We had a lovely stay in Fota, the staff were amazing and the food was amazing. The hotel itself is nice hotel but the spa is a bit underwhelming. My wife had a treatment and rated the treatment as excellent so that part is impressive it the spa facility itself that needs some work.

One night stay as a family
One night stay, would have loved a longer visit. Every single member of staff that we met was professional, obliging and genuinely pleasant and in good form. That tells a lot about a hotel. We plan to return again.

The stay was very standard —kids are not allowed into the pool after 5 and the hot tub was freezing cold - there was very little here to make us come back.

The grounds on the property are beautiful! The hotel was lovely, the staff was very helpful and friendly, and the room was pretty and comfortable. They even put robes and chocolates out on your bed at night before bedtime. We enjoyed our stay very much.
