    amazing food
    helpful staff
    fine ocean views

    I stayed in a Superior King Room and experienced amazing food at the restaurant, particularly the local seafood options. The lively atmosphere and fine ocean views. The staff were helpful and attentive. It's conveniently located for access to hiking trails, which I appreciated after long work hours.

    stunning beach view and lovely staff, food looked great and breakfast good and we going back again soon p.g. can't wait.

    We like to smoke so we had to go out side as there is no shelter from rain or wind. That is the only problem we found.

    Excellent views over the ocean. We had a very good diner in the restaurant. Food is excellent. All staff is very friendly.

    Please inform beforehand if a party is held during your stay. We suffered loud music up to 01.00 hrs at night.

    fine views
    skillful cooking
    dated furnishings

    The dinner menu delivered a mouth-watering main course both nights, showcasing skillful cooking. A fully enclosed glass patio provided fine views of the moonrise over Ballinskelligs Bay.

    Breakfast left something to be desired, with mold on toast one morning and a disheartening offering for vegan options. The dining room's acoustics made it difficult to hold a conversation, and some furnishings appeared dated, diminishing the overall ambiance.

    Comfortable room. Shower very small but plenty of hot water. Good breakfast.

    A bit far out on the peninsula if you want to tour the other peninsulas.it added a lot of miles to a days driving to go back out to Waterville.

    really good dining
    room size

    The ambiance of the hotel created a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. Dining was really good, especially the dinner with fresh seafood. Breakfast also stood out with ample options, although the dinner service became chaotic during peak hours, leading to delays. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room felt a bit small, and I wished for modern touches in the bathroom. Despite some inconveniences, I would definitely consider returning for the beautiful location and fantastic dining experience.

    The food, was very good. Food service especially breakfast was quick & effecient

    Staff & management distant & unfriendly, is the main reason we will not be recommending to friends/family and we won't stay again.
