We stayed in the ice hotel on the first night, that has it's own review so won't go into it here. This hotel is huge! It's clearly set up for family breaks away. I wouldnt say it's catered much to couples, I mean there is no bar!! A hotel without a bar! Sure it has eating venues, but who wants to sit in a restaurant all evening to enjoy some drinks? We certainly don't, especially when it was really quiet at the time of our visit. I'll also add in terms of eating choice, there isn't much. That being said we did eat in the Safari Restaurant. We were the only clientelly eating there when we were in. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food we got was piping hot and very tasty. I saw a few negative comments on the food, but we had a good experience overall in the restaurant. Activity wise, we did the couples massage from the Aroma Spa. Sandy and Roxanne did us. Chose relaxtion and was very good! Slept like a log that night when I went to bed later. A tip.... take some cash with you as a tip is expected. We did leave a reasonable tip after I ran back up to the room to get some cash. We also did some ice skating. Haven't done ice skating for over 20 odd years so felt like I was a beginner again.... bambi on ice for sure! Decent enough loop around the grounds. The hire boots I got didn't really suit me that well. Clearly well used and just couldn't get them tight on my ankles, which for ice hockey boots is pertinent! However, not bad value for what you get overall. Can't comment on the snow tubing etc but from what I saw of our balcony looked decent! We just wanted a relaxing trip away.... There is an assortment of gift shops with plenty offerings. they don't open that early though. 10:00 is their opening time. We wanted something out the shop when we checked out at 09:00, but weren't going to hang about for an hour. For me, it ticked the boxes for a quiet hotel, comfortable bed, hot shower, decent enough food and coffee in the rooms. Our final morning we chose not to do anything at the hotel itself, we got up early-ish, skipped breakfast here, checked out and went to Quebec City to the Strom Nordic Spa. Spa-wise exactly what we were looking for (covered in another review). Overall, even though not much to do in the evening, during the day it's a great hotel to visit for things to do and we will come back here in the summer with our kids this time to do the water park activities!
