Great for outdoor lovers
Pros:

The location, the design and the comfort

Cons:

Maybe a rail to dry things in the bathroom would have helped. In the Sauna the floor tiles are VERY slippery.

A comfortable stay in a very well-equipped hotel
Pros:

The rooms were very comfortable, the facilities (the restaurant, the sauna, etc.) were excellent and the staff were lovely.

Cons:

The hotel is isolated (which was expected), so expect to rely on the hotel restaurant for food.
