The staff really make this hotel, they're genuinely fantastic. We had an issue checking in which they promptly resolved whilst offering us a complimentary drink in the bar which was very much appreciated. The staff in the restaurant are brilliant, had a good chat and craic with them over breakfast and dinner each day plus the food is outstanding. Rooms are clean and comfy too with lovely views over the beach.
