The hotel room I could not really fault, but the restaurant was definitely not worth eating in. It was way over priced you get a small portion of veg to share between two. I ordered duck and the lady told me I had to have it cooked medium as the chef would not be willing to cook it any other way for me. there was no ambiance in the restaurant we sat down to eat our food at half 7 and there was a girl setting up tables for the breakfast beside us and once anyone finished their meal she stripped the table too so there was tables randomly being set for breakfast around the restaurant at half 7. We also got the waffels to finish which were cold and inedible without a knife and fork they were so hard. with no starter or wine our meal was 66 euro for two bad courses your money would be better spent in a restaurant in town.

The Good:
The staff: Courteous, helpful & genuinely friendly.
The food: We had breakfast and bar food, all of very good quality
The pool. This is the first hotel pool in Ireland where it was comfortable to stay in the water as long as you wanted without risking hypothermia!
The price: For a family of four it was unbeatable value.
Not-so-good
Our mattresses. The youngest had a fold-up and it was the comfiest. The mattresses on the two other beds were very firm.
Food delay. We had no schedule and were in no rush but 40 minutes from taking our food order in the bar to delivery seems poor. We didn't complain at the time as the food quality was worth waiting for. I wonder though if someone was really hungry if they should have gone elsewhere.
Cannot comment on childrens activities as this was December and not a weekend.

Just returned today from a Weekend break at the Kenmare Bay and overall we enjoyed the hotel.However I purposely booked a Superior room as it stated on the hotel's website that all of their Superior rooms had wi fi.This is not the case unfortunatly.I was unable to access the internet all wkend and after seeking advise on numerous occasions from reception I was informed that the firewall on my own computer was the problem.Very annoying as I have never had a problem in any other hotel in Ireland!!

Okay hotel!
not that great but I did in joy it!
Choose the higher rooms(bottom room views are dreadful!!!!)
