This place is amazing. After a rough start with the rental car company, the woman that checked us in turned it all around for us! She was lovely. We had a nice walk around the beach and then had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant. We ate both dinner and breakfast here and they were both fantastic. Our rooms had an amazing view of the beach/water.

The pro’s were the beautiful location on the ocean and a great Walking path along the water. The con’s were the hotel was a little worn, the room was very small for two people and staff were not overly friendly.

The hotel is beautifully located on a beach and is within 20 minutes of the Dublin Airport. We were there on Mother's Day which happened to also be a beautiful, sunny day and so the hotel was VERY busy. We arrived a bit early and could not check in so walked the beach and enjoyed the day. We were then sent to our room and arrived to the smell of stale cigarette smoke and the previous guests fingernails on the carpet. There was no phone in the room to call down to the desk, so my travelling companion went down to be informed that there were no other rooms and a manager would be up to address our concerns. After a 40 minute wait, I went down and spoke again to the front desk clerk (she was delightful), who went in search of the manager again and informed me that they would be up in a moment. Waited another 20 minutes and went down again. This time I spoke directly to the manager she had spoken to and was informed a manager had just gone up. I returned to the room to find a manager who listened to our concerns and then offered us another room. It was an upgrade and had a view of the ocean, so we took it. In fairness to the staff, they were being run off their legs due to the high volume of people in the dining room and at the special Mother's Day tea, but the cleanliness of the room was of concern. We had dinner there and it was fine. Not a lot of choice, but again that may have been due to the holiday and not their normal fare. The hotel is in need of a refresh.

Hidden Gem - fabulous 🌟

This place was totally not what we were expecting. It was right on the beach. Views from the balcony are awesome! The place was easy to find, just off M1 and a pretty straight shot from there. The staff (all we met anyway) were great, very accommodating and gave great service with a genuine smile and happy to help attitude. The food was gorgeous, kudos to the cooks. Portions are big so bring an appetite and the drinks taste lovely. I have recommended this place to anyone who will listen. Will definitely need to get back. It's not far from Dublin and many other places so it is accessible for those who want to go in to Dublin or anywhere else.
