the living/sleeping space warmer.

Overall a nice experience and good base for expliring the surroundings. Got there by night train and car rental, but they can help with transfers too.

We stayed at Apukka for our honeymoon, first in one of the apartments and then for two nights in an Aurora Cabin.

The resort is in a good location: close to Santa Claus Village, the city and the airport, with reasonably regular bus services. Take a look at the timetable for the normal service buses as well as the shuttle bus (as they offer more options).

There are also plenty of activities which operate from the resort, meaning no need to travel whether you want to go on a reindeer ride, snow shoeing or on a trip to try to find the Northern Lights. We took part in a couple of activities at the resort, and they were both run professional, knowledgeable and friendly guides.

The accommodation was good - the apartment was spacious and well resourced, and the Aurora Cabin comfortable and perfect for Northern Lights spotting. If you're staying for a while I'd recommend booking the apartment for most of your time and the Aurora Cabin for the final few nights to get the best value for money.

The reception staff were very helpful and went out of their way to help us on a number of occasions.

The restaurant was good, both the quality and range of the food and the service. My only criticism would be that the buffet option was overpriced for what it was. Whilst the main course was often good, the starters and desserts were usually uninspiring and at €40 each we tried to avoid it.

Whilst obviously there are no guarantees, we saw the Northern Lights four times during our nine night stay. The frozen lake was a particularly good place to stand but the Aurora Cabin also offered a great view.

Overall we had a great honeymoon and would recommend Apukka to other travellers.
