We paid for a superior sea view room! Three lights in the bedroom didn't work. Bathroom fan didn't work. We found pubic hairs and head hair in shower. No toilet roll holder in bathroom. Mug was chipped beside coffee machine. Room was very small and needed updating badly. Windows were very dirty and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months which spoiled the beautiful view. This should be a 2 star hotel...

The views from the hotel were amazing. I had the fish and chips for my evening meal it was very good. The staff were friendly.There was no heating in our room when we arrived .We had to turn on the radiator ourselves The room itself was very clean and comfortable. .I was very pleased with the choice on the breakfast menu. There was a shortage of staff serving breakfast which meant my breakfast arrived cold .The girl serving breakfast was very polite and good at her job . She did her best to serve everyone.

The location is great and the breakfast area was nice with friendly staff, but the rooms were disappointing. They are dated and not well maintained, with visible mould in the bathroom. Despite booking a sea-view room, the dirty windows meant there was barely any view at all. Only one pillow per person was provided, with no extras available. In the morning, cleaning bags were left outside every room, which made the corridors feel messy and cheap. Overall, the rooms are not great and the hotel does not feel well cared for.

The food was supposed to be cook on the moment. I ordered a cheese omellet with rashers and spinach but was raw in the inside and burn on the outside. No cheese, no rashers and got chopped tomatoes and rae dpinach instead and tasteless.

A surprisingly poor hotel

Threadbare carpets, corroded bathroom fittings and the most miserable staff in Ireland created a bad first impression. Add to that ordering two main courses in the restaurant, only receiving one and accepting a free dessert as compensation only to find the dessert adorned with mouldy fruit, the hotel is certainly one to avoid in the future. It is somewhat lifted by its position on a lovely sandy beach though the scene is spoiled by the huge pay and display car park meaning that when the sun shines, the beach is packed. We stayed in a non sea view room which, whilst we didn’t expect the best outlook, provided a shanty town style view so if you want to look out of your window, the €50 premium for a sea view may be worth paying.

Stunning beach view from my room which was very comfortable and clean. The food offer was very good but the poor staff were run off their feet and it did take a while to get your order taken. Beautiful location. The hotel is a little tired and could do with some tlc and not all communal areas were clean e.g. back stairs.

The room was a bit dated and shabby. Not as nice as the images. However, the hotel is well situated, right on the beach-front. The night before we were due to leave, we had booked for dinner for the family at 6pm. When we arrived for dinner, we were informed the kitchen was closed because the hotel’s gas supply was cut. Nobody had made any effort to inform us in advance of us arriving for dinner. We have two young children who were hungry. We tried to find somewhere local to eat, but couldn’t find anywhere to go appropriate for young children. We finally went to a local supermarket and bought food to eat in our room. The following morning the gas supply had still not been fixed and there was no hot water to allow us to shower before our journey home. There was no attempt by the hotel to assist with alternative eating arrangements or to apologise for the situation. It was a disappointing end to a lovely holiday in Ireland.
