Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers well-equipped rooms that are fantastic but might be affected by outside noise. The service is welcoming and helpful, with one exception. The location is fabulous regardless of the weather. The dining experience is amazing, up to the expected standard. The hotel provides great facilities.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were lovely and comfortable, especially the Wild Atlantic Suite with its spectacular sea view. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was simply magical. The service was exceptional, especially Louise, Grace, and Susan who were so friendly and went out of their way to make my stay memorable. The location couldn't have been better, right on the shores of the Atlantic at Spanish Point. The dining experience was fantastic with a great selection every morning. The hotel facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a perfect getaway.
I had a great time at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although I wish I had an ocean view. The service was outstanding, with everyone being so nice and friendly. The location was excellent, overlooking the stunning Atlantic Ocean. The dining experience was lovely, especially the healthy options. The facilities were fantastic, offering everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
The hotel rooms were spacious with a comfy bed and a great shower, equipped with an iron, ironing board, very good hairdryer, tea and coffee facilities, a safe, and bathrobes. I was pleasantly surprised by the treats, balloons, and birthday card waiting for me in the room. However, some minor details were missed, like cutlery and plates, but the lovely ocean views made up for it.
The hotel was a delightful surprise with unique touches in the rooms and exceptional service. The location was special, offering wonderful extras and stunning sea views. While the breakfast was a letdown, the overall experience was memorable and perfect for a peaceful getaway.
The hotel offered warm and comfortable rooms with a 3-star standard, though not 4-star, and a picturesque location near the sea. The service was exceptional, highlighted by the dedicated wedding executive and attentive staff. Dining was exquisite, providing nourishing options for a great start to the day. However, the rooms fell slightly short of a perfect sea view.
Returning to the hotel after a day out, our rooms hadn't been turned down but had a fantastic sea view. The fact that most guests were young added to our experience. The service received 5 stars, with exceptional guidance from a manager. Unfortunately, a broken boiler was a downside. The location was remarkable, overlooking the water and ideal for exploring Clare, though drafty at times. The dining experience was lovely, with spacious room views. Facilities were pleasant, with a notable need for repairs in some areas.
