This hotel had a fabulous pool (along with hot tub, sauna, and steam room), as well as a gym. Short bus ride to Galway (cost a family of 4 €5.60)- you would not want to be driving your vehicle into Galway and paying for parking there. It is super busy! Great buffet breakfast with a wide variety of food and fresh fruit!
