Our stay at Blue Lagoon was a truly great experience. The resort and its surroundings are beautiful, offering a scenic and relaxing environment with crystal clear water and beautiful volcanic hills in the back. We particularly enjoyed the Japanese Omakase dining experience, which featured excellent food and very high quality service (a particular thank to the chef Sake and Ade for the amazing experience). Additionally, there are two beautiful hikes from the resort that provide great views of the island interior and coastline. The snorkeling in front of the resort is also great, we even got to swim with a turtle.
However, there is one important issue we feel we must raise. During the Diwali celebrations, the resort hosted a fireworks display right on the beach. While we understand the importance of celebrating, fireworks are very harmful to marine life and pollute the ocean. The chemical runoff, debris, and intense noise cause unnecessary stress and damage to the local fragile underwater ecosystem.
Since the resort relies so heavily on its beautiful natural surroundings, we sincerely hope management will consider transitioning to eco-friendly celebration alternatives to better protect the marine environment.
