Family Wedding Stay.

Smooth check in and the room was ready ahead of time which was appreciated. We were booked with children and the only access to the room was up a flight of stairs. There was good choice at breakfast. Hotel surroundings are pleasant. Hotel bar is prohibitively expensive.

Views of the Irish Sea!

Great hotel close to the ocean with a great pool and fitness club across the parking lot. Walking trail/nature trail is a nice walk to the beach. Front desk staff was superb! Answered all of our questions, gave suggestions and were very helpful. Ate dinner at the restaurant and the included breakfast was delightful. They poached an egg for me and they will also make pancakes to order. Everything else is self serve buffet with everything you could want for breakfast ! A nice respite on our busy trip through Ireland!

I’m happy we were only here two nights

Our room was on third level near the lift at the junction of three hallways with doors that slammed every time someone closed one. It was also directly above the lounge and the live music came right through the floor. In addition, there was insufficient parking available for guests. At one point it was necessary park up the hill behind a barn in an unimproved unmarked lot. Our water view was over roof of the lobby and building across the way. The buffet breakfast at the hotel is excellent

A lovely comfort room. Perfect for women. It has an iron and an ironing board! A small hair dryer for drying your hair and body. In front of a large mirror. Phone beside your double bed. Dail 0 for reception. Use your mobile for calls outside. TV is on an arm that’s moveable. Bed is super comfortable. Ask for a blanket to be sent to your room. Gorgeous views over Arklow town from bedroom window. Breakfast is fantastic!

Room downfall

An older hoter with ample car park and well kept mature gardens. Lobby and restaurants as expected, service superb and enjoyed the food albeit pricey compared to an equivalent in town. Music Wednesday night which we really enjoyed. The downfall is the room, it was dated and could do with a revamp as the curtains were old and dirty at floor level. The bathroom is another story, no bath just an open shower meaning a towel on the floor is essential after use and potentially a slip hazard. Black mould in two upper wall corners probably due to the lack of a working fan and the floor tiles should be lifted and relaid as black quick fix silicone is not a great look.

Disappointed

Title: Staff Shines, but Overall Experience Falls Short I want to start by acknowledging the wonderful staff at this hotel – their friendliness and assistance truly stood out during our stay. Unfortunately, the positives end there. The value for money was quite disappointing ( €500+ seems to be the new normal for 1 room 2 nights) The high room rates were not justified by the overall experience. As a family with young children, the room layout was a major letdown. The lack of space and child-friendly features made our stay challenging. Adding to our frustration was the damp smell that seemed to emanate from the bathroom facilities. This was not only unpleasant but also concerning in terms of hygiene. The condition of the bathroom definitely needs improvement. Even the breakfast, which is often a highlight of a hotel stay, was uninspiring. Limited options and lackluster quality left a lot to be desired. While the staff's efforts were commendable, these issues significantly impacted our stay. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and takes steps to enhance the overall experience for future guests.
