This huge, pricey, fjord-side resort caters for pretty much everything you need, with a brace of restaurants, two cafes, a luxurious spa, indoor and outdoor pools and even its own nightclub. The rooms themselves are fairly standard: comfy enough, if unexciting. There are no fewer than eight categories: fjord views and floor space command premiums.
