This was our favorite hotel ever, period. Their private Blue Lagoon pools were so beautiful. We were in and out of them all day. The restaurants were all delicious. Moss was super delicious - every course - and also a really fun experience. Not pretentious. And for lunch I recommend the the teriyaki beef carpaccio in the spa restaurant. So good! (And even more fun to have in your bathrobe between swims!)

Cher United States of America

Loved the architecture, the lighting in the rooms, the BEST shower, access to the private parts of the Blue Lagoon (especially nice at night), comfortable beds, wonderful service, good breakfast, excellent dinner at Moss, super relaxing water massage, great facial. Loved the robes, slippers, and wool poncho (that was gifted to me by my friend!) Just a very wonderful experience.
