My stay was an amazing experience filled with relaxation and tranquility. The location is a bit remote, which enhances the private atmosphere, and the views are absolutely stunning. The rooms were beautifully designed and stocked with luxurious amenities, though they weren't particularly spacious. While the dining at the restaurant was delightful, the price felt high for the overall experience. The facilities were top-notch, making for a very enjoyable visit.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of indulgence and some minor frustrations. The luxurious design and high-end amenities in the room added to the experience, and I truly enjoyed the private lagoon, which felt like a slice of heaven compared to the public one. However, the service was hit or miss, with some staff lacking the polished hospitality I expected. Additionally, while I appreciated the spa, I found the dining options to be a bit limited and a touch on the pricey side. Overall, it's a beautiful place, but there are certainly areas that can be improved.

Rooms

The room was beautifully designed, spacious with luxurious fittings, and included high-end wines and a well-stocked refrigerator. I loved the standalone tub with a view, but the lack of privacy in the bathroom area took away from the overall luxury feel.

Absolutely loved our stay at The Retreat at Blue Lagoon! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty. The room was gorgeous and comfortable with stunning views, and we had so many amenities at our fingertips. However, the cost is quite steep at nearly $1500 per night, which might be a consideration for some. Overall, it was worth every penny for the experience we had.
