Little bit underwhelming, but enjoyed the stay

Lovely hotel & staff, would stay again. Although I wouldn’t say it’s 5 stars, from personal experience I have stayed in 4 star hotels that offer more. Overall would recommend.
Lauren, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great resort hotel , one glaring issue I would have is the charge to use the steam room which is separated from the main pool and jacuzzi. After paying a very high price for a Monday night stay to charge an extra 25 euro to use the steam room was insulting. The steam room is part of an area with whirlpools etc. apart from that all good golf course was amazing !!

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.
