Absolutely amazing service! Everyone is genuinely kind and welcoming. The scones are hands down the best in Ireland. The place feels truly luxurious, the seats are incredibly comfortable, and the view is just breathtaking! A kind note for the manager: it is generally considered impolite to interrupt someone while they are playing the piano, especially when they have asked twice for permission to do so. To avoid any confusion in the future, it may be helpful for the manager to ensure that the staff are informed that the piano is reserved for concert use only.

Our 2 days in this Resort were truly amazing, the highest praise is due. From entering the hotel with a warm personal greeting to leaving it was a joy. The facilities, the Golf, the food both in the Club House and the Restaurant were excellent. A special mention for the staff and the customer service they provided was the best we've experienced, it made our trip really exceptional. This Resort is pristine, very beautiful. Highly recommend.
We loved our stay at Fota Island! We stayed 3 days, all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. The room and facilities were very clean. Breakfast in the morning was great, we did dine one night in the restaurant, it was 7/10. Slightly overpriced for the quality of food and service but everything else was excellent during our stay. The golf course was very nice as well as the wildlife area. Highly recommend!
