Mixed Feelings About This Stay

no air conditioningbar noise
The room did not have air conditioning. The open windows led directly to the noisy outdoor bar area. The noise continued from early until late. I also found it uncomfortably hot.

The location on the sea is beautiful and I enjoyed the scenery. A walking path goes along the coast to Malahide and I visited it. I was given a ground floor room because I traveled with a baby.
The shower didnt work for two of my four nights here. Access to ice was not available at all. Coffee was not available until 6:30 AM and is not free .

Excellent Golf and Spa Experience

secure parkingfantastic golfhigh prices
The hotel has secure metered parking free for residents. The staff were great, and the spa experience was amazing. I played golf on the Jameson Links, a fantastic course set up to the highest standard.
The drink prices in the bar were exorbitant. On principle, i would not pay those prices again.

the hotel had secure metered parking that was free for residents. upon arrival, i found a spacious and luxurious reception area. the server at the bar, emma, was particularly excellent. She provided very professional service. i found the jameson links golf course to be set up to the highest standard. It was a true test for any player.
The small balcony could use some tidying up. I did notice weeds and clay buildup from birds.
