It’s a beautiful place to visit but not the best place to stay.
Pros:

Beautiful views. Lovely staff.

Cons:

This hotel needs a major upgrade! When we arrived, the room was not clean, the shower door was off its rail, garbage still in the bin. We advised the front desk, she was very concerned and offered to switch us rooms. But we paid for the view and the alternate room was overlooking a kitchen vent with no view. We opted to stay in our room. The following morning, advised a different front desk staff member that the shower door needed fixing and the shower didn’t drain and the room was dirty - garbage on floor and under beds. Went out for the day and returned to the room cleaned up, shower door still off the rail. Beds were clean but old, you could feel the bed springs in your back. There is no mention of the room being over a bar and the music late into the evening on the weekend was ridiculous. Breakfast was good.

Beautiful views, limited menu, poor quality beds and facilities.
Pros:

The location on the ocean was beautiful and parking was good. The menu was very limited but the food was good. The rooms and decor were more American looking rather than quaint Irish.

Cons:

The property was very isolated. The beds were very uncomfortable with springs pointing out and slanting to the sides. The steam room and sauna were broken. The pool was nice but there were swimming lessons being given in the evenings which made it loud rather than relaxing. For a hotel labeled “spa” I was expecting a bit more.

If it weren't for the bed, a very pleasant stay
Pros:

Superb location, friendly helpful staff, generally food facilities

Cons:

The bed in our room was atrocious, one of the worst I've ever attempted to sleep in. For me it was a painful sleepless night. Friends of ours fared slightly better but it's definitely something that needs serious improvement.

Pros:

Beautiful location

Cons:

The bed reminded me of being on a raft at sea. The room was very clean and a good size. The hotel itself needs a good face lift. Beautiful location.
