I stayed in a 3 bedroom fota lodge, it was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed the break. The staff were very pleasant and helpful at the hotel. The spa area was great and the staff made you feel very relaxed. The food was lovely, enjoyed both bar and restaurant food. Will definitely recommend and hopefully will be back. more

This is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. I stayed there recently for a wedding and was very impressed. The bedrooms are among the highest standard I've ever come across. The food was great although the service was a little on the 'relaxed' side. The bar was a bit expensive but you expect that from 5Star hotels.... more

Stayed for a night on Sat 2nd Jan. Check in was faultless and as it was quiet we were told there was no rush checking out the next day. Room was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We put on our robes and slippers and headed to the pool/spa area which, very ideallyhas its own lift. Will be back with the kids... more

We decided last minute to go to a Spa for a relaxing break for two nights B & B & evening meal and unfortunately we picked Fota Island Resort. On arrival and on the following day, we went into the lounge for a drink which took 25mins (both days) to get served, whilst sitting at a dirty table which was... more

Dear Dubliner74, Thank you for your review of your recent stay and please accept our apologies for the fact that it clearly did not meet your expectations. We fully agree that having to wait 25 minutes to be served a drink at a table which hasn't been cleared is unacceptable. I realise that it will be of no consolation to...

The Fota Sheraton in Cork is a FABULOUS hotel. I stayed there with my partner on 28 December and it was fantastic. Even the driveway of the hotel is beautiful. We got a special deal (on Fota's website) and it was only €95 for a standard room for the night - WELL worth it. We had lunch in the Amber... more

The also had an excellent selection of channels (including the sports ones). The bathroom was very big, nice deep bath with interesting fixtures, roomy shower, great pressure. The bathroom had a... more
