The Retreat offers a uniquely luxurious experience with exceptional amenities and stunning views. The staff are friendly and attentive, making you feel special throughout your stay. However, the experience was somewhat marred by long wait times for check-in and a disappointing private lagoon experience due to safety issues. Despite the high price, the spa and dining options are fantastic, making it a memorable stay overall.

What an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, everything felt luxurious. The room was spacious and came with a stunning view of the moss-covered lava fields, perfect for a peaceful getaway. Although it can be pricey, especially since meals aren't included, I found the overall experience to be worth every penny. The on-site spa and private lagoon areas added an extra touch of relaxation. Just a couple of minor issues to note were the dimly lit bathroom which made getting ready a bit tricky, and some technical difficulties with the music setup in our room.

The dining options were exquisite, particularly at Moss, though slightly on the pricier side. The location offered a unique experience, set apart from the public areas.
