Does the Sky Lagoon smell like sulfur?

There can be a slight sulfur smell due to the geothermal nature of the waters, but it's very mild, entirely natural, and harmless. Most visitors don't notice it after the first few minutes. Do I need flip-flops at the Sky Lagoon, Blue Lagoon, or Hvammsvik Hot Springs? Flip-flops are not necessary but can be useful.
