to get started.

You will not truly appreciate how great this place is until you stay here. A bit strange for an American when a whole place slows down this much but wow. They do call it The Retreat

I decided after much thought to treat myself to spending one night at the retreat. It was so worth it! From the minute you arrive, you are welcomed and well taken care of. I can say enough about this amazing retreat. I stayed on the 2nd floor facing the lava fields. It was so peaceful. There's also a large tub that can be filled with the lagoon water which the front desk can help you with. The room is large and you will feel pampered. I loved the more private pools as well. You can walk around in your robes too in the lobby area. I fortunately had a beautiful warm day to go into the outdoor pools. (August 2019). You do not need to leave the property. There are on-site restaurants. Breakfast is included and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend staying here if you can swing it. I'm in my mid 60s so I treated myself. It was the best decision. I only wish that I could have afforded to stay two nights. You will feel totally relaxed.

Best shower in any hotel. Friendly Staff trying to please. Gorgeous lobby and architecture, food is excellent including a breakfast like no other in Iceland and a very good dining, the Michelin star restaurant Moss. Room views and space is good. Of course Spa and Lagoon are relaxing.

Not fully happy with the dinner at the Moss. The restaurant is cosy and its wine list is superb. You are only given three choices 7 couse, 5 course or vegan set menu and honestly as much as it is fancy and fine cousine but there is a good chance of finishing the dinner still, especially after a day in the Spa or even worse hiking around. We stopd up and we were still hungry ... One note on the massage, I had a 1h/300€ massage, which was avarage when given the facility at the price you would expect a much better and unique experience. I didnt left the room satified or more relaxed .
The facility is amazing and the staff is super kind and always available.

Service can be improved - some misunderstandings with staff (maybe because of the language? - I'm not sure) The Ritual at the spa was confusing with not real explanation of what was really going on. Menu at the Lava restaurant can be more varied.
Amazing facilities, rooms and location. Breathtaking place - truly a must

Service is a bit slow not well experienced and very present in the corridors. You feel stuff is not experienced in luxury hotel business as it is the first hotel in this category in iceland. Getting an appointment in the spa for treatments was a challenge as all was fully booked and hotel guest had not really priority... Spa treatments are chaotically organized and the therapists are matter of good luck... some very good some nust far away from good... we managed to get two massages in the whole week but it needed a lot of effort from our side and long conversations with the management of spa and hotel... thats actually no go for a luxury pretending hotel... The worst surprise was actually that we was told on the day of check out that guest can not use spa facilities after check out... and check out is 11.00 Late check out is difficult and stuff is not really willing to help... after arguing as we stayed there for a week we finally got extension of 2 hours and felt as we have to be super thankful about their generosity... Rooms was not cleaned daily and bed sheets was not changed during the whole week... we had to request cleaning after dustballs was rolling around our room...

Housekeeping not up to standards. It’s good but not great to match this five star $1500 a night resort. Some overlooked staines and dusty shelves, and housekeeping fundamentals that other hotel a third of the price have mastered. The lagoon/spa area also is not clean, again for $400 a day spa access, it should be spotless. The retreat’s private swimming area is very small. Overall the spa/lagoon hotel is understaffed. And they don’t really care about your comments and feedback, a bit arrogant front desk. It nice but given the fortune spent and per night stay, it’s disappointing.
Best shower in any hotel. Friendly Staff trying to please. Gorgeous lobby and architecture, food is excellent including a breakfast like no other in Iceland and a very good dining, the Michelin star restaurant Moss. Room views and space is good. Of course Spa and Lagoon are relaxing.
