Outstanding stay in Nusfjord. We loved our one bedroom cabin with living room. The accommodation was very clean and cosy. We appreciated the number of hooks and hangers to accommodate clothing damp from the rain. The bathroom was well appointed. The robes and slippers came in handy for use at the spa. Hot tubs, sauna, and cold plunge were wonderful; we especially appreciated the unlimited use after 4pm (no need to reserve). The view from the hot tubs was stunning and relaxing. The en suite Nespresso machine was a welcome start to the morning. The food at the restaurant was excellent; we didn't have any problems with the limited selection. Breakfast was excellent with multiple choices to suit the varied dietary requirements and desires of our group. Some reviewers complain about the cost; we found the cost typical for Lofoten. The village was great for a day of exploring. The vanilla custard rolls at Hansines Bakeri are not to be missed. We spend a morning in sea kayaks/ SUPs; what a wonderful way to explore the fjord. I did not know what to expect for the RIB boat; it's like a roller coaster-- exhilarating and fun. We got to see several sea eagles up close; don't hesitate to book the RIB boat. Some reviewers wrote that being in the harbor cottages was like being in a zoo; yes, tourists do come close to the cabins, need to keep your curtains drawn, but the harbor closes to tourists in the early evening, and most of the day you should be out exploring anyway. I hadn't realized that Nudfjord Arctic Resort had been featured on the BBC until I came to write this review; it's truly deserving of the accolade. Our group stayed at 3 other accommodations in Lofoten, and we unanimously agreed that Nusfjord Arctic Resort was the best of the best. 100% recommend. Would love to come back.
