The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland

An amazing hotel, our host was wonderful, greeted with champagne upon arrival and the weight of the world lifted off our shoulders as our host organised everything. The rooms were delightful and looked out onto the silica waters that surround the lagoon. The access area, from the retreat, to the blue lagoon was discreet and one couldn’t help but feel special as at times the lagoon gets busy. We loved our stay here!

We packed in a lot with our 7 day visit to Iceland with our last night in the Blue Lagoon. It was spotless and found the staff very attentive. The room was immaculate and the view was amazing. The curtains kept out the “midnight sun”. We ate dinner and found the three courses excellent.

Jonathan and the rest of the staff were very kind and accomodating to me! Jonathan went out of his way to make sure I felt welcomed at the Blue Lagoon. Without him, my experience at the Blue Lagoon would not have been the same! I am very appreciateive of Jonathan for making my experience at the Blue Lagoon one that I will remember forever!

We came here at the end of a 3-week trip around Iceland and couldn't have asked for a better finish. Top-notch accommodation, staffing and facilities. The pools and spa are amazing and we loved the hotel's philosophy of encouraging guests to disconnect from screens. The only part the hotel felt not exceptional was food variety on the menus, which (except for the Michelin-rated Moss restaurant, which we did not try) was pretty much the same as in much cheaper places we visited in Iceland, although quality was superb. Regardless of that, we can't recommend it enough (would give it a 6-star rating, if possible) and would love to come back some time.

Not cheap but worth every penny. Despite all of the extra tensions related to the eruption, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the food — especially the Moss — was fantastic, services offered by the spa were terrific, and the facility itself is gorgeous. And then there’s the Bkue Lagoon itself! Oh, and we saw the northern lights!! Just a perfect stay. We’ll be back!

The retreat day was something special and I’m so glad my friend and I decided to splash out on it as a treat. We weren’t disappointed and will remember it always. The spa is amazing and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Our day was perfect

If you are visiting Iceland, this place is really a must! Design - clean lines and very modern. Atmosphere - luxury, with contemporary designs, spacious high ceilings, open lobby, the hotel felt a bit commercial, formal and non personal Rooms - very designer with lots of little gadgets, great little touches promoting inhouse products which you can buy at their gift shops Breakfast - good selection and variety Service - nothing stood out, not the worst nor the best Spa - a MUST go, great experience, it was a journey with all the different mud scrubs, masques, lagoon visit etc. Restaurant - the one we visited was good This may not be the best hotel with the best service ever... but this is a hotel where you are here for the incredible experience as part of the Iceland journey/adventure! Surrounded by lava rocks, thermal spa and spectacular sceneries!
