Holiday Club Kuusamon Tropiikki

I had read the reviews and they were not very positive, so I went with rather low expectations, there were not many other accommodation options in the area. When we arrived, we were already charmed by the hotel from the outside - a nice low building that fit into the surroundings, the interior design was in a lovely mountain hut style, which left a close to nature and cozy impression. Yes, the parquet and the furniture in the room were a little worn, but we took this hotel more as a "ski base" than a luxurious stopover, so there are no complaints. The only thing that bothered us were the gaming machines in the corridor, they were quite close to our room and the visitors played them very loudly, but luckily the noise was not much heard from our room. There are cross-country ski tracks right next to the hotel, the hotel room was large and comfortable, with cozy lighting, the shower had good pressure and pleasantly hot water - everything worked well! Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the spa, because it was just closed when we arrived, but looking in to the window, there were plenty of opportunities to enjoy the jacuzzi. Separately, I would point out the excellent breakfast - a very wide selection, very tasty dishes and very much taken into account for food intolerances, excellent!

The hotel is perfectly located a little out of Kuusamo town. Good cross-country skiing tracks that are constantly maintained. Very good breakfast and the best coffee I have drunk in any Finnish hotels. Snowshoes for hire and not expensive. Good that you can use the spa even more than once a day (provided that you buy that type of room). Car rental is available at the airport that is some 6 km-s from the hotel.

We liked the spa and the hotel area. There were lots of activities to do.

Hotel is big and there is restaurant and a food shop 14 hours a day. Beeakfast various and good.
