The Lava restaurant is a beautiful restaurant, food was amazing, but a bit not well managed, staff were friendly but kept getting our orders wrong, and took three attempts for the right meal to be delivered.

SILICA is an incredible hotel experience. Private and secluded yet with access to the busy Blue Lagoon, and its facilities, it was just perfect. The room was wonderful, and opens out to a moon-like view. The private lagoon was a wonderful way to start the day.

There was absolutely nothing I didn’t like—if anything, I just wish I could’ve stayed longer.

Rating: 10/10 A sanctuary of peace and renewal. The atmosphere felt otherworldly—private, healing, and deeply serene. Soaking in the earth-warmed waters, surrounded by silence and nature, was like coming home to myself. Truly unforgettable.

Property is absolutely stunning in terms of practicality, functionality relaxation and the most important point l where mentioned that 98 % of materials are completely natural, you would find a stone - wall, wood, ceramic, glass, and other type of organic materials, it really helps you to detox yourself from all artificial chemicals and environment full of plastic products. Service is simple, nothing extraordinary but all stuff are well educated and well mannered, silica lagoon is one of the main reason of our staying, it’s very exclusive access for such rich source of mineralised water with original silica under your feet, experience is absolutely amazing and super healthy for body and mind detox, breakfast are exceptionally organic and healthy and super tasty, there is one lady ( forgot her name ) but she is always at morning serving breakfast/ her eyes is blue)) - she is extremely kind and attentive to details, was always checking on us if we need anything additionally, super helpful and kind person. It’s a perfect place to stay and forget that you are in earth , it’s just another planet , silica mask is one of the ritual which must be taken, your skin will reach another level of goodness, also products from Blue Lagoon as a skin care expert l can recommend, ingredients are organic and well mixed. I would suggest only in house restaurant for dinner - something like LAVA restaurant.

Leaving

My second stay and it was just as magical as the first. I must recommend staying 2 nights so you have a complete day to enjoy all that is offered. The whole experience is dialed in catering to you. Staff is sharp, attentive, and friendly. The ambiance defines relaxation. The continental breakfast is exceptional, and the presentation is top-notch with a selection that couldn't possibly be all sampled. The private lagoon I often had all to myself and is otherworldly compared to the main Blue Laggon. I will definitely be back, and it was a perfect way to end a week of traveling abroad 😌

Towels could be better, there is no turndown service, no help with luggage. My complaint is about food in general: since the hotel is isolated and far away from the city, one would expect a five star hotel would have nice options to eat during the day. Reality is that a part from the restaurant that serve over expensive food at lunch and dinner, the only eating options for the rest of the day are cold snacks that you can purchase from a fridge they have.

Rooms are really comfortable and breakfast is delicious and complete

That the restaurant wasn't in the same building

The whole experience was absolutely amazing. Well worth the money spent.

isolated from any stores or other restaurants

the property is amazing

The tv in the room didn't seem to work so well, having just one channel and no access to Youtube or anything else.

This hotel is such a gem for anyone who is willing to spend a considerable amount of money on a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Both the hotel's common areas and rooms are beautiful and modern, but I'd say the real appeal is the fact that this hotel has a private Blue Lagoon! I can't recommend this enough for people looking for a unique Blue Lagoon experience. Plus every guest gets a complimentary entry to the public Blue Lagoon, which adds great value to the price of the stay. The views from the Hotel are absolutely unique, facing either the lava fields or the private Blue Lagoon. The breakfast was delicious and eating it with views to the Lagoon has become a memory for life.

the luxurious access to the blue lagoon! we had it all to ourselves! instead of going to the public one. the room were specious and the shuttle service to retreat hotel was complementary.

Stayed in January 2023

Room was by the short cut external door to the blue lagoon. The relentless slamming of this door was awful and ruined the relaxing aesthetic. Needs a soft closing mechanism or those rooms discounted. No hot food on site.

Room was clean and breakfast delicious. Staff fun and friendly.
