10/10 Exceptional

Loved the beach view - great location!
Michelle, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stunning beach view from my room which was very comfortable and clean. The food offer was very good but the poor staff were run off their feet and it did take a while to get your order taken. Beautiful location. The hotel is a little tired and could do with some tlc and not all communal areas were clean e.g. back stairs.

Great food

Staff were fantastic, especially in restaurant! Room just a quick check of sockets would be good, not all useable at bedside but only minor issue.

Gorgeous location, with long stretches of beach and shoreline trails to walk.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

6/10 Good

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.
Sherrie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful setting. Sheets were stained but good quality. They probably don’t use bleach. Carpet is very stained. Nice pillows. Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Renovated bathroom. Very nice.

Very nice people, very enjoy the ocean view
Yongzhong, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

the location is in front of the sea. You can appreciate the sound of the sea waves. The problem is that it is not well served by buses to reach it. The breakfast is average. Good value for money.

Rooms need a refresh

The rooms need an update. No fans or air conditioning. Bed was very hard and slopping. Bathroom small without a fan and a very bad smell.

Fantastic stay

A last night night away and was absolutely fantastic right from the start with getting a room upgrade to all the staff who were so friendly and helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble to any of them

The receptionist was amazing. She was super helpful and all generally all the staff were helpful, but she went the extra mile.

Lovely small hotel on the beach. Staff is very helpful and nice. Restaurant is very good. Room looks newly refurbed and bathroom has had a complete makeover. Very clean and comfortable. Room is small. Parking is free. Views are beautiful. 15 mins from DUB airport.

Lovely location and getaway but not modern

Lovely staff, very helpful. Hotel is not modern. It's had a cosmetic makeover but walls are thin and bathrooms have clearly had years of use. Location is beautiful with the beach walk and restaurant had everything we could need so ended up spending most of the time just relaxing in the hotel or by the beach outside.
Heidi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The food is fantastic! Only one bad thing they don’t have a/c in the rooms it says it does but that’s not true! But over definitely worth the stay just don’t go in the hotter weather!
Donald, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs updated. Beautiful location..

Perfect location to the shore. Very dated. Ripped curtains. No air conditioning as specified on website. It was unusually hot when there, so very disappointed.
April, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Reported heater not working. Staff came to room to explain it should be on with 15 mins. Had dinner back to room. Still no heating. Extremely disappointing. Desperately needed an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Hooks to hang towels on and a towel dryer.
Darren, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We chose this hotel because it was close to the airport but far enough away to be enjoyable. We were very pleased with the property. It's right on the beach so a beautiful location. It has plenty of parking and it was easy to drive to. The desk agent was adorable and she was so very helpful. She offered to book a table for us for dinner and she arranged to have some breakfast items available for us since we needed to leave before their breakfast service. Our room was clean and modern and quite spacious. We had one large bed and a twin size bed. The bathroom was very modern and well lit. We enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant and a short walk by the beach. We needed to leave early for our flight but there were several breakfast options available just as the desk agent promised. Our drive to the airport was about 25 minutes. If you are looking for something near the airport but not AT the airport, you might consider this property. We would definitely stay again.

2/10 Poor

Missleading info for airport and city transfer

Very bad for people who do not have their own car. When i booked I read that they both had transfer from Dublin city centre and airport transfer. When I called to check the day after they didn't have transfer from Dublin city centre and I would have to use public transport (~2 hours) or taxi (~30euro) to get there. They did however say that they could fix the airport transfer for me at my departure. A couple days before my arrival they mailed and asked for request, to which i specified when I needed my airport transfer. And now I recieved answer that airport transfer would not be working on the day I was there but they could call a taxi that I would pay for myself. I did not expect all of this to add 50 euros to my stay and felt very cheated to read so much missleading reasurance that transfer could be fixed prior to the booking. If the transfer you are refering to is just calling a taxi then all hotels have transfer. Not impressed.
