Family, weekend trip 2 weeks before Christmas. Rented a 1 bedroom Condo.
Pros:
Views were awesome.
Unit was equipped with everything you needed.
Close to restaurants, shopping, etc.
Cons:
Indoor pool "wasn't working" when we went, which was one of the reasons we chose this location.
Unit clearly hasn't been updated since mid 90s. Normally wouldn't bother me, but thought it was going to be "luxury". We didn't go to watch TV and hang out at the unit, however, wall paper was peeling, grimey shower/jacuzzi, iron burns on carpet, etc. didn't win any points for the review.
Also, the walls were verrrry thin. Heard quite literally every sound from above and next to us.
Bottom line, Nordic Village is far from luxury. It was noisy, dated, and the only entertainment (indoor pool) wasn't heated when we went. With plenty of places to stay in the area, we would likely seek alternate accommodations for our next stay.
About my rating system:
5 stars would have required excellent service, clean and luxurious amenities.
4 stars if the unit was top shelf, but service was lacking.
I would give 3 stars for a relatively inexpensive hotel that was clean and functional.
However, I had to go with 2 stars because I stayed at what felt like a dated, bargain hotel with no amenities and marginal service.
I guess I hold locations to higher standards when they list themselves as a "resort". Especially a luxury resort.
