Amazing Spa Experience

During my visit, I had the pleasure of enjoying the Grotto Spa, which is a unique and tranquil oasis. The excellent treatments left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed, and I couldn't believe how spacious the spa bungalows were, complete with a large soaker tub and rain shower. I frequently found myself soaking in the jacuzzi while watching TV through a secret door connecting the living area, creating a perfect blend of comfort and serenity.

Delicious Dining Experience

I had the opportunity to try the tiny wedding package dining at the resort, and it exceeded all my expectations. The food was not only delicious, but they also catered to dietary preferences with gluten-free options, which I greatly appreciated. The ceremony immediately followed by appetizers served in the seaside gazebo made it feel special and nice.

Comfortable Room Features

The Duplex Cottage Suite I stayed in was quiet and cozy, perfect for a relaxed getaway. The king-sized bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything I needed to prepare meals. Though some furniture was a bit worn, the privacy and spaciousness of the suite made up for it. Checking all cupboards early on for supplies was a good tip, as I found the coffee and tea basket hidden away.

Stunning Views from the Bedroom

During my stay, I was fortunate to have a room with stunning views that made every morning a delight. The combination of the spacious accommodations, along with the beautiful nature surrounding me, truly made my experience nice. I couldn't have asked for a more picturesque setting to unwind and reconnect with nature.

This resort is truly a gem, especially if you’re looking for a family-friendly experience with plenty of amenities. The cabins were spacious enough for our group, and the entertainment options kept all of us busy and engaged. However, the dining reservation process could use improvement, as it caused some stress during our stay. Overall, it was a wonderful family getaway, and I’d recommend it without hesitation.

We had high hopes for our 25th Anniversary weekend at the resort, but it ended up being disappointing. While our room was spacious with a beautiful view, the absence of air conditioning during the hot weather was a downside. The Cedars restaurant for breakfast did not meet our expectations, but we enjoyed the spa and treetop restaurant. Overall, it's unlikely we'll return to this resort.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. While the location is stunning, right on the beach and surrounded by beautiful scenery, the room cleanliness and outdated decor were underwhelming. The staff's service was inconsistent, which detracted from the experience, but the spa itself provided a fantastic massage. Overall, it was a decent getaway, but I might seek alternative accommodations next time.

6.2/10

My stay at Tigh Na Mara was somewhat disappointing, mainly due to its outdated facilities and lack of convenience. The beautiful view from my room was a highlight, but overall, the resort felt more like a family destination than a spa getaway. While the staff seemed friendly, the dining options were quite limited and the amenities didn't quite meet expectations given the price. The spa services were a redeeming factor, especially the massage, but the overall experience left much to be desired.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in had a gorgeous view, but it felt very outdated. The furnishings and decor seemed like they hadn't been updated in decades, and the mattress was in dire need of replacement. It was comfortable enough for the stay but definitely not luxurious.

Service

7.0

The staff were friendly and professional; however, I encountered some awkwardness during the check-in process, which could have been handled better. Overall service was decent but lacked the attention to detail I expected.

Location

8.0

The resort is situated in a beautiful area right next to Rathtrevor Beach. However, during the off-season, some nearby facilities were closed or limited, which made things less convenient.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were rather underwhelming, especially since the resort only offered a set menu during certain times. The pizza was the main take-out option, and it didn't feel substantial for the price.

Facilities

6.0

While the spa had some nice amenities, like the grotto pool, it felt old and in need of urgent updates. There were limited food options on-site, which was disappointing for a resort trying to position itself as a spa destination.

7.2/10

We had a good stay, but the cabin we booked was smaller than expected and less private being right by the parking lot. On the upside, the beach was amazing, and we had a fantastic dinner at Cedars. Overall, it was a mixed experience, balancing decent amenities with some downsides.

Rooms

5.0

The two-bedroom cabin was a lot smaller than I anticipated. The bedrooms were quite cramped, making it difficult to walk around the beds, and the living area felt tiny as well. Unfortunately, it lacked privacy since it was located right by the hotel parking lot.

Service

I didn’t have too much interaction with the staff, but my experience was generally neutral. There was a sense that they were managing a busy environment, and while they were not unfriendly, they could have been more welcoming.

The beach was simply fantastic. Being right next to it allowed for easy access to gorgeous views and walks along the shoreline.

Dinner at Cedars was excellent; I really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere there. It definitely stood out as one of the highlights of my stay.

Facilities

The hotel had some nice amenities, though the cabin itself was lacking in space. However, it was cozy and oceanfront, which added to its charm.
