Our stay at Santasport Apartments was enjoyable overall.

I had a pleasant stay at this family resort, which offers a variety of amenities like a swimming pool, fun park, and sports facilities. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, perfect for families. However, the dining options could be improved, especially breakfast, and the kids' area had limited hours, which made it tough to enjoy during our activities. Overall, it's a great place for families looking to enjoy winter sports and activities.

I had a blast at Santasport, especially with my kids. The hotel is a great spot for families, offering a bunch of activities, including a pool and play area.
