If you have the time and ability…..The Retreat is an MUST DO opportunity to decompress and rejuvenate both mentally and physically. Dinner at The Moss was an experience to remember! Overlooking and relaxing in the lavas landscape is a once in a lifetime experience.

The Retreat gave a bona fide feel of luxury and quality service, not to mention the lagoon, aurora, spa and especially the ever existing peril of another volcanic eruption, combined to form a once-in-a-lifetime experience! We may want come back in the summer to taste out the long-day light season at the Blue Lagoon!

This was the nicest hotel I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. It was beautiful and so nicely kept. The staff was amazing. The Blue Lagoon at The Retreat was very private and quiet. Truly amazing trip. The Retreat was $$$, but worth every penny.

Great hotel and spa, really well presented building and the rooms were clean, well equipped and quiet. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were very attentive and polite. OK it's a little pricey but well worth the experience overall. The only negative for me was from the Lava restaurant where I had probably the worst steak ever especially given it's hefty price tag.

One of the most amazing hotels in the world, hewn out of a 600-year-old lava field and connecting with the Blue Lagoon. This is not only Iceland’s number 1 hotel, but totally world-class. Stylish, fantastic service, fluent English by ALL staff, super-modern rooms (lighting can be a bit confusing), keyless entry to room via wrist device, extraordinary spa, good food - what more can one ask? Our only complaint: service in the restaurants is s.l.o.w.

8/10 Very good

From the moment you enter, your stress dissipates as you see the blue silica waters and everyone walking around in spa robes. Your host provides you with a personalized check-in and itinerary review along with a tour of the retreat and spa. It is critically important that you reach out DIRECTLY to the retreat to book activities, meals and spas services as they don’t seem to get Expedia messages. Also, check-in is 4pm or after or there is an early fee of $500 (the sister limited hotel w/private lagoon does not charge for an early check-in). Check-out is at 11am or a fee applies. I would recommend 2 nights to enjoy in full. This retreat has a private lagoon that you can enjoy after hours all well. There is a meditation room with a ceiling waterfall and fireplace room that is so calming along with the spa fully body ritual. I would highly recommend the floating massages. A once in a lifetime experience. After you check-in you just need a bathing suit along w/robes and spa shoes they provide for the rest of your stay. A must is a room with the lagoon view as you will have seen plenty of lava fields. The shower in the room is one of the best ever. The stocked mini refrigerator is a nice touch and it is restocked with turn down service. The bed needs to be firmer with softer sheets. The breakfast was standard but eggs came out cold. The spa has nice food options for lunch. Moss is a safe and pricey Michelin star restaurant, enjoyed Ox and Dill way more.

I only have one recommendation for the hotel. In the lobby, change the ringtone at reception. It is the default tone that immediately breaks the vacation mentality and brings one back to the normal grind of every day life

Everything was wonderful at the hotel and spa. Unfortunately there was a family there that had a small child and the child came to our table several times at dinner with the nanny chasing after him. We also had breakfast with the same family - so again, not super relaxing.
