Salthill getaway.
Pros:

Lovely ambience in hotel, great location. Plenty of space to relax. Staff were lovely, reception, pool area, cleaners, concierge lady, all very friendly ..there was just one waitress in restaurant who may have been having a bad day...

Cons:

Meal in restaurant was over priced, €5 supplement for sole.. wasn't presented well and smothered in sauce. Waitress quite rude, not what you'd expect when paying these prices!
