Annual get together with friends
Pros:

Port Marnock provides everything. A fantastic hotel in a superb location, with unbelievable views. Every member of the team know just how to look after their guests. Worthy of special mention because he couldn’t do too much from arranging transport and recommending entertainment, concierge Brian is a giant among giants. A top man! Port Marnock is definitely a go to again hotel. Thank you everybody….

Perfect stay - we will definitely return.
Pros:

We stayed for 3 nights and will most definitely return. Everything was perfect, our room was really spacious with an incredible sea view. All the staff were exceptional from check-in, housekeeping, bar and restaurant - special mention to Brian the concierge who was super friendly, helped carry our bags out to the car on check out and gave us some great travel tips for spending our last day in the area.
I also made use of the spa and had the best massage ever with a therapist who clearly really knows anatomy and helped ease long term pain in my shoulder. Wish we were staying longer as I would have definitely had another one!
Highly recommend a stay here, my husband and I loved it.

Seaweed
Pros:

Went with my wife for a sea weed bath,which my daughter had booked for us as a anniversary present. She had got as a complementary gift.the sea weed bath would have cost us 330 euros which I taught was outrageous. I have had a sea weed bath in enniscrone which is the original for 25 euros. We had to change in a toilet before our bath and a disabled toilet after, in a supposedly 4 star hotel.

Accomadatation for an early flight
Pros:

Just a quick overnight stay near Dublin Airport because of an early flight ✈️! Arrived a little late, but check-in was a breeze, which was super helpful. We got a family room, which was perfect for our little crew. Woke up feeling rested and ready for our journey. Definitely a convenient spot when you need to be close to the airport for a flight. Would totally use it again if needed! 👍 #AirportHotel #TravelLife #EarlyFlight #DublinBound

Shockingly bad service at Seaview Restaurant
Pros:

Visited the Seaview Restaurant with two family members on 26/01/26. Despite only three tables being occupied, we were told to stand and wait for a dirty table to be cleared, with no offer of an available clean table. We were given water and menus but were not offered a wine list or asked if we wanted drinks.
We then waited 20 minutes while the female server leaned against the kitchen door with her arms folded, chatting to staff. We eventually had to call her over to place our order. When the food finally arrived around 30 minutes later, I was handed a dangerously hot plate with no warning. The food was mediocre at best; the beer-battered haddock was dry, hard, and unpleasant.
After finishing, our plates were left on the table for 25 minutes while staff continued chatting. We gave up and flagged down a male server, ordering dessert at the same time. The desserts arrived 20 minutes later and were without doubt the worst tiramisu we’ve ever had — clearly pre-made and completely uninspiring.
Only two customers entered after us, yet plates on a neighbouring table remained uncleared from our arrival until we left over two hours later. Thankfully, we had a voucher, as I would never pay to eat here. Shockingly poor service from start to finish.
