Santa's Hotel Tunturi

“Best Holiday ever”

Just on way home (reluctantly) from our 2 centre holiday with Inghams. We stayed at the Gielas wing of Hotel Tunturini then onto Wilderness hotel Moutka This was a trip of a lifetime/tick off bucket list holiday. Everything was amazing the organised trips Huskies, Reindeers, Snowmobiles, Snowshoeing and Toboggans!! Our Inghams Rep MATT was FIRST CLASS even before we stepped foot on the plane, we were nearly pen pals ! But as I have never done this holiday lots to ask ! Nothing was too much trouble for him and when I finally met him at airport it was like saying hello to a friend. Matt went out of his way to make sure everyone in our group had the best experience of their life and there were lots of people returning again this year as everything was so well lead. The food in the Gielas we had was a set menu, everything delicious! Food at Wilderness a buffet style but again everything delicious and everyone catered for GF Vegetarian etc. First night we were so lucky to see the Northern Lights and again twice more! I had originally booked this holiday just to see the Northern Lights, but there was so many BRILLIANT things to do even if you aren’t lucky enough to see lights! You won’t leave disappointed I normally do DIY holidays, but so glad we chose Lesley at Travel Counsellors and she chose Inghams ! MATTwe are going to MISS YOU so much, but we will be back …,.

“Xmas stay with TUI”

We stayed Xmas Eve for 3 nights as part of a TUI package. I was a little worried after reading so many bad or negative reviews, but honestly we had the best time!

We stayed Xmas Eve for 3 nights as part of a TUI package. I was a little worried after reading so many bad or negative reviews, but honestly we had the best time! Yes the hotel is a little dated, but it has everything you need, we stayed in a superior twin in the Gileas building, and glad we did as we loved being slightly out the main busy area of the hotel. The few minute walk to the main building was not an issue like so many on here made it out to be. Breakfast was served in our building, so we didn’t have much need for the main building. Breakfast was a little below average, I think we just had tea and toast every morning, but again you don’t go away to expect a full English served up! Rooms were big enough and clean, nice balcony overlooking stunning views (we requested high floor for this reason) warm enough and handy drying racks for clothes! TUI were also brilliant by the way, again lots of bad reviews but it was well organised, and we had the best Christmas ever!! Xmas day we spent visiting Santa at santas creek, this was incredible from start to finish, we were last in to see Santa but the kids were happy playing in the snow and sat around the fire chatting to the elves. Boxing Day we spent on the taster day, I’m so glad I didn’t spend a fortune booking more experiences as these were plenty for us and our little ones, it was a great well organised day! Gala dinner at the hotel wasn’t the best, but again we went not expecting much, we had a drink and the kids had a blast, and it’s for them for than anything! I would 100% return, and do exactly the same trip!

“All round pretty good, just needs a little decor update”

Lots to like about this hotel. We appreciated getting a mini-apartment with a separate bedroom and living area with kitchen plus a Balcony, and the bathroom with sauna was great - showers always hot. There was also a big cupboard in the entrance way to dry coats and boots. The only downside of the apartment is that it’s a bit dated decor. We had to cross the road to the main building for meals, which was fine for us but worth knowing. We loved the food, lots of breakfast choices and different dinners. There wasn’t huge amounts of nice food (2 choices each night usually sausage/chicken nugget/pizza type food for kids but it was ok. The bar and dining area is really cosy and the staff are very friendly and efficient. The location of this hotel is the best. Opposite the ski/snowsuit hire shop and 5 mins walk to the toboggan run.
