Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were top quality with a very comfy bed, plenty of space, and a lovely view from the window. The only downside was the room temperature that started a bit chilly. The service was very good, although some staff members were not overly friendly. The location was excellent, just a stone's throw from the beach and right in the middle of the village. The dining experience was hot, fresh, and plentiful. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
The hotel rooms were a bit on the small side but made up for it with top-quality amenities and a cozy feel. The staff was super friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. The location was superb, just steps away from the beach and ideal for socializing with friends over drinks and food. The dining experience offered hot, fresh, and well-done dishes that left a good impression. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to return.
The hotel offers basic but clean and good value rooms with charming cat pictures on the walls. While the rooms are a bit small, they provide a cozy atmosphere. The TV channels might be limited, and the distance from the lift could be inconvenient at times. The service is exceptional, with staff members going above and beyond to ensure guests have a successful and enjoyable stay. The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from the white sands beach in Co Kerry. The dining experience serves delicious cooked-to-order meals with a variety of choices to satisfy different cravings. The facilities are well-maintained and offer everything needed for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is in a lovely little location beside the sea, close to the beautiful beach. The rooms were of top quality with a comfy bed and an imaginative view. The service was friendly but had some moments of rudeness. The dining experience was average to poor, and the facilities were lacking.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room was tiny and had old-fashioned wallpaper with cat pictures, the service was lacking in friendliness. On the upside, the location was excellent, close to the beach, offering good value for a budget break.
