Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A really nice hotel in a very beautiful location, with views the amazing beach from the balcony. The food in the restaurant (Restaurant Bistro) was absolutely outstanding - really top-notch cooking. The waiting staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful (in three languages). We'll be back. Thank you,

Gorgeous place. Beautiful beach and sea views. The food in Restaurant Bistro (attached to the hotel) is absolutely outstanding. Tip, top quality cooking. And the service? Also magnificent. The waitress could not have been more helpful or welcoming - and in three languages! Fabulous place all round. We’ll be back. Kiitos!

I stayed at this hotel for two nights last week. Find my review is below in plusses (+) and minuses (-): + Very clean and modern hotel + Nice rooms and they all seem to have a view to the beautiful beach +++ + Staff is very friendly + There is a gas station/store/restaurant nearby, from where you gan get groceries etc., and there is also a monibar in the room + Sandy Kelt is a very nice and cozy Irish pub only about 100m away. There's also a steak house (Pihvitupa). Both have exellent food + Nice looking spa area (unfortunately it has been under renovation for a long time already. They don't seem to have any hurry in getting it ready.. - As of September 1, 2022, there is no longer any regular sausages or meatballs on the beakfast menu. The only sausages there are raindeer sausages (dark), which many people might not care for. I think most of us would appreciate sausages, meatballs and bacon for breakfast. The breaffast is a bit of a disappointment for a 4-star hotel. Bring the meat back! - The toilet paper in the rooms is cheap, the kind you would find at gas stations. This toilet paper is not suitable for a 4-star hotel. So, guests, please bring your own toilet paper! - It seems like the spa, at the hotel has been in renovation for a long time now. Please get the spa working again! Without a spa, it really kakes out a lot from the experience.

Nice apartment with a beautiful view, but there isnt any air conditioning, so you have a hot apartment with balcony doors wide open. Breakfast starts at 8am, its too late and it causes traffic. Same goes for Spa times, opens at 10am and its jammed immediately and its too crowded. I wish they would think about the timetables all over , breakfast starting from 7am and Spa from 8am. There are mostly families with kids during summertime and it would be wise to re-think the times. There are no lunch service in the hotel, only some waffles during lunchtime. Bistro opens at 2pm, lunchtime is already over for kids by then. So basically the hotel is forcing you to take your money elsewhere to buy lunch. Staff is awesome, very friendly, but the management should really think about these things.

We picked this hotel as it offers free entrance to the spa within the room charge. However, we noticed it offers much more. Greate location, view to the baltic sea (you'll need to book a room with sea view), clean and good style rooms, friendly personnel and large breakfast. We can fully recommend this place.

Outrageously the hotel takes all the profits without giving real advantages to the customer, compared to the hotel room price. Most common rooms, stripped off of any luxury. There aren't even coffee/tea making facilities. We stayed two nights without cleaning, nor turn down service. In fact there was only one person in the reception taking care of the coffee shop as well. Breakfast was most basic, there was nothing extra. No local products, nor organic. Cheapest quality without aesthetics. Visiting the spa was included, but it wasn't anything special either. There were no cafe services available. I feel most ashamed to be Finnish by seeing this kind of greed in my own country.

We spent some holiday at Santas hotel. Even though I was having a flue we had a very pleasant time there. The holiday was on Christmas ambiance. The hotel room was nice, clean and comfortable. This hotel has plenty of activities during the wintertime such as •a bowling room •escape room •massage •and Barbour services •indoor playground for little children •basic sports room and best of all the big swimming hall for everyone. We were enjoying the nice service and tasty breakfast.

Just beautiful location on top of sand dunes, great view to sea. Just one best places to see might night sun. Good beds ( twin) nice balcony in seaside. AC I don't know if there is any, at least there isn't individual control unit in room, but room temperature was ok. Bathroom small and shower too small. There was studios and apartments with much better facilitates. Friendly staff and lobby bar, very good Scandinavian breakfast in separate spa building ( indoors corridor). Limited parking space, just front of building, more space nearby. Shopping and restaurants in walking distance, city center ( extremely small) about 6-7 miles.

We wanted to go somewhere n relax if only for a night and we’ve been through Kalajoki in summer, it’s awesome then and it’s lovely in winter to.

It was winter so restaurant was closed that day but the pool a spa were open and are great. If you’ve kids it’ll be even better in summer when the water park is open.
