"Staff were amazing from beginning to end. Our room had plenty of room with two double beds but the rest of my family’s rooms which were doubles were so tiny and cramped!! Breakfast was lovely - lots of options! We had dinner in Fara Ógs on the first night and it was amazing!!! And dinner in the Tapas bar on the second night and it was equally as good. Swimming pool was great! Our bathroom had a bad smell and our TV remote didn’t work. But apart from that, we had a fantastic stay!!! Would definitely recommend!"
