Lovely Hotel with friendly staff and good location
Pros:

We stayed for 2 nights and from the moment we arrived the receptionist and all the staff we encountered were very welcoming and friendly. Food was excellent, we ate in the bar both days and despite being busy all the staff were very helpful and efficient. The breakfast, was good with something for everyone. The bedroom while not large was comfortable and we slept well. We didn't use the leisure centre but it looked nice. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Will definitely be back
Pros:

I stayed overnight in the Arklow Bay Hotel and would absolutely recommend it. Right beside the sea. Such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Our room was beautiful and spotless. Every single staff member was so friendly and helpful. The hotel is so spacious that it never felt too full or too loud. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

Pros:

The staff and the food are amazing..plenty of areas to sit and relax .

Cons:

A few more television channels wouldn’t be a bad thing, the outside area is in need of some TLC as the area was covered in lights (not turned on) an outdoor heater ( not plugged in) glasses left all over the walls and tables outside even though the hotel was fully booked with a good few children running around it was like an accident waiting to happen.

Pros:

I stay here at least twice a year. I absolutely love everything about this hotel. Location is perfect. Great walks and close to everything. There is nothing I can fault. Food is top notch. Staff are amazing, so friendly and obliging. Rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean. Whether you dine in the restaurant or bar food there’s something for everyone and is very high quality.
