    The bathroom is literally in the room, without any separation, which means no intimacy. At this price, this is something I do not understand. I was also dispapointed by Moss, the restaurant. Nothing exceptional.

    This place is unique and magic. The lagoon is beautiful. Having a bath in the middle of a lava field is fantastic.

    Yoga is advertised but it was not possible to book in advance. The assignment room was far too small to cater for the supply and demand and we were disappointed to be turned away even though we were 15 -20 mins early.

    The restaurants are all good 😊 The room was very comfortable with a great view

    Moss restaurant is unfortunately closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The SPA restaurant and the Lava restaurant are not up to the standard. Lava is promoted as gourmet dining but that's way off! Most of the restaurant staff is not very attentive and most of them not even friendly. SPA restaurant and Retreat pool fills up with people staying in the Sicilia Hotel who just walk in - as a high rate paying guest of the Retreat you wonder why you have to go through a waiting list to get a table while Sicilia guests dine......

    Great location. Very friendly staff at the reception.

    There was nothing I could improve about this hotel. Yes, the price is steep, but you definitely get what you pay for!

    Unbelievable scenery, cosy feel and very professional. Breakfast was great with many options both healthy and not so much ✅. A fantastic place to spend a couple of days relaxing and a good base for adventuring.

    The lava restaurant was a big disappointment from all the great food we tried it was our least favourite experience from food to service. It lacked flavour and the fish was bland and the steak was so tough even though it was a tenderloin cut

    The staff and service were above excellent

    I’m 13 months alcohol free and it’s disappointing little effort is made for guests who want to drink alcohol free beer or spirits with their meal or pre/post meal. Becks Blue? There are so many high quality options available. Please try harder… especially for a health retreat!

    This place is out of this world! It’s like no place I’ve ever visited… not only the amazing staff and luxury spa facilities but a truly unique location!

    Best hotel we've stayed in ever!

    Literally, nothing not to like. Oh, wait, they have a beautiful gym with fancy touchscreen treadmills and such, but there are no fans on the equipment, and I was very hot jogging, so I'd suggest keeping that gym about 10 degrees colder. (Fehrenheit. No one wants frost bite!)

    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!)
