Well Where do We even Begin!

For the First, (and Hopefully the Only time) I’ll ever have to write, not just a Hotel Review but a Wedding Venue Review.

The Story Starts about 13 Months ago at The Wedding Showcase in Dublin, 2025. Recently Engaged we gathered many Brochures before retreating to review them. Among those that stood out to us was the Arklow Bay Hotel. Upon meeting Tee, the person who would later turn out to be our wedding coordinator we were immediately hooked as unlike many of the other wedding venues we visited, she made everything about us. She Put together as Customised Wedding package which catered to Our Needs, right down to the last little detail.

Tee, I'm sure throughout the process, you had many moments where a lot of French language was used in your office given the many "Random" meetings that were never prearranged that I showed up for but from the bottom of our hearts, myself and my now wife, would like to thank you for everything over the last 11 months, and for how smoothly everything went on the day itself. You Calmed both of us down (And Believe me we were both Stressed out of our minds the morning of), and got us through the day, right to the end.

Of Course, no hotel is a one person show and to all the Staff of the Arklow Bay Hotel that looked after our guests throughout the day, Thank you for everything. To the General Manager, Ciaran, you've a super team right from Dee at Reception, to Paula & Jennifer on the Floor, Marcus in the Bar, Raphael on Nights, and Paul..... My God, Paul may as well have been a Second Magician on the day during our Wedding Service, given our Guests won't shut up about him since we got home and he even has made an appearance in a few wedding photos! Guys once again, Thank you all for everything!

Feels a little bit weird to only be coming to the hotel review now but given I was the groom I got to experience both A Twin Room with my father the night before and the Bridal suite for a couple of nights.

The Twin - Very Modern, featuring everything you would expect from a 4 Star Property. The Room was a little bit on the small side, especially for 2 people trying to get ready on the day itself, but that really is my only gripe and if we're being really honest, nit-picking!

The Suite - OUT OF THIS WORLD - Huge room, huge bathroom, I can safely say my Bride and her Bridal Party had all the space in the world to Get ready in on the day compared to me and my dad. But what really makes this room special is its panoramic View of the Sea. We were lucky to have the sun actually come up the morning of our big day despite it Being February and let me tell you folks, you could just stand staring out at that view and watch the sunset, it was magical!

Myself and my groomsmen did venture over to the Leisure Centre a couple of times and again very modern and lovely swimming pool, steam room, and sauna!

As Cliché as it may sound, After All the Stress of the past 11 months, right from 4:30am the morning of the wedding I can safely say myself and my Bride had THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES and we can't wait to return for our 1 Year Anniversary!

Guys From the The New MR & MRS Blake

Thank you for Everything!

We had the most wonderful family evening at the Bay Hotel, surrounded by our nearest and dearest. It was truly a magical and unforgettable night for all of us.
The restaurant was exceptional — the cuisine was absolutely delicious, and the staff were so warm, attentive, and welcoming. We felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire evening.
The hotel itself impressed us with its beauty, spotless cleanliness, and perfect location. Every detail created such a special atmosphere.
I would also love to mention the suite at the Bay Hotel. My son and his wife stayed there overnight — it was a small gift for them — and they were absolutely thrilled. They loved the elegant atmosphere, the outstanding service, and the incredible food.
Thank you for helping us create such beautiful memories .

Location, room, pool area, nice meals, friendly staff.

The arklow bay really looked after me on my recent stay for a business trip.
My room was beautifully appointed and I had a wonderfully restful night's sleep. The bar and restaurant staff were attentive and efficient.
The whole experience was so easy, peaceful and so welcoming. Every member of staff was warm and so helpful.
This will be my choice of hotel when in the area for business and I hope to return for a personal stay also.

The food was lovely

Great hotel. Food excellent and staff were very friendly and helpful.Facilitates are great. Nice walks and town centre less than 5 minutes walk away

I booked my daughters Christening with the team in the Arklow Bay and from start to finish they booking and service was easy and the team were excellent. Tee in events looked after all the details and nothing was a problem. On the day we were taken care of by Nuno and his team with a special thanks to Calvin who looked after us so well during the delicious meal. We stayed the night in the hotel also and the rooms were lovely and spacious.

Lovely bedrooms, appear to be newly refurbished. Great sustainable water fountain and jug in room.

I had a lovely mini break in the Arklow Bay Hotel recently......beautiful fresh furnishings/decor, very helpful, friendly staff and excellent food.
The Spa was excellent too and at ground level, with a view of the outside world, which was less claustrophobic than the usual spas in the belly of hotels.
I got a very good deal too for my mini break.......great value!!!
The hotel was very quiet too, even though there were quite a few guests staying at the hotel.....it was therefore a nice, calm few days of peace and quiet.

The hotel was wonderful and the staff very helpful. Would happily eat the food every day. We had a great couple of days, really enjoyed ourselves there.
