Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We traveled with our elderly mother & had requested a room on ground floor with easy access to reception or close to lifts. Our requests were made via Expedia app & email direct to hotel. This was not responded to & we were placed in a room very far from the reception, this made our special trip disappointing as our mother felt uncomfortable with the walk. We were given something to eat as a compensation but we really had to fight for this as we were all so upset our mothers wish to stay in the hotel we used to visit growing up had a taint to it. There is a lot of different in the welcome we got years gone by, the “Irish hospitality & welcome” is non existent. Food ok, cleanliness good, service bad.

Beautiful views, great location to walking trail and beach. Dining was good but there were lots of children which wasn’t a big deal just something to be aware of. Live music was a fun touch!

Needs updating
The location and the main areas are very nice. However, the rooms are very outdated. The beds are uncomfortable. The restaurant is ok but not what you’d expect.

Excellent hotel apart from wardrobe incident
I would have scored higher for our one night stay but unfortunately whilst in our room my daughter opened the doors of the cupboard in the bedroom and the wardrobe fell over on top of her. Thankfully the top landed on the bed leaving space between floor and her. Dread to think what I would dealing with if the bed wasn’t there. Informed staff on checkout to ensure all wardrobes are checked and secured as the carpet leaves it very wobbly so need secured. The weight of the doors was enough to topple the wardrobe.

Admired the quality of furnishings in the lobby and the quality of the rich carpet. The lanterns in the hallways added an ambience to the lighting. The house keeping staff were warm and friendly. They work really hard and you can see that they keep the place well. Very hard working. The gentleman in the spa, pool, sauna, steam room facilities was so kind and helpful. Thank you.

Ghastly en-suite
Friendly and helpful staff. Food good. Dreadfully outdated en-suite a real let down: chipped paintwork, mouldy grouting, primitive shower and facilities. Total contrast to the public areas which were up to date, comfortable and well presented. A good hotel sadly let down by the standard of the rooms.
