Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Apukka Resort is often praised for its unique lodging options, such as the Kammi Glass Igloo Suites that feature rooftop windows perfect for aurora viewing right from the comfortable double bed. Guests appreciate the delicious options from the A La Carte menu, particularly when dining in the Aita wooden hut. Many found the Lakeside Sauna and Artic Sauna experiences to be a real treat, though some guests have noted early morning noise from snow clearing. The resort also offers fun activities like snowy nature on horseback in the snow covered forest, and is conveniently located near Santa's Village.

fairytale stay under the aurora

rooftop window complimentary drink friendly cook
the rooftop window in the kammi glass igloo suite allowed for aurora viewing from bed. i appreciated the complimentary chocolate powder drink provided in the cabin. the breakfast buffet included many choices with a friendly thai cook who prepared omelets upon request.
some working machines started digging snow early in the morning near our cabin which let bright light in.

The resort allows aurora viewing without moving elsewhere. the lake is serene. It provides beautiful sunrise and sunset views. a complimentary four-seater cart allows area exploration and makes the whole stay even more magical.

helpful staffs repeated menu clean rooms inaccessible activities overpriced items room dust
The staffs appear helpful to me. Breakfast offered is adequate though the menu repeats itself. It would be more appreciated if they alternate the menu every other day. The rooms have been cleaned appropriately.
Some activities are not accessible. Shops and restaurants are a considerable distance from here. Everything available appears overpriced to me. Rooms were not dusted effectively. When I closed the curtains, I noticed dust particles everywhere.
