The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland

Very good experience

Simply a great experience. Checked in was efficient and relaxing. Offered a glass of champagne followed by a tour of the facility and then escorted to our room. We had a lava view which was great room. I think the difference between a lava and a moss view is the floor. The changing light on the lava and moss on top provided variation. Checked in about 4:30 PM. Booked a in water treatment at 6:00 (not included) which jumpstarts your time at the Retreat. We followed that by an hour exploring the private lagoon. Then we went to the ritual experience (included) at 7:00 PM. We planned dinner for 8:30 PM so that we could get one last dip in the private lagoon before closing. Just a great evening. Our only disappointment was not being able to get into the Moss restaurant. It was fully booked and this was a last minute reservation for us. In the morning there was a great buffet in the reception lounge area that was included. We checked out the larger public lagoon to realize we only wanted to stay in the private lagoon. Took in one more ritual experience before check out.

We stayed here on our European trip! It was the much needed break that we needed with our family in a location that was the most wonderful experience. Everything about this hotel was next level. My favourite thing was the view from the room. As Australians we aren’t used too such a view - and it was stunning! One day we will come back!
