We were expecting great things but were sadly disappointed.
Pros:

Food and service in the Ocean Bistro was excellent. Most of the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Our ocean view room had been tastefully refurbished, though some items were too big (round footstool, bedside lamps and tables) and left little space for our belongings.

Cons:

The service in Aileen's restaurant was poor - we waited 50 minutes for our main courses. Larger groups seemed to be prioritised. The take away food service enabled non residents and children to use the chairs, picnic tables and grass area at the back of the hotel, leaving little room for guests to sit and relax and enjoy the view. The room safe was not fixed in position so it was not fit for purpose.

Cosy, intimate traditional Irish pub with great staff, food, drink and music
Pros:

We spent the evening in the Armada Hotel bar and had a really outstanding time. The old pub forms the foundations for the much newer and bigger hotel buildings. It's a cosy, intimate and very friendly place with lots of old-style charm and atmosphere. The menu had limited vegan/vegetarian choice - it could do with more options - but the food itself was delicious, well-cooked and generously-portioned. The music was excellent, Tony Benn performing gems from over the years, getting the pub singing and clapping and taking requests - it was like having a personal jukebox. The staff were friendly, had a great sense of humour and seemed to really want you to enjoy your experience at the pub. We'll definitely be going back.

Poor 4 star hotel
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had good variety, bed was very comfortable.
Unfortunately we were in a family room with no view which was small. The room was extremely warm during the night, we opened the window and subsequently awaken during the early morning with kitchen staff talking outside and making noise. No communal area to sit and read, we had to go back to the bedroom. Poor selection of food in the restaurant, very good if you like fish otherwise not good.
In comparison with other 4 star hotels I do not understand the Armada receiving this rating.
