The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland - Grindavik

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 had an amazing stay for one night at the retreat. So relaxing after the long flight, beautiful resort, gracious staff, great food. We greatly enjoyed the ritual in the spa and make sure you find the fireplace room! We had an amazing cozy nap there. This was a great first night in Iceland. We dined at moss that night and it was extraordinary. It is fairly expensive but unforgettable. We were nervous because if the recent eruptions, there are dozers/ construction equipment around but this did not bother us.

We really enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival, we sat in comfy sofas where they brought us champagne for check-in. They went to the car to get our stuff and brought it to the room and parked the car.||Our host gave us a tour and the room was available for early check-in (around noon). We had a lava junior suite and it was perfect. Amazing shower! You have a little gift bag with products and the mini bar is free.||We had lunch in the spa restaurant which was good. The spa/private lagoons are amazing. The public ones are below average (crowded and the view is a power plant). The spa has several relaxation area, we read our books in the nest area most of the afternoon.||If you want a massage book in advance. I waited and they were full :(||We ate diner at Lava restaurant which was good.||They have a nice gym and also a yoga room.||The free breakfast is amazing!!!!||We asked for late check out and they could only do 1130. You cannot use spa area after your check-out. They did offer us free passes to general lagoon area since flight only at 630pm. We declined and we’ll just read/work in the library room.||We travelled all over the world in some of the best hotels and I would say this is in our top 5. Atlantis Royal in Dubai is still our number 1. St. Regis|Bora Bora and Springs Resort in Costa Rica would be amongst our other top ones with this place.||Expensive but worth it. We only did 1 night. I would do|2 max as you do need to explore the country. This was our last night of the trip, perfect way to end it.

Blue Lagoon Retreat Hotel presents itself as one of the most prestigious hotels in Iceland — a true symbol of national pride. However, during a national winter storm that shut down all flights and even grounded Iceland’s national airline, we were unable to reach the hotel. Despite this being a force majeure situation completely beyond our control, the hotel refused to offer any refund or understanding.

For a property that represents Iceland’s hospitality and excellence, this lack of empathy and flexibility was truly shocking. I expected better treatment and understanding from such a highly regarded establishment.

We stayed in the lagoon suite at Retreat blue lagoon and it was the experience of a lifetime having our own private lagoon. The room was very clean, beautiful and well appointed with their amazing blue lagoon brand skin care products that they were very generous with. The $3,000+ nightly rate for the lagoon suite is well worth it in our opinion to have a private lagoon, as well as access to the spa lagoon and products. They are very vegan friendly at the hotel. The ambiance of the hotel was very tranquil, quiet and relaxing, and we enjoyed being able to eat breakfast in our robes. The lagoon was warm, healing and the best part of the stay. We cannot wait to stay again. The rooms look just like the photos!

Fantastic experience! From the moment you arrive, The Retreat at Blue Lagoon treats attends to your every need! From planning your robe and shoe slipper size, to greeting you with luggage unloading and setting your luggage in your room, to a welcome tour… are a very WELCOMING!

The suites are well appointed. We had direct access to the lagoon right outside our suite(see photos). Dinner in the spa was quaint and delicious. Service throughout the entire Retreat was top notch! Highly Recommend you visit The Retreat!

Потрясающий отель! |Начиная от заела в отель чувствуешь стиль, роскошь и комфорт. Номера очень красивые , оснащение просто топ, начиная от отделки и завершая освещением. Косметика и постель отличная. Берите номер с видом на лагуну на 1 этаже, это того стоит . Завтраки вкуснейшие. Персонал вежливый и объективно потрясающий . Есть спорт зал , по утрам в 9:00 йога. Спа комплекс отличный, сауны и разные уходовые процедуры прекрасные ( все входит в цену номера : маски, скрабы). В номере мини-бар с вином и напитками входит в цену номера. Сам отель стильный. Рекомендую однозначно!

It was amazing. Stayed here for 2 nights and they were incredible. We just hung out at the hotel, the retreat lagoon, and the blue lagoon. The breakfast was great, but I didn't really like the other restaurants on site. The ritual and the retreat lagoon were fun, but I still think the blue lagoon itself is the best part. All the staff were great and really friendly.
