Pros:

The staff were lovely. Particularly the two ladies that were on the desk the day we arrived. The noises policy is a lovely idea we never heard a peep when we went to our room. The park was a great addition too aswel as the sensory room

Cons:

I thought for the price breakfast should have been included. It would have cost us over £60 on top of room price for breakfast

Great place for location to see family and visit Dublin City
Pros:

Great location, delicious food in the bar restaurant nice to have a swimming pool

Cons:

Toilet paper was cheap and very rough, pillows in the room were very solid and not to my comfort. Decoration needs updating as looking very tired and scuffed in places.

Emerald Park Getaway
Pros:

Got upgraded to sensory bedroom, due to the actual sensory room being upgraded, this was very much appreciated due to having 3 children in our party.

Rooms very clean, and spacious, air conditioning great, full bedroom clean each day, shower lovely and powerful, fridge in room.

It was exactly what we needed for a family break.

Cons:

One of the beds in our room had a massive dent in the middle of it - definitely needs upgraded.

Toilet was leaking aswell.

Bar prices was abit much, also everytime I went I was charged different?
