The property is clean and well maintained. The front office staff is friendly and very helpful at addressing any questions. The breakfast buffet has many options available to cater to diverse tastes. My favorite was the bacon, Icelandic Skyr and oatmeal. We also liked their saunas on site and weight room. The location is very peaceful and right next to the blue lagoon. I highly recommend and would definitely return.
