Loved our stay. The room was great, comfortable bed and appreciated the fireplace. The beach view from the deck was wonderful. Location was perfect and we enjoyed our stroll on the beach. Will stay again.

View was amazing. Coffee pot needs an upgrade. We thought there was to be a BBQ also but our unit did not have one. Beautiful location and weather the time we were there. So relaxing .

Ground floor room right on the pathway for others to walk by very close to the room, not as private as I expected. Ocean view was nice. The room showed wear, missing sink stopper. As a condo, we expected a little more in the way of amenities, for example, strange that there were no dishes or cutlery for meals. Just a little under standard. Check in staff were very nice .

The minimal interaction with the one checkin person was fine.
This is a older resort that has been updated. The room was very clean, much smaller than a regular hotel room. It was a oceanfront ground suite, which would be nice in the summer, not so much winter. And, the price for the room was to much, we no doubt could have gotten a much nicer hotel room for the same price. Definitely only a 2 person suite...

Beautiful property and view. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of noise transfer between units, esp when closing Unit doors. Mattresses on beds need updating.

Kitchen was fully stocked. Four family members and their families gathered at the resort and easily visited between suites. It felt very family vacation friendly.

The views are stunning! The ability to lie in bed in front of a gas fire and at the same time look out the window to the ocean was amazing. If you bring your own dishes and glasses, the kitchenette is fine for snacks and simple meals. We didn’t try the pool or hot tub.
The room was in reasonable condition but could use a refresh. Nothing terrible, it’s just a bit tired.
There was a fair bit of noise from both next door and upstairs, which was unfortunate.
This was our 3rd stay here, twice in the same room. I’d definitely stay again, but will choose a different room if this one hasn’t been updated a bit.
It’s also lovely to be right next door to The Cedars restaurant at Tigh Na Mara. Stay here, eat there!

The property was beautiful right on the ocean with unbeatable views. Unfortunately, the beds in both bedrooms were extremely uncomfortable and made for a sleepless night. We were disappointed that for the price point, we were also asked to take out our own garbage and recycling.
