This superb hotel has everything a family could wish for on a Lapland break, and has proved over recent years to be the popular choice of most families travelling on my special breaks. The exciting indoor pool with its waves and chutes will keep the children amused for hours, and parents can watch from the comfort of the pool bar.
The evening meal can be enjoyed from 5-8pm in the atmospheric dining-room and is generally buffet style, with flexible timings allowing you to choose whether to eat together as a family, or get tired children earlier to bed, before enjoying an adult only dinner later on. With a choice of family rooms, suites and apartments, and the superb pool area, the Holiday Club makes an excellent base for your Lapland break. All Apartments are a short walk (3-5 minutes) from the main building set within a wooded area. All Family rooms and suites are within the main building of the hotel.
